With gyros and souvlaki as authentic as Athens' finest, this Danforth Avenue spot is always hopping. Seven days a week, get your fill of spit-roasted or skewered chicken, pork or beef vying for space in a pita with onions, tomatoes, tzatziki, and fries.

A must-try, this spot could be called Souv Love and nobody would argue. At its Greektown and Roncy locations, spit-roasted meats beckon to passersby who invariably cave into temptation. The reward? Jam-packed wraps holding seasoned pork or chicken, fries, house-made tzatziki and, ideally, a cheeky lick of hot sauce.

It's impossible to ignore the old-school vibe — and retro pricing — at this Danforth Avenue restaurant. Still, sample the weighty gyros on a pita, made with beef and lamb, and you'll see there's more than nostalgia keeping customers piling in. Don't ignore zingy marinated souvlaki, on a pita or toasted roll.

Follow the aroma of expertly seasoned meat to this casual restaurant's two downtown locations, at Queen's Quay and Danforth Avenue. A place that doles out succulent pork and chicken gyros every day of the week until late, this spot relies on fresh ingredients for every satisfying menu item.

Find the antidote to your hunger level at this Etobicoke spot, where tender gyros can be ordered in pitas, as a dinner or plate, and piled high onto fries, salads — even poutine. Family-run since 1967, this relaxed restaurant is open for dine-in and takeout, Tuesday to Sunday, with every savoury, saucy bite also available through DoorDash, Skip The Dishes and Uber Eats.

Classic gyros and souvlaki — in dinner or sandwich form — are popular orders at this no-frills spot, with locations on Mount Pleasant Road and Pape Avenue. Tailor your meal to your liking — with add-ons like kopanisti cheese, hummus, and special sauce — and taste a medley of garlicky, savoury, pungent flavours in every bite.

Hellenic pride oozes from this family-run Danforth Avenue denizen. Here, yiayia-style comfort food includes filling chicken and pork souvlaki along with gyros served on grilled pita or as a dinner. Settle into the quaint room or order in from Uber Eats and Skip The Dishes.

West-end kids head to this spot in the Junction when they can't get the vision of juicy chicken souvlaki out of their heads. Served on a bun, or with Greek salad, rice, and roasted potatoes, it's a restaurant meal that (almost) feels homemade. Gyros fries, on the other hand, are decidedly less homey but shouldn't be ignored.

This Kennedy Road spot isn't as overtly Greek as others on this list, but the team is no less adept at dishing up satisfying meat in souvlaki and gyros form. Seven days a week this restaurant does brisk business, serving fresh and flavourful dishes to scores of devoted regulars.
