It’s All Grk

The pork gyro dinner comes with 4 slices of freshly grilled pita bread, tzatziki sauce, rice, potatoes, and salad– this is easily enough for two people to share! A much-​loved budget dinner in the Annex.

Overpriced Tasteless food. Waste of money. The portion sizes are tiny and didn’t even taste good. $ 14 dollars for this messily chicken salad? Give me a break. Avoid this place and take the subway to Greektown.

This place has been in my neighborhood for a while now and this is my first time here. I am very impressed so far. I love the design and overall atmosphere, the Edison lights with bright cords are funky and industrial. The food is very high quality and great portions. I got a chicken plate and they let me substitute potatoes for fries & slaw. The guy behind the counter was warm, friendly and genuine. I will definitely be back.

Greek fries. Extra fetta. This place is great for a mid day snack or an enormous meal. Whatever you order it’s probably going to be really good

Since my last review, I have been back a number of times. The bimbo on the cash has not been there and there have been no other hiccups. Food has been consistent each and every time, and while it might be a few dollars more than the place around the corner, THE FOOD IS GOOD AND CONSISTENT. You know what you’re getting when you walk into this place. Portions are huge too — I’ve ordered the gyro but also the piato and a salad with a side of pork gyro — the latter two can easily be split into two meals. Ingredients are fresh ALWAYS, pita is never stale, hands down, I’d recommend this place ¹⁰⁄₁₀ times.

It’s All GR8! A little pricey but good portions and quality ingredients. Definitely coming back!

These guys skimp on the portions big time. The gyro was alright at best, but what’s the point when you have to spend $ 20 on two orders just to get a decent portion. Do yourself a favour and walk the 30 steps around the corner to O G Grill.

recently started working in the area and have tried both this place and Original Gyro around the corner on Walmer.
Original Gyro wins hands down on every level. Better value, quality, portion size, flavour, wait time and customer service.
Don’t waste your time or money here unless you like dry meat with several fatty pieces heavily seasoned with oregano in your gyro. ick.
2 stars for the décor and tzatziki only.

There’s so much good here, so I’m really disappointed that the owners of this place have decided to skimp on one of the most important parts of running restaurants: staff training and customer service.
The low star ratings are not without merit. Although the décor in this restaurant is really stylish, the food very tasty and the prices pretty reasonable, it’s obvious that the staff that work here are incredibly unhappy and overworked.
I’ve been here a couple of times and each time it’s staffed by younger girls with only one person actually doing the cooking. During the lunch rush hour it’s just a mess. So many people are standing and in the way waiting for their food because it’s taking too long. Nothing is really served in order because often times the person on cash gets overwhelmed and forgets to call out orders.
This place could be fantastic, but the staff here need to be treated better and trained a bit more.

Order:
First time: Chicken Gyro
Second time: Chicken dinner, which includes: rice, 4 potatoes, coleslaw with no dressing, a lettuce based salad with minimal balsamic and minimal feta, lemon wedge, 1 pita quartered, tzatziki, and chicken shaved from the split.
My background in Greek food: I have had Greek for a very long time in many restaurants…
Ambiance: Great. Seems clean. Well lit. Seating available. The music makes making calls difficult.
Staff: Thought the staff were friendly and informative, especially when I enquired what a piata is. HOWEVER, there was no one out front the both times I came.
Cutlery: Plastic fork and knife. Served in a silver tray, with paper (waxed?) at the bottom.
General comment: No lamb from the split. Only available as a patty I think. The souvlaki is made to order, which means the wait time will be longer.
Best Greek in Toronto? No — that title still belongs to Messini’s.
Chicken Gyro (~$ 9):
Pros: Yummy in general. Extra tzatziki on the house for gyros.
Cons: Occasionally pieces of dry chicken or fat. Very little onion was given. Overpriced — almost $ 9 after taxes.
Chicken dinner (~$ 20, with extra tzatziki): (equivalent to the price of almost two lamb dinners at Jimmy the Greek!)
Contrary to other reviews, as a fit GUY weighing 160lbs, I thought the serving was just appropriate, albeit I could have ate more. For $ 20, I thought they would give more food… Feel this is overpriced for what it gave (see chicken portion details below)
Rice: Plentiful and easy to eat (not dry). Grain is smaller compared to Jimmy the Greek. Score.
4 potato pieces: definitely on the small portion side. You’ll know what I mean if you’ve been to Messini’s.
Coleslaw: just a wee bit dry. Would be inedible without the lemon.
Lettuce Salad: Not the traditional greek salad that has peppers and stuff. Skimped out on the feta and I was given no onion (really? how much could a wee bit of onion cost…). The amount of balsamic vinegar was so little it did not affect the taste of the salad.
Lemon: I don’t know if it’s just me, but I thought the lemon was a little hard to squeeze, probably due to how they cut it. But essential if you want to down the coleslaw.
1 pita, quartered: The pita was absolutely wonderful — trumping the ones they serve at Messini’s. It was warm & soft. Perfect texture. Score.
Chicken, shaved from the split: I compared my portion of chicken to another reviewer’s portion. My portion was HALF the size. They skimped out on the chicken big time. Like the gyro, had dry pieces and the occasional piece of fat. Meat was on the dry side.
Extra tzatziki (+$ 1.25): I personally feel an extra side is necessary to pair with the measly portion of chicken and the pita… But excellent tzatziki nonetheless.

Honestly, walk a few more steps and go to the O. G Grill at Walmer and Bloor where your meal will actually come with potatoes, warm pita, huge servings, and a proper salad.
The menu here is more expensive than it should be. The dinners are skimped on — standard fries and a boring salad accompany the meat. Leaves much to be desired.

