We ate there last night, but unfortunately it wasn't up to spec. My companion ordered the chicken brochette plate & I ordered a gyro with salad & fries.
First the positive things:
It looks like tables have returned to the dining room, which would be nice on a rainy day. If you haven't been here, most of the service is takeout & delivery, or dining on the large terrasse when the weather is good.
The server was friendly & helpful & we received our meals quickly. The restaurant was bright & clean as always.
But,
The chicken brochette plate had overcooked, soggy rice, & the potato wedges were quartered, making them overly large. They appeared overcooked & my friend said that there wasn't much lemon seasoning on them. He said that the brochette, along with the rest of the grilled items, were warm, not hot, even though they were served quickly.
I can understand why food might be warm when it's takeaway, like Uber, but not when it's dine-in.
The tomatoes in my gyro were oversized slices, not wedges, but I was able to eat them with a knife & fork along with my salad. The chicken was somehow overcooked, yet not hot, at the same time, & was under seasoned. Parts of it tasted like it hadn't been carved correctly, with tough bits left in, then grilled.
The overall effect was of things that had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while, bland & overdone.
Being someone who would never send food back to the kitchen & doesn't want to make a fuss during dinner rush, I hesitated about writing a bad review.
I'm probably not their most frequent customer, but I didn't recognize anyone there last night. Are they under new ownership? If so, there are big shoes to fill, because it's a neighbourhood institution, but I really hope they can fix the quality issues, because I love this place & want it to succeed.
I ordered rice platter with lamb. The meat was just perfect! Juicy & tender! & the price was good compared to the amount of food.
The manager was very friendly & because it was our first time, they offered dessert for free & also a salad with discount.
Girl without exaggeration this is the best EVER Caesar salad I've eaten in my life. If you are a Caesar salad person, GO HERE. Cheap, & SO good. Plus the people who work here are like angels soooo a win is a win.
Soo gooood! I got the gyro & wooow ! I'm still thinking about it the next day lol the pita is soo fresh & so was the salad! We ubered it but I'll definitely be going back
SOUVLAKI GEORGE = NEXT-LEVEL AWESOME!
We rolled into town for a hockey tournament & needed to feed our hungry squad of 60. Enter: Souvlaki George. & let me tell you-this place DELIVERED.
🥅🥙🔥
We hit up Adrian with less than 24 hours' notice (yeah, we're those people), & he handled it like an absolute pro.
Fast replies, great recommendations, no panic-just calm, cool, & catering genius.
📞🧠💼
& then… the food arrived.
GAME. OVER.
Every dish was chef's kiss perfection.
Authentic. Homemade. Full of flavour & love.
🍢🍋❤?
The meats were juicy.
The salads were fresh.
The rice? Fluffy heaven.
Even the picky eaters went back for seconds (& thirds).
🥗🍖😋
Not your typical takeout vibes-this was real, honest Greek cooking that felt like a warm hug from Yiayia herself.
Tradition + passion in every bite.
🇬🇷🔥
Huge shoutout to Adrian & the awesome team for saving the day & making it feel effortless.
We're already plotting our return just to visit the restaurant in person.
🛻💨🍴
Souvlaki George, you've officially earned 60 new fans for life.
Respect. Gratitude. & see you soon!

We have been going to Georges for many years. In the summer we sit outside, but when weather is not great we pickup. The food is always fresh (you can tell by the salad quality), & always delicious, The staff is always helpful. We started going there when George was still running it with his children & wife. Now the children have taken over & they are continuing in the same tradition. I always have Veggie Pita, its stuffed & "juicy". Their tzatziki is far & away my all time favorite. When we think of pick up, Georges is the first place we go. Lewis & Rose
