Karbouzi - Toronto, Ontario

The service was very slow and the restaurant was empty. Not even a table check once the food came so we couldn’t tell her we were missing items or that we were hoping for a drink. Our server pretty much ignored us until the bill came and then she became ... animated and realized we exist. Told us about her financials and swore while conversing. It was definitely a forced conversation for the tip. I still gave her 20% but it was definitely not deserved. The food was mediocre at best. The feta was old (we eat feta everyday so I can guarantee it) and the potatoes tasted stale and had a hard layer around them, almost as if they were microwaved. Chicken was tender and tasted very good. Disappointing especially with their prices. We also went very out of our way to get to this restaurant. Read more

Nick the owner was friendly and nice. We got the chicken souvlaki entree and the fried calamari. The rice was flavourful and the chicken was tender and juicy. Upstairs bar had a cozy vibe with nice decor. Come if you want some good authentic Greek food!

Our server was lovely and had a wonderful energy. The place was cozy. The hummus was delicious but the calamari was nothing special. I had the lamb shank special which came with delicious lemon orzo soup and I had vegetables (nothing special) and lemon roasted potatoes (which were undercooked). I'd ... recommend for atmosphere and service. Read more

This is a review for delivery I often think eating out means having something unhealthy; meals generally contain more salt and more fat. That’s until we ordered in from Karbouzi and found their chicken souvlaki dinner ($26) tasted homemade. This isn’t a disparaging comment towards the chef, the entire meal was ... clean tasting leaving me satisfied but not sinfully so. The chicken was covered with a delicate char and remained tender thanks to the pepper slices in between that seem to baste the bird with juices. There wasn’t an outrageous portion of sides, the protein simply accompanied with lemony roast potatoes and fluffy rice that were both low on salt, but the cool tzatziki and chicken juices really helped.

We ordered on UberEats. Food tasted good. Portions are smaller than expected. Honestly, when it arrived it looked underwhelming (especially for price; i recognize presentation isnt a thing with delivered food, but relative to other deliveries its dissapointing). Again it actually tasted quite good. Overall: ... pricey for delivered Greek food so we won't do that again, but we aren't aversed to trying it again as a dine-in experience. Read more
