🥇One of the best foods that I ate and service that I took. 🥇Shoulder meat 🥩 was an amaaaaaaazing food I ordered and it was more than enough for two. Seemed like it was cooked for hours either low temperature, it was soft and melted in the mouth , indeed mouth watering 🥇the person taking care of our table had an eye to us the whole period , so well deserved for tip

Had a delicious meal here. Came to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We ordered a lot of different menu items to try. Surprisingly my favourite was the moussaka. Their in house pita bread was also very delicious and fluffy. The service was also good.

5! Went back to Mamakas for dinner recently (haven’t been in a few years) and it was truly better than I remembered. We did the tasting menu and it was fantastic from start to finish. Loved the Greek salad and the dips - especially the taramasalata. The mains were great and everything was well timed. They were super accommodating to allergies (both dairy and soy) and still included all the dairy parts separately for us. The only part that wasn’t as good as I remember it was the octopus and I think we may have just had an off piece- because historically it has been great. The service was attentive but not overly friendly. We finished with the Greek mountain tea, which was the perfect end to a lovely meal.

I’ve had a lot of Greek food in the past and we also like cooking it at home. This place is hands down the best Greek restaurant in the city! The food is super creative while remaining traditional in flavour and the menu has a lot of great options to pick from. Our server was super nice and very informative and helpful with our experience, will be back soon!

The food was excellent, and there were heaters over each table outside on the sidewalk, making the experience more enjoyable. The service was a bit too quick because they want you out within 1.5 hours. So you feel rushed, which takes away from that experience. In most cases, people don't stay longer than 1.5, but when a time is set, it changes the experience. I recommend the owner not to bring up the time limit. Cheers.

Went with a party of 6. We all selected the tasting menu. The food was exceptional. Our waitress went above and beyond for us. She cleared our plates and gave us new ones after the first course. Refilled our water multiple times throughout our visit. Not sure if she had other tables but she made us feel prioritized. The restaurant easily accommodated to a nut allergy. I have nothing bad to say about Mamakas. The spanakopita and the lamb chops were the highlights, very delicious.

Love the energy in the room. The food was awesome! We ordered salad with tons of tomatoes and cheese, octopus, roast chicken, steak, eggplant with pork. The only thing that was a bit of a let down was the octopus - it was smaller than expected. Overall I definitely recommend this place. Yum!

Came in for lunch and got their prix fixe + freshly squeezed orange juice. Super big servings- couldn’t finish my meal because I was so full. I enjoyed the lamb! The spinach pastry (i forgot what it was called now) wasn’t really my favourite to be honest and there were a few parts of it that weren’t cooked well/too dry/hard(?) to eat. Dessert was good too though- unfortunate because I could only take two bites since I was so full. Great service and nice ambiance! Would love to come back to try more items next time
