Was deeply craving authenticity greek, Sadly Ottawa is limited on having the real deal…. I was skeptical to try the location but because it is family owned, I had to give it a shot.
Not only was the gentleman at the cash super friendly and knowledgeable he made suggestions and let me know what was made in house and what was not. I got a chicken slouvaki combo, domas, spanakopita’s, and calamari…
I was pleasantly surprised they make the potatoes authentically. You can taste the chicken broth and lemon they were cooked in🍋 😋 the meat was tender and flavorful as well as the rice well cooked, and not overly cooked which often can be the case with rice being cooked in large batches. I was particularly surprised by the domas that were tightly wrapped with fresh mixture inside. Often places will serve domas that are mush and flavorless like the canned options available in the store…this were not it.

I definately will be back to this location, and recommending to friends. Highly recommend this location for your greek cravings = no regrets
