Honestly haven’t been able to find a Greek place where I’ve enjoyed their food since moving to Ottawa as much as the little place I used to work until I found this place. The tzatziki is to die for, their pitas come with so much on them, their spiro sauce and rice is great and their portions are amazing. I’m always impressed every time I get delivery from them. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing food, and amazing service. All the ingredients look and taste fresh, and the amount of food you get makes it worth every penny. The seating area is a bit tight, but I could see why it's a challenge given the shape of the dining area.
This was a good eat. The chicken was a little bitter/burnt tasting but overall, I enjoyed my chicken soulvaki.

For Greek food, this isn't bad. Portions are pretty big but relative to the price, it's fair.
A small restaurant with 5 tables and seating up to 20. The staff themselves are helpful and prompt.
Souvlaki Classic Pork Platter With Side salad, Potatoes & FRIES $21.95
The pork tasted good, but was a bit hard. Not sure if it was just over cooked.
Traditional Beef Gyro with Side salad, Rice & Potatoes $23.95
The beef was seasoned well and was tender (minced beef after all....)
The rice and potatos was ok. The fries weren't bad. The salad was quite good.
Overall a decent meal for someone hungry. Parking is limited as it's shared with the other restaurants in the plaza.

The lamb was cooked to perfection! The food and service were both 5 stars. The food came quickly. Highly recommend and will visit again! Thank you for the amazing food!
I had a craving to eat some Greek food. So I searched Google maps for restaurants that had high 4.6 star rating. The Greek Souvlaki House was at the top of the list. I ordered a Greek salad and the beef souvlaki platter. I was happy with my choice, it was delicious! The meat was properly cooked to medium rare, the tzatzik creamy yogurt had a good balance of garlic and the greek salad was good. Service was great and the whole dining experience was awesome. Costs for my meal was fair and serving sizes were good.
Update: I have been back several time ordering the lamb and pork souvlaki dinners and I am happy to report that every meal was awesome.
I think you will like the Greek Souvlaki House. Also I noticed that there were lots of people ordering through the delivery aps.
If you like my reviews, photos or videos yell out opa and give a thumbs up.

Ordered 4 main platters and 4 sides for a family of 6. I went and picked it up myself because I was outside their delivery area.
The food was hot by the time I got it back home on the table.
The appetizers were all fantastic. The Hummus and the Tzatziki were to die for. The only setback was the calamari. It was not fresh and soggy. I always like to try a menu item that's not popular and see if there's a hidden gem, but this was a miss.
Every main platter was absolutely amazing. The lamb, the chicken breasts and the chicken souvlaki were all perfectly seasoned, juicy and tender. The rice and lemon potatoes were heavenly and in very generous amounts.
Plenty of leftovers, and they were still delicious the next day.
The platters prices were very reasonable but the appetizers were a bit pricey. You can skip the appetizers altogether and still get a very decent full meal for less than $13. Main platters come with a tiny sides (dipping sauce size) of Hummus and Tzatziki.
I'll keep this on my list for the days we get tired of butter chicken, but still crave rice and chicken or lamb.

I was impressed. Don't let the simple atmosphere or average price trick you - the food is in large quantity and is done PERFECTLY.
We had Calamari with Tazziki, salad, chicken, beef, baked potato and home fries and a baklava.
I shared the following with the owner, and he passively nodded. I am not crazy about the rice as it is plain, I would ask them to put the sauce (which they put on the rice aside) as It is spicy and the taste doesn't go well with everything else (at least for me).
But for the price, distance and freshness it deserves 4/5.
