Colossus Greek Taverna

6 of us went for dinner here last night.
I had the «rack of lamb» and asked for it to be done medium. It was perfect!
My friends had souvlaki (pork and chicken) and another had a special for the evening; a seafood paella. We all loved our meals.
The reasons for the 4 out of 5 stars was the Baklava. It was syrupy just like I enjoy it but it came with some fruit poured on it that looked like carrots and potatoes.
Also they screwed up our reservation; it was 6 people for 7:00 and not 7 for 6:00 but they did manage to accommodate us quite quickly despite being a very busy place.
Reservations are a must.
Definitely will go back.

Came here for a afternoon lunch event. The service was really great. Our waitress was always checking up in us and making great and funny conversation. The gentlemen serving drinks were quick and on the ball. With regard to the food, we had a platter of bread with a variety of dips, feta, and grilled veggies. All of which was delicious! We also had grilled and fried calamari. The grilled was really great, good flavour. The deep fried, just your normal deep fried calamari. The main meal was lamb chops with potatoes and grilled vegetables. The lamb was a bit on the gamey side, but the veggies and potatoes were awesome!

Beautiful place! Went on a Saturday night with a couple of friends. It gets very busy so I would recommend making a reservation in advance.
We shared some appetizers and drank Greek beer. Everything was delicious! And the portions are big. We had the Pikilia, which comes with assorted spreads, pita, feta, olives, stuffed wine leaves and the spinach pastry. We also ordered the salmon-​wrapped asparagus and the mussels, but our favourite was the Pikilia, it’s perfect for sharing and you get to taste different Greek plates.
Service was amazing and the hostess was lovely. We’ll be definitely going back to this place.

The ambiance was lovely (they opened the front windows to expose the outdoors) and the food on a whole was amazing.
The service however, was quite slow. The server took the appetizer order and did not return to take the entrée order until AFTER everyone was finished with the appetizer. The entrées took quite a long time to arrive (approximately 30 minutes).
While the food was great, I didn’t expect to be at dinner for over 2 hours on a Monday night. Unfortunately I missed my after dinner plans because of the delay.

quality tastes good. pork is tender. portions are a little small compared to other greek restos. i wish they would put some sauce on the rice. overall i’m a fan.

The food here was tasty.
I did not find anything particularly special on their menu.
I would give this place 3.5 stars.

Hidden Greek resto gem! I feel like Port credit carries most of Mississauga’s best restaurants!
This place is very cute! A great place to go for a date or have a great family lunch or dinner!
The servers are very nice but I was a wee bit disappointed to find out that they don’t serve the gyros during dinner. I was looking forward to it too :(. Nevertheless we started with the stuffed kalamari with crab, tomatoes and scallops and it was really good! The kalamari was right at the point of almost being overdone but taken off the grill just in the nick of time! Squeezed fresh lemon juice and omgg… So nicely done!
I ordered their chicken rice souvlaki dinner and my date had the pork souvlaki! The chicken was very tender and flavorful! Salad was crisp and fresh, the rice has some orzo in it and it tasted good, the potatoes were tender and lemony! Mm! The pork souvlaki had bonus points for taste but a little to overdone for me.
We finished off with their Ferrero Roche cheesecake, so delicious!!! I could do without the chocolate drizzle but I didn’t mind!
I highly recommend this place if your looking for something that’s easy on your wallet for a big portioned meal!

Came here with a group of friends for a night out.
Had a good experience from beginning to end.
We were boring with our choices of food and choose to get lamb, and chicken souvlakis. We were impressed with our choices. We each ordered an alcoholic drink. All of them were made well.
Although it was a busy night, the service was still great. Attentive but they did not overdo it.
The food was delicious, great portions and good quality.
Solid authentic Greek place to add to the list of food restaurants in port credit!
Check this one out :)

Colossus was packed with local students during the lunch hour, so it probably best to visit after 1 pm. And «souvlaki» sounds lovely with a Canadian accent.
The village salad is a good idea, especially the feta. The tomatoes may be the weakest part of the salad, which is strange considering that this is the Land of Tomatoes. The greek fries are akin to steak fries, and were good. The spinach pies were also quite good, especially with the tzatziki, which has the perfect amount of dill.
I would pass on the cold eggplant salad. It wasn’t great, and the pita costs 0.95 extra (that is a bit petty). The bread basket at the beginning of the meal is also a pass.
There’s a small parking lot and metered street parking, which seems to be vigilantly enforced.
For a quick lunch on your way in or out of TO, it’s a good option!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! A friend and I discovered it in the summer in our wanderings around Port Credit.
The last time I was there, I had the saganaki, (which was amazing) the lamb chops (perfectly seasoned) and my friend had the rack of lamb (which was amazing).
The bread they serve is warm and fresh with some olive oil and balsamic dip.
I definitely would recommend this place!

We have come here about three times over the past 6 yrs. (4 hr drive for us) the first time I had this lamb dish with dill sauce that I just died when I tasted it, amazing couldn’t wait to go back again. The next time a few years later the dish was off the menu but they made for me anyways and I was seriously happy. So yesterday when we were in the area again we had to go. The dish I was told was popular but not on the menu and also told it was a special on the menu this summer. Had the lamb kabobs it was o. k but nothing special. Why not make the customer happy or offer another sauce? My point is there is no reason to go back again. Why get ride of something that made them unique and special? I can get Greek in my city just the same, very sad such a good thing had to end.

