Was craving a good feed of Greek food and this place delivered. Generous portions. Good quality, homemade food. Have the Greek salad and spanakopita. Very good. Thank you!

After a long day of travelling, I just wanted a home cooked meal. This place did not disappoint. The food was top notch. I got the Chicken Brochette and a Greek salad. The rice, potatoes and yogurt sauce were unbelievable. Definitely will be coming back here!

My friends and I stopped by this Greek restaurant for brunch on Saturday, and it was a great experience. We tried the Greek shakshuka, baklava pancakes, and the lamb burger everything was delicious and well prepared. The Lamb Burger is one of it's kind, recommended. The portion sizes felt fair for the price, which we really appreciated. The staff were warm and attentive and since we were in a bit of a rush, it was great that our food came out promptly without any delays. Overall a pleasant and satisfying brunch spot definitely worth a visit

Portions are generous. I had the moussaka, which was okay but pricey for $40. My friends had the souvlaki platter. They said it was good. Service could be paced better. While it is fast, wait until the clients have finished their entree & salad before plunking the main meal in front of them. This is where I noticed the difference when going to a fine dining place versus a standard restaurant.

I used to order from here often, but I’m done. The last three times I ordered a chicken pita, the chicken was unbelievably dry, so dry it was hard to swallow. Money in the garbage

Went for dinner with my mum and a friend. We started with the taramasalata to share, which came in a very generous portion. Creamy, well done, and perfect for sharing at the table. I ordered the grilled octopus plate and really enjoyed it. The octopus was cooked perfectly, tender with a nice char, and very well seasoned. The rice on the side was also great and paired well with the dish. The potatoes across an all of the plates were a bit of a letdown. They were quite bland and served in very large chunks, which made them less enjoyable compared to the rest of the meal. My mum had the lamb skewers with potatoes. She really enjoyed the skewers, which were well cooked and nicely seasoned, but also felt the potatoes weren’t the best. My friend ordered the chicken souvlaki plate and really enjoyed it.

I went for dinner. I has lentil soup, and the chicken brochette souvlaki plate, with rice and fries. The fries are really to die for! They are cut a bigger than what I usually see but the crunch on the outside and softness on the inside were really a good sign of the good cook on them. The chicken brochette was well seasoned and no part of the dish was salty which I really appreciated. I also tasted the chicken platter, which was also very well seasoned and tender. Its definitely a must try restaurant!

Second bad experience in a row at Yia Sou. We were told our takeout would be ready for 6:30 PM. I arrived at 6:35 and was repeatedly told “it’s ready, it’s coming” — yet I didn’t receive the order until 7:10 PM. Only then did the staff admit they had made a mistake and entered the pickup time as 7:30 PM. Meanwhile, people at home were waiting with the rest of the meal ready. The bigger issue was the service. One server (young woman with long dark hair) was openly rude and dismissive, accused me of being rude to a new staff member, and said no one would bring the order to my car. I went back inside to confirm — the younger new staff member clearly said I was not rude and that she had in fact told me she would bring the food out to the car. When I asked the server with the long dark hair for her name, she refused to give it. No accountability, no apology, and completely unprofessional — especially for a place that wasn’t even busy. This reflects poor management and a lack of proper staff training. After two experiences like this, we won’t be coming back.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. After reviewing the situation with our team, we’d like to clarify a few details. Your order was slightly delayed beyond the quoted time — approximately 10–15 minutes — due to a kitchen timing issue during a particularly high-volume period for takeout and delivery that evening. While the dining room may have appeared quieter, our kitchen was operating at full capacity fulfilling a large number of off-premise orders. Our team worked to complete your order as quickly as possible, and we do take responsibility for the delay. Regarding the interaction described, the staff member mentioned is new and currently in training. After speaking with both employees involved, it appears there was a miscommunication rather than any intention of being dismissive or rude. We take service standards seriously and always expect respectful interactions on all sides. We understand that delays can be frustrating, especially when coordinating meals at home, and we’re continuously improving our processes and training to avoid situations like this. Yia Sou has built its reputation on strong service, consistency, and accountability. While we’re not perfect, we are committed to improving and delivering the experience our guests expect. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.

Very very disappointing meal THAT I DIDN'T EAT. The sandwich was so tough I could hardly chew it; the salad- 'chunks' of unripened tomatoes and cucumbers was tasteless. (NOTE to the cooks-cut the vegetables smaller, and more seasoning and dressing. This will camouflage the unripened taste AND its a trick used frequently in this business); the fries were very large 'frozen' and also tasteless and mushy (use smaller variety of frozen fries, they will taste better). To add insult to injury, the food was delivered without any utensils (even though I ticked this as essential), napkins or salt and pepper. The entire meal cost $47 (and I tipped), and it all went promptly in the garbage. I may have had three bits. DO BETTER.

Thank you for the feedback, Michele. We prepare our food fresh to order using marinated meats and whole vegetables, which many guests enjoy for their quality and flavour. While we’re sorry this was not to your taste, we stand behind our product. Once we were notified that utensils were missing, they were resent immediately. Please note that delivery and handling are managed by third-party platforms once food leaves our restaurant. We appreciate the input and will continue maintaining the standards our customers expect.
