    I placed an order by phone and had to order for my brother also. The lady made 2 separate orders for me so I could deliver my brother's food more easily. It was a Wednesday evening after my appt in the same plaza. I had to wait about 25-30 min. Understandable as they were busy. I saw many people in and out of the restaurant. It's great and I'm happy to see they're getting a lot of business during this time. The food was fresh. I had the village salad and it was delicious. Lots of black olives and feta in my salad. A great place for quick and quality Greek food in Markham.

    Small pork souvlaki (3 skewers) with rice

    A Greek restaurant in a corner strip mall that's got big taste. Visited this place on a Monday afternoon for lunch at 12:30pm. No reservations needed. Staff friendly and attentive. Food portions are indicative of the price. Family ordered the small pork souvlaki (x3) and a kalamari appetizer. Complimentary garlic bread was so good we asked for a second helping. The kalamari appetizer portion was good for 3 people (mom, dad and 13 yr old daughter) and wasn't overdone. And none of us finished our souvlaki meals because we were so full. Pork was tender and seasoned well. No alcohol or pop ordered and bill came to just over $100 (with tip). Will be coming back!

    Greek food has always been something my parents want every time they're in town! After spending a full day at an outlet, I decided to bring them here . we tend to order the same dishes, lamb souvlaki and pork souvlaki typically I get mine with rice and potatoes, but I wasn't in the mood for a whole plate full of carbs and opted for veggies & rice. Parents on the other hand typically want veggies, but they opted for rice and potatoes - which works in my favour cause I can mooch off their plates for potatoes

    Complimentary warm garlic bread... So good

    My boss at C21 was craving for Greek food one night, so we have decided to visit Loui's Kouzina to satisfy his cravings lol. I've never been, but boss seems to love this place a lot and he often orders take out. It was FREEZING cold this evening, we were welcomed by WARM smiles when we walked in :) The people working there were very friendly. I was especially impressed with our waiter who remembered our orders and special requests like a breeze! He also made sure our cups of hot water is always full. Since I 'should be' on a diet after being gluttons over the holidays, I tried to order something small and light for my dinner - a buttery Garlic Shrimps ($10) appetizer for my protein and a refreshing Village Salad ($7.50). But then... there was the complimentary warm garlic bread!! OMG it was so addictive, and I can't stay no to bread lol. I stole a piece of lamb from my hubby's Lamb Souvlaki dinner ($19.50), and the meat was very succulent and flavourful. And then I started eating off his fries lol. They were hot and crispy, and I can't stay no to fries either. Sigh, so much for dieting T_T Overall, a satisfying meal with very good portions, great value when you order Souvlaki plates and warm service!

    STOP ORDERING THE TRIO....unless you have 4+ people. This wonderful assortment of pita slices with hummus, tzatziki and that delightfully delicious pink taramasalata CANNOT be tackled by just 2 people. I KEEP MAKING THAT MISTAKE (with my fiancé). What can I say? I guess we're gluttons for gluten...and punishment. Aside from stuffing our faces with bread and delicious Middle Eastern spreads, Loui's Kouzina is a great place in Markham to stuff your face on a variety of Greek foods. Kebabs, gyros, pitas, salads, etc. All that meaty goodness that Greek food offers can be found here, with a generous side of potatoes and rice. My favourite lunch order is pretty weak, a small salad and an order of taramasalata shared with someone. Maybe a skewer or two. What you don't understand are the portions are HUMONGOUS. That small salad could be a salad entree at another restaurant. Despite my seemingly small order, I always leave with leftovers. My fiance always gets the small kebab plate at $12. He's a big boy and that's a full meal, with not just skewers, but salad and sides. And how can this be a great Greek place if the meat isn't good? The skewers are always tender and juicy. The pork is very succulent but the chicken is up there as well. I'm not a fan of lamb, but I did take a bite of the oven roasted lamb shank someone else ordered one time. It was soft to the point of falling off the bone and very lamb-y...perfect for someone who's into that! Service is friendly, and I've never had a problem even with a larger crew. Water is always filled, people are always friendly. When you've got value, variety, and flavours like this, you've got a repeat customer in me. Thanks Lou's Kouzina, for making me realize Greek food isn't just "dry meat on a stick". (50/100) - 2017

