My husband and I came here tonight for his birthday dinner with two of our best friends and it was phenomenal! The food was incredibly tasty, the wine was delicious and the service was unparalleled. We had the pleasure of being served by the manager, Minas. He was so great and he joked with us which we loved! Thank you Greek Next Door for the wonderful dinner/night. We can't wait to come back! read more

Food was great-restaurant was empty. Very quiet. We had a chicken souvlaki plate and shred for two-just enough for seniors read more

The service was great but very pushy for us to continue o get more food items. We were just ordering appetizers and sharing them all. We got lamb meatballs with tzatziki sauce We got flaming cheese which was the classic Greek restaurant item Prawns santorinj were delicious ! Dolmades were nice and hot and delicious ! Then we got hot chocolate and baskets to drink because it was so darn cold ! read more

Even if the food wasn't as fantastic as it was I would have given this place five stars. There is a lovely couple from Greece AJ and Athena working the restaurant by themselves. It was very busy and they took exceptional care of every table. They worked so hard to make sure everyone had amazing dining experience. Every single table around us as they laughed mentioned how great of an experience they had. We didn't know exactly what we wanted an AJ recommended the Zeus platter. It was phenomenal. It had everything you could imagine plus more. There was an amazing succulent pork souvlaki, a nice spice grilled sausage, fall off the bone but not mushy in anyway braised ribs, meatballs that were packed full of flavor, Greek rice and possibly the most fresh Greek salad I have ever had. We were treated to a nice table side flaming souvlaki show! Even though we are super stuffed we made room for dessert. We had the vanilla bean gelato and a pistachio cheesecake. We were not disappointed on either front. Come here this place is great. read more

Food was below average. The portions were small, not very flavorful, and pricey. The service was friendly, but awkward (understatement). Made us feel weird throughout our meal. The atmosphere was okay, but with the other factors, the best part of the experience was the authentic music. As for 'gluten free' options, there are a few. However, they were 'gluten friendly' not 'free' and there were not many. They weren't labeled on the menu, so had to ask about each item. If I had to choose, I would visit the Broken Plate in Willow Park over this establishment. Its dynamite!! read more

absolutely love this place. The manager was so extremely polite. He had his wife helping that day and she was very pleasant as well. They both made the experience so great. Now to the food. OMG everything we ordered was so delicious. He recommended the platter and was he ever right it was amazing!!!! We left with left overs as well!!! The dessert was presented so we'll and tasted even better. I'll definitely be back!!! Like tomorrow. Lol read more

Just dined here yesterday evening, quiet upscale atmosphere, food was fabulous! We had the Flaming cheese, OPA!!! The dolmades were delicious and fresh! Lamb Souvlaki was amazing as was the rib plate! Delicious deserts as well! Who can really pass on fresh made Baklava? read more

This place is using the same kitchen as Toscana Grill, Mario has no clue how to make Greek salad or lemon roasted potatoes or lamb shank, humus was terrible, stick to Italian. read more

Decided to give Next Door a try. Glad we did! The tapas came out in a jiff. We ordered: - Caesar Salad - tasted really good - Spanokopita - 5 little cheese spinach triangles, served very warm with a nice tomato sauce - Shrimp Skillet - Sautéed tiger prawns with diced tomatoes, red onion, capers, oregano & Greek feta cheese - this was such a yummy dish - I'll make sure that I would some pita to sop up this wonderful sauce. - Gnocchi Poutine - fried gnocchi with cheese curds drizzled in demi-glaze - quite tasty - Scallop Avocado - seared scallops over avocado mousse & crispy tortilla - I like this tapas dish! Delish! Service was great. I'd come back to try other tapas or even their express lunch menu which looked interesting. read more

Ordered from uber eats and wasted my money on some of the worst food I had in Calgary. The calamari was cold and didn't seem cooked at all. The lamb didn't seem cooked and the seasoning was way too heavy and it was gross to taste. Made me sick. They wasted their time giving me a coupon to use towards their food as I will never order there again! read more

When we walked in the restaurant we noticed there are two seating sections: one was completely empty & had a guy behind a piano playing music while the other section was where all the customers were seated. Anyway, that was a little weird but you could still hear the live music quite well. The orders were placed & the wine was poured & as the food kept coming, the smiles got bigger & bigger. My only drawback to this place is that some of the portions, and notice I say some, were little small. The food was good specially the scallop avocado. Also the coffee & desserts were to perfection. I would definitely recommend the Garlic toast & Dolmades too. :)) Server/ Host knowledge: 4 Server/host attitude: 4.5 Fast service: 4 Food Menu: 4 Drinks Menu: 4 Food quality: 4.5 Food Portion: 3 Ambience: 4.5 Distance to other tables: 4 Cleanliness: 4.5 Comfort: 4.5 Waiting time to get seated: 5 Price: 4 read more

I have heard of this place a couple time but had never checked it out, but I'm glad I finally did! On the outside it doesn't look like much, but it has a classy vibe inside. It was not very busy when I went, even though it was a Friday evening at dinner. We had the charcuterie board and flaming cheese, both amazing. Make sure to get the flaming cheese with pita, perfect combination. We also got the creme brûlée, delicious. Our server was also so sweet. I 100% recommend this place read more

