One of the best Greek food I had in Toronto.

We decided to come here for my partner's bday celebration as this place has a long history and has…read morebeen a stable in this community area in the Danforth for quite a while, so we were excited to taste some authentic Greek. We booked our reservation through their online phone system which was kind of unique as it takes down her info and number and time we wish to reserve for.... Our whole group arrived promptly for dinner on the weekday and was greeted at the front who appeared to be the owner with glasses. We told him our reservation name and time and info, and he checked but for some reason couldn't locate our info, but eventually found it... We were seated and because it was 7pm, it was busy... We sat there waiting for someone to greet us or to receive menus... Nothing for over 10+ minutes. We've seen new people come in and they got menu, water and bread pretty fast.. We were starting to wonder is it because we're not Greek or something to not get any attention... Then, our server informed us that he'll be with us but he was quite busy, so we understood... Poor guy didn't have the support staff to help him accordingly... Eventually, we got some water, we got menu's and we got some bread, so we ordered the following... Fried Calamari- $26+ - They have grilled or fried option, and really, can't go wrong with either one, but we got the fried version and it tasted quite good and fresh... It came with a small little cup sauce of tsitsiki. Cheese Saganaki- $19+ - An older gentlemen would come out with this hot pan with cheese and he'll pour some liquid on it which will make it flambee, so that is interesting but also a bit of a fire hazard if it catches someone nearby... - The cheese can be said to be salty, a bit sour, and would be fitting to enjoy on some bread that you're given with some butter... Eating on its own is okay. For mains, my bro got the meat entrees which consists of lamb chops, grilled chicken kabob, and sausage for $33+ and it comes with side greek salad and steamed veggies and roast potatoes. My partner got the pan fried cod fish with cold potato mash.. I believe its $30+... The fried cod fish tasted like salted fish in a sense, but a bit dry for our liking... Not sure it paired well with cold potato mash though. Lastly, we got the grilled octopus tentacles with side greek salad, and roast potatoes and steam veggies for $36+. - My bro gf and I both got the same dish, and when we ate the grilled octopus, it didn't taste fresh and the texture was not good. We didn't really mentioned anything until the end because our server was quite busy... They mentioned their seafood is fresh every two days or so, but we can tell the difference between the calamari freshness versus the octopus... We didn't want anything, but thought to share this concern as they admitted there was another table that expressed this as well... We didn't want anything out of it, but just sharing our experience really... As a proactive owner, they should realize this and know the correct resolution to ensure customer satisfaction, but basically disappeared. One thing to note, we gave the front desk owner our bday cake, which we'd assume they'd put it in a fridge to keep it cool or something, but they didn't, so when we got our cake at the end, it melted and was quite a disappointment... It appears this owner not only lack the basic services to customers and attention, but doesn't realize birthday cakes should be in the fridge to keep the consistency to enjoy after... For spending close to $300, you'd think this staple establishment would be a wow factor for services, food and quality... We can say, the only real effort came from our server trying to salvage the night and all, but still the lack of care from the owner really show this isn't the place to be and to consider elsewhere. Overall, the highlight was the calamari, greek salad... Everything else wasn't really much to brag about or stood out.

Overall food is basic. The food took over 30mins to come out. I got the pork Slovakia dinner but…read moremajority was just fat. What really made me mad was when I wanted just water but the sneakily didn't ask if I want tab or bottle. They just did bottle. Didn't bring out the bottle the first round and charged me. I asked for a refill then they show me that it was bottle water. Charging me $12 for something I didn't order but had to pay since I drank it without knowing. Ambiance not so good outside. Within 10 min a homeless just walks up asking me for money and when kids asking to take the bread from my basket. No waiters outside to help the situation. Never going back. Sneaky and food wasn't impressive enough for me to forgive the water situation.

Today i ordered the small kria plate (think a mix of four types of hummus like substances) with the extra naan (always get the extra naan!) I've been to a number of greek restaurants in my day and no one does the kria platter quite like here. For my main, i ordered the octopus appetizer. Don't let it being an appetizer fool you, that octopus is one meaty boy! Service was great as usual. No water pitcher was left empty!

I took a patio table as the weather was nice and it's all covered anyways. It was packed and a little loud but not uncomfortably so. Great wine selection, some great drinks available as well. I ordered the Lamb Souvlaki dinner, it came with a side salad, potatoes and rice. Server made sure to time the arrival of all dinner components well with my salad arriving just as I finished the saganaki. Everything tasted great, lamb was cooked to my requested temp, I got unlimited tzatziki which was amazing. Service was friendly and attentive, definitely recommend for your next dinner date for sure!

