Best moussaka take-out in T/O?

Simple as that, it's cold outside and it's one of my favourite dishes. Can't be bothered to make it though, just looking for take-out right now (but if that clause makes me miss something unbelievable, let me know of a restaurant where it can't be beat). Thanks!

    The absolute best moussaka in the city is at Musa, at Dundas and Euclid (that's just west of Bathurst). The chef/owner's Mama makes it. Really.

      Select Bakery on Donlands Avenue makes their own which they sell frozen and they are fabulous. They come in 2 sizes. The regular would feed 3 to 4 people and the large at least double that. I've served it a few times now and everyone loved it. They also have pastisio which is just as good, if not better. With a side salad and some bread - life is good.

        Thanks for this millygirl - I'm always looking for new freezer stash options in the area. Anything else worth trying at Select while I'm there?

          Yes in fact I was going to mention their spankopita. It's also sold frozen on a tin foil tray - excellent for parties. Just sprinkle a bit of cold water on top of the filo and bake in oven. The water crisps it up nicely. Let me know what you think. Ohhh, wish I had some moussaka right now. Enjoy!

          Oh 'millygirl'....you've given me something to dream about while I'm in JA...I love Pastisio! I will definitely call them when I get back...I also love Spanokopita as well...so thank you for giving this information! Might I trouble you for the address/phone number? The retired owners Kay and Dennis of the 'old'" People's Foods" on Dupont used to make(cater) it for me as a special favour but we seem to have lost touch since they retired.....thank you millygirl!

              The moussaka I had at Pantheon on Danforth @ Chester was incredible. If you're bored look for my review, I had a really good dining experience there at Pantheon which may be worth spending an evening checking out if you do find yourself willing to travel and sit!

            I tried the Moussaka from Select Bakery tonight on this recommendation. It's good but not great. I would get it again - the convenience of it is great. But I've had better...
