Tzatziki

What is Tzatziki? Originally a long-standing Pape Village staple before transit construction prompted a move, Tzatziki has settled into a bright, easygoing home at 971 O'Connor Drive in East York. Run by the Konstantinidis family, the casual tavern combines a clean, unfussy dining room with an open rotisserie counter and a seasonal outdoor patio. It bridges the gap between a classic Athens street-food joint and a neighbourhood sit-down, with vertical spits carving gyros daily.

Tzatziki Menu & What to Order The shaved pork gyro wrapped in thick, pillowy pita with crisp fries, sliced onions, tomatoes, and potent garlic-rich house tzatziki is the standard order for good reason. Beyond skewers and sizzling slabs of saganaki, this O'Connor kitchen stands out by serving daily *magirefta*—traditional slow-simmered home-style Greek stews like yiouvetsi, lamb fricassee, and kokkinisto. The chicken souvlaki dinner platter is generous and well-seasoned over lemon-roasted potatoes and rice, while dessert calls for housemade galaktoboureko or syrupy baklava.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in, with quick counter service, high table turnover at peak dinner hours, and a steady stream of takeout orders. Street parking lines O'Connor Drive, and the TTC 70 O'Connor bus drops off right steps away. Operating seven days a week with marathon hours extending into the early morning, it serves as one of East York’s most dependable late-night dining outposts.
