    Lamb souvlaki
    Michelle T.

    Absolutely loved the salad. My mom thought it was a little sour from the dressing but I liked it. I liked the lamb souvlaki, it was meaty and tasted great! Seasoning was suitable. The rice was not sour, so that was great. Pork was kind of pinkish in some parts, and the salad had some old leaves as seen by the stains. Only the manager was working the ENTIRE floor on this Monday lunch hour. Manageable, but it was hard work. He was running everywhere. There was 1 big party and like 5 small parties. Because he was so busy, he didn't have the time to check in with us or else we would've spoken up about the salad and pork. Regardless, we just left those parts in the plate. The decor was amazing. It truly felt like we were in Greece. This is my mom's second time having Greek food. She loved it!

    Grilled Octopus

    A Mediterranean restaurant that will instantly transport you to the warm European seas when you enter the establishment. It is decorated with Greek décor, something you'd expect to see while in Greece. The waiters are fast paced and the environment is lively, great for small and large family gatherings! Bread - This is how I like my bread, thin crispy exterior and fluffy interior. It's rolled in sesame seeds to give it a beautiful aroma. I think the bread is similar to a challah (egg bread). The best part of all is this it comes free of charge! Grilled octopus - One of the more expensive appetizer options is the grilled octopus. The octopus will grilled and seasoned to perfection with a bit of salt, pepper and olive oil. The octopus had the gentle but chewy texture of a carefully cooked octopus. The portion was about 1-2 tentacles, abit pricey but it was delicious! Mixed Souvlaki Plate - This was an absolute giant of a meal, it comes with the plate and a salad. The salad is a traditional Greek salad: lettuce, cucumbers, red onions, a tomato, feta and an olive. The combination was a bit too salty for me and the tomato was the most refreshing part. The mixed plate had a bit of chicken, pork and lamb. Served alongside some rice and boiled vegetables. The chicken was my favourite, juicy, flavourful chicken. The entrees are quite a lot of food, so it would be possible to order a plate for two people. The environment was fun and bread was good. Would definitely come again if I have a Greek craving!

    Excellent traditional Greek menu offerings. We enjoyed lunch out with quality food & attentive service. Lots of comfortable seating & traditional decor. Super clean washrooms. Great place for a group given the menu variety.

    Ithaca Greek and Mediterranean restaurant have been around for years near the corner of McCowan and hwy 7. I have passed by for years, even glanced at their menu posted outside their restaurant in years past (since my mechanic is near by), but never ventured in. Today, marks the day where I finally took the plunge. The interior is a bit dated, but I like the Hellenistic ambiance. They even had the fireplace going. I was greeted by a gentleman who has a very matter of fact mannerism with a radio voice (who I assume is the owner). Don't laugh at me, but I went with a very generic order - chicken souvlaki on a pita. I'd say they delivered on a solid chicken souvlaki. The chicken chunks had the right combination and amount of spices; flavourful but not overly salty, which allows one to taste the flavour of the meat. The chicken was cooked well (not over cooked) with decent amounts of burnt. The pita was nice and chewy with a slight crisp exterior upon arrival. I would however suggest them to go easier on the tzatziki sauce. There was almost enough to turn part of the fries on my plate into some sort of fries supreme at Taco Bell. The sauce could surely be more garlicky as well. I didn't mind the fries, they were pretty good. They served medium cut fries with a thin batter, which were nice and crunchy on the outside, but you still get the fluffy potato inside and you can taste the potato. I actually found their ketchup interesting though. It came in a Heinz bottle (I do know of restaurants that just keep on refilling the bottle,but not with Heinz), but it honestly tasted like a concoction of ketchup and Maggi sauce. I didn't mind it either. The server did his job by checking on me once during the meal and was quick to clean off the table after I was done. Maybe a bit too quick where I didn't even get a chance to wipe my mouth with the napkin. I'd say it's an okay experience. Ithaca is a cut or two above the likes of Mr. Greek and Jimmy the Greek. 3.2/5 is where I would peg them at. Perhaps more personable service would be enough to vault them to a number that deserves some rounding up. It's not a bad option, but it was not a memorable experience.

    Classic greek restaurant with all the options. Service was very good and the food was great. The Mix souvlaki was excellent Salads were fresh Baklava was generous and yummy Musaka was great I enjoyed the meal and experience. This place is a bit of a time warp with classic decor from the early 2000's style greek restaurants Recommend for more of a family owned greek stop in Markham over some of the franchise food options.

    Trio of dips - loved them all, and the warm bread was perfect!
    Danielle B.

