Unfortunately all that expensive celebratory plate-smashing is reflected in the prices of these Greek dishes. The Greeks know how to do hospitality, however the souvlaki was anything but spectacular. Compliments are deserved for their succulent kleftiko, humus and whole wheat pita dishes, as well as their selection of vegetarian meals. The Grecian décor is overdone, though the generous portions of food are true to the owner’s countryside upbringing in Kalamata, Greece. As per usual, I always prefer quality over quantity. - E.J.

3 Reader Reviews | Food is awesome! I have been here many, many times over the last few years and have never been disappointed with the food. Service is a different matter. To clarify, most staff are friendly, helpful and courteous. It is the one male server with an attitude - bad one I might add- that makes me give a 3 star rating. But I overlook that as the food is so dee-lish!
We were turned away once because we didn't have a reservation (party of 3!) and were asked to come back in half an hour. My guess is that the mediocre Vietnamese restaurant beside them does benefit from them turning away customers...

Kalamata's is simply the best! The food is absolutely delicious! and always cooked to perfection. Staphi and his staff always makes us feel welcome and provide us with excellent service. If you are looking for healthy, great tasting, Greek cuisine, Kalamata's is the place to go. Absolutely affordable as well. They can get busy though, so I would recommend reservations.
Enjoy!!

I just read the review and thought it would be a good place to try in the neighbourhood-- and went to place an order for pick up.
They told me that they were too busy...
Oh well. Must be nice to have so much business that you can turn people away.
I will go elsewhere.
