Mamakas Taverna Toronto Reviews
Solid Choice with Great Service
For our starters, we ordered the meatballs, spanakopita, and croquettes. The meatballs were the best of the three. For our main course, we had the moussaka and the octopus. The moussaka was very good, while the octopus was simple and average. Overall
Vibrant restaurant with great food and service
This was recommended to us by a local chef, along with Bar Koukla over the road where we went first. It's a lively, vibrant restaurant. and we had great cocktails, good and service.
We had a weekday reservation, and got patio seating.
Service is pretty attentive and friendly. We got the Tirokafteri, spanakopita (spinach and cheese flakey pie with honey), lahanika skaras (roasted/charred vegetables in high quality olive oil), lamb shank (served with greens and butter beans). Pita
All the food was consistently good.
The service was great and the food came out quickly. The open kitchen was a great touch to the overall vibe of the restaurant.

A great greek spot on ossington! immediately when you walk in the restaurant is beautiful, open kitchen to watch the chefs cook, bar seating, easy to communicate with bartenders, no space is left unused! it's not overly upscale so it can be a gr

Dare I say best Greek food in Toronto? Meat was tender, squid was chewy and spinach pastry was delicious. Server was helpful and kind
Good Sunday night vibe.
Right amount of buzz that it's not too loud in there so I can have a catch up with a friend. Friendly staff. One of those... she checked on us when we didn't need anything but unfortunately not there when we did. No biggie. Overall it'

Mamakas is everything we expected it to be! From the cozy ambiance with low lights that transports you straight to a warm night in Greece to the delicious food and drinks. All our food was wonderful. The ambiance was amazing. Everything was reasonabl
Food was amazing, service was also great.
Too bad we had a misunderstanding about the order. The 3 of us went during brunch and tried their $55 fixed prix menu that includes an appetizer, main and a dessert . We asked a bunch of questions about the fixed prix and proceeded to order all 3 c
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. Interior was nice but
The best greek restaurant (or taverna) in the city.
Seafood and grilled lamb chops. Unbeatable. The service is good, not great, but the food makes up for any shortcomings there. The price is expensive.
Some of the best Greek food I’ve ever had!
This place was fabulous! We went with good friends in the summer of 2023, and we shared all of our food. The “dips” are a must-try; the best I’ve ever had, and with grilled pita they are to die for! Wes also shared the lamb chops, beef meatba

I have been dining here for many years, and it has always been a favourite. The food is really good (expensive but tasty). The service last night was terrible. From the moment we sat down, we felt rushed. We were asked to place our mains before we ev
Fabulous lunch spot!!
My husband, daughter, her boyfriend and I had lunch here today. Our experience was wonderful from beginning to end. My husband and our daughter’s boyfriend ordered beer, my daughter ordered a coffee and I had water. We all shared the tuna toast. M
Lovely Greek Flavors
Lovely place for a Greek meal. Service was friendly. The Lavaraki was my favorite. The Octopus my partner of which I took a bite felt slightly chewy. Moussaka was good too. Definitely recommend for a good Hellenes meal.
Incredible Aegean Cuisine on Ossington
My daughter and I came for a lovely dinner outside on a beautiful hot Toronto evening in early October. My daughter had a glass of Alpha Malagousia white wine and we had Melitzanosalata, Keftedes, Lamb Neck (incredibly delicious!) and 2 Pita. Total
Absolutely blown away by Mamakas' tasting menu and vibe.
Rarely am impressed with places so Mamakas really blew my expectations out of the water from the service, to the vibe, to the taste and even the price. For $75 tasting menu you will be more than full with leftovers to take home and every dish was jus

