MILOS GREEK RESTAURANT

This place has potential. The location is nice. The food isn’t. I believe that if a few changes are made, there be a lot of happy customers and a lot more business here. I really hope that the owner Can read this review and make some small adjustments, and get this restaurant really well. I see how hard the employers work, and our server was such a nice lady. Unfortunately the food was terrible, the worst I’ve had.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- serve a high-quality bread, like sourdough bread, it should be nice and warm. Perhaps paying a few extra dollars, to make some good bread at the back. You may serve olive oil with vinaigrette, instead of slathering it with very cheap oil in a cheap hamburger bread, that becomes, very soggy. First impression is important, and if you bring a poor bread like you did we are already turned off from this restaurant.

- The vegetables that came with the dishes, very apparent that they were frozen. Like the ones you get from the grocery shop. My suggestion is that you pick a few vegetables that are fresh, and you cook them, instead of getting frozen vegetables.

- You may reduce your items on the menu, but every item you have should be high-quality. The dish my mother received was cold, uncooked, Terrible feedback about the chicken. And my dish I reserved which was cheese pie, was very poor quality.

I highly suggest that you get another creative chef that can help create a powerful menu and also offer suggestions about how to make it really good and tasty. I think that this restaurant needs a consult with a high chef to really improve the menu. I would be happy to come out and support in anyway (even though I’m not a chef, I see where improvements can be made).

- you want to make sure that the spinach pie and the cheese pie are gourmet style. The one I received again was soggy, and not tasty at all, actually it looked like it was very cheap.

To be very honest the quality of this restaurant is one of fast food. There is a poor quality of the overall foods and the way it is prepared. When I come to this restaurant I do not see high quality of food preparation, or thoughtfulness of preparation, and also skill set in how the food is prepared. It looks like there is actually just a rush to put out some kind of food that is made quite quickly and easily without any thoughtfulness or preparation. And we are paying a lot for each item like $20 or more.

Overall this restaurant needs a menu lift, and a whole different energy of the food.

I really hope improvements can be made. It’s not that hard. Invest some time in money, and you’ll have many more customers that are happy.

I recently had a shocking experience at this restaurant. I arrived to pick up my order and was appalled to find that a tray of potatoes and a tray of salad each cost $80 plus tax. It was my mistake for not inquiring earlier, but I never imagined the prices could be so exorbitant. When I questioned the owner, they explained that prices had surged. I realized I could have purchased four (4) 50-pound bags of potatoes for the same cost as one tray. The same applied to the salad. This blatant overpricing has left me disheartened, and I won't be ordering from this place again. It's disconcerting to see a once highly-regarded establishment succumb to such practices, especially when the interior hasn't seen an update in two decades. A disappointing experience overall.

This place is awesome! Generous portions. Great service and so reasonably priced 3 people left stuffed for 54 bucks.

The worst experience ever. Tried to talk to the owner and he was not interested in talking. What a joke food is lousy cold. Would give them minus stars if i could stay away.

Food is always fresh and delicious, and very generous. Service is attentive. Price is very reasonable.

We went to Milos yesterday with my family. 45min to get our food, restaurant was empty. When I told the waiter we are ready to order, he flashed menus in his hand and said, I cant take an order and walked away and gave me a dirty.look. They Forgot to give us a side order, waiter never once came to check up on us. I had to go and flag him down for the cheque. Food had no taste. The real thing that grinded my gears was that, myself and my wife ordered a large meal, and it was the same size as my moms meal which was a small. When my wife asked are you sure this is a large, he said yes, your chickens pieces were bigger, but that dose not justify a $4 difference in price. For an empty restaurant with no more then 4 tables occupied I would say this was one of my worst experiences at a Greek restaurant. I hope they take this review seriously, becasue this is not how you treat customers, coming from someone who has 10 years plus in customer services.

