The order a table of three usually settles on at Sakis is the Greek Platter for Two: two proteins from the souvlaki, gyro and shawarma side of the menu over rice and roasted potatoes, with Greek salad, pita, tzatziki and garlic sauce arranged around the platter, sized to feed the third diner without anyone giving up a main. That platter is the cleanest argument for the small Aldershot kitchen Chef Sakis and his family built into the Plains Road East strip: a single-discipline Greek and Mediterranean menu engineered for sharing and for value, with the same plate doing double duty as a weeknight dinner, a takeout order, and tomorrow's lunch.
The current menu reads like a working Greek counter that has decided to take its grilling seriously. A chicken souvlaki dinner runs two skewers over rice, roasted potatoes, Greek salad, pita, tzatziki and garlic sauce — the same supporting cast as the platter, on a single plate. Pork souvlaki, chicken shawarma and gyro all show up in pita-sandwich form, and a falafel dinner sits alongside the meat plates for vegetarian tables. The Sakis Mixed Dinner pulls multiple proteins onto one platter for groups who want the full lineup. Baklava waits at the back of the menu where the rest of the kitchen's habits would expect it. The distinctive side is Greek Fries — hand-cut fries under house-made garlic sauce and crumbled feta, with meat-and-poutine variants on the same listing — and the tzatziki and garlic sauce are made fresh in the kitchen every day, scaled to do real work on every plate.
The current story is simple and useful: Sakis is family owned and operated in Burlington, opened in 2016 by Chef Sakis with family help. That gives the restaurant a personal identity without needing an inflated biography.
The strongest ordering pattern is abundance: dinner plates arrive with sides and sauces, while the platters combine multiple proteins with salad, rice, potatoes, pita, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. Sakis is built for diners who want a full plate.
Chicken souvlaki, pork souvlaki, gyro, tzatziki, garlic sauce, and Greek fries carry the restaurant more than novelty does. The appeal is familiar Greek food executed with a clear, repeatable house rhythm.
Sakis earns this card through bundled dinner plates, generous platters, and a lunch combo that keeps the meal practical. The value is not just low pricing; it is the way rice, potatoes, salad, pita, and sauces are built into the core orders.
The sharing case is strong because the Greek Platter for 2 and larger platter format let two or more diners cover multiple proteins, sides, pita, and sauces without a fussy sequence. Sakis works especially well when a group wants one generous spread.
Sakis has a menu shape that travels cleanly: pitas, dinner plates, Greek fries, platters, and sauce sides all make sense away from the dining room. The lunch special is also explicitly built for walk-in and takeout visits.
The comfort here is concrete: grilled meat, rice, roasted potatoes, Greek salad, pita, tzatziki, garlic sauce, and fries with feta. Sakis is strongest when the order leans into full plates and sauce-heavy sides rather than novelty.
Sakis is useful for family ordering because the menu has clear, familiar choices across pitas, chicken fingers, fries, salads, and full dinner plates. Groups can keep picky and hearty eaters in the same order without losing the Greek centre of gravity.
