"NOBODY DARES TO COMPETE WITH US", says a bold statement in the front window. Located on the Danforth, that's a bit hard to believe - still, they're often busy up to 5am on weekends and 4am during the week. Some people go here exclusively for their Greek fries - they place saran wrap on a plastic tray and fill it with fries dabbed in olive oil, feta cheese and oregano. Although tasty, it's pretty poor presentation. Also over the last few years they've gotten skimpy on the portions. Gyro pitas range from $5 - $7.

I lived in Toronto a few years back, I had the gyro once it was bad. I went back a few months later to give them the benefit of the doubt and it was still horrible, I actually threw it out. I hate throwing food out and I'll usually finish my meal even if I'm not enjoying it but this was bad. And I'm Greek, I have been to Greece plenty of times and I've had good gyro in a bunch of places in Montreal but this was just bad.
I have a feeling some people are other restaurant owners looking to badmouth them. For as long as I can remember, (and Ive been eating there for years) I have never seen a mousetrap, nor have I seen them "prepare a salad." Its premade, and they serve everything with tongs. Some of the claims made are extremely exaggerated.
If it was as dirty as some of you claim, "mousetraps everywhere" how do they keep passing the health inspection?
If the food was as bad as some of you claim, why is the place lined up at almost all hours of the day, and why has it been there for years?
Sorry it really seems that you guys are either food snobs, similar to movie critics who cant enjoy a good action flick, or you are owners of other businesses in the area looking to bad mouth them.
The only redeeming value this place has over all the others is that they stay open all night.
