Probably one of my faves on Ossington! There’s alot of stand out items on the menu and it’s hard to choose at first, but everyone is sure to find a fave!You won’t go wrong with ANY if the house dips and pita, it’s an absolute must. Aside from that, their lamb is absolutely delicious as well as the spanakopita!

If you're looking for a bit of a higher end Greek meal in the heart of Ossington, this is the perfect place! Very nice atmosphere and delicious and beautiful dishes...

Cozy interior, delicious food from salad to main course. Great service and friendly staff but I would say it is pricey.Lamb chops is really great, try fries with feta aioli if you like feta. Salad is also really nice. The air conditioning system could use some help though.

One of the most delicious Greek restaurants in Toronto! Spanakopita was spot on along with the rest of the dishes that we tried. They had nice wines and cocktails as well and the service was great! Will definitely be back to try the famous lamb dish!

Great vibe and ambiance. We enjoyed the eggplant dip and fresh Pita and the lambchops were absolutely fantastic. We tried the snapper and whole the presentation was nice, the fish itself lacked flavour, we were appreciative of the capers - definitely a letdown for the $90 pricepoint. Our server was not interested and we were surprised given the reviews. Glad we tried it out, but not sure we would come back.

Very dissatisfied with the service and food portion. Server said it was shareable and recommended 3 items to get. So we did. We also ordered the 68 dollar fish that my friend couldn’t eat because it lacked flavour. That green dish tasted spoiled. The octopus was so small but tasted fine. The waitress was quiet and unapologetic when asked how we were liking the food. Her face said it all.

Really solid Greek food. The food was delicious but nothing jumped out that would blow your mind.We ordered the classics: Greek salad, beef balls, lamb chops and the octopus. The lamb chops were the absolute high light. Tender, Smokey, with the right amount of spices.I would give it 4.5 out of 5 bc of the ambiance and services - they were good but didn’t match the hype and the price.We were there for a birthday celebration but nothing really happened from them to help us celebrate, which was a little disappointing.

Absolutely delicious food. Came here for brunch and their menu was very well laid out and self explanatory. Ordered their prix fixe menu which came with a generous amount of food. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for their fresh food and nice ambiance.

Overall it was great minus one tiny tiny thing we did not order, getting gaslit by the manager. Let me explain.We thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the bar, chatting with staff who were very attentive and churning out awesome drinks the whole time. We started off with the house dips, you cannot go wrong with any but we always get taramosalata - this alone makes it worth checking out. The pita is pillowy soft and the perfect vessel for these dips. You will crave it every second of every subsequent day I guarantee you.We then enjoyed the Froutosalata (strawberry and peach salad) and octopus before we got the lamb neck and mussels pasta. Mussels in pasta isn’t anything special and not unique as an offering to a restaurant but at the care they put in their other dishes we wanted to try it. Famous last words.The mussels were very very VERY fishy. Maybe the first bites were off? But then we tried 2-3 more and it was not consumable. There was a gut feeling that something was wrong if you catch my drift. All good, the restaurant was super busy and sometimes these things happen and everything else was great so no harm, no foul. We just didn’t eat it and enjoyed the lamb neck. Our server asked if we wanted to pack the pasta which we politely declined and I mentioned it was quite fishy but that it was fine we loved everything else. She kindly and apologetically said since we didn’t like it that they would take it off our bill. I thought that was such a kind and honestly unnecessary gesture we were fine just not eating it and paying for it. But THIS is where it goes south. The manager comes by to “check in” on us and mentions in a demeaning way she heard about the pasta and that the chef said it’s a seafood-forward pasta and sometimes that’s not for anyone. Then walks away. Ok…?Ma’am, more than half my diet is seafood. Seafood is the food of my people. This tasted absolutely foul. FOUL. Seafood-forward? As in projectile vomit it forward? I would pay her to eat that entire dish in front of me and not break eye contact and tell me that’s what she takes pride in serving to patrons. It’s just bizarre because the situation was already handled gracefully by our server.In any case, we still had dessert, the baklava cheesecake. Incredible. It almost made us forget how condescending that manager was. *Almost*.We’ll return to mamakas but maybe just do takeout for the dips and dessert.
