Soulas hits all the spots when it comes to serving delicious modern Greek food on the Danforth. The owners are very friendly, warm, and hospitable. We came during Stage 1 of economy re-opening during the COVID-19 pandemic, so dine-in and patio dining weren't open yet. From what I saw in the interior, it was nice with dark brown earthy colours on the walls, giving a warm and calm ambiance.
We got take-out and the experience was outstanding (they adhere to social distancing during ordering and pick-up). The portion sizes were BIG and very generous (and well-packaged for take-out), with extras of things that we didn't expect (for example, we didn't expect the zucchini croquettes to come with an extra salad). Here is the detailed breakdown of the menu items that we tried:
1) Neptune's Seafood Platter - Ginormous portion and they were very generous with the seafood (as well as the vegetables, seasoned rice, and potatoes). Seafood included grilled calamari (big whole calamaris), 4 big pieces of salmon and tilapia fish, lots of mussels and jumbo shrimps. The tomato sauce that came with the mussels was really good. The pan-seared vegetables included zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans. All of those were served on a thick bed of nicely seasoned rice and potatoes (LOTS of potatoes). It was enough for 3-5 people. Just the seafood platter by itself was a nice, wholesome meal (have your carbs, veggies, and protein all in one platter). Very good value for the amount of seafood & veggies they give you.
2) Halloumi & Arugula Salad - This was a pretty good salad with mixed greens, cucumber, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and a semi-sweet salad dressing. Quite refreshing and light. There were about 3-4 big grilled halloumi pieces, and the salad also came with crispy pita pieces.
3) Kolokithokeftedes (Zucchini Croquettes) - The croquettes were so-and-so. They were nice and crispy on the outside, with cheese and herbs in the inside. They were a nice complement to the seafood meal and halloumi & arugula salad, but nothing mind-blowing. The croquettes also came with a salad on its own.
Everything also came with complimentary garlic pita bread, which was nicely toasted (with grill / toast marks) and had really delectable infused garlic flavour.
Soulas is definitely one of the stand-out Greek restaurants on the Danforth. We'll be back again.
