Context.
This is one two locations (the other in the West Island).
This place appears to be clean & organized.
When you walk in I was greeted by multiple black flies buzzing around & throughout the time not one staff member made any noticeable effort to rid the establishment of these unwanted guests.
Staff were friendly & helpful.
Cooking is open kitchen style & immediately on your left at the street windows when you walk in.
Atmosphere is typical old style Greek restaurant decor & not a place one would think to get all dressed up for - but you can.
Food seemed fresh.
Green house salad.
Simple house dressing, chopped lettuce & a few shreds of carrot. $10.00. Rip off. Nothing more to say as a salad it was nearly useless & non competitive with the marketplace.
Tzatziki
Runny, lacked flavour & overall was not worth consuming. Small portion $3.50 *without any bread or pita included.
Grille while chicken.
Completely lacked flavour.
Way overcooked.
White meat was dry.
Seasoning was so poor that even adding the typical spritz of lemon didn't make much of a difference. I could have been eating this chicken at any type of (cuisine) restaurant.
Roasted potatoes.
We were told that there was to be seasoning of a typical Greek style with fresh lemon S & P garlic, perhaps some herbs like oregano etc.
Potatoes were lacking flavour & even with salt added & dab of pepper it was just bland.
The potatoes lacked much texture as most Greek style roasted potatoes have some browning on the exterior creating a much more enjoyable texture & as well flavour. These potatoes were not treated with love, the were cut up & tossed on a pan with some ingredients & shuffled about & placed in the over & left to cook. I care & you can easily taste it & see the result as well as they looked greyish & with one potato with a large blemish. This is not Yaya's cooking at all.
Bottom line from a food perspective alone, not worth the time, the stomach space nor the high price for food I can easily cook superior chez moi. You go to a restaurant to eat joy food & hope it's at least as good as what you can make yourself. It's a let down when it's not even as good as you yourself can make it. This place has been around for a while & I don't understand how & why unless they have reduced their attention to quality & detail but this is not a repeat restaurant to visit. If they can't make the basics well, how can I believe that can cook the more complex dishes such as seafood & fish as well as lamb to perfection let alone my own standard.
No.
Not again & no I will not refer this restaurant as it's a waste given the completion. I mean, go to Yia Sou Greek Grill on queen Mary road & see what these dishes are & you'll see what I mean it's like light & day.

Very nice restaurant. Our server was amazing, he suggested the Saturday lamb plate & it was fantastic. I would definitely go back.
Great food at affordable prices, & big portions.
Always amazing. Delicious & served with a smile. We ordered the calamari plate with the pork souvlaki platter. Both amazing. Salad dressing was also very tasty. Iconic neighborhood restaurant that's been around for years for a reason.
Nous sommes allés manger au restaurant Panama pour célébrer les 70 ans de mon père, & nous sommes tombés sous le charme de tout.
Premièrement, la serveuse - qui est la fille du propriétaire - était d'une authenticité & d'une gentillesse incroyables. Malgré le restaurant bondé, elle prenait le temps de discuter avec nous. Elle nous a très bien conseillés sur le menu, avec humour & beaucoup de convivialité.
Tout le monde a vraiment apprécié la nourriture, qui était superbement bien exécutée. Nous nous sommes sentis comme en famille chez les propriétaires.
Being from out of town, it was strange to be charged things like an upgrade fee for a Greek salad given that we were in a Greek restaurant. & pita as well. I am accustom to these items being part of, & included in the price point of the meal or dish ordered. However, everything was great, & I will reiterate that both the staff & food were absolutely great. Thanks for a great experience.
My go-to Greek spot for late-night Uber Eats! The food always arrives warm & well-packaged. I just wish the portions were a bit more generous - but that's only because it's seriously that good 👍🏼.
Friendly staff. Food was great. Good spot for big or small groups. I had the grilled shrimp platter & everything was cooked to perfection. Others in my group had the pork & chicken skewers & the meats were very tender & flavourful. Highly recommend

The eggplant & zucchini pile with tzatziki is just phenomenal. The actual souvlaki could use a little TLC, more meat & less fatty pieces of pork for my liking - but overall it's a favourite Greek spot in the city. Always enjoy it.
Fantastic food, some of the best Greek food in the city. Amazing service, Dennis, Leo & Andreas always make us feel at home! Would 10000% recommend this spot, we often go out of our way just to enjoy it. Calamari is top notch, so are the zucchini chips & loukaniko. If you love greek food you need to try it!
