UPDATE: It says people are given free drinks in other reviews so they don’t have time to clean the black mould &debris on the floor & inside/outside cooler,accumulated grease on ventilation system, no cleaning schedule available, grease & dust many places, dry storage area dirty. Food seized/destroyed Dec/2024 by inspectors. Yummy! DRINK UP! enjoy ….(** You can read it at Alberta Health inspections& most were repeat violations.)
This was the worst experience of our life after having eaten there since they were on 14 St downtown. This time was gross. I have attached photos that should say it all: there was very little meat on the lamb, it was mostly all gristle and bone, and they served it with hummus, which tasted like vinegar,not szatziki. They said it was mustard sauce which was not stated on the menu . Greek salad was not fresh at all, mine would be like that after a day or two in the fridge. It was cut like a horse was eating it . Moussaka had two pieces of dried up zucchini, one piece of eggplant and two pieces of potato and a bunch of hamburger that looked like it was fried in a pan with no spices. Where is the garlic and the Mediterranean spices?
The topping was dried up and disgusting , leathery. . It seemed really old . We phoned to let them know, and they said it was our fault because we must not have eaten it right away which we did (we were hungry)& kept blaming us for the gross food that we could not even eat this time. They said they stand behind their food and they use lamb shoulder which has a lot of fat well maybe they should use lamb shank which is what other Greek restaurants use for roast lamb. Let’s see if they also stand behind these pictures proving this gross food, I think they would be ashamed of this in Greece!

Service was good, atmosphere was fine (we chose to sit on the patio as it was a nice evening but also because there was a large noisy table in the main dining area plus we weren’t interested seeing in the belly dancing performer), food was underwhelming for the price, dinnerware was disgraceful and should not be used in food service (major cracks in the glaze).

It was just wow. Amazing food, fresh and tasty. Great service. The lady last night was absolutely amazing . Super attentive and helpful with the choices. And atmosphere felt like home. Everything was great I have absolutely no suggestions. Would come again and recommend.

Beautiful restaurant and great experience. The appetizers are top notch here and we thoroughly enjoyed the Saganaki, Calamari, Dolmades, and Spanakopita. The Calamari was super tender, salty, and had great tatziki.
Then we mostly had the lamb dishes (roasted shoulder, grilled leg, and Souvlaki). All delicious, but the roasted shoulder is the way to go, as it is so tender. Also tried the Moussaka and the Giovetsi which were very tasty and quite unique.
Staff were very friendly, the wine was prices were fair, and the decor was really cute and comfortable.

It's a great spot with a nice casual atmosphere and very authentic and tasty Greek food. The owner has been doing this for years and often comes out to sit with the regulars. The Kleftiko is their best dish with a delicious shoulder of lamb that is cooked to perfection. Great selection of appetizers as well. Lots of options for vegetarian and gluten free. Highly recommend for Greek in Calgary

Absolutely delicious. Everything we tried tasted great, and all of it together was a delicious meal. The food was hot, the wine was delightful, and we made room for the dessert. The service was warm, friendly, and exactly what you would look for in a family restaurant where you just feel welcome. Will enthusiastically go back.

We ordered our food through Ubereats. The food was an hour late, but the worst part is not even that. Please see photos - food leaked everywhere, salad is missing, the food got here cold, the portion size is ridiculously small for the price, and it doesn't taste good at all after reheating. Needless to say, I am cooking instant noodles as I type out this review.
