The menu has a large selection of appetizers and mains, many of which can be shared. I opted for the chicken souvlaki which featured two skewers of perfectly cooked and seasoned chunks of chicken, atop a mountain of seasoned rice, roasted potatoes, and cooked vegetables. A small side of Greek salad accompanied the meal. This is a little on the expensive side but wonderful for a special occasion.

Another girl filled our waters constantly. We tried: Saganaki: 10/10. Another Greek restaurant added a shot of alcohol and lit it on fire (big show) which was fun but this place did not. Lemon on the side. I purposely ordered pita just so I could have this on top of bread. Flavor was great, texture was great. Tasted less greasy than the other place. Pita: 10/10, soft, goes well with the Saganaki. Does not come with any dips or anything. Spanakopita: 3 pieces. 7/10. I really did not like, spinach taste was very strong and no feta taste. Came so hot we burned out mouths which was cool. My mother liked the flavor though. Chicken Skewers: 2 skewers. 10/10 flavor was great, sauce was great, moist too. Baklava: I give it an 8/10. Flavor was fine but was soooooo mushy. My mother said it was too mushy and could not eat it. Cherry on the side was super yummy. Lots of other cool desserts to try next time. Overall some good dishes here.

We loved most things on the menu but the standouts were the roasted lamb with potatos. The lamb was so tender, it fell apart with the touch of the fork. The spanakopita was also delicious. Not greasy and full of flavour. The sagonaki cheese was rich and salty. All the dips were amazing. I loved the eggplant one, but they were all really great. The grape rolls were well constructed and delicous and I tried to ignore the amount of oil that sopped up all the rice. The only thing that I wasn't a super fan of was the chicken. The flavours weren't there and the chicken was dry. Beautiful and cozy on the inside. It was jammed packed in there but we were served professionally. Highly recommend it!

I love Greek food but I haven't tried Cosmo's yet even though it's been open for like 20 years. If anyone is planning on trying it with the COVID restrictions I would recommend doing so now, because when we went there was a lot of seating with lots of space between people! The food was just amazing. We started with the hummus and pita, and then I tried the Psari Paki! Both were delicious! However, it was the dessert that really stole the show for me. The owner/chef makes the desserts fresh daily and they are true Greek desserts! I loved them! They were called Ekmek and Galacto Buriko - pastries with custard, honey, almonds, etc. OMG they were heavenly. I would come back to this place for the desserts alone. The service was awesome. We came on a Sunday and had a friendly server who had been working there for many years! So she knew all the details and ins/outs of what we were ordering. She gave us tonnes of recommendations as well! 10/10 experience - I would recommend this spot to anyone interested in trying some of the Greek restaurants in YEG.

Gregg Mediterranean is a restaurant that focuses on the flavours of the east Mediterranean - think…read moreshawarma and kabob. However, their menu offers a whole lot more and their dine-in experience is elevated beyond an express donair wrap. The Edmonton Journal named Gregg Mediterranean as the Best Mediterranean Restaurant 2020 and I was excited to head out to Sherwood Park to taste their cuisine. Located specifically in the Millennium Ridge Retail Centre, it's a nice shopping plaza with a courtyard area. I can imagine that the summertime would be especially lovely with patios spilling out into the common areas and string lights illuminating the evenings. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious with two large dining areas and a bar. The decor is simple but I was impressed at the easy elegance. The rich, jewel-toned green velvet-wrapped chairs with gold accents caught my eye immediately. Tall hookah pipes were being ported around, their sweet scent filling the air. The vibe is easygoing but there are hints of style and good taste. The staff was all very friendly and happy to answer questions and make suggestions. I could tell that Gregg Mediterranean is a family-run business and they treat their customers very warmly. It wasn't long before many of the tables in the restaurant were occupied with patrons in the mood for a mediterranean feast! Upon getting settled and cozy, the first thing that I did was look to the beverage menu for something interesting to drink. Sadly, there was almost nothing of note. The best drink was a Lebanese Coffee, which is exactly the sort of thing that I was looking for, however I wasn't in the mood for a coffee so late in the day. Apart from that there was only pop and not much else. I decided to forgo the beverages altogether and opted for water. The food menu is a nice size with lots of options but simultaneously doesn't overdo it. There are many appetizers to choose from which gave me the feeling of meze, where you would order a lot of plates to share among the table. The Sujuk (housemade spicy beef sausage) sounded quite special, Grilled Halloumi Cheese is never the incorrect choice, and the Chicken Liver certainly caught my eye as a unique offering. On my first visit I wanted to stick to the guaranteed hits and ordered the Dip Trio (Hummus, baba gannouj, and laban bil khiar - $17.00) as a way to try several different flavours at once. Served with warm triangles of pita, this colourful dip trifecta was a feast for the eyes. I excitedly began to sample each one. The hummus was incredibly smooth with a nice level of garlic and tahini. The baba gannouj was my favourite. This smoked eggplant dip mixed with tahini sauce, lemon juice, and garlic really captured an incredible smokiness that was a delight to eat! And finally the laban bil khiar, which had us asking "is this tzatziki?" This yogurt dip mixed with garlic, cucumber, and dry mint is a Lebanese preparation whereas tzatziki is Greek, however they are similar. It boasted an enjoyable cooling flavour (and was excellent for dunking falafels into later on). I spotted the Garlic Potato ($11.00) on the menu and needed no further explanation. If you know a mediterranean-style potato, you know. Exactly as I had hoped, this mountain of rust-coloured potatoes were topped with a generous amount of garlic sauce. What I didn't expect was that the potatoes would be infused with a bright lemon flavour, a very welcome discovery! Some of the cubes of potato were slightly undercooked but the soft ones were perfection. The garlic sauce did its job to ensure that I shouldn't associate with any other people that day... And I didn't mind at all. I was also curious to try their version of Falafel (Chickpeas mixed with parsley and onion - $12.00). I liked the plating on a bed of vegetables and pickles which added colour and freshness. Each falafel ball had a satisfyingly crunchy shell, revealing a soft interior. Unfortunately, I found the falafel somewhat dry. Served with a dip, this helped to add some much-needed moisture. I also really enjoyed using the laban bil khiar as a dip. Overall, this wasn't a dish that I felt overly excited about. Gregg Mediterranean serves several different salads (I love a Fattoush!) and when it comes to entrees there are an array of platters to choose from. The Mashawee platter appears to be the signature dish and includes various types of meat skewers. I considered ordering a platter like this for a long while but instead wanted to try the Chicken Shawarma Wrap (Served with choice of fries or salad - $16.00) because I really enjoy a wrap like this when it's done well. I wish that there had been more of an option to customize the ingredients used inside of the wrap. I like my chicken shawarma wraps served "old school" with tons of garlic sauce, purple cabbage sauce, tomato, pink pickled turnips, pickles, and parsley. There was no opportunity to make this wrap the type of shawarma that I truly enjoy. Maybe this st

