Bar Neon had been on my list but the offerings are too basic for me right now. LOL.
I was in the mood for a Pikilia (mixed grill or mixed seafood) to-go, and I checked out the offerings at the Danforth standards : Mezes, Kalyvia and Pantheon. Ultimately, I decided I didn’t want to deal with traffic to and from, as well as on the Danforth on Sunday, and I figured it would be busy because it was Mother’s Day.
Traffic had been insanely busy on Saturday.
I then noticed a spot in Burlington that has Cypriot Mezes- I’m going to get takeout from there one of these days, on my way from Toronto to London.
I tried Bar Koukla for brunch last year. It was pretty good, maybe a little gimmicky.
I haven’t tried That Freakin’ Greek on Harbord yet. It’s mostly souvlaki/gyros but they do have Cretan Dakos on the menu (rusks with salad)
I’ll have to check out the Turkish place you mentioned.
I had a good order of manti to-go, from
Anatolia last year.
For Iskender kabob at a fast food level, I’m pretty happy with the Best Istanbul Restaurant in Kensington Market . https://thebestistanbul.com/
Adding Mustafa to my list.
Simit & Chai is a nice coffee shop.
There’s also At Origin Turkish coffee shop on Mount Pleasant

, and Istanbul Café on Eglinton West of Mount Pleasant. https://istanbulcafe.ca/
