Messini
Messini offers a range of typical Greek favourites including spanakopita, souvlaki and, of course, Gyros. Say you will about the fries in Messini's version, the restaurant certainly has no problem making its signature offering known. Whether it is indeed authentically Greek or not (the inevitable conversation that seems to spawn from a Messini Gyros mention) the Gyros, like the rest of Messini's menu, is filling and delicious, best enjoyed on its Danforth patio on a late summer night

WHO CARES WHEN YOU ACTUALLY COULD EAT 3 OF THOSE MONSTERS AND FALL ASLEEP 30 MINS AFTER ONLY TO WAKE UP IN A GARLIC HAZE BESIDE A GIRL NAMED TULA.
but i'd be up to try their gyros!
Went here last night to accompany my g/f, who belly dances. She and 2 of her friends were "hired" by the restauranteur to provide entertainment for a private party. However, after services rendered, the owner refused to pay a single dime, citing that it wasn't right to tease the customers and then leave them all hot and bothered. Excuse me??? Belly dance is an art form, not a strip show. This is a fast food Greek restaurant, not a Gentlemen's Club. The owner is a total penny pinching sleaze bag.
The customers themselves were rude, asking the women for lap dances. Again, these girls are professional belly dancers, not strippers. Ironically, this was a private function for police officers. Ban this place if you have any moral standard.
In addition, I love when the order takers do not communicate with their line cooks with respect to take out orders and then yell at customers because it is your fault for giving them your money.
Now I go to the place literally next door. The meat is better, there are never any line ups and the gyros are cheaper/bigger. People in the area consider it one of the area's best kept secrets.
