This is a greek mom and pop jewel hidden away on Centre Street. The food is excellent with huge portions. The price is great and the staff is very attentive; especially Popey (the owner). Try the appetizer platter; it's enough for a meal for two!

This is one of those, that you almost hate to review because as a relatively new spot it's nice that it's not too crowded .... yet.
I have lived in Calgary all my life, travel a fair bit, and this is the best Greek food I"ve had in the city - or in any Canadian or US city.

Chose this based on proximity to Calgary airport (it isn't too far) and the other reviews. My colleague is a conservative eater, but knew that he liked Greek food, so he was up for it.
It was a Tuesday night and there were about 6-7 tables with people; not bad but not an indicator of it being excellent either.

I had the dinner here when I stay in Calgary in January, can't believe that the experience is such wonderful. First of all, the service is excellent, the waitress gave advice if you are not familiar with Greek food; and the food was delicious. There was belly dance as entertainment for free, which made the atmosphere being hot suddenly. Highly...

I brought my grandfather and husband in to eat, its a quiet looking place from the outside.The decor is warm and inviting, our waitress was absolutely wonderful. She knew the menu backwards and forwards and was very helpful and showing us the best things to try according to our tastes , and was also very good with our special requests....

Easy to get to and the waitress remembered us when we came back a few months later. The food is fantastic and the prices are reasonable.
A friend and I meet here to eat at least once a year. Very tasty food with great service. Try the veggie lasagna; great value for the money.
We have been a few times and enjoyed it each time. This evening we ordered the jumbo shrimp diner and moussaka. Others dinners were being served first. It appears there was a problem with the moussaka and another was prepared. We got complimentary ouzo for the wait. To me this is great service, fixing things instead of excuses.

You would never expect such a wonderful dining experience from looking at the restaurant's facade; don't be fooled go inside and eat the spanikopita! The restaurant owners/operators were wonderfully friendly (maybe too much so for some people's customer service preferences, but I liked feeling like part of the family).
I've driven down Centre Street hundreds of times and would never had stopped in had it not been for Trip Advisor! In fact, I didn't recognize the restaurant name until I looked at the address!
Let's start by saying that I'm not an expert on Greek cuisine. I can count on one hand the number of Greek restaurant I've been...
