I dont know if i like it or not, i got a chicken souvlaki and gyro dinner. I was a little late on pickup because i was at the doctor in the same plaza and the guy at the counter let me know that which was probably unnecessary, because at least i showed up. The rice and chicken souvlaki was mehhh, like food court jimmy the greek style. The gyro tasted amazing. The greek salad was complete garbage, im pretty sure it went bad 3 days ago, it was not edible and brown asf. read more

Loui's Kouzina - Some gyro and some mehhh chicken souvlaki and rice - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Me and my coworker came here for lunch on a Friday and it was packed. Luckily we got seated soon. I've had my fair share of Souvlaki and I would say although Loui's Kouzina's was better than chain Greek restaurants, I've had better. The meat was succulent but in my opinion could've had a bit more flavour. The potatoes that came alongside the souvlaki also lacked flavour. We also got the 3 dip pita platter, and it was also mediocre. I've definitely had better hummus and tatsiki elsewhere. The staff were friendly but very busy running around. I would say if you are in Markham, Loui's Kouzina is a good option for Greek food, but I wouldn't make the trek here if I was in another part of the GTA. read more

Loui's Kouzina - Chicken Souvlaki - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We keep ordering from Loui's. We have been coming here for years and the quality never disappoints. We try many other places in Markham but always come back to Loui's. The only downside is that it does get Smokey in the restaurant. We usually order out to avoid smelling like restaurant. We order the gyro pita and there is so much meat. There isn't much vegetables in the gyro but we usually order the Greek salad also. We also order the fried calamari which goes in a flash once we start eating. I can't really comment on the table service since we order out but when placing the telephone order the person is always polite and friendly. I never feel rushed and I am made to feel like my order matters. read more

Incredible food!! Lovely people. Delicious and fresh. I love their chicken skewers. A go to when I'm in the area.

Really good food, authentic moussaka, beautiful presentation, good portions, great staff. read more

I've been here so many times yet I haven't checked in once or written about it. So here goes. .I consider this one of Markham's best Greek restaurant. There aren't many to choose from in Markham but it's the closest you'll get to the ones on Danforth. I agree with other Yelpers that it used to have better food and service with its original owners. The food while still good, is not the same as before. The service is where it has faulted. Gone is the chit chat friendly service. The dining room is now serviced by one Asian lady and one Indian guy. They get the job done. That's it. read more

It would have been a 4, but they got my order messed up. Completely messed up. I couldn't even say anything because it was a takeout order. I ordered the gyro small plate with potatoes. I received the pork souvlaki with fries. Yeah. Thankfully, the souvlaki was still very tender. The fries were meh. It's all good though. Tzatziki covers a multitude of sins. LOL. Portions were very large. I can eat quite a bit, but I basically have enough for another meal. The meal came with a separate container of Greek salad. It was generously topped with feta, tomato slices, and olives. The lettuce was a tad soggy, but I understand. The trip to where we ate was not a short one. Oh. They were quite generous with the pork. I have to say I was impressed. I also really liked whatever they seasoned it with. I want to say rosemary and/or thyme, but I'm not 100% certain. All in all, for a meal that cost me less than $15, I'm quite satisfied. Next time though, I'd like to get the food I asked for. read more

Slowly going down hill. The food here is a solid 3/4 depending on the day/chefs working the kitchen. Service is ATROCIOUS. This place still fails to serve me lemon in my water. I ask every time and they just don't give a single *expletive*. The same server mentioned in My last review still works here and I always somehow manage to get her. She's horrible. I don't know if it's cause she recognizes me? I'm seriously debating coming back solely because of her bitch attitude. Very unfortunate. This place was once amazing .. Management, why are you doing this to us? read more

First time walked in and the host didn't look happy at all. We sat down and another waitress came. I told her we were not ready and only one person is eating. When she walked away I can see her expression with a attitude. So we just left and will not return again. They should clean up there act!!!! read more

I went here for lunch the other day and ordered the pork souvlaki plate to go. I was quoted a 10-minute wait and the food was ready on time. The food was absolutely delicious, and the price-to-quantity ratio was very reasonable. I'll definitely be returning for lunch. read more