The food is delicious, I tried the beef donair and it was so juicy and full with deliocus sweet sauce and cheese. You get two wraps with it and can either have a side of salad or fries. I had the salad and it tastes very fresh, the sauce was very tangy and has a bit of a spicy kick. My Friend tried the beef Sharma with the same sides as salads and we shared the other half of our wraps. The Sharma was a bit different, it has pickles beets which gave the beef a good contrast with the salad. Overall the Sharma tasted lighter and not as heavy and juicy as the donair. We also had desert, tried the gelato coconut and mango with whip cream. I've never tried this desert anywhere, the mango was in the center but yummy it was an awesome pair! To end the evening we ordered Turkish coffee with cardamom. The coffee was a bit string for my taste. I needed cream and lots of sugar to help with the bitter taste but overall very unique taste; however I didn't taste the cardamom. Overall the place was great, got busier towards the evening. Service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming and the washroom was clean, but only one stall for the women.

Of course I ordered 2 large chicken shawarma wraps and while I was there, I decided to get the Koo-Doo Chicken with fries and pop as well. The chicken shawarma was cooked and seasoned well. It was served on a pita with garlic sauce, mayo cabbage, slices of lemon, pickles, and pomegranate sauce. It had the right amount of veggies and sauce and all the flavours complimented each other. The Koo-Doo Chicken was okay for me. I honestly didn't think there was enough chicken, but there was lots of fillers, green peppers, mushrooms, lettuce and pickles. The drive home for me from the restaurant was a short drive, but by the time I got home, it got real soggy in the center. Not sure if the fries was prepared and cut inhouse, but they were fried to a nice crisp exterior and the seasoning was so good! Overall, my favourite was the chicken shawarma wrap and I'd definitely come back for more of it!

Both donair and falafel are very underwhelming , the 2 orders of 3 wraps and a side order of onion rings took over 15 minutes to "cook" and it was still cold after a 2 minute commute. The donair meat was cold like it had been just pulled from a Tupperware container while the onion rings that sat for 5 minutes in a paper bag were soggy before we even left the store. The falafel, most likely cooked from a previous batch was dried out and cool to the touch in the the touch inside the wrap when I bit into it. No semblance of it being fresh. Been there for a year supposedly, tried it once but won't be back. Laziza (3 minute drive) leagues better.

However this time around I was shocked at how much I enjoyed a lot of the food. It made me question whether I had ordered the wrong items during my first visit. Ironically enough, a lot of what I enjoyed were items aside from their chicken (which was good itself). The mashed potatoes and garlic bread were really good, as were a lot of the sides. The peri peri sauces and especially the Nando's garlic mayo are condiments I have really used a lot of at home since picking up a few bottles during my visit. The best item hands down was the egg tart. I love the egg tart, I got seconds. I even still think about the egg tart. The only thing stopping me from getting it right now is my generally low carb diet. However, Nando's is now a viable option for me when it's time for a cheat meal!
