Souvlaki Express on Mount Pleasant has branched out to a second location (seen here) at the corner of Queen and Parliament. Like the uptown location, this Souvlaki Express specializes in pork, chicken, beef and lamb souvlaki as well as gyros and saganaki.
There are times in your life you just want a big platter of greasy carbs and grilled chicken.
Souvlaki express is a great fast-food greek place. It is not high-class. The portions are huge. My husband and I can easily share a meal. The guys that work there are friendly, and both their takeout and delivery is efficient and well-packed. I have never dined in, so I have no comment on that.
Great food! Massive portions! We got two dinners and chicken souvlaki wrap. So much food. I cannot get over it. Lots of rice and potatoes but the meat tasted great and delicious.
Delivery man is old and cute :)
Will order again for sure!
Way to expensive for what you get, small portions and the feta is bad and cheap, if they cut prices in half I would consider buying it for my wifes friends. You want greek go to Greek Grill on pape, not tofar away and 100 percent better.
Good food, good price. Mostly got delivery from this place and it's always on time. Finally went to the restaurant the other night. The place is clean and the manager is very friendly. Overall, it was a pleasant visit.
Can't figure out how they make the chicken so moist. Considering the souvlaki was just $5.75 I was really happy. Generous serving of tzatziki made it even better.
We just moved in the neighborhood and were excited to try this place out. I called to place a pick up order totalling about $40 based on a menu out in our mailbox. I mentioned a coupon it had and they said that's only for delivery (coupon says nothing to that effect). So, I cancel the order. My husband calls back to see if they'll extend the coupon...they say how the delivery menu is actually... more
For a quick and easy lunch stop, this joint is expressly express. I grabbed a lamb gyro on my way to a study session and it was ready under 5.
That's a good thing right? Not necessarily.
Frankly, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad. Just meh. Your typical bastardized medi meal. I would have waited another 10 for a better meal. And that's not lacking in mt. pleasant village.
So no points for...

I wander in every time I go to Toronto for an audition. Fast service, friendly, fresh, garlicy, lots of meat, tomatoes are fresh, so is the onion...I haven't ordered anything else in the 10 times I've been there. LOL. I should I guess. But I'm always 'on the fly'. Did I mention LOTS of meat on the gyro? I look... more
We order take out from here 4-6 times a year, and it is always very good. My husband is half-greek and he loves their mousaka. I always get the gyros with extra tzaziki, and our son loves the chicken sticks.
Tony and the crew at souvlaki express are always good for a gyro and a joke or two during lunch hour, even when its jam packed with local highscool kids (the bane of my existence). All the food is freshly prepared and very reasonably priced for takeout lunch during work. The beef/lamb souvlaki is an office favourite as the well seasoned meat is surrounded by a warm pillowy pita. Deelish.
Got the souvlaki dinner. You get a TON of food for a very cheap price, but it's not the best. The chicken skewer in my order was TINY (seriously, it was like three bites worth of meat) and a little overcooked and the rice & potatoes were good, but nothing to write home about.
I guess the biggest disappointment was the greek salad dressing. It was a terrible oil & vinegar concoction. Usually...

NO matter how busy they are = on the phone, delivery orders, internet orders, eat-in or take out, they ALWAYS do a bang up job! The staff is always friendly, patient and accommodating,
Was just there tonight and got the dinner for 2.....could be for 4 but lets keep that a YELP secret!
For $31 taxes in, you get 4 meat skewers of your choice mix and match....pork, chicken, beef and perhaps...

I usually rate this place a four but I was shocked to get delivery tonight and find not two delicious chicken skewers but.....sliced chicken loaf. Did their delivery man let them down? Do they have new (stingy) owners? Not sure, but it was a big drop in class. From NHL to OHL.
Ordered takeout with friends! Potatoes were amazing. Portions for hummus and calamari could have been bigger. Also, greek salad, less vinegar!
Maybe I have set my standards a little too high... I live by the Danforth, so I know and love my Greek food. This place is just fast food quality. Nothing outstanding. It's good, but not great, and I defintiely wouldn't say it's quick. I ordered a chicken greek salad and it took about 20 minutes... You'd think it would... more
Great place to grab some Greek food to go. Prices are low, portions are good, quality is alright. Most meat dishes and the fried calamari can have too much oil or salt at times. However, the food is still yum but nothing to rave about.
I ordered food from here from my hotel when i came into town! and what can I say i was very impressed. I have ate tons of greek places and this is BY FAR the best. The rice is so fluffy and lemony and the potatoes aren't dry but full of flavor and crispy and soft inside. The desert baklava... more
Souvlaki Express is a great place to eat if you like Greek food. I was recently in Toronto at a nearby hotel and ate one meal a day there. The service is quick, the food is excellent, prices are reasonable. The menu could perhaps use a bit more variety. Still the restaurant is great for a casual, fine tasting meal.... more
So I was craving greek food before my volleyball game and hence checking out reviews I decided to check this place out. The place is a small hidden restaurant tucked right next to Shoppers Drug Mart. The interior is nothing special but they have LCD TV's as menus (makes no sense they should've spent the money on the interior). However, it makes sense since the majority of orders here are... more
Been going to Souvlaki Express consistently for over a year now. I love their chicken souvlaki. Always tastes fresh and prepared perfectly. I prefer this restaurant to the over-priced shops on the Danforth.
Working in the Yonge & Eglinton area in Toronto, you have many options to choose from. You have your fast food, your overpriced panini place, your Subways and your Thai food. But one place stands out from the rest, and that is Souvlaki Express. On any given day, you can walk into Souvlaki express and find their daily special. which... more
