   While the food was excellent the service was horrible. Our table was not ready for our reservation and we were asked to wait outside in the cold. We were moved from our original table by our server Rodger, over to the bar when we were not finished eating. There was no communication that there was a time limit for our table. However, we were fine to move to the bar but the bartender Leva was extremely rude to our group and seemed irritated as soon as we moved to her section. We moved to the bar at 7:30 where we ordered a bottle of wine at 8 pm. Leva informed us that we needed to be out at 8:15 pm after just starting our first glass and we informed her that we could not finish in that time frame. She took the bottle back and dumped our glasses in front of us. Our group of three was polite and easy going and there was no reason for receiving the kind of service we had. While the food was wonderful, our experience was so poor that we will not be returning or making recommendations. Mamakas will be boycotted from our organization for all of our business and social gatherings.

   It has become the best restaurant in Toronto. They are always evolving and refining their dishes with a new twist! The ambiance and service are incredible! You can see why this restaurant group is the premier one in Toronto and Canada! If you haven’t been you are missing out!

    Tonight’s experience was very bitter sweet. I have been looking forward in dining at Mamakas for quite some time since I moved to Toronto. Overall, the food was fantastic, the saganaki, lamb chops and etc. was delicious. However... the service or more like, lack there of service was horrendous. to be honest we are asian Canadian patrons and in light of everything happening in the World, tonight’s service really discouraged me in dining here ever again. Our one server, L****y was very very unprofessional. I could count the number of words she spoke to us with my hands and toes. Her demeanour in being our server was screaming reluctance and all of us could see her forced smile. We are not diseased stricken leppers, we are dining guests and patrons of a restaurant and should be treated with respect and served as you would to any other guest. We asked her what was the size of the “hand made pitas” were, for an idea on how many to order, she condescendingly chuckled at us and said “its the size of a normal pita”... not very professional. To say the least, aside from taking our order, placing dishes down, clearing plates and giving and paying for the bill, we did not get much service. We were quite disappointed with our experience as the food in itself was incredible. Quite lacklustre. I’m normally one to tip well for great service and this is the first time in my life I have left a restaurant leaving ZERO tip after dining and a few blunt and honest words to our server. That is how bad the service was for us. Overall, I would recommend this place for food and hope the service is not consistent with our experience. My hope is management sees this review to please enforce some sensitivity and customer service training that is much needed. As a person who has joyfully worked and served in the restaurant industry, this is disgraceful.

    Our waitress was excellent in recommending wine and dishes for us to try - even recommending us to get one less as our eyes were bigger than our bellies. It's hard to choose a favourite between the stuffed squid, lamb chops, cheese saganaki and broccoli, but the lamb and the broccoli were front runners - absolutely delicious. Need to return to try everything else on the menu

    I dine in here before Covid 19 hit the country. The overall experience was stunning; the food, service, and wine. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Her food and wine recommendation was on-point. Although the restaurant was pretty busy and crowded, we were well looked after.

    Delicious tyrokafteri (they have a different name for it on the menu but that's how I know it) dip. Still thinking about it days later. Definitely a buzzing and crowded space on the weekends, but the food makes up for it. Great service, too. A must try.

    Real Greek food...not the Canadianized versions you see elsewhere. If you have the food culture...don't water down..there is no need. Mamakas is the place for Greek food in Toronto. The service person was amazing food was perfect.

    Every dish we had was exceptional. Fresh food, prepared perfectly, outstanding flavors, textures, aromas. And reasonable prices. We'll be back. If you can't get reservations, you might be able to sit at the kitchen bar and watch the chefs - that can actually be more fun!

    Service was excellent- best we have had in some time. Food was delicious- we ordered a number of dishes and shared them amongst four of us. They did a good job of advising on appropriate portions - just enough for everyone. Dips were a bit over priced however - only negative but it was outweighed but all the other positives.

    I have been twice now, once with my boyfriend and once with my family. Both times were amazing. The food is delicious and you feel like you’re in a little restaurant right in Greece. The wine is Greek as well so we got to try some that we wouldn’t be able to anywhere else necessarily. Definitely give it a try!

    The food quality was not up to my expectations. Octopus was cold and burned, the beef was cold and hard. The waiter was distracted although restaurant was not that busy. I don’t think the flavour palate resembles the flavours of Greece. The decoration is very good and music selection as well.

    Waiter was extremely pushy on us to buy more food. I felt very cornered by him. Also he refused to give us one of the items in the menu that I had the half size just last month (2 lamb chops instead of 4). I won’t go there again. Very cheap mentality.
