Three Kretans Greek Restaurant

My first time being here, was very impressed! The decor is amazing, they provide wifi as cell service isn't great with the restaurant in the basement. I had the calamari, it was cooked very well though I found the breading to be quite thick. The Gyro pita was excellent, fries had a nice seasoning on them so they didn't require salt. I found the prices to be reasonable

First time I came here was honestly bad. It was right before an event at the Aud, so they were overwhelmed. My other visits have been nice though I still think they could improve on customer service. The food for its price is good especially for Greek. I really enjoy the decor especially is the blue section with the pink flowers.

Very nice waiter good charisma. Quiet restaurant when we went (Saturday night), and food was flavoured nicely and a decent portion. Couldve been hotter, and thats really my only comment. I enjoyed it!! Also beautiful design and I hear it'll become even nicer soon :) Worth a visit.

Update: We visited again for sit-in after 6 months and they remembered us and were so hospitable and shared a wonderful drink (Arak) w us. From my family: "We felt at home!" Made our night for sure.

And, the food was hot and arrived so quickly, so my only comment from last time was solved.

Whether or not you like Greek food (but you should), these are the types of people you want to keep in business :)

First, this place is basically across the street from the Registry Theatre and a short walk from the Centre in the Square. A great spot for dinner before a show.

The Greek salad is delicious, fresh ingredients and a nicely balanced dressing. The feta cheese is present in every bite and super creamy, not the firm, chewy type.

The pork souvlaki is nicely presented on the skewer and is a good portion. Greek potato’s are lemony and have a slightly crisp exterior with a soft fluffy inside. The rice is nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked.

The atmosphere is a little dark, but it makes for an intimate setting. It would also be suitable for groups or a meeting. They have a flaming cheese appetizer. I am told it is delicious and they literally light it on fire in the dining room. We saw it, but had already ordered. Besides, now we have a reason to go back!

A nice hidden gem in Waterloo! Great foods, great decor, great service. We will definitely be back

Had a great evening here with my dad for dinner. The decor is amazing and the atmosphere is so enjoyable. Our server and the manager, Shawn, made sure we had a wonderful time and was very gracious. Had amazing cocktails, my dad had the martini and I had a cocktail with empress gin and it was so good. We started with the saganaki cheese which they wonderfully split in two. With our mains we had a great Greek red wine and afterwards we had dessert which was also wonderful and brought out with a candle as it was my dads birthday. Highly recommend !!

I'm so mad I've lived in Kitchener my whole life and only recently went here. But I loved it so much, went twice in the same week. The food is sooo good! The service was amazing and the decor is so pretty. It'll will be one of my new go to's.

Three Kretans! What can I say? It’s the bee’s knees, the absolute best spot on the planet. My husband, the Dora of the culinary world ( as I like to call him) discovered this spot for our anniversary, and boy, was I floored!
Let’s talk about the ambience first. It’s the ultimate spot for a romantic date night or a cozy valentine evening. The music sets the mood just right, and the decor? Simple yet classy.
Now, onto the food scene. We ordered dolmadakia, gyro on a pita, lamb souvlaki, and Baklava for a sweet ending. Each dish was like unlocking a flavour treasure chest!! And the wine, Apelia, it was like silk.
Wait, there’s more. The customer service? Exceptional. Our server, Ljiljana, was like the Greek goddess Hestia incarnate. She not only ensured we savoured every bite but also dropped some knowledge bombs on how to pair the wine and the food. Now here’s where it gets really sweet - we decided to split a baklava, thinking we couldn’t handle more. Without a word, Ljiljana divvied it up for us, sparing us the work. Talk about anticipating our needs!
After settling the bill, I couldn’t shake the feeling of not knowing our server’s name. So, I hurried back to ask for it, eager to mention her in my review. But she kept proving how sweet she was by insisting that I leave a general review! But the other staff, a gentleman, wrote her name on a piece of paper and handed it to me.
And I also got to meet the chef. God bless his hands!
We thanked them for making our anniversary extra special, and you won’t believe - they gave us an anniversary gift, a tiramisu!

Long story short, Three Kretans made our day, and then some. If you find yourself in the area, do yourself a favour and pay them a visit. You won’t regret it.

All in all was AMAZINGLY GREAT 💯. Feels like home enjoyed every bite and had a great time. What added great pleasure to all was the great glass of "Zahle" Lebanese Arak. It was a memorable pleasant dinner. Great Thanks to Sean and our cheerful waitress.

Clean, warm ambiance with a light greek touch. Knowledgeable attentive, unobtrusive staff.
Warm, smartly prepared and excellently served food! I highly recommend the tadzikie.