Holy smokes this was a dining experience. We sit down expecting some delicious Greek food and decided to order a platter for 2. We get our waters and there is a fly inside one of the glasses. Okay no big deal we ask for a bed one. The salad and bread comes afterwards. Normally there is olive oil and vinaigrette on the side but not this time. The “pita bread” is cut up hot dog buns with margarine. Red flag right there. The food comes but it’s only meat. They forgot our potato’s and rice. So we ask if there is any after a few minutes and they bring it out. It’s Heinz bean sauce in the rice and potatoes. At this point I find it hilarious. Then I eat the meat and hoping it will be the star of the show. Spoiler… it wasn’t. It was very dry for some of it and undercooked for the other. There was a lack of flavour so I poured hot sauce and salt to try and salvage it. This may have been the first time I not only didn’t finish my plate but I also didn’t want to take it to go. I’m not trying to be rude I any way, I just am stating what I saw. Hope it changes for the better

Pork overcooked, change $ 4.00 for delivery then driver wants tip forget it won’t order from them again

I thought that the restaurant looked nice from the outside and decided to give it a try. The decor inside is also reminiscent of ancient Greece, which I thought was cute, and the servers were very friendly. While the portion sizes are large, especially for the price, the quality and flavour of the food is not the best. The salad was mostly lettuce and the feta cheese looked shredded, like you can buy in a bag at the grocery store, and the garlic bread was just hot dog buns drenched in butter. Overall, the food was underwhelming, but I'm glad I gave this place a try!

Went here for my brother's birthday in May and was not satisfied with the quality of food. Service was mediocre.

Have been going here for years and the food normally fantastic. Something has changed! The salad dressing is different and not for the better less flavour and their salad was my absolute favorite. The lettuce for the salad was turning brown. The tiziki was runny and less flavourful and different too. The chicken souvlaki was dry, dry, and dry. Rice was over cooked and crunchy.

Overall awful meal. Quite disappointing as it have been a favorite for many years.

First and last time. Service was terrible. Waited an hour for our food and we watched people seated after us get their food first even tho we ordered the same items. When we got the food the chicken tasted fishy, was cold, and dry. Rice and potatoes were mediocre if that. Some of the rice was underdone. Not sure if they are in a management change but over all this is and will be my first time and last time here. Sorry Milo. Not sorry.

First time I've been there. Ours was one of two large parties, with about 15 at each table. Service was good. Prices were reasonable. I had Greek salad chicken souvlaki - pretty standard and that's fine. Garlic bread was tasty and generous.

Got lunch today, February 3rd 2023, for work and it was one of the best lunches we've had in a long time. Food was delicious, service was excellent, prices were extremely reasonable. Really great experience and delicious

Absolutely amazing good and vibes. Food was very fresh. If you are craving for Greek food in Pickering this is the place to go.

What a great family restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service. Definitely would suggest going there if you want really good Greek food.

Meat portions are good, and they are not stingy with their toppings on a wrap or sandwich. But if you place an order from your car and pick it up within 5 minutes, to find that your pork souvlaki is luke warm and tastes dry, it ruins the meal completely. Thankfully the tzatziki made up for the compromise of taste.

It's not difficult to place the pork skewer and pita on the grill for a couple minutes and give the meat a bit of flavour (lemon)

This was clearly pick from the warm tray and wrap up the pita. All in all, the meat didn't taste fresh.

I also recommend removing the toothpick to secure the pita sandwich. Found half of the toothpick missing when I unwrapped my sandwich. I wonder where the other half went.

Awful awful awful. This place has gone downhill. New owners. The past few weeks we have ordered take out and there is always something missing
Tonight our rice was so over cooked and mushy and tasteless. The salad was soggy and rusted lettuce. The fries were hard. The chicken was rubbery.

We will never order from there again. Greek Stop at Dixie rd or Jimmy the Greek from the Mall are much better and more consistent

Been here before, the food is great but I think the place could use a renovation. Decor feels outdated, but that could be just because it’s a family business. So I can’t really complain but it would be great if they did.

Lots of food - feel overall restaurant was out dated and tables were sticky and not cleaned properly. Food was tasty and server was pleasant.

Great food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Very impressed. I can be pretty picky about greek food being Greek and all but this place is doing it right and very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Food and service was great. The restaurant was scourcing hot. 29 degrees outside and 35 inside. They definitely need to put the AC on.

It's a good Greek restaurant. Grear decor and pleasent environment, But I do recommend you don't go in a rush be prepared to wait at least a good half hour to 40 mim for even the salad to arrive. Service is super slow but it's just they don't have a lot of stuff.

