Tasty food, but service was extremely slow and not attentive for group of 12 on a Saturday night at 7 pm with a reservation. Restaurant was not even busy, so... read more not sure why we were not serviced better. Waited 1 hour to order. We were not offered more beverages, coffee or dessert or asked if we needed anything else, was impossible to get waiter attention for anything. We left and went elsewhere for coffee & dessert. Disappointing for sure.

My wife and I had dinner here last night. The place has been completely redecorated, and opened under new management two weeks ago, we were told. ... read more This is definitely an upgrade, and provides a charming dining space, spoiled by music played at a level typical...of a rowdier sports bar. Not conducive to conversation. The menu shown here is ancient history. The new menu we were told is a work in progress. It is! Everything was overcooked - the Kalamata sausage, the biftekia and the fish dish. The Greek salad was well executed and tasty. The biftekia was dry. My wife did not enjoy it, unlike on our previous visits. Try using medium ground beef, for moister and tastier results, especially when not left as long on the grill. The new staff here do a "bait and switch" scam. I ordered the codfish fillet with the Greek name, which our waiter repeated back to me. What was delivered were three "sardines", which i normally like, except that these were more like a cross between a pilchard and a smelt. They were coated and deep-fried, which would be a crime with real sardines. For 69% more than the cod! I also made the mistake of ordering a HALF-LITRE of house red wine, which in the past was Apelia or another full-bodied Greek wine. The charge for this was for 3 glasses of an upscale Australian shiraz. Unlike the previous owners, no wine/drinks list was provided. Once you have consumed the items, there is minimal recourse. We left in a state of shock and despair, as we are writing off what had been one of our favourite restaurants in Toronto. We have been going to Megas for nearly 20 years, and have always had an enjoyable dining experience. Laat night was definitely our last visit, especially as there are several excellent and HONEST restaurants in the immediate area. The place seemed unusually empty last night (Thursday evening in summer), and the staff seemed somewhat bored. Perhaps the word has got around, even though nothing has been written here. More

I went to Megas for the first time today (Monday) for lunch. My friend had been there before and said it was quite good. Granted, I had a very typical... read more greek food, souvlaki, but it was good, better than other more expensive restaurants in the area. The waiter surprised us with dessert (ice cream with walnuts and honey), which we had not asked (and not charged). The coffee was nothing to write home about, but the service was friendly and quick. I'd go back.

Ordered grilled octopus and Alexander shrimp with greek salad on the side and for dessert ordered 10 layer delicious chocolate cake .Will definitely recommend and come back again .

The food was average, the shrimps could have less oil (Alexander style) and the beans were with some tomato ketchup. For a Greek restaurant I would expect more.

I recently had dinner at Megas with a group of friends. The restaurant was nice I hear they are newly renovated. We ordered the appetizer platter. Couldn't... read more tell the difference between the Hot Feta dip and the Fish Roe. I ordered the shrimp. It was...ok but my potatoes were rock hard and the rice was terrible. I guess my side veggies were the frozen peas and corn in rice. Rice also had a weird brown colour. whats that all about? Some of the potatoes tasted stale some were undercooked. Salad was underdresssed and tasted like straight vinegar. One friend ordered the lamb medium well, it came rare and had to be sent back to the kitchen twice. One ordered steak. Said it was the worst steak she has ever had. My other girlfriend ordered the souvlaki homemade fries thats what I should have ordered as they were the tastiest and best looking thing on the tale. But the chicken souvlaki was undercooked. Overall with all of the amazing Greek restaurant available on the Danforth, I think Megas seriously needs to step up their game in order to compete. More

The service that we received from our waitress was awful
Marina was rude and extremely pushy, as if we were disturbing her
We say other waitresses making frequent visit... read more to their tables but Marina was a ghost
Drinks took forever to arrive and food came with appetizers, seriously?
When came the time to pay Marina was hovering over the table to show tou where to push the 20% tip button on the POS machine
I told her that I will choose the % tip I want and by the way I do not tip on top of the GST!
Due to this experience and thanks to Marina and her great service we will never go back

Arrived at 730pm, eleven ladies we were. It was a prepaid set menu. We all paid $45 weeks ago. We had to go to the bar to get drinks?? A... read more restaurant that doesn't provide drinks to your table? I found that odd. So you had...to get up in the middle of eating and get a drink? Wtf? Anyhow we found it strange that the whole restaurant was being served food except for us. We got nothing until around 9pm. Some appetizers. Then they came around and asked which main we wanted (we had a choice of 5). We then waited which seemed like forever. Three of us told the waitress we wanted to take it to go since it was getting too late. Again we waited and waited, and finally the waitress came back out to tell us they ran out of food!!! One of the worst rest I've been to.. And so very noisy on top of that. Couldn't here ourselves talking. Never again. More

We've dined as a couple, and as a group, and enjoyed good, un-rushed service and very good food both times. Many other Greek Town restaurants hustle you in and... read more out with brusque service, but dining at Megas is comfortable and pleasant. One review mentioned over-priced...which is surprising when the bill for our dinner for two was cheaper than a dinner for two at Boston Pizza! This is my new first choice for Greek in Toronto 🙂 More

Such a great dining experience. Our servers Patricia and Aleda were such wonderful servers knowledgeable about the food and wines. So wonderful and friendly. Haven’t had service this nice in... read more a while. The food was amazing and delicious. Left so full and so satisfied.

Went for dinner at Megas last night and it is now my new favourite Greek Restaurant. Martin, our server, was very friendly and his service was great. He first served... read more us with large slices of fresh bread. Next came the best Greek salad I have had with lots of crumbled feta cheese and dressing on top. We ordered salmon and the chicken souvlaki dinner. We chose fresh steamed vegetables, rice and Greek potatoes to go with our dinners. The Greek potatoes were tender and plentiful. The salmon was delicious. Their tzatziki dip was very tasty. Their food is reasonably priced. We can't wait to go back for dinner again !

Get a quote or estimate before you order a "special". There are better and more honest places nearby. - My wife and I had dinner here last night.

Worst Greek restaurant on danforth ! Go anywhere else but here to spend your valuable money. The worst lamb chops I've seen and they didn't cook them the way we... read more asked and refused to take it off the bill and we had spent 200 for...two of us already even if they would take it off. Flat out refused not doing that I will see if I can get you a dessert maybe ??? And also commented well I see it looks like you ate some of them already? Couldn't believe it just avoid this place !
