Astoria Shish Kebob House Dundas Ltd

So delicious. Tom P is very friendly. Best lamb kabobs EVER!

Good Food

Good food! Fresh salad with lots of feta. The meat was tender and juicy. Big portions as per the normal greek restaurants. The servers were friendly and didn't fail to loose patience, despite us having a baby with us.

Amazing Restaurant!

This restaurant is beyond amazing! The food is spectacular! Everything about it is perfect; it's taste, it's price, and it's presentation. We decided to visit Astoria after reading rave reviews about it on here, we were glad we visited! The decor of the restaurant is really nice, very authentic with a great colour scheme. The restaurant is huge, with a big patio as well. We were able to sit wherever we wanted, so we chose a cozy booth. The server came very quickly with our menus. I have to admit, the server we had wasn't really the greatest, she wasn't very pleasant and seemed somewhat annoyed. We ordered our appetizers and waited patiently for them. They came out quickly, within about 7 minutes. The hummus dip is probably the best I have ever tasted, the pita chips that came with it were so crunchy, taste GREAT! The fried calamari was also amazing, it came with some sort of white cream sauce, whatever it was, it tasted WONDERFUL! We each decided to order the small platter of the main shish kebob meals. After our appetizers, we were brought the salads which accompanied our kebob meals. The salad was HUGE! It covered a huge plate, and it was filled with feta cheese, tomatoes, and onions. We couldn't even finish our salads because they were so big. About 10 minutes after receiving our salads, we received our kebob meals. I can't believe this was a small meal. It had about 7 huge pieces of meat, three large potatoes, and a good helping of rice. By the end of our meal, everyone was beyond stuffed we couldn't take another bite. And could you believe the kebob meals were only $15 each?! Talk about a bargain! For four of us, the tab came out to $96, not too shabby considering we ate like royalty! I highly recommend this place! The service isn't too good, but the food is definitely worth it! Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Great Customer Service!

Back in the Summer, I purchased 2 WebPiggy vouchers for 1lb tzatziki for $5. I had to be wise of when to use them 'cause we have a small household. Decided to print them out for Christmas so that I can bring them to some gatherings. Then I noticed that the vouchers had expired at the end of November...just a month ago. :( I contacted WebPiggy who suggested that I contact Astoria. (Btw, not super helpful, WP!) Astoria completely accommodated me without any problem and they were friendly to boot! I have been here a few times, and this act of customer service just makes me want to return - without any hesitation! Besides, their food is AWESOME too, so that doesn't hurt. Thank you, Astoria!

AS Good as danforth!

I had a chance to visit the danforth location first! LOVED IT thanks to a webpiggy coupon $15 for $30 worth of food! So I checked out this location closer to my house and it was just as good! I will def be a loyal customer from now on.

Excellent!

Absolutely fantastic food and the staff are just as fantastic. The food is healthy and full of flavor. The menu is extensive enough for everyone to enjoy. I particularly appreciated the extra attention from the servers. This restaurant should be on your list to experience in Mississauga! Enjoy!

Fantastic on all counts!

I go to the Mississauga location. I go in for take-out. Typically order chicken or lamb dinner w/ rice and salad. First time, the rice had too much sauce - was soggy, a bit disappointment considering the lamb was cooked to absiloute perfection and the Tzaziki was worth a chunk of gold alone. Second time, the rice was PERFECT, sauce was great, potatos were 'ok' but, the CHICKEN WAS FANTASTIC! Truly the best meat around. Salad was yummy, but they need to be careful with the dressing. LESS IS MORE!!! Lovely decor -- fresh, airy, just beautiful. My new fav restaurant. Healthier than thai, fantastic service (I always feel like a valued customer when I go!). I look forward to bringing my co-workers and family there for a nice big meal and good conversation. The older gentleman always greets me (owner?) and is just delightful. No holds barred: check it out and I highly doubt you will be disappointed! :)

They have 2 locations this one is my favourite ! always good, the one on danforth depends if its busy or not. The price is absolutely fabolous for the amount of food you get. I always have a nice lunch for the next day :) i love their food, always fresh and never over or under cooked. great taste.

This is our favorite Greek restaurant. Service is not always the best, but not the worst either. But the food is good and the atmosphere is nice.

Visited Astoria for the first time with 5 adults...

Visited Astoria for the first time with 5 adults @ 6pm on a Friday. The service was incredibly slow and inadequate. No water, difficult to get our drink orders and additonal drinks. I don't believe it was entirely the waiters fault, it appeared they were short staffed. The salads arrived soggy. I am sure that they were made at least an hour ahead of time and were sitting in the kitchen with the dressing soaking in it. Wilted lettuce is not my idea of a salad. The Calemari was cut in very large pieces and tough. It was cooked too long. The main course took forever to arrive. No additonal drinks during the wait period. Not even water. After inquiring about the food, it arrived. There were 4 orders of shish kabobs and one order of their Seafood Special (Salmon and 4 shrimp) The lamb shish kebobs were fairly good, the pork was dark on the outside and pink on the inside...looks as though they were rushing to cook it. Cooking it on the outside and not on the inside. The Salmon was a large piece. Looked very good however it was overcooked and extremely dry. A glass or too of water would have helped. I tried to search for any kind of leftover sauce that was on the table to make it more edible but gave up and left the rest. We won't return. Oh yes, you get a lot of potatoes and rice with your meal but that doesn't make a good restaurant.

Great greek

Best tzatziki I've ever found, I go back to the restaurant for that reason alone. Meat is always very good and portions are very large (more than average person can handle in one sitting).

Fantastic Food

This is THE best Greek food even better than most of what you get on The Danforth (ie Greek Town). Everything is perfectly cooked, fresh and large servings. Service is pleasant and efficient. Restaurant is clean and cozy with fireplace in winter.

Don't have to drive to Danforth anymore!

While at Astoria on Danforth, we noticed a sign promoting new locations, one of them on Dundas St. in Mississauga. Don't expect a funky patio, as it is really small with bad plastic chairs, overlooking a parking lot. (Welcome to the suburbs) What is really important is that the food is great with service to match; speedy and efficient. The portions are generous and cooked to your specs. The lamb or chicken is flavor rich and the two sides of rice, potato or fries are acceptable. Even with a small order there is enough for doggie later. We noted they can accommodate big groups for parties too!

The ONLY Place in the West End for Greek Food

Outside of the Danforth, finding good Greek food has never been easy for me. It should be simple and straight forward, but it is rare that you get a good meal. Astoria always delivers! It is one ofthe few places that can make a chicken souflaki and not ake it completely dry. The accompanying taziki sauce is excellent. The potatoes and rice are nothing to write home about, but who has room for the sides when there is so much chicken and sauce. If you're looking for a good Greek meal in the west end, look no further!