Loui's Kouzina - Pork souvlaki plate with potatoes (take out). - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Reasonably priced good quality Greek fare. Staff are friendly and courteous. The over all cleanliness of the restaurant is on point. Do your self a favour and don't even bother with the over priced poor quality of Astoria on major Mack. read more

I've ben here twice so far. No pictures this time because both times I was with friends and decided to focus on our conversation. The food is pretty good! Perhaps a bit pricey for what you get, but it's still good food that I wouldn't say no to. The fried calamari is crisp on the outside, well seasoned and comes with tzatziki. The Greek fries have a good mix of flavors and there's a lot of feta cheese on top, though by the end they get a little sour and soggy because of the dressing(?). The garlic butter shrimp is about 10 dollars but they give you around 5 or 6 smallish shrimp. It was good! But way too expensive for the amount of shrimp you get. I've seen my friends eat the souvlaki and while I've never tried it, the portion looks huge and it does look delicious, as well as the flaming cheese. Meals also come with toasted bread. A good place to go with a few friends, but not a huge party. There's not too much space in there. The restaurant is clean with nice, modern decor and service is good. A good place to go if you're in the area and craving Greek food! I would give this a 3.5 stars. read more

I don't eat Greek food a lot , but I know when I come across good food. The service was quick and attentive, very knowledgeable about the extensive menu Although the lamb I tried was quite tender, and juicy, I found the flavour was quite bland as it wasn't pre-seasoned or marinated, only salted... overly salted. The lamb only came in a large size, so we ordered one to share. The portions were big as they promised, the 2 of us couldn't even finish! After reading so many good reviews, I might've came in here in a bad time (Monday 3pm) .. but I would come back to give it another try. Wouldn't want to miss "best Greek place in town, hands down", or "Best Greek restaurant up in Markham" read more

Best Greek food in the northern district! But, beware if anyone has called for take-out or catering, you will be waiting A LOOOONG wait. I waited around 45 minutes for my appetizers to come. My waiter even forgot the bread. They finished cooking the take-out and got to us after the long wait. We had a movie to catch so basically just gobbled like pigs, we were late for our movie as well. Very clean, service is good, speed not so much. Good overall. read more

I was craving Greek food but did not know where to go.. thankfully I have my handy dandy yelp app! This place was so yummy and the pricing is decent too! My bf and i shared a small chicken souvlaki plate and fried calamari to start. Everything came out quickly and was delish. Can't wait to come back and try the other items on the menu! read more

Nice little Greek restaurant in a plaza dominated by franchises and Chinese food. The food is solid and portions are large. The price point is moderate, not cheap not expensive but definitely more on the good value side. Great for take-out in a busy residential area. read more

In this neck of the woods in Markham, if you're looking for Greek, look no further than Loui's Kouzina! Small venue but always busy, especially during peak lunch and dinner hours any day of the week. I'm not sure how long it's been here however I get the sense that there are a lot of loyal patrons new and old coming here. Their prices are reasonable, the portions are sufficient and the food is delish! No wonder lol The layout of the place is nice and most of all it's presentable and clean! For grub I ordered their pork souvlaki on a bun. It was more than enough to fill my never ending tummy; decadent chunks of lean, tender pork with a perfect portion of tzatziki sauce. Overall experience was great but I'll have to pay a visit for the ultimate dining experience. Good job! read more

Post-Good Friday morning, the BF and I were craving Greek food - but we were too lazy to drive all the way down to our usual spot for Greek. So this place was our fallback - since it was close by. We each ordered a souvlaki pita and split a small Greek salad. The pitas came with the souvlaki hot off the grill and the meat was nice and juicy - juicy enough that it continued to drip on to the plate when as we ate them. The salad was also quite good. It had a bit too much feta - but that is my own personal preference. The bill came in at about $ 20 for the two of us including taxes - which was great. The place is a local place to eat Greek and that saves me from going to the closest Greek chain in the area. I'll come here the next time I crave Greek food. read more

