"Your healthy alternative to fast food restaurants"
Melodie's is a great restaurant that provides nutritious Mediterranean cuisine. The business is owned and operated by a good friend of mine and his family. They are all great people and this shines through with their excellent customer service.
Melodie's has a very large menu and they specialize in catering. Standard Mediterranean appetizers are available like houmos, taboule, and baba ghanouj along with grilled vegetables and fresh salads. The rest of the massive menu is comprised of shawarmas, kebabs, pastas, rices, meat platters, sandwiches and pita pockets.
I typically order the chicken shawarma plate and I am never disappointed. The portion is sizeable but the food is very light because of the way they cook it. The food is not greasy, heavy or overpowering in flavour, it is just right. Accompanying the shawarma meat is a nice bed of white rice, salad, and my favourite grilled vegetables like the eggplant which are marinated in olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and then charred on the grill then re-submerged in the prior marinade...!. Aside from the shawarma plat I have also tried the chicken souvlaki, again very tender, juicy and by no means greasy.
In addition to the wonderful shawarmas and souvlaki are the falafels and kebabs. I have yet to try either and they are on my to do list for the near future as I have heard they're great. Recommended to me are the beef shish kebabs made from tenderloin, supposedly to die for and on the to do list as well.
If you are looking for a healthy alternative or simply to switch it up, give Melodie's a shot. -
Review from Jennifer K.
Markham, ON
I have to drag my friend away from Hero Burger next door so I can try some of the Healthy selections at Melodie's...
Specials of the Day are written on the chalk broad right by the cashier...
Beef Kebob (Kafta) and Greek Salad to share was a perfect lunch. The lemonade was a disappointment though as it didn't take fresh at all.
Services was friendly.
If you in the area, and you want something different than just Asian food... I definitely suggest to give Melodie's a try!