Love love their food so much I use to live around the corner and ordered it almost every other day. My husband grew up with the owner so they treat us very well. Recommend

Placed an orders for 8 individual meals to be delivered and the service was perfect. Delivery was within the hour as promised and each meal was labelled (including a gluten free meal) for easy distribution to our guest. And, everyone enjoyed their meal.

Very good place to spend few hours. High quality food and a very good service. Highly recommended restaurant.

Large servings, priced right, delicious flavour and a friendly staff sums up every visit to Milos Greek Restaurant. We have been coming here for years. Come hungry and make sure to order the calamari

The food portions have not changed despite COVID! Great value for money!

It’s been awhile since we’ve gone out to eat and we decided to see how things were here.

We arrived, no issues entering. Good safety protocols. We ordered pork souvlaki and a calamari dinner. Did you see how much calamari was on my plate?

The server is the same. Always friendly and asking if we want more bread. (Yes please!)

We will gladly come eat here anytime if we are in the neighbourhood. Please come support this mom&pop shop too!

Had my baby shower here and the staff and owners were phenomenal! The food was absolutely amazing and such a huge portion my guests were so happy! They were always around to help and always kind and attentive. I’m so happy I decided to have my baby shower here, I had amazing feedback from my guests and had such a great time!

Service at the takeout section is very poor the young ladies have no sense of urgency they spent time making the container and not looking after the meals ordered they should be mindful of customers watching how they handle the food and keeping their hands clean at all times. I observed this behavior waiting for my food while the laughed and waited 10 minutes to start preparing my meal.

Nice quiet and discreet side parking lot perfect for making drug deals apparently night or day doesn't matter!

This might be the final nail on the coffin. It’s vaxpass related. We’re all vaxxed. We’ve got the passports in our iPhones. The hostess took a minute each for both my wife and I.no less than three times she reinspected my license and the passport and then on the fourth inspection we left. Check the id’s but stop being ridiculous. The quality is so meh. The food isn’t good enough for that kind of hassle. We go because it’s close and we like the people. But getting interrogated vs a convenient check was kind of the final straw for Milos charity. We ended up driving into the Danforth.

Oh. My. Gosh- the best Greek food we've eaten in eons! Planned a trip to Ajax shopping just so we could go to Milo's. Gyro dinner with roasted potatoes and rice, authentic tzatziki, yum! Friendly server, fast service, good food, lots of parking.

Mylos Greek Restaurant, recently catered a traditional Orthodox lunch following the passing of a family member. The food was absolutely amazing but more importantly, the service we received from the restaurant, was priceless. We felt like they went over and above to make our day extra special, given the circumstances. Highly Recommended.

Got some take out food here, was not impressed.food wasn't too bad.but the kicker? Toasted hot dog buns, I've never experience this before at a Greek restaurant, you kidding me.well, it's my last time.cheers.

April 30th - First time at this restaurant. I order a chicken greek salad and I got food poisoning.

Disappointing. Had takeout here, will be the only time.
- First Greek place I’ve ever been that gives you a hot dog bun instead of pita
- chicken texture resembled only marginally better than that cheap processed chicken you get from Subway…that spongy chicken texture
- No salad dressing provided

Gyro meat was decent, rice and potatoes were good.

Easy to fix issues. Give pita bread instead of a hot dog bun, serve quality chicken and provide salad dressing.

Ordered take out today after finding out that Mr. Greek no longer make vegetarian souvlaki.lol! Very fast service, not food, good portion. Ordered a vegetarian souvlaki and gyro dinner. Tzaziki didn't taste as I hoped (my fav part of a Greek meal) and potatoes were rather bland. I was told the meat was very good.

I'd come back again to try more from the menu:)

Horrible food quality

Who gives hot dog buns with a chicken souvlaki dinner lol

Embarassing!

I would have given a 5 star.but lately, it happened twice now, that my chicken skewers were not fully cooked.but apart from that I love eating there.

Just meh.
Pre-covid review. Below average Greek food.worse than Mr. Greek.is that even possible? Flavorless rice and roasted potatoes. Greek Salad should be called "wilted iceberg lettuce salad" not, Greek salad. Garlic bread was wet and didn't taste like garlic bread.how does that happen? Hubby said Gyros was dry, overcooked and processed tasting. Don't bother.