Good portions, great service, fast and delicious! And it has real Greek salad! I recommend this place especially for university of Toronto students who have very limited access to good food (I.e. Robarts café). Also the feta fries is to die for! Enjoy!

Shitty service. The two counter girls I have encountered here both clearly hate their job. I’ve been here a few times, while the food is decent, I expect the service to be quality too, for the price I am paying. The most recent and final time I went here, I phone ordered for pick up and when I went to pick it up, my order was completely wrong. Instead of offering to fix it, the girl at the counter began to blame me and kept saying ‘well this is what I heard you say on the phone.’ When I asked her if she could make what I originally ordered, she said that she couldn’t because they were out of that particular product at the time. They probably just cooked the wrong thing because they didn’t even have what I originally ordered but just decided not to tell me. I couldn’t believe how rude and argumentative this girl was, and didn’t even bother to apologize.
The other cashier I had encountered here previously always had a sour look on her face and made it seem like I was greatly inconveniencing her when I asked questions about the food. The first time I went there and inquired about my food allergies, she rolled her eyes and didn’t initially give me an answer until I asked again.
Needless to say, I will not be back here. They clearly don’t care to retain customers. Good customer service goes a long way, and I would rather travel a bit further out of my way, to spend money in an establishment that actually seems like they want me to be there.

I have walked by It’s all Grk on Bloor so many times but never went in so today I wanted to change that. The décor and atmosphere caught my eye right away. I loved the modern twist with traditional Greek food packages adorning the walls.
I talked with the cashier for a bit and she was so nice! My only qualm was that the debit machine was broken so I had to go a bit out of my way to get cash, but that wasn’t really too big of a problem.
I ordered the chicken plate to go, and it was ready under 5 min which was great. The plate came with chicken, pita, coleslaw and fries. At first I though the price was a little bit steep at 13 $ but when I saw how much food it actually was, the price was worth it.
The meal itself was very good! I wasn’t used to having coleslaw with greek food as I was expecting a greek salad or olives but I still enjoyed it.
Over all I would go back to try what else they have!
Yum.

Stopped by It’s All Grk to get take out. Space was nice and clean, lots of counter height tables & seating.
Ordered the chicken dinner (was hoping for lamb, but they don’t offer it). It came with 3 sticks of chicken, rice, potatoes, slaw, pita and salad. It’s a little over $ 20 but more than enough for 2 people. The chicken was very tender and moist plus the tzatziki and potatoes were very flavourful.
Food was ready in 10 minutes. The lady at cash was nice and lovely same as the lady in the open kitchen. But… and this is where they get –1 star… Pouty McGrumpy-​Pants loudly checking /​shaking the tip can right in front of me. Noh Tip Forrr You!
Also, –0.5 star for no lamb option
3.5 stars
Decent alternative amongst the sea of sushi joints in the area.

I wasn’t too impressed. I was looking for lamb, however, they didn’t offer it yet. There were plenty of other choices but that’s not what I wanted. Instead I went with some kind of beef gyro that was basically two very dry, tasteless hamburger patties.

A newly opened restaurant. I ordered the chicken plate. The Chicken was extremely dry and the plate lacks flavour in general. It was pretty busy for a weekday night and lot of people were taking out. I complained about the chicken and was immediately given another side of chicken. It was still very dry and all had very thick «crust» from maybe sitting on the grill for too long.

Was in the area for a dental appointment and I walked by It’s All Grk. It’s like a Greek eatery for the young and hip. The dining area has high chairs only; my 4’11 mum had difficulty sitting on the high chairs so she ended up just standing beside me. I really like the look of this place; it’s modern chic unlike some of the places on the Danforth that have an outdated look. The food was nothing to write home about considering the price. I ordered the spanokopita (sp?) for $ 5; it was so greasy that I threw it out after a few bites (I can HANDLE greasy food too!). The chicken gyro was large, but extremely dry. Anyway, if I want a gyro wrap, I don’t think that I’ll take the trip to the Annex for it.
Good for: Greek food

If you enjoy souvlaki that’s essentially a skewer of grilled fat, this might be the place for you. Super disappointing experience all around: order a chicken souvlaki, am told they’re sold out of chicken. Okay, I get the pork. I have to ask what it comes with — fine — except for the part about the French fries which you probably should mention to people.
3 minutes after I order I hear the cashier call out a chicken order. I ask and she says «oh yeah now we have chicken ready». Um, okay, can I have chicken then? Nope, yours is almost ready. Hm. The finished product «to go» was totally open, so I ask to have it fully wrapped. Sure. He jams another paper bag on top.
Would it really be that hard to wrap it fully in the foil paper so it’s not dripping all over as I’m «going»?? Apparently.
After all that threw half out because of the giant hunks of fat. Meh. Food court Greek is totally comparable, with less attitude and a product you can actually transport «to go».
Won’t be back. Ever.

We noticed «It’s All Grk» setting up to open over the past few weeks and we’ve been very excited to try it out. First impressions were great. The place is squeaky clean and has nice décor. The girl who took our order was friendly and helpful, and we quickly decided on the chicken souvlaki platter and a small village salad to share between us. The platter came with 3 juicy souvlaki sticks, rice, pita, potatoes, veggies, and tzatziki, and the salad had lots of fresh veggies and feta. Everything was fresh, delicious, and flavorful. Window seats were ideal for people watching.
The only thing that would make it better would be glasses and a way to get tap water (we asked and they didn’t have any).
Other than that, this place is such a great addition to the Annex. Check it out ASAP.