Have rolled by this restaurant a few times and was always curious as to what it was all about. I did not realize until I entered that it is attached to Toscana Italian Grill - some menu items are available in the Wine Bar. My wife and I were looking for an afternoon nibble and a couple drinks and this turned into an afternoon and evening of great wine, great food, great service and atmosfera! Initially, we were the only ones in the place - choice of seats! Our server was friendly conversational. He answered all our questions about the menu, wine selection and generally how the establishment "runs." We ordered a variety of tapas - ranging from saganaki to seafood to chicken lollipops. Each tapas was delicious in its own right, but the combination of several made up an excellent meal! All these paired with a couple of bottles of Chianti made for a fantastic evening. Thankfully, it got more busy as the afternoon slid into evening - and being November the sun set early so that the restaurant got a bit darker - creating the atmosfera! I was particularly impressed that the owner stopped by our table to introduce himself and we had an engaging conversation about the excellent food and service. This is a rare thing in the restaurant business these days. The tapas here are not the $5 variety that I overheard someone comment to their friend that they had found in somewhere else. I am not even sure those exist anywhere. Every savory bite was worth every dollar! read more

Went to the Greek Next Door for dinner tonite. Menu has changed a bit and the new manager, MJ, was really attentive to all the guests. We ordered the baked feta for an appetizer which was really good with a side of pita. We shared the Zeus Platter for two which was really more than enough for two good eaters! The pork souvlaki skewer was delicious, as was the Greek ribs, sausage and meatballs. The tzatiki ligh and so tasty, small Greek salad perfect. Wine menu is great and house wines change so always a good choice. Will go back soon, looking forward to working through the new.menu!!! read more

Delicious fresh ingredients, low prices, uptown adult only dinning experience! $35 tasting menu ($20 for lunch). Great for a business lunch or romantic dinner. Definitely a cut above most of the restaurants I've been to in the South. You used to have to travel downtown for a restaurant this good - not anymore! Try anything Italian on the menu... We quickly realized the chef is Italian, by tasting the pasta dishes, and finding out the deserts are made in-house! Tiramisu, Tomato bocconcini salad and Ravioli were excellent! Also, the restaurant itself is completely renovated. Very comfortable seating with a romantic ambiance at night. Next to London Drugs on Heritage and Macleod. read more

Last night I had an occasion to both each and draw caricatures at the next-door wine & appetizers restaurant located off of McLeod Trail and heritage Drive. An excellent experience was had by all as far as I could tell. I think my caricature drawing feature had something to do with it! Also, the bigger and most important feature at any dining establishment is the hired help. I have to say that Daniel and Ayrann were both super waitresses, and never once took on the role of 'hired help.' Instead I was constantly wondering which one was the owner. I would definitely eat there again. read more

great food, love the menu has many options including starters for 2 to share. the service was great and the restaurant was compliant to COVID-19 rules and regulations. I've ordered the Lamb Shank and it was so good. the missing star is for the disappointing desert we ordered the chocolate cake which didn't taste good or freshly made. read more

We just noticed their sign driving by. We dropped in for dinner and had a great experience. Great service, wine and meals. We decided to order 2 entrees and share them. the braised pork shoulder and Greek ribs were spot on. read more

A friend and I went to Next Door Wine Bar for dinner with a groupon that I had purchased. The groupon included a bottle of wine and the Chef's board. On top of that we ordered the Arancini, Flaming Cheese, Bruschetta Flatbread, and Beet Salad. All in all the meal was pretty average with the highlights being the Chef's board and the Bruschetta Flatbread. The service was very attentive, although they did bring all of our dishes out at the same time which kind of bothers me but that's not a big deal. The place is worth a try, especially if you live in the area. *Visited August/17 read more

Nice place to come for appies and wine. We had the truffle fries , flaming cheese and shrimp. The cheese was sharp The shrimp appy was delicious. We will be back read more

We went to Next Door Wine Bar for a date night. We loved the ambience as it was a date night for us It was a great find and we were totally pleased!! The food was great , we had the Chefs Charcuterie Board oh and did i mention the desserts. You have to try .... The service was awesome - they made you feel really welcome and kept checking on you :) We will be back many more times to come !! read more

My dad had his 60th birthday/retirement party here. We had half of the space to ourselves and had a dedicated bartender and server for the 30-40 of us. There was enough space to stand and mingle before dinner even with the tables set for dinner. The food was good, but probably would have been better if they weren't trying to cook 30-some meals all at the same time. The service was excellent and all had a good time. read more

I'm a first time customer of Greek Next Door. The food was average however my only beef was that the price for what you receive is about 20-25% too high. $18 for pita and tzaziki! Also would've loved to have seen a kids menu. My food came cold which I'm sure isn't the restaurants fault. But I can't say I will be returning. read more

Awesome food, the Greek Platter is delicious. Service was attentive and personal. We will be back.

