We were personally served by Louie, whose hospitality made the entire evening unforgettable. He recommended an exceptional Greek Cabernet Sauvignon wine, along with some of the most delicious Greek appetizers, main platters, and desserts we have ever had. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere welcoming, and the service truly amazing. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Greek dining experience in Calgary.

TL;DR: Don't go on a Friday night…read more The place is tiny and super loud, it's almost impossible to have a conversation. Tables are packed so close together you can practically share appetizers with strangers. If you're a fish lover, you'll probably be fine; but for those of us who don't eat fish (or just hate the smell), it's rough. The whole place reeks, and it's not pleasant. Food itself? Pretty good. Service? Brutally slow. We waited about 40 minutes for our dishes. When the pork souvlaki finally arrived, the server wasn't even sure if it was chicken or pork and just left it up to us to figure it out. Also, fair warning: they have a dish they flame up tableside with zero notice. Nearly singed my ears off. I get that when the restaurant is not packed is amazing. But tonight, they dropped the ball. Hard. That said, not coming back, ever, again.

One of the best Greek food I ever had. The owner and…read morewaitress/waiters are very interesting and friendly. The environment is home like but still elegant somehow.. Price is great for what you get. I ordered seafood platter and lamb & rice. Seafood was as fresh as you can get in Alberta. Calamaris are cooked to perfect crispness and the batter on them are not too thick, just enough to give that light and buttery feeling. The lamb dish was incredible...the meat was so tender, it break a part so easily just by a spoon or a fork lightly touch it. The seasoning on it are so on point, you feel you are setting in one of the bank house in Greek. Even the rice was flavoured and cooked impressively. The deserts were unbelievable. I am not a big sweet tooth, but I had to try everything they offered, because they looks just way too good. The owner actually gave us free desert since some of us from really far away and someone had a personal connection with Greek. I am really happy for the experience I had in this restaurant.

I think a Greek restaurant should make a good hummus but the amount given was a shock, basically a big table spoon. Normally you would have to ask for more pita this was the opposite. It's a small town so there might not be any other Greek places, so enjoy

The french fries were perfectly crispy and the feta cheese balanced out the saltiness for me. We actually came back here before our flight back home and got the shawarmas!

My husband and I wandered far from home to attend a wedding rehearsal and were searching for a…read moreplace to have a late supper(even on a Friday night, a lot of restaurants close at 9pm). After a misdirected turn from Google Maps into a condo complex, we stumbled into this unassuming Greek restaurant. Our server, Ana, greeted us like old friends and we were promptly seated by a beautifully decorated wall with enlarged photos of Greece. We ordered the Dinner Platter for 2 which included moussaka, chicken and lamb souvlaki, tzatziki, spanakopita, calamari, tiropita, rice and potatoes. The chicken and lamb souvlaki was tender and well seasoned and the lightly breaded calamari just melted like butter in your mouth. Plaka also makes the best spanakopita and tiropita that I've ever tasted -- the Feta is imported from Greece, so it has a distinct taste/texture that differs from the briny North American Feta. The Boutari Cambas (white) with light, crisp notes was the perfect accompaniment to our platter. To finish our feast, we shared a bougatsa(warm phyllo wrapped custard) -- delicious and not too sweet! We left with full stomachs and warmed hearts!

I ordered one of everything on the menu- not even kidding and you can tell from my photos! The calamari was amazing. The last time we had calamari was at double zero in Chinook and it was horrible. It turned us off of calamari but this reclaimed it. However, one star is lost because there was WAY too much Parmesan on the friend zucchini and lastly another star was lost because the meat of all the plates was WAY too salty. However, an extra star was gained because the roast potatoes were SO amazing and lemony!

Much like Jess B. mentioned in the 2/23/25 review, I came in expecting a great Greek breakfast but ended up with something that felt more like a standard diner experience. That said, the young woman who greeted and served us was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the meal. I ordered the pancakes with eggs. The pancakes were far too doughy and oddly topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and bananas -- a presentation that felt more suited to a child's menu than an adult breakfast order. Want to put a cute topping on my cakes - you should ask me. They were also overcooked, as was the over-hard egg. At one point I even joked to my girlfriend that it felt like there must be a college kid running the kitchen. The service saved the experience, but the food definitely needs improvement.
