Krystos

Krystos is the new rendition of Mr.Greek. The old Mr Greek in that location closed down and opened up a new Greek restaurant, Krystos. The food and prices are very very similar to Mr.Greek. The inside has a pretty authentic Greek feel to it, feels cultural. Very spacious restaurant with plenty of tables. Today we decided to sit out on the patio because it was so beautiful out. The service was a little slow and kinda poor. Food was pretty good but i found the portions to be smaller than the take out portions. All around average dining experience and to me getting Greek food to go is a much better option.

I dined-​in at Krystos for the first time today. The food was decent, but the service was below average.
There was only 1 other table in the restaurant but we waited a while for the server to come ask us what we wanted to drink. By the time she came to our table, we were ready to order as well. We got a few Corona’s, waited for 15 minutes (and ate our salads during that period of time) before we were told that they didn’t have any Corona’s left. Food came out pretty quickly. No quality check after we got the food — luckily the food was good!
Probably won’t be dining in again, but I recommend getting take-​out from this place if you’re craving Greek food! Their lamb souvlaki is delicious.

This place is ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE !!! Save your money and don’t waste your time. Since the change from Mr. Greek to this new place Krystos… this place has gone down the toilet… which is exactly what your experience will be here, crap!
Besides the food being overcooked, terrible ingredients and awful… The waiter was new, so I don’t fault him. But the «manager» is a complete @ss. He is actually also the guy cooking your meal. Seriously! We had a party of 8, they brought out 6 meals… and the other 2 when the first 6 ppl were done. Lol When I went to ask for the manager, some young short Indian dude behind the grill came around the corner and said «what»…I explained to him the situation… and he game complete attitude and at the end he reluctantly said «fine I’ll take %10 off»…I wasn’t satisfied with that but went back to the table… only to find that the seafood platter they had FINALLY brought out was missing the shrimp that was supposed to be on there. I went back to tell the manager I went to the manager to tell him I wouldn’t be paying for the late, incomplete meal, and he turned to the waiter and said «OK fine go and take the plate off the table»… instead of making the situation right. I wouldn’t go back here if they were giving the food away for free.

I’m truly upset about the whole experience I had at this restaurant. There is another location on Dufferin which is not like this one at all. Only 2 waitstaff on a busy Sunday. No host to greet you. Everyone dining was squished into one corner on the top level of the restaurant. The waitress seemed like this was her first day talking to people. Absolutely no people skills at all. The atmosphere was unpleasant. We were seated at a dirty table and had to move. Carpet was dirty. The only decent thing about this place was the food which wasn’t amazing and didn’t stand out. I would definitely not return.

I am very surprised why this place has only two stars. The place was nice, clean. good customer service. delicious, cheap and huge portion of food. What else do we need to have a pleasant time? This is going to be my go to Greek Restaurant. I usually check reviews before i go somewhere but this time did exception and thankfully didn’t regret.

This is the worst restaurant to go to! We ate there a few weeks prior to this visit and one menu had a list of Persian dishes. We came back here tonight for my mom’s birthday and asked the waitress what happened to the Persian menu in the back of the menu and she looked at us like we were nuts! She was also very rude and mean and was very abrasive. She didn’t come to our table prior to ordering to ask if we wanted drinks. It’s not like the place was busy. It was on a Wednesday during a snow storm. There was hardly any patrons at the place. It took 25 minutes just to get our water. This was the last time I or my family would set foot in this place. Waste of time! Go somewhere else if you want a decent meal. For a $ 16 dish, I would expect better service than what I would get at a fast food place at the mall!

We tried the Dufferin location and were really turned off at the lack of flavour and authenticity. We decided to try the Richmond Hill location and were equally as disappointed. $ 15.80 for a village salad, that didn’t taste particularly fresh (and didn’t come with any bread) was such a waste of money. Sad to say, but this is not authentic Greek food. I miss Mr. Greek!