Ordered takeout for a family dinner, so while we can't speak to the restaurant's cleanliness or…read moreservice, the food was very tasy! Chicken souvlaki is cut small so it's easier to eat. Potatoes were some of the best greek potatoes i have ever had-- and I'm not usually crazy about greek potatoes! My only two critiques are: Calamari was super oily-- makes it tasty but also half the package was oil! As well, the tzatziki was more like sour cream in that it was creamy, white, and while it boasted a good flavour, it had little in the way of those refreshing cucumber/herb bits.

New Greek spot on the Danforth. Stopped in for dinner and got:…read more- Melitzanosalata: The eggplant was smooth and had a garlicky kick to it. - Kalamarakia: The fried calamari had a smoky taste that went well with the tzatziki. - Grilled Octopus: Octopus was a bit rubbery and it was a small portion size. - Saganaki Feta: This wasn't the usual flaming saganaki. Instead it was a block of feta cheese covered in toasted honey and sesame seeds. Really tasty! - Seafood Linguine: Hearty pasta, good flavour with the tomato sauce, would have liked more seafood. - Greek Old Fashioned and Negroni: Alcohol was fairly priced. They also added a couple of shots of mastika on the house! Bonus points for the lively vibe, spacious seating, and friendly service at the this spot. While the Danforth is filled with Greek restaurants, this is one of the better ones.

I decided to go with the Pork Gyro Pita ("Wrapped with Tzatziki, Tomatoes, Onions, and Fries"). It was ready within minutes and I sat down to dig in. I opened the container it came in and grabbed the pita and a bunch of meat immediately fell onto the table. Likewise, the wrap was so haphazardly closed up and packaged that it was impossible to eat that way. I wound up using a plastic fork for most of it. That problem aside, this is one seriously tasty concoction. The pork pieces boast a crispy, crusty texture that I found irresistible. I could eat that stuff all day. The other components are equally good, too. I'm sure I'll return to Aristos but next time I'll forgo the pita.

AWESOME FAMILY RESTAURANT AND VERY REASONABLE PRICE!…read more We've been to quite a few restaurants along Danforth since it's more convenient, and we thought - why don't we go a bit farther from the major intersection and see how it goes? I'm glad we did and what a great experience at Pape Village! I'd admit we aren't too familiar with Greek cuisine so it took us a while to go over the menu and had to ask a bunch of questions. It was a busy night (even though it was early on a weeknight), but the staff was very patient in answering our questions and gave us some good ideas. Unlike some other places in the area, they didn't rush us in placing the order at all and we appreciated that very much! We started with two appetizers: taramosalata (a fish roe dip) and fried calamari. The dip was great - the typical good quality you'd expect from a decent restaurant. What really surprised us was the fried calamari - it was perfectly deep fried with thin batter, and the squid was so tender :) Then, we ran into a "challenge" - we were sort of half full by that time, and judging by the food portion from other guests, we decided to order just one main course to share. It turns out to be a great decision as the main course was HUGE!!! We wanted to order the Kontosouvli Pork, but it's only available during weekend thus we ordered Pork Souvlaki instead. The pork was nicely grilled - super tender and juicy. Given the high food quality and excellent services, the price was more than reasonable. We'll definitely visit again, probably during weekend in order to try the Kontosouvli Pork :)

Came here for dinner and got: - Dip Combo of tzaziki, taramosalata (fish roe), tirokafteri (spicy feta cheese) and roasted eggplant: Easy standout was the eggplant, with its distinct flavour and interesting texture. The other dips were generically smooth and standard tasting. - Salted Cod: When they say salted, they mean it to a too-much degree. This was basically salt in fish form, if the fish was also a bit rubbery. Side garlic mash, though lumpy, at least helped valance the extreme saltiness a bit. - Grilled Octopus: Standard grilled taste, a bit rubbery. Base salad it sat on was forgettable. Service was efficient and friendly. While we were there, it was filled with diners who seemed to be enjoying their meals tremendously, and who definitely seemed liked they'd continue the long line of folks who give Pape Village glowing reviews. So if you like Greek food and want to support a small business, drop by since I may just be in the minority here.
