Greek Souvlaki and gyros counter sits on Queen St W in Downtown Toronto, where the streetscape still favours casual ethnic dining over polished concepts.
The kitchen specializes in Char-grilled Souvlaki, marinated meat cooked over open flame and served on pita with tomato, onion Tzatziki, a preparation that distinguishes it from the gyros-heavy Greek spots elsewhere in the city. The menu draws from the full Greek canon, both Souvlaki (meat cooked on skewers) and gyros (vertical spit-roasted meat), serving the Downtown neighbourhood's Greek diaspora and the weekday lunch crowd on Queen. Souvlaki, the kitchen's primary offering, arrives with visible Char from the grill, the calling card of meat-forward Greek cooking done right.
Try the chicken souvlaki dinner, pork souvlaki dinner, gyros dinner, fish dinner, falafel dinner.
