Foods from Dolmades Greek Delight

I actually picked up some food here the other night and was reasonably satisfied.
I had to give their calamari a test and so I ordered the Calamari platter which came with calamari,tzatski(sp)sauce, rice, potato and salad. The calamari was actually reasonable with a nice coating, not too greasy and not chewy. The rice was nicely cooked and the portion was quite substantial. The potato was the same variety that Greek on Wheels serves which is not like the lemon roasted potatoes I am familiar with from Greek restaurants in Winnipeg. Regardless, the potato was good. Despite ordering after 10:30 at night, the greek salad was very fresh and then dressing seemed to be homemade.
The place itself is exclusively take out and nothing to look at. The only downside to this place is that it is located near the corner of Gladstone on Bronson and there isn't much in the way of parking. During the day with the traffic, it would probably be annoying to try and pick up an order.
For take out Greek, I would definately choose this place over some of the other options.

The salad was fresh and very enjoyable. It was mostly romaine with green pepper chunks, a couple of kalamata olives and a feta vinaigrette. The rice was also very nice, still warm and seasoned lightly. The roasted potatoes were delicious. I think they were first parboiled and then roasted/blackened on the outside and I've decided to try that at home.
The chicken skewers were nice, nothing spectacular but definitely good quality for delivery food. They were lightly blackened which was nice but a bit dry. The dolmades were very good and the portion, quite generous, was gobbled up quickly.
We ordered at about 9:30pm on a Sunday night and the food arrived about 25 minutes later which I thought was pretty good. But we're quite close, about 2km away, so that probably helped a lot.
