Three Kretans

A group of us had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant this evening after a reccommendation made by the concierge at the Delta hotel. We made a reservation and were greeted warmly at the door and taken to our table. The restaurant was pretty busy. Within a few minutes our server came and introduced herself. She was friendly, and made reccommendations. We had a few bottles of Greek wine which was suprisingly good. Then, we ordered our appetizers and entées - all which came served hot. The food was plentiful and very fresh and flavourful. The lamb chops were one of the best I have ever tasted - seasoned and cooked perfectly. Although we were full, our server showed us their dessert tray which was a nice touch, and we ended up sharing a few. They were all fantastic - the majority homemade by the mom. We definitely will return, the service was excellent, the atmosphere great and the food - fantastic! It is obvious that the family who owns this place care for their customers, and it shows.

Two of us went here because it had great reviews and its really close to my place. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki and my friend ordered the Moussaka. I've never really had authentic greek food and I loved the Moussaka! The waitress was great and explained some of the food items on the menu. The meal was half salad which was nice and light. Mine came with the best Tzsiki sauce I've ever tasted! But overall the meal wasn't fantastic for the price and my friend was still hungry after a day full of Canoeing.

On of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had - especially for large group dining. We were a group of 30, it was for a work luncheon. We didn't have much time, so the restaurant made arrangements for us to preorder. The food was delicious and the service - seamless! Staff was very friendly and they have a great atmosphere. The only downfall was the parking and the place is a little bit hidden. During lunch hour, parking is limited (typical of downtown Kitchener) but we were re told about additional parking across the street at the KPL and the Centre in the Square. We were within walking distance, but a few chose to drive and weren't lucky in the parking dept. During dinner hours however, all lots are for the restaurant which is nice. None of our orders were mixed up and we even had time to relax, chat and have some coffee and dessert. For any baklava lovers, they have the best baklava ever - not too sweet and you could tell it was fresh (they make it themselves). Great job overall, will be going again for dinner.

The food was not bad but ordinary. We were disappointed since we had read the reviews. The waitress was very nice and helpful. It just seem to lack something, something different than regular Greek foods. Not sure if we will go back.

We had our work Christmas party here. I had never been to the restaurant before, and it is a bit hidden. There were 12 of us, and we were looked after from the moment we walked in. The restaurant itself is very bright, clean and accommodating. Our waiter, who was also one of the owners, was very polite and helpful. The restaurant was packed because there was something going on at the theatre, so you would think service and food would slide, however this was not the case. Our drinks, the wine that was reccommended, apps and entrees were excellent. To top it off, the desserts were amazing - made in house by the mom. The mother also went around checking on everyone which was a nice touch. This was a very nice place and I wll definitely return.

A good Greek restaurant, not the best, but quite good.
The lamb, while tasty, was not quite as tender as I would have liked. Same for the chicken. Rice tasted like instant rice and was a little overcooked.
Server was excellent. We liked the Greek-Aegean theme-decor.

And i mean every word of that title. To get to the Three Kretens, the way we went in, was through the hallways of a YWCA. Dark, tile floors, and we even passed by the restrooms for the gym. But once we walked into the restaurant, it became a magnificant night. The colours in this place are almost blinding. About this dinner for 2, my dear decided that we were having it... i'm not one to turn down food so thats what we had. A platter came out full of meet and greek touches. We recieved 2 lamb shanks, a huge chicked souvlaki, a huge pork souvlaki, a lasagna type thing with egg plant, and 2 greek randitions of cabbage rolls but with grape leaves, 2 piles of rice, potatos and taziki sauce. And once Jax was done eating, i was sure the plate went back empty. Our surver was amazing, explained everything to us, brought out a plate full of desserts for us to pick from. It was an amazing dinner, i wouldnt have changed a thing and i cant wait to go back.

This was my first time to this restaurant, I came across it driving by one day and decided to give it a shot since I love Greek food! It was a Friday, we had no reservations, and the place was almost packed. The lady at the door was very courteous and friendly and gave us a table right away. Our server was so nice and attentive, always checked on us, and most importantly the food was amazing! The best part was the dessert, I don't remember what it was called, but it came warm out of the oven and it had both custard and filo pastry, icing sugar and cinnamon. Will definitely go back!

I go here quite often for lunch. The keftethes and pakilia are great. Service is good, the place is clean, and cooking is quick.

The restaurant is tricky to find (it's on the side street in the basement), but inside it is beautiful, the service is good, and the food meets expectations. The Greek stew is very genuine with an excellent flavor, and comes with rice, grilled red pepper, and herbed potatoes. The starter soup of the house (the amlemong...) is also very good. They don't provide pita with the meals, so ask for it. I'll definitely dine there again.