The decoration was pretty nice. Got the chicken souvlaki but it was pretty heavy (the side dish dominates the main by far). The bread given was a-ok but the souvlaki itself was good. The cheese salad was really nice but it is still not the main dish. Should think about presentation or quantity more. Although a cypress dish I think this place should get some haloumi :) really craving this in terms of greek restaruants. read more

Came for an early Friday lunch and we were quickly seated which was great as there was a group of 14 expected to arrive soon. Ordered one sm chicken souvlaki plate and one sm pork souvlaki plate, both with potatoes and greek salad. Chicken was tender, potatoes were so good and salad portion was great! I like a big veggie portion with my dishes and this one was about a third of the plate with an equally great portion of chicken and potatoes. Ate every last bite (couldn't help myself!). Service was quick, restaurant was clean and bright, and filled up completely for lunch service. Lots of photos already posted of their amazing food! read more

Came here for lunch on a weekend. Surprised the place was so empty, but during our meal, there were at least 5 ppl who came in to order take out. Pork souvlaki was nice and tender with a great char, rice and salad were very standard. I would return as the food is pretty decent, and prices are fair. read more

3.5/5 This place is a hidden gem in the plaza at Woodbine and 16th. Even on a weekday at lunch time it was extremely busy inside. There are quite a few tables and mostly all of them were full. I had my order to go so I can't really comment about the service. The lady at the cash was very friendly and quickly put my order through. There wasn't anywhere to sit and wait for your order which was kinda awkward. You either stand around the cash and block people trying to order or you block the area near the kitchen where people are bringing plates out/back. Unless there are free tables, this situation should be fixed. I ordered a veggie pita and Greek fries. The fries were soggy by the time I got home but they really piled on the feta, so that was a plus. They tasted great anyways. The veggie pita is what I was extremely disappointed in. I've ordered this at several Greek restaurants before and usually you get some grilled vegetables as well as all the toppings. This pita was literally Greek salad inside the wrap. It still tasted okay but if I wanted a Greek salad I would have ordered a Greek salad. It just had iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce (you could also choose hummus if you'd prefer). Overall, this is not a bad place. I would probably not come back as I've recently become vegetarian full time and it's a little far from me. If you are not vegetarian then I would recommend coming here. I much prefer Main Street Greek on Main St Markham road for the veggie pita. Delish! Also, for people who don't carry cash, like me, they take card! Yay! read more

Great authentic Mediterranean cuisine at a decent price. Great hidden gem and lovely family restaurant. read more

Update: I tried their homemade burger today and it was delicious! Not frozen, handmade, fresh and juicy. They had some herbs in it and great value. This is a great place with fresh and affordable lunch options. Beware to get there early as fills up fast during the busy lunch hour. Staff are very friendly and I really enjoy their Greek salad with chicken kabob. If you lunch hour is at 12, be sure to get there at 11;45 so you can get a table as it gets very busy. read more

Huge portions...can barely finish it. Good service. Comes with complimentary garlic bread read more

Loui's Kouzina - Chicken and pork souvlaki dinner - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

In love with this place! I placed an order over the phone and it was ready for pickup in 15mins! We got the chicken solvaki and the gyro plate, a gryo pita and the moussaka! All were superb and came with a greek salad! The potato sides and the rice was to die for. Never disappointed here ! I would definitely recommend! You 100% get what you pay and more ontop of it! read more

Greek food here is okay. Now I usually order takeout simply because the best food I have tried in this restaurant is chicken souvlaki on a pita. I have tried their cheesecakes as well, but they aren't that great, mostly just fattening. The reason for 3 and not 4 stars is because when I tried souvlaki on a plate here, it just doesn't do it justice like on a pita. read more