A restaurant really needs to disappoint for such a review… and sadly this restaurant most definitely won’t last more than 6 months with the service and food.
Ordered takeout from this location online yesterday… I had called in soon after placing my order just to confirm payment methods; the lady who had answered the phone had mentioned the internet was not working on her end so she can’t receive my order… not a problem; I repeated my order STRAIGHT off the internet… This girl who supposedly works at this restaurant claimed they didn’t have 2 of the dishes I had ordered online. Then after rereading the details of the dish; she claimed I can only get that as a dine in option. I asked her as to why it would be on the pick up menu online then… her answer. I don’t know. how lovely… I asked that it be made and she said fine… But only if the turmoil ended there… I also ordered the shrimp and salmon linguine which according to the site was in a wine reduction sauce. When I asked for the linguine she asked me tomatoe or rose sauce. So when I proceeded to ask what the wine sauce was it was cooked in as per the site. Her answer… «i don’t know». I asked her what does she mean I don’t know… its whats on the menu… Her answer whilst giggling… yet again «i don’t know.» As its new years eve and there was only a limited amount of places open I just went with it…
As if the ordering process wasn’t annoying in itself. the meals were quite pricey. When we got the food and came home… disappointment is an understatement. Lets just say the food is sitting in my fridge only because explaining to myself spending so much on food without putting it to use is just shameful.
The shrimp platter which apparently wasnt available for takeout. had good reason not to be offered. IT was horrendous. All the dishes we had ordered had feta; I couldnt tell there was feta in anything. The shrimp platter at 22 dollars came with 5 shrimp in tomatoe sauce on rice with veggies on the side. i would pay maximum 12 dollars for the meal presented. I also ordered the linguine with salmon and shrimp. There was calamari in my linguine… and no salmon… at all. No feta whatsoever… Nothing tasted fresh and it was as if everything went straight to the fryer from the freezer. there is nothing fresh tasting about this place. And the babaganoush from this place is hands down the worst I’ve ever tasted in my life.
Hands down one of the worst food experiences I have had to date. This place either needs to wake up for their 2016 year or just realize this joint isn’t anything more than a cheap dinner selling fake «greek» staples. Call me harsh; but the truth is the truth. Save yourself from such misery.

Place used to be mr. greek, they just change the name and increased the prices otherwise the food is not that great and its smaller portion. I think they should close down all together. I dont recomend to anyone unless you want to thru away your money. However the wait staff are good.

We got takeout in the late evening. Wasn’t a busy evening.
We asked if they have shwarma since we didn’t see it being cooked. The waitress said yes. But when we got home — we have received gyro instead of shwarma. He gyro was really dry and not very good. However I have ordered chicken souvlaki dinner on previous occasions, and it was good. The price for their food is a little overpriced.
All in all, best to go into the mall to get better + cheaper Greek food.

Classic Greek place. Another type of Friendly Greek, Mr. Greek style food. The potato’s and some of the seasoning was better than those other places but the Veg Moussaka was not great and was so hot like it was heated from a Microwave.
The village salad was fresh and very large, but I didn’t like the presentation. The chicken was well cooked and clean with good seasoning. The lemon potato’s were actually a great surprise. Very reasonable for someone on a budget, but Im not rushing back. The other thing I didn’t like the place is so big, that even if you have 20 tables the place feels empty.

My wife and I decided to bring my parents out for dinner. We were excited about trying a new Greek restaurant.
Unfortunately, the service was slow and unfriendly. Not sure if our waiter was pulling a double or something. Food took a while to come out. Drinks came out for half our table while we were waiting for the food. The remaining drinks eventually came out shortly after our meals. I guess they don’t care to up-​sell their beer.
Food tastes ok. It satisfied my hunger. I ordered the pork souvlaki. I think they use store bought skewers. The seasoning didn’t seem authentic.
I doubt I’d come back. It’s unfortunate that more pride isn’t taken at this establishment. In this business pride from your staff and owner is a must.

We were craving Greek food so we decided to try this restaurant out for the first time. We went around noon for brunch with the family.
I was surprised to see people in there since there wasn’t many cars in the parking lot. We were greeted upon arrival and taken to our table which was near the kitchen. The server did ask us where we wanted to be seated, which was nice.
I ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner, husband ordered the gyro dinner and we ordered a chicken souvlaki and fries combo from the kids menu. We got a basket of bread which was lifted grilled but had no flavour what so ever. My husband said it seemed kind of stale.
The salads came out first, the dressing was a little sweet. Alright Greek salad but the dressing seemed like it came from the bottle not so home made.
Our meals came out shortly after, didn’t take too long to come out. Although it wasn’t pipping hot like I expected. I got a side order of rice and «mixed» vege. And my husband got a side order of «mixed» vege with lemon potatoes which was supposedly their most popular side.
I enjoyed the rice but the vege was all carrots! My husband had all carrots too with two pieces of zucchini. The lemon potato was alright. The gyro was a little dry but okay to eat. Chicken souvlaki was okay, could of had more flavour but enjoyable. The taziki sauce was good. Our daughters meal was not worth $ 7– had a couple prices of chicken and some fries. But the fries were really good! I would probably just go back for the fries lol
Overall my experience at this restaurant was okay. The service was great! But I wish the food was more flavourful.

