SOUVLAKI MENU - Colossus Greek Taverna (Oakville)
SOUVLAKI DINNER PACKAGE
Choice of Chicken or Pork, 1x 7oz Stick or 2x 3.5oz Sticks. Served with Lemon Potatoes, Rice Pilaf, Greek Salad, Tzatziki and Pita
I have been to Colossus many times before, I have gone with large parties, a few friends, family, just my fiance and I. I have been there at different times and days, lunch on a wednesday, dinner on friday, late night on saturday etc. Every single experience was unforgettable. The taste and quality of the food is outstanding. It's not perfect, and I did have to send something back once but overall it's an excellent restaurant. I would reccomend making reservations, it's a guarantee you wont be rushed, or have to wait.
The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. Yes it's not a vast space with tons of room, but I like the intimacy. On many occasions I have ordered the Colossus Array, which consists of samples of most of the main dishes, 2 breasts of lemon chicken, 1 beef medallion, 3-4 greek sausages, 1 lg mousaka, salad, potatoes, rice, quail, lamb, and a bunch of other things i can't even remember. But for about 66.00 you get a lot of food! It is supposed to be for 2, but i usually take home enough food to make two large lunches the next day. I would highly reccommed it as you get a chance to try a chunk of the main dishes.
I have always recieved promt polite service from the staff. The pita and oil/balsamic starter is always quickly brought and refills are plentiful. The feta cheescake is amazing. Definatly worth a try!
Although the food was well presented, used fresh...
Although the food was well presented, used fresh ingredients and the taramosalata which was very good and you can tell was home made the problem I had was that the value sucked. With the souvlaki dinner there certainly was not much given for the price you paid compared to any Greek restaurant (casual or fine dining) lets say on the Danforth and it didn't have any special authentic flavour to it at all either. My Greek mother-in-law can put together a real quick meal that would taste more authentic than this place. The Kalamari barely had any feta that it was supposed to be stuffed with. The kicker although I do understand the price of flour and wheat rising is that the majority of times you go to a nice restaurant let alone European let alone Greek you get served with some bread or pita. I've also visited this restaurant before and it was customary to receive it. This visit I didn't receive any and when I politely asked for 'a' pita to accompany my dinner I was given one pita cut in 2 halves and charged for 2 pitas on my bill. Not acceptable when the cost of the meal itself is 20 to 25% more than what you would pay at a comparable place on the Danforth. Yes I know this is Oakville and not the Danforth and this place is a bit above casual dining (overlooking that this place is cramped) I felt that with the pricing and the product this restaurant put out they take advantage of their customers, although they do it with a smile.
Not returning.
A bit cramped. However, GREAT greek fare. Our favourite, despite having tried other greek restaurants on the Danforth & other parts of the GTA. We dine here 1-2x/month. Highly recommend it.
I guess if you own the Souvlaki Hut...Everything...
I guess if you own the Souvlaki Hut...Everything else is bad....Colossus is and I am sure will always be authentic Greek....
Always excellent....This is not fast food Greek food. The person below should be ashamed!
We live approximately 6 hours from Colossus. I stop and have a meal at the Colossus if I get the opportunity, everytime I am in town. Service is always great, very nice people.
I have brought small and big party size here and the experience has always been very positive. We are bringing our whole family at this restaurant today (March 1) to try the whole leg of lamb roast. looking forward to it..
