      Avoid Mr. Greek at all cost. Went there once and the food was blah. I think it is one of the most underwhelming meals I have ever eaten. The souvalki was blah the taziki (sp?) was basically plain yogurt. We had some app and I can't remember what it was I just remember that by the time we finished it I knew that meal was going to suck.

        It's quite nicer than Mr. Greeks and, for almost the same $$ you need to try Ikaros which is on Yonge st, south of Eglinton across from the St.Louis wings place.

          There's a greek restaurant on the south side of Eglinton just east of Yonge. I pass by it everyday but the name escapes me. It's where Il Fornello used to be a few years ago.

          I've been to aforementioned Souvlaki Express a couple of times and likewise had good meals.

            I think that's Mr. Greek just east of Yonge. There's a higher quality new Greek restaurant on Yonge several blocks south of Eglinton, called Ikaros (I think that's the name--haven't been).

            My son always gets his chicken souvlaki dinners from Souvlaki Express on Mt. Pleasant, just south of Eglinton. A good, passable dinner.