Great staff and professional service. Quality food. Very good customer service. Experienced staff. Great work management

Delicious food and friendly wait staff. I recommend the Chicken Greek salad. However you need to order it with a chicken skewer.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT! WE FOUND A USED BANDAID IN THE FOOD ORDER. THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. NOT TO MENTION OVER PAY FOR NECT TO NONE FOOD. BOYCOTT THIS RESTAURANT!

YOUR PHONE IS OFF THE HOOK. Keep calling to place an order, but only get a busy signal. Either this place is way better than 3.9*, or they should start wondering why no one calls.

Last 15 months, I have never been disappointed at this restaurant, I love the old ladies, always super active, humble and their skewers are amazing.its really authentic Greek place and its worth every penny with their authenticity. I love it, and will keep visiting the place.

When i walked in there was an old lady with a rude attitude. Also the meat portion was lacking. I paid 15 dollers for A SKINNNY little skewer of chicken. Majority of the plate was potatos and rice. But i must say it did taste decent.

Delicious and generous portion of main course Lamb was excellent;
Salmon Filet dinner was tender and juicy.

Definitely coming back!

Favourite Greek restaurant. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. They seat you quickly, and bring you bread.

The food portions are great, and taste delicious. Their chicken souvlakki and potatoes are amazing.

They also have a lot of seating indoors. We've used them for dine-in, takeout and catering. We've always been pleased with our orders. They are well priced as well.

I have been to Milos multiple times and always love the food, be prepared for a takeout container because it is always lots of food. But the one thing I would say to try is the baklava, it is probably the best in Pickering.

Food was decent. Went for lunch with work. The wait staff was miserable. They didn't bother to ask if I wanted soup or salad as my choice, gave everyone at the table water except me. The staff didn't take drink orders or offer coffe or dessert afterwards. Won't be going back.

Tasty but garlic bread was like a stale subway bun covered in butter. No garlic! Salad was wet with pink mold throughout. Chicken was dry. Ordered for pickup. Got there in 30 minutes and had to wait another 20 when we got there for the food. We ordered a greek salad w/chicken and a souvlaki meal. Does that take 50 minutes to prepare at a restaurant?

Food was bland, prices good (although maybe that's why prices are good).
They were not busy at all so the service could have been better.

We visited this restaurant in Pickering. The woman who served was very unfriendly. The incident happened towards the end of our dinner, when we noticed a 12 inch hair stuck to the piece of gyro meat. We showed our server and instead of owning an apology, she mumbled and accused us of eating the meat and showing it to her at the end. She did give 50% of the dish but she kept accusing us of eating it too. Inspite of we telling her we only saw it towards the end. The second issue also was she was trying to clear all the dishes at once and in turn she dropped one of the dishes on one of us and soiled our dress. Again no apology. Will never again visit this restaurant.

The food is good and friendly staff. Upon speaking with the server, I was told the food and ingredients are freshly prepared. No chopped lettuce in bulk, or pre-cooked meals. It was tasty and will strongly recommend.

So Delicious! Family run by wonderful caring people! We go here twice a month+ it's to die for! So exciting to see the family as they make you feel so comfortable in their Greek atmosphere Well done guys!

Spacious place! Came for lunch, and it wasn’t that busy on a weekday. Love the food! Esp their bread for appetizer, it tastes sooo good! Definitely helped while waiting for the main food. Would recommend this place if you are in the area! Oh and did you know, you pronounce Gyros as ”yee-ros”? If you didn’t, now you know.

Horrible service and food. My wife went to get our chicken salad from them to take home and when she got home there was zero dressing not in the salad not even on the side the chicken is very rubbery and to top it off she found a hair in it. We used to go once a week for family dinner but we will no longer go to this restaurant. If like us you love Greek food this place is definitely not the place to go to. And when she called in the person that answered was very rude and said tell her to go to hell. Disgusting simply disgusting

Authentic Greek food. Brought me back to the good 'ol days of Toronto on Danforth in the 80s. Great menu, great fresh food. Absolutely loved it!
