A Greek Souvlaki and gyros counter operating in the straightforward taverna style grilled chicken and pork skewers as the core offering.
Esquire has anchored this corner of Queen West, running a full dinner format with sides of rice, potatoes, or fries, alongside pita and bun wraps that serve the walk-in lunch crowd. The menu reads like a working neighbourhood grill: Souvlaki dinners in three proteins, gyros, a small roster of burgers a token fish option daily specials that rotate through the year. The pork Souvlaki on a pita, built Greek-style with lemon sauce, Tzatziki, onions tomatoes, anchors the counter's reputation as a reliable lunch destination.