One of the best Greek places in town, hands down. No idea why this was not on Yelp before, but this hidden gem is a must try for food lovers out there. I've tried almost everything on the menu, as i frequent this restaurant, and not a single thing has every disappointed. The dip is homemade, the slovaki is fresh, and everything is made to order. The service, first and foremost, is amazing. Very friendly, and very attentive. They are always helpful with suggestions and are never seen with out a smile. My recommendations: Start off with the trio dip, comes with some nice toasted pita and three different types of home-made dip. If you want something bigger to start with, go for the quail. Takes a little longer, but so savoury, your tastebuds will wanna die. I always go for the small plate of pork slovaki, with the greek salad and veggies on the side. the Greek salad is one of the BEST greek salads i've ever had. Delicious to the very last bite. If you're still hungry after, grab one of their cakes. Although not made in house, they have a very delicious selection of cakes to choose from. One more thing, grab a coffee from them. Amazing coffee. I never go there without getting a cup or two, no matter how late in the night it is. They also have an amazing wine selection as well as some beer from Greece. If you want to get satisfied, look no further than Loui's Kouzina! read more

the restaurant was excellent. service was good, atmosphere okie. (kinda like a diner, small), packed but no line up. the raved trio was good but i would not recommend. fresh, tasty, delicious dips with fresh hot toasted pita. i believe the dips were hummus, tzatzki, and fish or flavoured like so. i find it was not worth the $10.50 sicne the tzatzki came with our dishes anyway and a diff app would have gave our meal more depth/variety. the greek salad is amazingly fresh. the overall meal was awesome for greek food, had the gyro and chicken plate. with quality instilled in every bite, it is still the typical greek selection you see at jimmy the greek and mr. greek. this is a high recommend as a hidden gem uptown and a must try b/c this will sure turn into a regular hit up for greek. our bill 45$ for two. went back recently, sept 2012, was not impressed. long wait service, food medicore this time. meh. read more

Been there for lunch a few times and it was good. Service was excellent and the place is always packed. So be ready to wait. Only complaint was recently ordered a large takeout and they missed two things. We didn't pay for it but just be sure u double check the order on the phone before hanging up. It ended working out because it was already too muh food. read more

I came here for lunch on Friday. I tried coming with a couple coworkers a few weeks before and we noticed that it gets super packed if you arrive after 12, so this time we made sure we got there before 12 and lucky for us we got a seat right away. The seating area is pretty small so if you're coming alone or with one other, it makes sense to get take out. I got the chicken souvlaki (small plate) with potatoes as my side and it was good. Tho it wasn't anything amazing. The portion is a pretty good size for a small (you get two sticks of souvlaki) and a pretty big Greek salad. They also give you bread to start so I was pretty content at least. But like I said, it's nothing special but good if you wanna satisfy that Greek fix. read more

Service seems better so I am updating my review. We gave them another try and they were able to bring out the child's order prior to the adult (unlike our last visit where our hungry child had to eat the adult order first because the child's order wasn't ready). Grilled calamari is a favourite of ours! read more

As close as you can get to the Danforth without hopping on the 404/DVP and driving for half an hour. Really tasty and nicely seasoned souvlaki, very good sides, and excellent prices. I normally stick with the basic chicken souvlaki dinner and I am never disappointed. If I am hungrier, I'll go with the large plate but its a lot of food! Great little restaurant in an otherwise asian food-dominat area. read more

Eatin here several times. Food is good. Usually get por/chicken souvlaki, Greeks village salad, dips with pita bread and grilled calamari. They all taste yummy, never disappointed. read more

Loui's Kouzina - Chicken - Cafes Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This review is for my second time here. Nothing fancy. I feel like it's more of a takeout place than anything, so I do not recommend dining at Loui's. The service is really, really disappointing. The server seems forced to do his job, and is never around to refill water or otherwise. The food is good and filling, but overall, this place was only average. read more

Best Greek food in all of anywhere! Flavor danger! I usually get the gyro dinner with rice (potato is good too) it comes with salad and garlic bread. The chicken is also good! Very consistent! It doesn't matter what time you go it always tastes amazing every time. Great portion/value especially when it tastes so good!! The gyro is cooked to perfection and the meat is top quality throughout the entire piece; no hard or unchewable parts! read more

Been going to this place for years. Great food, big portions. Can't​ find better Greek food in Markham.

Quick courteous service, delicious authentic Greek food, decent portions , reasonably priced, good deal for York Region! Had the small gyros plate with Greek salad and rice, meat was juicy and flavourful, rice was perfectly cooked with a savoury sauce on top and salad had lotsa feta YUMM! Could have used more tsaziki but I say that everywhere ! read more
