Tried the chicken souvlaki and it was a delight! The chicken was tender and flavorful, paired with a fresh, vibrant salad. The rice was decent but nothing special. What really stood out was the exceptional service – warm, attentive, and made the whole experience wonderful. Definitely worth a visit!

Coming or ordering from here is always a great experience. The portion sizes are out of this world. The lady that runs the business is always there and the staff is always kind. Did I mention that the portions are huge? Hahaha This time I got the Chicken Gyro Dinner. Comes with rice, salad, potatoes and a very tasty garlic sauce!

You can’t go with anything here! Live nearby so I got to try out a lot of things on the menu - chicken gyro, souvlaki, burgers, and fish and chips. They all taste great with hefty portions and really good price. I know this is a Greek place, but I love getting their burgers. The cheese burger comes with two patties by default and is enormous. I’m always the type to get two patties, but at Souvlaki Emporium… I admit defeat and get the junior cheese burger instead (only one patty) Overall, a neighborhood gem that can fulfill your hunger needs, whether you want a souvlaki or calamari, at a great price. Would recommend!

Great Place, employees are really welcoming. They let us finish eating before they closed. Lowkey better than Jimmy.

Ordered a takeout chicken souvlaki dinner. Overall, it was good and flavourful. The chicken was a bit dry. Service was friendly at pickup, and there is parking available.

Although the salon was simple and small, the vibe and the taste were good enough to make the experience enjoyable. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and authentic, bringing out the best of Greek flavors. The service was friendly and efficient, making the visit even more pleasant. Definitely a great spot for a satisfying meal