its a shame it is so hard to get a reservation here because it is worth being a regular place to eat. Everything was outstanding as it always is...spanokipita is beyond! The vibe is always good and dinner at Mamakas is always a great thing. Tuesda
I've wanted to try Mamakas for a looong time now- everyone
I've wanted to try Mamakas for a looong time now- everyone on Yelp and Tiktok raves about it. I'm no Greek food expert, but I'd say this could top the list for best in the city. My friends and I got a 9:15 bar reso, and I'd highly recommend sitting
Amazing Sharables
WOW. This meal was unreal. Super unique flavours I will not be forgetting anytime soon. Best place to get a bunch of plates and share with friends. I wanted to try so many things and I’m glad I had the chance.
Mamakas is a well known Greek restaurant in Toronto.
It is always jam packed all the time and make sure reservation is made ahead of time. We ordered Spanakopita for appetizer, then Rack of lamb and whole fish for main courses and finish up with baklava cheesecake. Be careful of how much you ordered
My favourite Greek spot in the city.
I love Ossington, but mamakas takes the win for the best restaurant. Celebrated an Anniversary with my boyfriend here and the food was incredible. We shared a bunch of dishes, which I'd recommend if you like to try different dishes! The hummus di
One of the best Greek restaurants in the west end Toronto.
The service is excellent and the place is always buzzing with excitement. Unique menu with some items I have never seen elsewhere. Like the lamb neck. Yup. A first for me but very tasty. The food has never disappointed and the wine selection is

Best birthday dinner !!! First time dining as Mamakas and it won't be my last! I ordered the tasting menu and it was a perfect option for me. More than enough food for dinner! The server was amazing! She was very lovely and helpful. Definately will c
Great food and always busy.
The enitre menu is good. Lamb chops are great. Egg plant dip is top notch. The baklava cheese cake dessert is amazing. They should keep their flaming cheese year round
Great Greek Food
I have been here before, it seems like the menu gets better every time. Te buzz of the resto is very cool and comfortable. Food was excellent
TO Greek
This is the best Greek (actually Cypriot) food we’ve eaten and we love Greek cuisine. It’s a little pricey but worth it.
Excellent Greek restaurant
Excellent restaurant. Remarkable lamb chops. We sat at the bar in front of the grill. The chefs were talkative and happy to discuss each of the dishes they prepared. The grilled lamb chops, grilled to perfection, medium rare were tender, and the por
The one thing that I am quickly learning about Toronto is
The one thing that I am quickly learning about Toronto is that it is pricey to go out here. My husband and I wanted a date night and we were thinking that this would be a perfect little Greek venue to grab some of our favorites. Typically when we see

Went here on a whim when another restaurant was too busy on a Sunday night. We were seated right away in communal high chairs. The food was very mid for what you are paying. The chicken would have been really dry without the sauce. My favorite thin
Highly anticipated but unfortunately a let down.
I sampled several dishes, all of which ranged from okay to good, but nothing blowing me away. At such a high price point, I'd expect more. There are plenty of better options on the Ossington strip.
A little disappointing
Had been here 2x before years ago and loved it. Came back for my birthday on a Saturday night and was a little disappointed. We ordered: - Pitas (yum) - Feta Cheese (yum, but I wish our server told us we were essentially ordering exact same thin
Birthday Celebration for Our Son Jason

Fantastic
Second time in Toronto and made sure to come back here on our first night after a great experience last year. The food is absolutely delicious, and very authentic to food you get in Greece. Great service and a nice venue also. We ordered (and recomme

My favourite plate is the Lamb and the Tomato caper appetizer! the service is amazing and the place is beautiful. the spanakopita is also amazing.
A Welcome Taste of Authentic Greek
Cannot say enough positive things about our experience. Lovely decor , buzzy vibe, and excellent service. Oh yeh , and food real, real good. A Calamari appetizer in Tomato Caper sauce was exquisite. Perfectly cooked. Main courses were equally delic
First time at Mamakas
First time trying Mamakas. I had the saganaki - which is fried cheese. This dish consisted of vlahoriti cheese, a dash of honey, thyme and was topped with some pears. For my main course I had the kotopoulo 1/2 roasted brined chicken with roasted cabb
Delicious Meal
Visited on a Wednesday night. Restaurant was busy but service was extremely accommodating. Got the spanakopita to start (delicious) and two shared plates (one lamb, one veggie). Expensive but very tasty would definitely recommend.
Great food; over priced
We visited mid-week. Relatively quite in early evening and started to get busier as we left. Food was great but overall was expensive. Service was indifferent which was a real surprise based on other restaurants we have eaten at this week.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mamakas Taverna Toronto at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mamakas Taverna Toronto page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at Mamakas Taverna Toronto to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
