Customer Reviews
“ The food was amazing and homemade. We had the beef and chicken souvlaki and both were so good. Calamari had a homemade breading and very tender. The service was exceptional. Resturant has a great Greek atmosphere. Ample parking. I recommend if you love Greek food. ”
“ Absolutely the best experience! It’s a little hole in the wall, and we gave it a try, we definitely don’t regret it. Best Greek food I’ve honestly tried in all of Edmonton. Very fresh and good tasting food. And the service was impeccable. Definitely coming back here! ”
“ Food was delicious! The lamb souvlaki was so juicy and everything that came with it was so flavorful. Best baklava I’ve ever had! They also have a great patio! We will be back ”
“ Food was amazing. We had the Spanakopita and Calamari for starters and for mains, we got the Arni Fournou (lamb was so tender and the potatoes were well seasoned and flavourful) and Chicken Souvlaki (a little dry but the tzatziki sauce made up for it). Will definitely come back. They have a pet friendly patio that has lots of seating too! ”
“ Highly recommend Ouzo Taverna! My wife and I had a great time and the service was incredible. Everything was so good; the tzatziki and dolmades were excellent appies. We loved the chicken souvlaki and the lamb chops...perfectly prepared!! I can't forget the lemon potatoes...so good. Make sure you have the baklava, its unreal and nothing like any I've had before! This is the best Greek food I have had anywhere in Edmonton. We will definitely be back and will bring friends. ”
“ My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time today and the food was amazing! Our server Kendra was exceptional with her service and so sweet, we’re definitely coming back. We ordered pita which was so fluffy with a side of tzatziki and it was so refreshing. We both ordered the beef Souvlaki and again just amazing the beef was so tender, the rice and potatoes were well seasoned and so flavourful. If you have a sweet tooth definitely order their Baklava. 10 out of 10 for service and food! ”
“ We went all out tonight for Greek Food. To be honest Greek has never been my favorite but my bestie LOVES Greek. We ended up at Ouzo after seeing a review on Facebook. We started with Dolmades along with Saganaki (pan fried kefalotiri cheese) and pita bread. Our main dish was the Arni Fournou ( slow roasted lamb with rice, potatoes and Greek salad). The service was great both our server Steve and the general manager Ross were very attentive. Gave suggestions when asked and told us to save some room for baklava. The Baklava was different than I have ever tasted. Lots of cinnamon and cloves. It was a great fall dessert. We left full and even have lunch for tomorrow. I will definitely eat Greek here again. We forgot to take pictures before we started eating, but as you can see the food looks delicious. (I could not add the picture, will try again) I would recommend to anybody that is looking for a new place to try out to check them out and see for yourself! ”
“ This is my new favourite place in Edmonton. The food was amazing, and I absolutely love that we could have our dog on the patio. Bonus, the patio is wheelchair accessible! I wish they offered Greek coffee, but Mythos on a hot summer day is absolutely perfect, too. ”
