Mr Greek Express

Great meal. Lots of food.
Hot and fresh and served quickly.
It’s on the pricey side about $ 20.00 for dinner.
Have been a few times and yet to be disappointed..

I was driving hungrily upon when I happened on this Mr.Greek. Since I have new dietary requirements/​restrictions I thought this place could fit my bill… I was right.
I ordered the Greek Salad (no cheese) & the Gyro (I love Gyro). The managers ALVIN & JERAMY heard me complaining that there is no discount for NOT getting cheese. So basically I was paying for something I wasn’t getting. He made a smart business decision & offered me a larger salad with added Tomato/​Cucumber & a little extra salad dressing. This suited my needs just right & they were very polite about it. The staff that served the food was polite, efficient & smiling & were kind enough to offer cold water to go with my meal. In today’s age with competition as tough as it is… ring, ring… well done!

Over the Christmas holidays I went to Mr. Greek Express in Aurora to pick up an order. I placed my order for Chicken Souvlaki with rice potatoes and greek salad. While there I watched the cook put rice into the silver container and stir the rice around with his hands? Part of his arm was in it as well as the container is deep. That was not the worst part of it, he had rings on! I was disgusted! I told the girl at the container and she didn’t care. She offered me something else in place of it!
I will never go back there again.
Sad really because when it first came to Aurora it was good and then a change of people working and running brought it down. I have never come across this at Mr. Greek’s in Newmarket and will continue to go there if I want greek food.

Not exactly sure what is express about this place. They always seem to take a while which is why I usually don’t go for lunch here. I don’t mind waiting for food if it tastes spectacular. This does not taste spectacular.
The plus is that it is a big enough place to host team lunches and the décor actually looks nice. I’ve been here a few times and usually the tables are clean.
You can order ahead to help save some time. The food doesn’t have the beautiful greek flavours you can find on the Danforth. It’s like the Greek McDonalds. It will do in a pinch. Chicken souvlaki is ok, the salad is a bit (ok a lot) sad looking.

Wouldn’t visit here again. Slow and indifferent service, super dry chicken in the pita sandwich and dirty, unkept eating area.

Well I’m sure most people are familiar with a «Mr. Greek/​express» by now but I’m going to write this for those who aren’t. The Mr. Greek express a fast food chain serving Greek food like all the traditional «meat on a stick”/shish kebabs whatever you call it; Souvlaki pork or chicken is what it’s known as in Greek town. I’ve had many meals here eat in and takeout. Can’t go wrong its fairly inexpensive and it’s well supposed to be quick but they’re not –ok they do need to cook the meat. The chicken and pork is always tender.
You have your choice of full dinners «classic or original» that come with 1 or 2 choices of sides: rice, potatoes, sautéed vegetables –all meals come with a small Greek salad.
You can go cheap & order a pita sandwhich only.
I’ve had the fried calamari dinner which is approx. $ 16.00 comes with 2 sides & salad & pita bread! Huge & filling ;my fav
They also now have «chicken» gyros which should be good for those who don’t eat lamb or beef.
If you’re eating in, you basically order at the front cash-​cafeteria style then go pick your own seating as they bring you the food order (not bad you still get service) and you don’t have to tip but I recommend a small one as they clear your plates too. But it’s up to you-that’s why it’s an «express
Overall inexpensive good food

The food is good but the wait times can be excessive. I just call in my order on my way home from work.

I eat here every week at least once –mostly for lunch. Food is extremely fresh and always fast — staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it. My go to lunch is the chicken greek salad.

We went in for lunch yesterday just before noon. The lady at the counter taking our order was nice but didn’t smile once and seemed stressed out. The place was pretty empty when we arrived, but quite a line-​up developed after we sat down. It took more than 15 minutes for us to get our food; not very ‘express’ if you ask me. The server came to our table twice and asked us our order number before she actually served us our food. We had a chicken Greek wrap ($ 6.25) and a gyro pita ($ 5.95) and I have to say that the food was very tasty and the place was clean. I would probably go again because it is close to where I work and the food quality is worth it.

I love the Mr. Greek chain and have eaten at many. This one does not live up to their normal standard. The food portions are small and the pork is fatty. I can usually overlook the inconvenience of having to order at the counter and wait to bring the food to my table. In this, it just isn’t worth it. I will continue to visit Mr. Greek locations, just not this one.

Express doesn’t actually mean fast nor do the prices reflect that this is not a full service restaurant. Place your order at the counter, where the cashier tries to awkwardly up sell you on everything (as if she’s working on commission) and then your food is brought later to the table and not at record speed.
Our two seater booth was uncomfortably food courtish. Food was standard Greek fare without exceptional flavouring. My pork souvlaki was tender but not memorable and the Greek Salad really skimped on the feta. If you’re here for a quick lunch, don’t depend on it.