    Tried this restaurant for the first time last weekend and I'm sure it won't be the last. I made my reservation online and received an email confirmation within a few minutes. Off to a great start. About ten minutes later, I received a phone call from the restaurant asking if I had intended on reserving at that location (my phone number has a BC area code still). I confirmed and thanked him for checking - I found that to be very considerate to call. We arrived a few minutes before our reserved time, and were surprised to see that the restaurant was basically empty. They seemed to be very busy with takeout and delivery orders, though, so that is a good thing. We ordered a few different items to share, including the trio of dips, grilled octopus, Greek salad, roast lamb and seafood pasta. Everything was so delicious. The grilled octopus was so tender and grilled to perfection. I hadn't had Greek food in a very long time, so I was very happy that everything tasted so good. I wasn't able to finish my entrée, so I took the rest home. I think it was one of the best roast lamb dinners I've ever had. Simply prepared, with light, fluffy roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables but so, so good. The baklava was also amazing. Perfectly flaky, and not too sweet. I have to give kudos to our server, who made the whole dining experience that much better. I always say, when you have great service, the whole meal seems to taste better. Can't wait to go back again.

    I've ordered and gone to this restaurant countless times! It's a great Greek place in the area my 2 year old boys love it - it's one of their favourite places to go. Every time we go service is great, very accommodating and welcoming. The food is very flavourful and the meat is always juicy and cooked perfectly! We took the sausage,grilled octopus, the gyro dinner plate and the chicken. Everything was delicious, the grilled octopus and sausage were a big hit. Definitely coming back here!

    Greek Salad

    I have been here multiple times and everything is phenomenal! The chicken souvlaki is the most moist and tender i've ever had and never comes out dry. The rice and potatoes are also always cooked perfectly and there unlimited bread baskets. The feta on the salad is fresh and the service is also good (it is more of a traditional feel). The ambience of the restaurant makes me feel like i'm in Greece and I will always return to this restaurant! Prices are also very reasonable.

    Enjoys some really nice weather on the patio with great food. Our meals also came with a salad and garlic bread. Just from how well those were, you could tell it was wasn't going disappoint. Everything came in a timely manner and tastes as delicious as you'd expect. No more, no less. I thought the potatoes were a standout. Nicely seasoned with a fluffy soft texture. Would have liked more of a grilled exterior thought. The breaded shrimp was also very nice. Good balance of breading and well cooked shrimp. My only complaint is that the price was a little high for the portion size. Ive been to other restaurants that have a similar menu but they usually more rice and meat. If I was any hungrier, I probably wouldn't feel full after this meal.

    Delicious Greek food. Portions sizes were really big. Restaurant was clean. Service was amazing and food tasted good too.

    Location: Markham Rd & Highway 7, East of Markham Rd in the plaza Decor: Beautiful, even the roof is painted like a sky. Food: I really liked the food here. I got the pre-fix meal $35 and it fed two people perfectly. I had the trio Hummus and a greek salad to start. The hummus was good, the greek salad was okay not that good. The Saganaki is perfect (It's not part of the pre-fix but i love how they light it up and say Opa!). For the main course we got the seafood pasta, the sauce is nice and thick! really tasty. As for dessert it says we can choose from the dessert display. We chose the chocolate cake which didn't taste good at all. Was really dry like its been a couple of days. I would still say overall the meal is really good to feed two people and still have leftovers. Service/Cost: Cost is amazing $35 for two people! The service was a bit slow in seating us down even though there was only two tables. Also when the saganaki came out he sounded really drained like he's done it so many times just a monotone 'opa'. was pretty funny actually, we didn't mind. Everything else was perfect. Food came out quickly and the server was really nice and friendly. Will definitely return

    Good food, good portion, good service, nice design, great people with humour. Inside the plaza at Hwy 7 and McCowan beside Congee Queen. The restaurant with the cool exterior design. Came on Christmas Eve with my family. Didn't need to make a reservation, not busy but same good food and service. TIP: there is reserved parking for guests to this restaurant right in front of their doors marked with a sign. House wine was surprisingly decent and I'm a wine drinker! TIP: Ask for the flamed appetizer, a great show. TIP : They have a separate entrance at the back of the restaurant if you cannot find parking at the front. Food portions were quite big, they also offer garlic bread to start. They encouraged their famous Greek salad however I wasn't blown away by it. Their prix fix menu provides a lot of food; the pita dip is enough to be shared so one prix fix may be enough for the table. Overall if you're coming, come hungry.

The categories of food were itemized all over the place, so you weren't sure you were getting what you wanted as if it were a small combo, a larger dinner, or a la carte. The food itself was worth nowhere near the prices charged. For $20.89 before tip and taxes, I got a regular 355 mL can of domestic pop, a lunch sized pita that was completely burnt, and a side of frozen fries. Everyone's chicken was dry as a bone, and even the rice was as dessicated as cardboard. The only decent items were the Greek salad, and the pork which was able to withstand its level of char because it's not chicken. They didn't deliver one of the said cans of pop, which was charged and paid for at $3 for a la carte because it wasn't ordered as part of a preset combo. Add to the order the suggested 20% tip pushing $50, and the total customer experience result is that we'll never order from there again, or bother trying them as walk ins Never again.

Additionally, they're very prompt with refilling water for you if your table orders glasses of water as well, indicating that they're extremely diligent.

I love how flavorful the souvlaki is but sometimes, if I have leftover taramosalata, I will slather some of it onto the bun for an extra punch of flavor! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU LIKE GREEK FOOD :D