This place has really changed post renovations. Its absolutely perfect for a date night spot. The atmosphere is so gorgeous, the staff are friendly, the food and drinks are great and the prices are fair. I highly reccomend the mousakka and the lemon chicken soup!

We ordered delivery from Three Kretans for the first time yesterday and were blown away at how delicious everything is. We've had Greek before, generally from chain restaurants and there is quite frankly no comparison.
The skewers were moist, the potatoes were perfectly flavoured, and the baklava was heavenly. And I'm not embellishing.

The best Greek in the region, hands down.

The renovated restaurant was packed before a concert when we were there. The waitress did a fabulous job of taking our orders and delivering our food promptly. I had the chicken souvlaki and substituted fries for the rice and potatoes. It was delicious. Everyone in our party loved their food.
The only negative was the parking. It was weirdly labeled so we weren't sure we could park there. The driveway up to the upper parking is so steep that the front end of our car scraped the ground.
Despite the parking issues, the food and service more than made up for it and we will definitely be returning again.

Two friends took me to Three Kretans for my birthday dinner. We all enjoyed our shared appetizers, main dishes, and deserts. The Humus with Pita bread was a great choice for 3 people, as was the Saganaki OPA! The Souvlaki dinners are served with a separate salad. If they were both on one plate, you would get an even better sense of the sizable portion that it is. Coffee and very high quality deserts rounded out a filling meal. We took home a couple of containers of leftovers (including an extra order of desert).
Our server, Melanie, was very good in her role looking after us, and we enjoyed a few laughs together.
If you like a place where you're not crowded next to other diners, this is the place for you. The tables are spread out over two levels, and it's all very comfortable. For this visit (our first) we give Three Kretans a full 10 out of 10.
The photos, in order, are Humus, Saganaki, Cream of Broccoli, Greek Salad, Chicken Souvlaki, Moussaka, Tiramisu, and Bougatsa.

We had a very nice spur of the moment meal here. The platter was pretty terrific giving a good chance to try a little of everything. Tonight things were done well! Thanks!!

We ordered Three Kretans for takeaway lunch, and it was amazing!

I got the chicken souvlaki pita and greek salad, and the chicken was just melt in your mouth.

The ordering process was also so easy online, and the pick-up was great. It was still incredible after its trek from restaurant to work.

I honestly can't wait to have a full dine in experience sometime!

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and we enjoyed everything. The service is amazing, our waitress Sparrow is super friendly and gave us excellent recommendations. The food is great, I love love love the lamb chops, along with the desserts. My boyfriend is still asking me to come back just for the bougatsa. We’ll definitely be back!

Another favorite to add to my list. KW is definitely not disappointing. We have some great hidden GEMS here and NY taste buds are happy to find them. My experience at Three Kretans was great. The staff was friendly. I was greeted upon arrival with a warm welcome as she pointed out the lunch menu and recommended their top meals. The atmosphere itself was a whole vibe. Nicely decorated with great music made me feel like I was in Greece. Even though I've never been to Greece lol. The only negative was the washroom was out of service and parking sucks. However, no points lost because they did have someone in servicing the washroom and apologized for the inconvenience. And parking I got a ticket that allowed me to not get a real ticket for parking in a reserved lot. The waitress explained if you come over lunch parking lots 7-14 is theirs to use for free with no concerns for getting a ticket and if the lot is full, she'll give a little ticket to put in your dashboard to avoid getting a ticket. I got one of those as I parked in #33.

The food. Let's get to the real reason why we are here. Honey! The food was banging!!! Soooo good. Fresh, authentic Greek food. Great portions and cooked to perfection. My chicken soulaki cost me a little under $20 which is almost the same price of my McChicken meal. But sooo much healthier and delicious, you can't even compare the two.

I highly recommend you trying this place. You and your taste buds will not be disappointed. 5 stars all around!

Had an amazing date night at Three Kretans last night. Service from Sparrow was incredible - she was so patient, kind, and frequently checked in on us.

The atmosphere was lovely! The interior is beautiful and reminds me so much of the time I spent in Greece.

We ordered multiple appetizers, two entrees and the baklava. I was so happy to see that they had multiple vegetarian options. Everything tasted amazing. Prices were fair and portions were just enough to fill us up. The bruschetta, saganaki and mains were so tasty. The baklava was also a hit! Definitely the best Greek food I’ve tried in the region.

Just celebrated a birthday tonight. Our waitress was absolutely amazing .She has a gift of service for sure. The food was generous in size with lots of flavour. We hope to return. THANKS for a great night.
