Greek Gourmet

The Greek Gourmet has closed. A new BBQ joint is coming soon and we in the neighbourhood are hoping for its success.

This place is always empty or near empty every time I walk by and it’s for a reason. I’ve ordered takeout pork souvlaki dinners several times just due to limited take out options in the area. I’d rank this lower than mall food court quality Greek food and the last time I got take out there, got an upset stomach, so haven’t been back since. By the way, take out is all you would want to do here, as there is no ambiance, and the décor feels like the 1970s.

I am honoured to be the first to review this place.
This has been one of my favourite haunts for many a year. There are a couple of notable things: The Tzatziki is brilliant! garlicky, lemony, tangy deliciousness. The best way to order is to get a sandwich and split a large greek salad with whoever you’re with, as I prefer the salad to rice and potatoes. The greek salad can be a bit inconsistent, but when it is on, oh baby, it is ON. Piquant, bursting with really good feta (I am more than a bit of a feta-​snob), and just perfect. For the record, when it’s not at its best, it is still quite good.
Try the gyros on a pita, or lamb on a bun. Definitely avoid the non-​greek dishes, like falafel and hamburger. They also have really excellent chunky fries, however if choosing between fries and salad, I always go salad.