    Foods always amazing Love the gyro It's a must have stop if you're in Markham. There's a guy at my work that orders chicken skewers every night at work. He's addicted

    Stopped here for a lunch date and the staff were friendly. We were greeted and seated as soon as possible and they gave us time to review the menu options. I ordered chicken on a small plate and my boyfriend had the gyro. The meat was all well cooked and seasoned but a bit salty. The Greek salad was very wet :/ I was not a fan of my extremely drenched salad... The sides are not very well seasoned or cooked. Rice is bland and mushy and the potatoes were the same. The fries seemed okay so I'd just stick to those. The prices are a bit higher but the food doesn't seem to follow up with that pricing. It wasn't a bad experience per se but the food makes me quite confident that I will not be returning..

    Small Chicken Souvlaki with Greek Fries
    Shelisa W.

    It was overall alright, the interior was not much took look at and the food was alright - good flavour but my greek fries were dry and hard to swallow, tzatziki was a little too thick making it hard to use. My server although super sweet, brought out my friends salad way before any of my food so we had to awkwardly sit for maybe 10 min while waiting for my salad which ended up coming on my meal plate. The free "garlic bread" is a kind touch. Might return if I'm in the need for a quick Greek fix that's close by and not in a food court environment.

    Loui's Kouzina is one of the best Greek restaurant up in Markham... Not that Markham has a lot of other choices for some decent Greek food. Try not to come on a Saturday night unless you don't mind waiting... At 7 pm, there is a line up for tables!! Chicken Souvlaki with 2 sides ($10.95) is satisfying... Chicken is surprisingly juicy and has that right off the grill flavour. Though my food took some time to arrive, I ate the whole loaf of garlic bread while I waited.... Service is good as my waitress checked on me the whole evening and reassure me that my food would be coming soon..... Now I know Loui's Kouzina would be my Greek restaurant if ever I feel like having some Greek food up in Markham!

    The Trio ($13.95): tzatziki, hummus, taramosalata
    Kojo A.

    Full disclosure; I am not the biggest fan of Greek food. With that said, here, we, GO! Loui's Kouzina is a relaxed environment Greek restaurant located in the plaza at Woodbine and 16th Avenue in Markham. In step with the Greek theme, much of the decor features bold Greek blue and white colours. The feel of the space is brightened, literally, by the welcome amount of natural light that flows in. These guys have been in the area since 2008, so they must be doing something right. To be honest, my favourite item to get here is their trio dip appetizer. You'll be served several slices of fresh nan with which you can scoop up tzatziki, hummus, or taramosalata. Taramosalata is a blend of red fish roe, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. There is nothing mind blowing about this dish, but for me, the flavours are relatively simple, while at the same time vibrant. It's a great way to get me on board! My personal favourite is the taramosalata :) I also tend to get the small pork souvlaki. All of their small plates are served with salad, tzatziki, and one of: fries, assorted vegetables, rice, or roasted potatoes. In general, this restaurant aims to please with simple ingredients, which is highlighted by these two dishes. To their credit, I've always been satisfied eating here, and I'm sure you would be too. Don't expect life changing flavours, but do expect quality.

    A solid 3 stars! Loui's is located in a strip mall where 80% of the shops are VERY Asian. The staff also appear mostly Asian. I was not expecting great Greek food. The friendly staff were charming and the lamb souflaki was very good. They also included garlic bread. The menu was respectable but not exhaustive. It was a solid meal. I left happy. Oh, they take Visa and MC but not Amex.

    Lamb souvlaki
    Alex T.

    Pros: Well prepared dishes Good value Cons: Not too much seating Loui's has become my go to for Greek cuisine when I'm out. Great service and food at a good price. I couldn't ask for more from a place like this. My go to dish at Greek restaurants is always the lamb souvlaki. Most Greek restaurants now charge upwards of $20+ for the dish. I can get one at Loui's for $16.99. That's amazing if you ask me. Most dishes here seem to cost anywhere from $2-4 cheaper than you can find elsewhere. The best part here is you don't sacrifice any taste for the value. The lamb souvlaki was very tender and not dry at all. You get a very good portion for what you pay. I love the roasted potatoes here. They are served in a sauce that's just perfect for them. It makes the potatoes never dry that way. They also drizzle a bit of that sauce over the rice which makes that extra tasty as well! Even the salads here are pretty good for a complimentary salad. My little ones can't stop eating the salad here so as a father that makes me very happy to see that. My only gripe is that there aren't too many tables at this place. It's a very popular place among the locals so you can expects wait times during peak times. Turnover for Greek cuisine isn't the fastest either. Plan accordingly and you should be fine though. When I'm uptown and feeling Greek, I'm always going to be coming here for my fix. I've yet to find a place to offers prices like loui's that isn't a fast food chain.

