We ordered roasted lamb and Greek ribs. Food was delicious. Lamb was falling apart tender. Service was good but the food took forever to get out of the kitchen.

Flavourful food, good customer service, and a very comfortable 2nd floor terrace facing the main street to enjoy a meal upon.

Everything was delicious! I ordered a platter for two and it ended up feeding my entire family of 5. The calamari was the highlight of the night. Service was on point!

Absolutely hands down THE best roast lamb I have ever had! Melt in your mouth, tender deliciousness! I wish I lived here that I could indulge more regularly, but alas, I’ll have to make due with stops on my way thru. Hubby had the rib & prawn special, tasty as well. Extremely generous portions. Great place, food, service, greek décor. We’ll be back.

Arrived just before closing but was welcomed nonetheless. Calamari probably one of the best we’ve ever had. Real greek salad. .. no lettuce! Lamb chops grilled to perfection with flavor beyond belief. The owner was friendly and inviting, excellent service. Would definitely return. If you like great Greek fare, this is the place for you!

I was enticed by the great reviews only to be somewhat disappointed, as the promise just didn’t quite get fulfilled. I ordered the baby ribs and prawn skewer special– Yes the portions were as stated in other reviews– huge! The base flavour was fairly good but lacking in depth and enough seasoning. The texture of the ribs was actually very good, just really lacking any delicious taste you look for in a rib well done. The prawns were not seasoned ATALL. Even the potato and rice lacked salt. The coffee was ‘meh’- fresh but boring and bland. It was fun to have the typical family owned Greek restaurant décor. The tacky home made paintings of Greek goddesses and familiar scenic landscapes are so obligatory I don’t know if I’d trust a place without them. Service was nice.

Some of the finest prepared Greek food I have ever eaten. Authentic Greek cooking is to be found here. The lamb souvlaki was buttery tender, nicely rare and all the accompanying vegetables and other generous assortments on the platter were perfectly presented and prepared. What incredible lemon potatoes!!! The Greek salad was nicely crisped and dressed with a very tasty, but mildly flavourful vinaigrette — wonderful. We were on an extended road trip and our long drive was rewarded with a delicious meal at Minos. Excellent service. I enjoyed a fine glass of Mavro Daphne, too. We’ll be back!

We had some trouble deciding where to eat on the way back from a week in Banff. We picked Minos on a whim and were not disappointed. Great food, excellent and friendly service! Highly recommended

When I asked for Greek food recommendations, everyone I spoke with directed me to Minos. I’m pleased to report that the reports were true. Seriously delicious food, great atmosphere, and attentive service. Solid five stars. On first glance, Minos is super cute. They really nailed the«Greek family establishment» look they were going for. I loved the cloud effect on the ceilings and all of the art covering the walls. The menu here is simple but fully covers everything you’d expect from a traditional Greek restaurant. I ended up going with the spanakopita dinner while the rest of my party enjoyed chicken souvlaki and dolmathes(grape leaves stuffed with rice/ground beef). All of the meals come with sides of rice, potatoes, and Greek salad which was more than enough to fill us up(and then some!) As for the service, our server was funny, attentive, and helpful. He was happy to recommend the right wine to pair with our meals and humoured all of my father’s terrible puns. What more can you ask for? The only fault I could find? Not many vegetarian options beyond the spanakopita. Luckily it’s one of my favourite dishes but a veggie who doesn’t like spinach would be out of luck.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. Minos is my absolute favourite spot to eat in the world. The lamb roast is my automatic choice on the menu. It’s slow roasted to perfect, flaking off the bone with each pierce of a fork. There’s no need for a knife when a lamb roast is done like this. Each plate is served with a lemon roasted potato, buttery rice and a mound of Greek salad. Try a bottle of the Retsina with dinner, you won’t regret it. And make friends with George. You’ll never have a bad night at Minos.

Meh. It’s always just ok, and I wouldn’t go too far out of my way to eat here. I’ve been several times over the years(mostly for family dinners or social functions). The food is ok, and the service is good, but gigantic portions can’t make up for the lack of quality. Very typical Greek menu, with very typical greek food. Not awful, but not great.

Best Greek food we’ve had in some time. We both had Moussaka, which was delicious and then the owner insisted on buying us a baklava. Boy, we’re we stuffed! Highly recommended if you like authentic Greek food.

Amazing food. Chicken souvlaki was moist and tender. Portions were large and flavourful. Great clean well cared for place. Owner was welcoming and enjoyed chatting with the customers. I will be returning when I’m in town again! Thanks Unilocal

So Authentic is right when you talk about MINOS! Greek at its best id say. Now my bf sister is married to a greek man and his mother can cook some damn good greek food. This was second best ive had(cause there isnt anything better then mamas home cooking…) and you for sure get what you pay for. Now my grandfather has been going there for more years then ive been alive so he was greeted like family and we were treated well when we were there. Our server was very patient with the lot of us and very nice. The portion sizes are OUTOFCONTROL… i literally only ate 1⁄3 of my plate as did the rest of my family(except grandpa cause he is used to eating at there place and he cant just eat lol) You for sure get what you pay for. I attempted to eat a rack of ribs that was waaaay bigger then i thought it was going to be, literally hanging off my plate. When our food came we were all so suprised cause you dont get portions like this back home. You must get«all the trimmings» its salad, potatoes and rice with our main dish(most come with) it was just inreal how much food we got. My bf got slow cooked lamb, so succulent, so delish, so goddamn good! Every bite was filling and i would love to go back any day! The place is not the biggest restaurant, or even roomy for that matter, but it sure is good and worth the squeeze lol
