Ithaca Restaurant - Markham

My review two years ago, said it was not as good as before. Now even more so. We tried this place again last night, and which will certainly be the last. We ordered pork and lamb souvlakis. They were awful, being virtually inedible.. I left half the lamb as it was so tough and rubbery that I could hardly cut it. I suspect it was a very old 'lamb' indeed. The pork was not much better. Oh well, the next time want Greek food we will have to go elsewhere. What a shame, as the ambience is good, although quite dated, and the octopus can sometimes be OK .

This was a take out order. We ordered one chicken soulvaki dinner, 2 lamb chop dinners and tzatziki with pita. The bad first...rice and potatoes were pretty bland and not at all enjoyable, the pitas were tough as tree bark and tasted about as good. The random pieces of broccoli, cauliflower and carrot were flavourless. The good...the chicken tasted okay (just), the lamb chops were cooked nicely and were probably the best part of the meals. There was a large amount of food, too bad most of it ended up in the garbage.

We found the portions to be larger & better. More veggies & only a small portion of rice. Neither of us could finish our meals.

This is my boyfriend's favorite restaurant. He LOVES the Saganaki Opa! And honestly, so do I. Their chicken souvlaki is great and I love the escargot :) ...and the appetizer dips are really yum! I think it's family run; everyone is pleasant.

Took my family for dinner August 12, 2016. The meats were cooked nicely, but, the potatoes and veggies were bland, no Salt or spices or lemon.