    I agree with other reviews that suggest this is one of the best options for Greek food in Markham, but that does not mean it's good Greek food. Loui's Kouzina is not comparable to some of the great restaurants on the Danforth. My husband still really enjoys the food at this restaurant but I have disliked it for the past 3 years. The food is average. I wanted to avoid the overcooked souvlaki so I recently ordered the grilled calamari, it was dissapointing. It was terribly overseasoned with what tasted like packaged, MSG filled, "all dressed" red pepper seasoning. My rice was swimming in olive oil and the salad was comparable to a Greek takeout in a mall food court. The service was terrible. Our main server was so rude, but the person who gave us our bill at the end was far more pleasant. Before leaving the restaurant, I spoke to the main server and expressed my disappointment with her unfriendly service. She seemed to be either surprised that someone thought she was unfriendly, or surprised that someone actually acknowledged what she already knew.

I liked that they didn't had too much syrup but you could still taste the strawberry b The only downside is the size of the café. It's quite small, with just a tiny table that seats two, so it's mainly suited for takeout. I'd definitely visit more often if there were more seating, since I love having a coffee spot where I can also study.

That level of care really comes through in the cup; you can taste the depth and intentionality in every sip. I ordered the vanilla bean iced latte, and it was easily one of the best espresso bases I've had in a while. The shot itself was rich and layered: deep, chocolatey, and nutty striking a really nice balance between bitterness and acidity. It finished with a smooth, almost creamy note that made the whole drink incredibly enjoyable. The only downside is the size-to-price ratio. At around CAD $8.50 for what felt like a 10 oz drink, it's definitely on the pricier side for something that goes down this easily. Still, I'd absolutely come back when I'm in the mood for a more premium coffee experience.

My cousin and I arrived shortly after opening on New Year's Eve. The cafe has a small interior with minimal seating, mostly bench seating along the wall with small round coffee tables. Even though there was only one barista working that morning, she was efficient at taking orders and making drinks despite several orders happening at once. We did not feel like we were waiting very long. I ordered a pour-over with the Finca El Paraiso Peach Colombian beans, which use a thermal shock washed process. That was something I had not heard of before. The tasting notes listed nectarine, tropical fruit, and caramel, and it was recommended since I was looking for something more out of the ordinary. I enjoyed the wilder flavor profile, but it was hard to fully appreciate because the coffee tasted overly diluted. The barista mentioned she used a 15g to 250g bean-to-water ratio, which is higher than how I normally enjoy my pour-overs. My cousin ordered a flat white with whole milk that was very creamy with strong espresso notes. We also ordered a matcha latte for my other cousin, which was apparently too creamy. Overall, the beans themselves were good, but the pour-over leaned watery for my personal preference. The bag of beans used for the pour-over was priced at $32, which is only a bit more than double the cost of the pour-over itself. In hindsight, I felt slightly ripped off and should have just bought the beans instead.

Thankfully, it wasn't too chilly, and since foot traffic was minimal, the door stayed closed for most of our visit. When we arrived, there was only one other table of two enjoying coffee. The space itself is quite small, which isn't what you'd typically expect from an Italian spot. They do have patio seating, but it's not really suitable for this time of year. That said, the service was excellent. We were promptly offered drinks, given menus, and had our order taken within a reasonable timeframe. The server also introduced us to the daily specials, kept our waters topped up, and cleared tables as needed. Our waitress was very friendly, and what appeared to be the manager also stopped by to thank us for coming. For food, we shared the sausage pizza. It's meant to be personal-sized, but we were pretty hungry. The flavors were solid, and the pizza wasn't too heavy. The crust was nicely crispy yet chewy, and the toppings were well balanced, not too much, not too little. We also noticed their pastry display; the apple muffin in particular looked tempting, though we didn't try it this time. Definitely something to come back for. All in all, a pleasant experience and a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area.
