Athens Restaurant

Everything was great! I love the intimacy of this restaurant and how fast the food is delivered and the amazing quality! The chicken souvlaki was so moist, potatoes my fav. Rice was great and flavourful. Spreads were amazing. I can’t believe how full we were so fast

Probably one of my favourite restaurants on the Danforth. Food is always amazing and I never leave disappointed. Prices are reasonable and portions are big. Highly recommend

First time I tried moussaka and I'm sure it is among the best on the Danforth. It tasted just as good as it looks. Never had tomatoes that good before.

The Christmas decorations and music were perfect choices. I stayed a few min after my meal to take it in before I left. Perfect spot for a date!

Great food and atmosphere. Ordered a large part of their menu to share with a group of people. Food was great. Service can be improved.

I stopped in for a traditional Greek avgolemono soup and was very happy with the wonderful taste and quantity. The tables were somewhat crowded and do not give you must room. The distance between my table for two with the next was less than 12". Overall, excellent food and service. Could do with removing a few tables.

Great Greek restaurant. We enjoyed every dish served and are planning to return. Bon apetit.

The only Greek restaurant that should exist in Toronto. If it’s not from Athens I don’t want it! For real, Athens is the best, staff is great, food is great what more could you want?

This place is on our top of the list. We come here a lot. It is so good that I always forget to take pictures

New found Greek Gem! I recently discovered this place a few months ago from a recommendation of a friend. Turns out this restaurant has been around for 30 years or more and is by the far the best Greek restaurant I've been to in a long time.

Inside you really get the feeling of being in Greece, and the the owner and wait staff are all authentic Greeks who serve your standard and traditional Greek dishes you may have never seen before.

I will mention that the restaurant is not very large inside and has limited seating, but is well worth the wait. If you plan on going try to call ahead and book a reservation as it does get busy.

First and foremost the food was delicious. We were there with a party of 19 for an engagement gathering for a wonderful young couple named Troy and Alex, and we tried several different appetizers which were amazing, especially the grilled octopus which was mouth watering, but we also had several other appetizers where you could use them as a spreads and put them on grilled pitas or bread which they brought out and what stood out for me in particular was the "Kafteri" or spicy cheese in English, was delicious. For dinner I had the homemade moussaka which was also delicious, but it's unfortunate that it doesn't come with any sides no potatoes no salad none of that, you get just a mousaka and that's it which is rare, I've never seen that before in a restaurant they usually give you a couple of sides with it like potatoes and salad for example. I also tried my wife 's pork souvlaki on a pita and that was delicious too, I like the fact that they don't overcook the pork like almost every other Greek restaurant does because it dries it out and it tastes horrible when they do that but these guys did not, it was done just right and it was moist and tender. Now having said all that it's very expensive. I don't justify the pricing for the amount of food that they give you. Like the mousaka for $25 was not in line with pricing in other restaurants which also include a couple of sides with your meal. Also the octopus was $30 and it was only one octopus leg and other places give you two to three octopus legs. So if you're looking to go there on a budget it's not the place to go. But if budget is not an issue then the food is very tasty go for it, and it's the only reason I didn't give it five stars because they lacked quantity. The service was good I'm not going to complain about that, the food came out in a decent amount of time and the place has been there since 1975 so they're doing something right. Will I go back again? Well, having been through Danforth where this restaurant is located hundreds of times over the past 5 decades I never even knew about them because it's hidden just east of Pape on the south side of Danforth and the sign is pretty small and hard to read so it's easily missed. But, I did like the food and yes I will be returning another time for sure.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Owner treated my friend and I to shots. Every person there was having the best time. Food was phenomenal, just out of this world, especially the fried Calamari. Atmosphere was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant in this city. What more is there to say? This is a world class restaurant. My biggest thanks and praise, felt like I got to go to Greece for a couple hours. Will be back with lots more friends!

Amazing greek food in Toronto hands down! Starting from the different spreads to the souvlaki and finally the lamb chops!

Great traditional Greek restaurant. Food was excellent. Lots of different options especially if looking to try traditional Greek dishes but there are also common dishes as well. Service was great and friendly, definitely recommend.

Made a reservation and showed up early but restaurant was packed and waited 30 mins standing next to the coat rack. Restaurant did not offer any complimentary drinks or food as an apology. The food and service was not bad but the overall experience was terrible.

If you're looking for that ultimate Greek authentic experience, put this place on your list of places you must eat, George and his friendly staff are efficient and customer service oriented. 6 out of 5, you guys definitely over exceeded my expectations!
OPA!

10/10 greek food in Toronto! If you are looking for authentic, great-tasting greek food - this is the place to go!

Excellent food, service & atmosphere. Arguably 1 of the best Greek meals I’ve had in Toronto. There deserts are fantastic as well. It’s a smaller restaurant, so I would recommend to make reservations prior to going in especially if you are a bigger group.

As authentic as it gets! The food is beyond excellent especially if you order from the traditional dishes menu. I definitely recommend trying as many as possible.

The village lamb is a stand-out but you cant go wrong with the octopus and the Saganaki. The place is very homie and warm perfect for a group dinner!
