The interior is a little cheesy but this is the best formal Greek restaurant on the Danforth. Don't miss their house salad with fresh dill, and their grilled calamari. Both are to die for.

The lineups are long but move fast. Catch the familiar view from the front window towards Pappa's Grill—you will recognize it from the movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Look for the special at the back of the menu—it is a dinner for two. It is a lot of food! They will upgrade it to Greek fries by adding feta cheese to the fries for free.
