Review from ruby h.

In the past week, 2 of my close girlfriends have mentioned a 'Greek' place at 16th and Woodbine. I had no idea there was on there but upon arriving, I already got good vibes. I've noticed the sign before but never bothered to try it. I should really venture out of my comfort eating zone more often...
We were greeted immediately after walking in, with smiles and sincerity. Our server (wish I had gotten her name because she was really friendly and helpful), was prompt in taking our drink order. I inquired about the Greek coffee and she was very knowledgeable in her explanation. I absolutely loved the coffee :)
My friend and I ordered a chicken souvlaki plate and gyros plate. I asked if they could put mine in a wrap instead of getting rice, and maybe get some veggies on the side. I told her i'd pay extra but she was super nice about it and said no problem at all. Then she recited our orders back to us! It rarely happens anymore, not even in larger corporate restaurants. (I am a server myself....).
While waiting for our entrees, we saw our server flame up some cheese.. Two tables had ordered it and we were curious to try, so we ordered it too! It was Saganaki - pan fried kefalotiri cheese. It was delicious! Kind of reminded me of baked Brie.
Our mains arrived shortly after and by this point we were already half stuffed from the Saganaki.
We managed to do quite some damage still. My gyros pita was flavorful and not too saucy. The gyros meat was tender and not dry - really important. Portion sizes are generous for the price.
I am definitely coming back! It is a gem and I'm lucky it's so close to my dwelling! -

Loui's Kouzina is one of the best Greek restaurant up in Markham... Not that Markham has a lot of other choices for some decent Greek food.
Try not to come on a Saturday night unless you don't mind waiting... At 7 pm, there is a line up for tables!!
Chicken Souvlaki with 2 sides ($10.95) is satisfying... Chicken is surprisingly juicy and has that right off the grill flavour. Though my food took some time to arrive, I ate the whole loaf of garlic bread while I waited....
Service is good as my waitress checked on me the whole evening and reassure me that my food would be coming soon.....
Now I know Loui's Kouzina would be my Greek restaurant if ever I feel like having some Greek food up in Markham! -

I was recommended this place by an actual Greek person, so I had to check it out. Went for dinner with my wife and we had the flaming saganaki for appetizer, it was good, nice crisp edges.
My wife had the gyro dinner and it was great, very flavourful with some nice steamed veg on the side. I had the lamb shanks and I'm not sure why they serve it with a steak knife as it was fall of the bone tender. I picked it apart with mainly my fork. The flavour was great, as good as the lamb shank I had in Mykonos. -

Post-Good Friday morning, the BF and I were craving Greek food - but we were too lazy to drive all the way down to our usual spot for Greek. So this place was our fallback - since it was close by.
We each ordered a souvlaki pita and split a small Greek salad.
The pitas came with the souvlaki hot off the grill and the meat was nice and juicy - juicy enough that it continued to drip on to the plate when as we ate them.
The salad was also quite good. It had a bit too much feta - but that is my own personal preference.
The bill came in at about $ 20 for the two of us including taxes - which was great.
The place is a local place to eat Greek and that saves me from going to the closest Greek chain in the area. I'll come here the next time I crave Greek food. -

Super friendly staff that care about the food, huge portions for the money. Fantastic value. Fried calamari was amazing, fresh, crispy, not greasy. Large gyros plate is a mountain of super tasty gyro, amazing Greek potatoes and even my steamed veggies were nicely cooked. Would definitely make my way back to this place, and highly recommend you do too.

Still stuffed from our lunch at Loui's Kouzina as I write this quick review. Delectable Greek food in Markham, yum...yum...yum...oh absolutely!
Wonderful food. The pita bread came hot from the oven - oh that was so right with the refreshing dips, The Trio. Redefined our taste and love for Gyro and Moussaka - truly mouthwatering and flavoursome.
Roasted Potato siding for my Souvlaki was a treat as it melted in my mouth with a sweet ending. The rice my husband got for his Souvlaki was a signature. The meat were a little dry, though. The Baklava a good finish.
On the downside, the kids meal was dry, i.e. just a skewer of meat on a bed of fries wasn't exactly appetizing. Had to scoop up some pita dips to make it more delectable.
Its a small place but truly an outstanding casual dining perfect for my family. Seen a lot of corporate lunch groups who seem to have an equally good time. Servers were great - approachable and efficient, no need for pen & pencil taking our orders. Satisfied our tummy and expectations for a better Greek experience. We're coming back for more! -

One of the best Greek places in town, hands down.
No idea why this was not on Yelp before, but this hidden gem is a must try for food lovers out there.
I've tried almost everything on the menu, as i frequent this restaurant, and not a single thing has every disappointed. The dip is homemade, the slovaki is fresh, and everything is made to order.
The service, first and foremost, is amazing. Very friendly, and very attentive. They are always helpful with suggestions and are never seen with out a smile.
My recommendations: Start off with the trio dip, comes with some nice toasted pita and three different types of home-made dip. If you want something bigger to start with, go for the quail. Takes a little longer, but so savoury, your tastebuds will wanna die. I always go for the small plate of pork slovaki, with the greek salad and veggies on the side. the Greek salad is one of the BEST greek salads i've ever had. Delicious to the very last bite. If you're still hungry after, grab one of their cakes. Although not made in house, they have a very delicious selection of cakes to choose from.
One more thing, grab a coffee from them. Amazing coffee. I never go there without getting a cup or two, no matter how late in the night it is. They also have an amazing wine selection as well as some beer from Greece.
If you want to get satisfied, look no further than Loui's Kouzina! -

the restaurant was excellent. service was good, atmosphere okie. (kinda like a diner, small), packed but no line up. the raved trio was good but i would not recommend. fresh, tasty, delicious dips with fresh hot toasted pita. i believe the dips were hummus, tzatzki, and fish or flavoured like so. i find it was not worth the $10.50 sicne the tzatzki came with our dishes anyway and a diff app would have gave our meal more depth/variety.
the greek salad is amazingly fresh. the overall meal was awesome for greek food, had the gyro and chicken plate. with quality instilled in every bite, it is still the typical greek selection you see at jimmy the greek and mr. greek. this is a high recommend as a hidden gem uptown and a must try b/c this will sure turn into a regular hit up for greek.
our bill 45$ for two.
