Warm, inviting and delicious When you enter Dorian Greek House — with its warm, inviting atmosphere, attentive service, and of course, its fabulous Greek cuisine — you may feel you have landed in Greece itself.

The restaurant offers classic, flavourful Greek cuisine, a variety of Italian pastas, as well as steaks and seafood dishes.

Some of the mouthwatering Mediterranean menu items Dorian diners rave about include succulent roast lamb, chicken souvlaki grilled to perfection, light and crispy calamari and flambé saganaki. Some customers go so far as to say it’s the best Greek food they’ve ever had. Anywhere.

Known for its extremely generous portions, regular customers have learned to come hungry.

Very hungry.

Owners Jimmy and Diane and their staff provide friendly service and exceptional food at affordable prices.

Hoja Mongolian Grill

Made fresh before your eyes Everyone knows that downtown is the place to go for great food, inviting ambiance and friendly people. It’s where you’ll find Hoja Mongolian Grill, known for its healthy, fresh food, made right before your eyes.

One of the reasons for Hoja Mongolian Grill’s popularity is that customers custom design their meal to their liking. You choose the ingredients from a fresh, whole-food buffet, then choose your own flavor combination with the sauce bar. Take your creation to Hoja’s chef, and watch as he cooks your meal on the restaurant’s famous Mongolian grill — a grill so hot it requires little oil and little time to create a sizzling plate of fresh food.

In addition to the main course, Hoja also serves fresh homemade Mongolian hot pot soup and a delicious selection of desserts.
