Mr. Greek Express

I went there on Friday because Jimmy the Greek at Sheppard Centre was closed. I have to say going there was a big mistake. Jimmy the Greek makes so much better food with cheap prices. I love Jimmy the Greek’s roast chicken dinner, but it seems Mr. Greek Express didn’t have anything like that, so I ordered some chicken breast, which was under their chef specialties category. The girl asked me if I wanted 1 piece chicken breast or 2, I said 1. When the «chef» put the chicken breast on the grill, I was like «that small»?! The price for the meal was like 12.95 or something plus tax, so I expected more than that small piece. Anyways it took them like 10 mins to make a express meal like that. The veggies in the meal had no taste, the rice was too salty, the chicken was just chicken, nothing special about it. I was charged over $ 16 for that meal and a bottle of vitamin water. Oh btw the staff wasn’t nice, especially there was an Indian looking guy, it seemed like he hated me or something. I would never go back!

Had a quick dinner here earlier tonight, I had the traditional gyro pita with beef and lamb. Even though this is an express place, it still took a while for the food to come out. They even serve it to you too if you plan to dine in.
The pita was good but seemed like they just slapped on all the ingredients in.

I have tried chicken skewer a couple of days back. Ot was under cooked and the chicken was very think and hard to chew. It was like chewing celery. It was a very bad experience.

The food is ok but what a rip off for express food… you are not even sitting at a restaurant ordering off a menu.
I ordered the classic chicken skewer… but I wanted only salad (no rice or potatoes).
It costs $ 14.95 so I could not understand why it rung up as $ 18.88. When I asked why so expensive they said they charge for extra salad when you don’t want rice or potatoe. This is ridiculous and he should have told me when I placed the order. I found the cashier unfriendly and I walked out.
No way am I spending my hard earned money at a place that charges for substituting a salad for a side dish… and especially at an express dining place.

This is my first ever review on Unilocal and it was sadly propelled by the poor quality of food at this restaurant. My mom & I stopped in for a quick meal on the patio and both ordered chicken greek salads. Her chicken was undercooked and both of our salads consisted of brown lettuce, rotten cucumbers and lack of tzatziki sauce. This is the first time I’ve experienced having to pay extra for tzatziki on my salad AT A GREEK RESTAURANT. Our waiter thankfully replaced her salad & gave her a chicken skewer (not the same as a full chicken breast, which originally came with the order, but nonetheless better than nothing.) no apology was offered. We will never be returning.

Why is zero stars not an option?
The precooked chicken and to the overall poor food quality makes this place a easy choice never to visit again. There are plenty of decent mediterranean restaurants so why go to this dated, quality lacking establishment.

The entrees cost more on the delivery menu. Guess they just bake in delivery cost? Either way still very affordable and the pork sticks are delicious! SO juicy.

Good food, okay place and good staff
The food was great and the staff were nice no complaints but it just didn’t feel like it deserved 5 stars

Been here twice, place so far is consistent.
Liked the chicken and rice. Salad was fresh. Good filling meal.
Would come again.

A great place to get good Greek food! You don’t find many Greek restaurants in this area, let along a GOOD Greek restaurant!
The plates are generous and full. Great value meals!
The service is nice, the ambiance is nice (Greek music inside /​nice patio right on Yonge street)!
The only drawback is that they take a little bit of time to get you the food (take out or dine in).

$ 10 for a big plate of food (gyros, fries, greek salad, tskiki tziki creamy greek yogurt/​cucumber sauce, and pita). It comes out quick.
Not many places in North York for a quick Greek fix. I can’t say Mr. Greek Express will satisfy you 100%. The gryos was a bit dry. The tskiki tziki creamy greek yogurt/​cucumber sauce needed a bit more zip. The fries, however, first rate. And it’s pretty hard to mess up a Greek salad. Nice patio for a quick after movie meal.
Use the counter to order take out. Table service available for dining in.

I decided to stop in here rather than my usual take-​out stop, The Friendly Greek, because of the word Express in its name. It wasn’t really the express, more like the milk run. Very friendly service, nice, clean restaurant, and a patio right on Yonge, but I waited more than 20 minutes for a pork souvlaki dinner and a Greek salad with a chicken breast ($ 25). The food was decent though unexceptional. I’ll try it again, when I have a little more time. Did I say the people were nice?
