Ottawa Foodies

An interesting place to eat . . . the portion sizes are huge, with lots of rice and potatoes. Most people can't finish it. I wonder if that is environmentally correct or not.

The Sunday brunch is pretty good.

Go there if you are hungry; the fire of your appetite will be quenched!

I ordered the "vegetarian" plate but I discovered that it wasn't really vegetarian after I received it. Turns out their "vegetarian" plate has chicken gravy on the rice and the potato is cooked in some kind of animal fat. When I explained that I was a vegetarian, they took my plate and side salad away and came back with the "vegetarian" plate with most of the meal missing and a salad in its place. I expected to get a reduction in price since I was missing half the meal, but they refused. They also refused to give me a piece of pita bread - telling me to eat the garlic bread that was on the table. Given that I paid $14 for this awful meal that consisted of mostly salad and a few artichoke hearts cut in half and 5 stuffed grape leaves, you think they might have at least given me some bread. The salad was mostly lettuce and the whole meal was definitely an overpriced, non-veg friendly bust!

I ordered their classic pork souvlaki and adored the cuisine. The portions are huge (only meal of the day and I _still_ didn't finish). They are also well done. The greek salad was a nice balance of feta and dressing. The potatoes are nicely spiced (slightly hot) and numerous. The rice does what rice is supposed to do. Even though there was less meat then rice or potatoes, the portions were generous on a whole.

It is also incredibly cheap for the volume. If you know someone with an incredible appetite, bring them here. The aforementioned massive plate of food was about 14$ after tax. It can also provide leftovers for that price which makes it very much worth the cost.

There's something unique about the fries here. They're always piping hot with a nice crisp to them. Really, really hot... I can't explain it!

Too much lettuce to be a true Greek Salad, but it's tasty and isn't that what counts?

A substantial slab of thick lemony custard wedged between layers of phyllo and topped by cinnamon and sweet syrup. I have been known to eat one serving at the restaurant and request another to take home!
