Souvlaki Emporium

Located in the heart of Toronto’s vibrant Dupont Street corridor, Souvlaki Emporium is a beloved Greek restaurant that invites you to dive deep into authentic Mediterranean flavors brimming with freshness, warmth, and heart. Specializing in traditional Greek fare, this cozy eatery artfully balances generous portions with exceptional quality, making every meal an experience to savor.

From the moment your Chicken Souvlaki Dinner arrives—served alongside crisp Greek salad, fluffy, flavourful rice, and those irresistibly golden roasted potatoes—you know you are in for something special. The chicken, perfectly tender and grilled to juicy perfection, pairs harmoniously with a heavenly garlic tzatziki sauce that customers rave about. It's a plate that dances with vibrant Mediterranean spices and comfort, promising satisfaction in every bite.

The menu extends beyond souvlaki to offer a delightful range of dishes to suit every craving. The Chicken Gyro, wrapped delicately in warm pita with fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and that cool, creamy tzatziki, is an absolute crowd-pleaser.

Whatever you choose, expect platefuls brimming with rich textures and robust tastes. The sides alone could steal the show: crisp Greek Fries, perfectly flaky Spanakopita, and the luscious sweetness of freshly baked Baklava provide an authentic touch that elevates the meal. The Gyro Fries, topped with succulent chicken gyro, garlic aioli, and a sprinkle of oregano, offer a creative, indulgent twist that’s gained plenty of loyal fans.