Tried this place out for the first time last night. My boyfriend and I were out for «date night». The food was amazing, the atmosphere was wonderful and the service was quick and friendly. Great experience, will definitely return.

I have always really enjoyed this spot. There is one in downtown Oakville as well which I find is a bit more elegant. Nonetheless, Colossus on lakeshore is a must if you are in the area looking for Greek food. I have not tried something I didn’t like. There is a platter for two that comes with everything under the sun from Quail to Greek salad and moussaka. It is all yummy!

Its always a good sign to see a packed restaurant on Tuesday night.
Wonderful service, everyone works as a team and the attitude shines through.
We were served bread with olive oil and balsamic to start off.
I ordered my favourite starter Saganaki, which itself has a beautiful presentation. It is fried sheep cheese with a squeeze of lemon.
For my main, I got exohiko, which pulled lamb, spinach, onion in a philo pastry served over rice.
My friend got the mousakka, small delicious bowl covered in cheese.
Didn’t order any drinks or desserts. Water was only filled up once.
Can’t wait to return back and order something different!

Adore the atmosphere and loved the service. Seems like such a hidden gem that you don’t wanna tell many people about because you wanna keep it to yourself. It’s the type of place you impress a date with.

I usually don’t care for Greek food, but Colossus has got to be the best I’ve ever had! The Pork Souvlaki pita was delicious and juicy, the Babaganoush was amazing and the pitas perfectly toasted!
The menu boasts organic greens and high quality ingredients and you can really taste it in the food.
We sat inside as it was a little muggy out, turns out that there was a downpour and the poor patio patrons got soaked (haha)
The place got a little chaotic after that and the service suffered a bit but I couldn’t complain. We were dry and our food was awesome.
OPA!

I absolutely love this place! I started coming here about a year ago regularly. as noted in my tip, try one of their Greek adapted cocktails, they are great with starters. In particular I am a big fan of the Bloody Aristotle with its amazing dill flavour, and the Skinos Sour. The Sangria is also very good.
My favorite dishes here include the Mousaka, the Saganaki and the Spetsofai. I have also tried the «Array» which is a platter meant to serve 2, though in reality it can serve 3 or 4. If you go with a small group order this along with some starters and you will have lots to choose from.
The service here is excellent! The staff are friendly with kids and provide useful suggestions. They do a great job with take out as well, and I am actually going to use them to cater a party that I will be hosting this summer.

What a gem in Port Credit — serving up GGC (Great Greek cuisine)!
Located on the East end of Port Credit’s Lakeshore strip, this spot is a shining beacon that brings Free Greeks (and all other people) from all corners of the map!
It’s a little cramped in terms of space and layout but this seems to be consistent with most of my Greek Restaurant experiences, but still surprisingly packed at Lunch on a Thursday. Is scored a cozy little
Love the bread they serve while you wait for your meal with Greek Olive Oil and vinegar to dip — reminds me of an Italian restaurant, except so obviously Greek! Yumm!
I was torn about what to order, and after explaining where I was stuck my server (who was lovely — a total mom) told me that the Gyro dinner was a lot of food and the other dishes I was considering wouldn’t quite do the trick. Done!
Ordered the Gyro dinner which came with Greek salad, tzatziki server in a spoon (cool!), lemon potatoes and rice pilaf
The serving of Gyro was fantastic, so much meat — great value for your money ($ 10.95), the salad was one of the best Greek salads I’ve ever had, and the potatoes well… those were amazing also. I’m not usually a fan of the double carb meal but the rice was moist as well and I couldn’t help to eat a half of what was given.
Price was so reasonable, I almost wanted to order more. Food was incredible, but I was so full!
This is my new GOTOGREEK #G2G spot in the GTA!

All right so I was there Saturday night for a birthday dinner. The only complaint that I have is that we were 6 people put at a table by the door that every time the door opened we froze.
We started with a few apps. We had the fried calamari and the saganaki. Both were amazing no complaints
My main course was the lamb souvlaki its was cooked to perfection. The rice and potatoes were awesome as well. The salad lacked dressing but no biggie its only salad
Service was great. If you are looking for a great Greek restaurant check this place out

Food — 2.5*, Service — higher
I’ve been wanting to go to Colossus for a while now, so I jumped at the chance when a gf suggested Greek for lunch!
The restaurant itself is cute and quaint. Service was friendly, patient, and prompt. All good signs,
BUT
In all honesty, I was quite disappointed with the food. To test out the restaurant, I ordered the staple Greek meal, Pork Soulaki Entrée. Prices were quite reasonable at $ 10.95 which included a coupla large potato pieces, rice, Greek salad, and the meat. Good portion at a great price point!
All the staples, re: potatoes, rice, & pork were dry and bland. In addition, rice was slightly undercooked and seemed like it was left sittin’ out (dry). There wasn’t any sauce with the potatoes. And the pork was overcooked (dry). Everything needed a bit more salt and I am not a sodium addict. The flavours were almost there, but lacked something. My dish didn’t come with a lemon wedge, so I wasn’t able to liven things up.
I’ve had better at the mall food court. Salad was fresh tho’!
Since the service was pleasant and setting was pretty, esp. at night, I’d give them another chance. Maybe they were having an off-​day?