I really wanted to love this place.
We came here to sample some authentic Greek food, and what we received was cold, rubbery skewers where the best tasting item was the crisp French fries. Reading the reviews about the emptiness of the cavernous space, the surgery sweet of the Greek dressing, I scoffed. Unfortunately, not only was that true, but our party was Hijacked by fruit and other assortments of fly. Flies everywhere, enjoying the Mccain style chocolate cake, enjoying the pita triangles and the sweltering heat under Food Court style lighting.
The service is what gets the second star. Very friendly, aiming to please.
To the owners, please strive to serve fresh food, better breads and authentic cuisine and I promise you will fill those seats. I am willing to come back and redo the review based on the service.

I ordered fried calamari appetizer and it was a very small portion for $ 12.00 and soaking in oil. No dip included. Or maybe it is extra charge. Order was quick alright but hey I was willing to wait to have the food prepared fresh but don’t feed me re-​fried calamari. If they can’t do it right on take out, Dining in must be even worse.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
The Good: they serve a mean Diet Coke. Excellent Diet Coke. Good straw too.
The Bad: Once the food was ordered, the server activated her Predator cloaking device and she disappeared. The food took 45 minutes to be served! To be fair there was another 4 people in the restaurant though. I’m sure that put a strain on the «cook». When it was time to pay for the bill, the Predator reemerged.
The Ugly: everything was burnt. Even the saganaki «opah» cheese was made to sit on the table opposite ours. I had a few minutes to just sit there and watch it burn in flames. At least 3 minutes before it occurred to her to use the lemon wedge to put out the fire. The souvlakia were all burnt to a dry crisp. The rice tasted like it was cooked in dishwater and even the potatoes smelled and tasted like the secret ingredient in the lemon sauce was rat poison.
Folks, I’m not exaggerating. This is what happens when a restaurant doesn’t taste their own food. If they did, I’m sure they would have truly burned it until it was just charred remains. This was truly the most abysmal restaurant experience in I have ever had. GARBAGE!

I would save your money and head into the mall for a taste of Greek food. Portion size is great but no real flavour. Everything is just salty with a hint of familar Greek spicies. One important advice, the girl at the take-​out counter might crush your take-​out food. The poor thing is miserable there.

Big improvement from the previous Mr. Greek. The food is more authentic to Greece. The service is excellent with mature waiters who have been in the business for years. All your Greek favorites are available and the atmosphere is great.

We decided to order Greek food to work on Saturday. I called there, very nice girl answered my call and asked to hold for a second. She came back to me after 5 minutes, asked the address, apologized and asked to hold again. Overall waiting time just to make an order was 15 minutes, which is ridiculous!!! The service experience was totally disappointing.
Now about the food: we ordered chicken souvlaki with rice and greek salad: there were four small pieces of dry chicken. The worst souvlaki I have ever tried. Greek salad isn’t even close to real Greek salad, lots of lettuce, a piece of tomato and two pieces of cucumber.
So if you want Greek food, better drive to Mr. Greek and pick up your order. Delivery from this place isn’t worth it.

This location used to be a Mr.Greek. So it is only natural that the following establishment to be a Greek restaurant as well. I’ll make the statement quick… I miss the Mr. Greek and I HATED that restaurant when it was here.
I’ll break this down in several ways. The Service and the Food.
1) Service — Suffice to say… I’ve had better. The group I ordered with had a few adjustments to their items and it seemed to throw the kitchen in a frenzy (G-​d forbid we ask our salads to NOT come with Tomatoes). We knew it upset the kitchen because we heard them from mid way in the restaurant. When our salads came with the more tomatoes than none (like we requested) our server suggested «just pick then off». It also didn’t help that it was difficult to flag down our server when we needed refills of water. I’m sorry, but my pregnant wife needed water and it was hard to get at times. The manager came over eventually and was gracious enough to smooth things over and get our feedback. Its rare to see and it was comforting to see and owner learning from his customer base. That was the only reason I awarded the second star.
2) The Food — I’ll focus on my food now. I got the Lentil Soup. It would have been good if it wasn’t heavy on the olive. I found it way too salty and off putting. I also got the Vegetarian Souvlaki plate and in the back of my head, I just can’t justify $ 13 for a skewer of vegetables, rice and potatoes. Each element was great, I just felt it was priced too high for what I got in return. The Greek salads had a sweet taste to them that was unexpected. The manager justified it by claiming it was a more authentic take on Greek Salads. I’m not an expert on Greek cuisine by any means but I’m skeptical about it. But once again, I’m no expert on this. I will say that the QUALITY of the food is good in terms of the ingredients used but i feel how they are used is poor.
I really wasn’t pleased here. I get that they are still working out the kinks so I’m willing to give then another try. I think I proved that with Hummus Hummus before they closed. But there is a lot remains to be seen before I adjust this rating.
Also, one of the locks are broken in the men’s room and there are only two stalls. Use them wisely!
