Grilled calamari was rubbery and over cooked...what a disappointment..should have expressed this to staff...came with choice of two potatoes, rice or vegetables..potatoes were ok, vegetables were boiled...no flavour
Music was loud
Not busy yet waitress was never around and it took 20 minutes to get a coffee
Overall a disappointing waste of strip...
This is my favorite restaurant and i go here all the time!!! Went with some friends last night and we all had an amazing time!!! Love the atmosphere it is sooo cool and classy <3
The Astoria has been around for over 30 years and now I know the reason why....THE FOOD! The food is to die for, best Greek on the Danforth. If you are not from Toronto and are looking for authentic greek this is the place to go. Large portions at fair prices but most of all great food. Thank you for a great experience, I will be back :)
After noticing many good reviews about this restaurant, we decided to give it a try.
Upon entry, I found the restaurant to have pretty good atmosphere. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and were seated.
We noticed that our server was not in a very good mood - most likely tired from the days work. Nevertheless, the service was pretty quick (the restaurant was empty at the time).
When it came to food. I was pretty disappointed. We ordered chicken souvlaki and lamb souvlaki. The chicken was good but the lamb was horrible. The potatoes and rice were just ok as well. The salad was fresh.
I wouldn't visit the restaurant again mainly because of the food.
I can't believe I'm the first to rate Astorias. Run to this place. The best souvlaki on the Danforth, trust me, Professional wait staff and Greek chefs. Great portions, great service. Regards, Stuart.
This shish kebob house serves up a mean chicken souvlaki! The chicken is marinated to reach peak tenderness, served with a fresh Greek salad and a choice of roasted potatoes, savoury rice, French fries or fresh vegetables. You can also get the chicken souvlaki in a sandwich.
