The Greek Souvlaki Shack - Ottawa

My friend and I ordered the pitas and the Greek fries. The ingredients were fresh and the fries were delish!! The olive oil they put ties the dish together. The service was rapid and friendly. The ambiance is a no frills type of place with tasty food. It's a small local gem that I will definitely go back again and try something else on the menu.

One of my favourite go-tos in neighbourhood! Great food and lovely staff (I believe it is family-owned and operated).

After having spent a month this past summer backpacking all over Greece and growing up going to Marven's regularly in Park Ex. in Montreal, I think I can safely say I know amazing Greek lamb chops when I have them and the lamb chops here are THE BOMB. Flavorful, zesty and so soft they are almost falling off the bone, you cannot go wrong with these lamb chops. The salad is super-fresh and plentiful, the rice wasn't glutinous at all but also fluffy and flavourful, the potato wedges were on point and the tzatiki sauce was perfect. I'm sure when I come back to Ottawa I'll eat here again and look forward to trying out their souvlaki pita sandwich, calamari and octopus. The service is exceptionally friendly and warm which in a city like Ottawa isn't exactly known for hospitality, is reason enough to come here. It's nice to see Ottawa's food culture is finally changing.

Oh my gosh. This family run business is a true gem that shines above the rest. I cannot say enough amazing things about them. From a stunning and savvy woman to a great husband and the most amazing daughter this family run business truly deserves more attention I am a father from Toronto and was travelling with my oldest daughters competitive swim team. The kids really wanted some great home style Greek food for dinner. I did some research and came across this amazing place. The service is 5 star service. I cannot say enough about how attentive to detail they all were. The staff knew our order. And the daughter was so sweet to deal with. As a father of 3 girls I have a soft spot for family run businesses but love it even more when you encounter such respectful children towards their parents. The ordering was soooo easy. I was guided to perfection. In fact we had soooo much extra food that the kids ate the next day on the bus ride home. Their chicken skewers were cooked to perfection. Which is a challenge when you order for almost 50 people. They were juicy succulent and just amazing. We ordered some lamb for the adults. My only regret was that we didn't order more. Oh my gosh they were out of this world. Perfectly cooked. They added extras for us at no charge which was such an amazing touch. Delivered for free and the family came themselves to greet us. Everything was perfect. The salads were fresh The rice was cooked perfectly And the tzatziki was clearly homemade and oh my gosh amazing. When I come back to Ottawa I will absolutely go eat here. I rarely give an overwhelming 5 stars but this place deserves it. If I could I would give bonus stars for customer service. What more do you want? Amazing customer experience. Fantastic customer service. Outstanding and amazing food. All served by such a beautiful and amazing family. This is what it means to be Canadian in my opinion. I am so happy we took the chance on your place without having trying the food before. Your crushed ever single expectation in every single category. And you made me look soooo good in the eyes of the entire swim team. By the way: I hate to say this but you guys should charge more for your food. Your value far surpasses your price. It almost felt that you under charged us for how authentic your food is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I strongly recommend anyone reading this check them out. If you are disappointed I will pay for your meal. (That's how sure I am you'll love their food). You absolutely need to check them out.

The restaurant serves authentic Greek food! The staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable. On our table, we tried the chicken, shrimp and pork platter. I definitely think they were a hit! Be sure not to overlook this place as you walk by Bank street!