Wow this place was so good! The horseradish sauce with the beef is amazing! We also tried the shrimp and the mussels. Delicious. We will be back! read more

Been meaning to try this restaurant for a long time. What a great experience. We've never ate tapas before and was a bit apprehensive. We early and we're greeted to $5 appys. We ordered serval different appys to try between the two of us. Everything we tried was very good. The Sauce on the chicken lollipops was awesome. The house red was delicious. Can't go wrong for $5 a glass. This was our first trip and it will not be our last. read more

Unbelievable Gem in South Calgary, very fresh and perfectly seasoned, it's been a while since I've had greek ribs as good as this. Happy to live close to this Greek next door. read more

Took a Groupon platter and bottle of wine deal, and three people for dinner. Service wasn't the best - we were seated promptly and the coupon taken to get the platter underway, but the beer we ordered sat on the bar for ten minutes while everyone walked past it, and I eventually went and got it myself. We'd said when we were seated we were going to order more food than the deal, but the waiter didn't come near us for quite a while, and when he did and I asked my parents if they wanted to order, he turned and walked away ... ??? I wasn't super impressed by now and would have left, but we decided to stick it out and finally ordered pasta, which to their credit, was wonderful. Maybe it was just the fact that it was a Monday, and there were only three staff working for about a dozen tables, that made the service slow. I have zero complaints about the food or the bottle of wine, both delicious. Prices were very reasonable ($18 for a big pasta dish). If you're an Italian fan, I can recommend. read more

My wife and I were looking for something a little different with really good food. Hard to find outside of downtown Calgary and yet here is a hidden gem at Heritage and Macleod Trail south. Quiet ambience with a nice decor, comfortable chairs and relaxed feel. Started with Arabata salad - nice light balsamic dressing. My wife had the flaming Saganiki - excellent. Ordered the rabbit and polenta special - amazing! My wife had the seafood platter - a huge selection of seafood in a very tasty sauce. Finished off with a Tiramisu. Enjoyed this surprise find and will be back with others! read more

"Hidden gem" (as one of the previous reviewers put it) is the best description I can think of for this place! Russell greeted my companion and I by name when we got to the door and was thoroughly attentive for our whole visit, usually anticipating what we were about to ask for. He said that he serves at a restaurant because he loves making sure people enjoy themselves, and it shows. The food (we ordered from the tapas menu) was simple, full of flavour, and artfully presented. I look forward to the next time I go here. read more

The food was good. The atmosphere was nice. The service was weird. We went late-ish on a Saturday 8pm and I think they wanted us to go home. We weren't rushed but ignored during the end. Other than that nice night. read more

We stopped in as we do like wine and appies. It was just ok. Downtown prices which was a bit over the top. Overall pretty disappointed to be honest but we will let them figure everything out as it is fairly new and try it one more time. The meat all were good...the gnocchi not so much. The meat and cheese tray was a COMPLETE RIP OFF. read more

This place was pretty average. I ordered gluten free pizza, the toppings were great. Only complaint is the base was a bit sweet. Over priced for the quality. read more

We found this little gem on Groupon (it was a wine / apply promo ). After a lovely evening we had to leave a fantastic review. Great tapas. Great deal on the wine, fantastic service, good prices on the menu and this great jazz guitarist on Friday night. Quiet enough to carry on a conversation without yelling. Highly enjoyable. We will be back even without the coupon. read more

The food here is awesome so 2 stars for that! But the service wasn't very professional. I went to a birthday here and the staff was pretty rude. They didn't make us feel welcomed and acted as though we were an inconvenience. At the end when everyone was leaving. I overheard my friend who had organized the event making sure she would get her $200 deposit back since everyone cleared up their tab. They agreed. Only to come back today saying she didn't have everyone show up and they normally charge 1500 to for room rentals (we didn't have a room. Just a bunch of tables) and attached some event package she had never recieved before. I don't know who would pay 1500 for this place. My overall on this place is super unprofessional and wouldn't recommend. read more

Took my parents here for dinner the Thursday after mother's day. Pros: - our waitress was friendly and polite - some of the food was quite good, the calamari, the gambertti and the shrimp saganaki all had great flavors and the seafood was cooked perfectly. Cons: - the service was very slow. From when we walked in and were sat it took 20 minutes to get a drink. It was obvious that our waitress was the only one working on the wine bar side and I doubt she was getting any help from the other staff. - The other staff working, excluding our waitress, were borderline rude. When we walked in we were stared at by unfriendly faces. The other server that dropped off our food scowled at my mother when she asked for tatziki for the calamari, didn't say a word in response and marched away... we never got the tatziki from her and asked our own server when she came by. Keep in mind it was supposed to come with the dish... - my mother had the charcutrie board and one of the meats was a smoked sausage that was terrible. It was inedible, I tried a bite and I couldn't even chew it. - I had the arancini and it was tasteless and soggy as opposed to crunchy. Bottom line: I wouldn't go back here. There are other restaurants in the city that do tapas and it's much better. read more
