Loui's Kouzina :: Greek-ing it Out!
Tzatziki ($5.25)
thick and creamy pressed yogurt blended with fresh cucumber and just the right amount of garlic
The tzatziki is delicious and the portion is generous. It is refreshing, light, yet addicting - beware, consuming this appetizer without caution may lead it become your actual entree. What's amazing that it also tastes great with the souvlaki or the complimentary garlic bread (not pictured - but delicious!) if you have any left when those arrive.
Fried Kalamari ($9.25)
lightly tossed in seasoned flour and fried
Loui's Fried Kalamari is fried - yet is light on the palette. The batter compliments the kalamari and does not weigh it down. Adding the dash of lemon - and this is delicious simple fried kalamari. No need for the bells and whistles, though it tastes great with tzatziki.
Pork Souvlaki & Lamb Souvlaki (Large; $13.95, $14.95)
large plates are served with Greek Salad, tzatziki, and a choice of two the following - fries, rice, roasted potatoes, and mixed vegetables
Both the souvlakis - pork and lamb - were average. Although both souvlakis were moist, they were on the slightly dry side of my personal preference scale. However, for any Greek dish - the star of the entree for myself are in the roasted potatoes - and Loui's Kouzina did not disappoint. Savory and doused in sauce - the potatoes hit the spot. Also my other favourite side, Greek salad, was delicious (as it is very rare that its done horribly wrong), but it could use more feta cheese and dressing.
Loui's Kouzina, although not a terribly small restaurant, is the theoretical "hole-in-the-wall" gem of Greek cuisine in Markham. However, I personally have not seen the restaurant teaming with customers or ever having a wait to be seated - the food is consistently delicious and tastes very authentic "home-kitchen" Greek. Although the simplicity of the food is enhanced by great execution and flavouring - the slow service may be the reason it has not reached its potential. If you are not dining in a rush and enjoy simple, but authentic, Greek food - Loui's Kouzina is right up your alley - and for a decent price.

Dessert Kitchen :: Post Hip Hop Workout Snack with Carson
Mini Watermelon Bowl Special ($11.99)
whole watermelon hollowed out with lychee jelly, grass jelly, sago, and assorted fruits
This was my first visit to Dessert Kitchen, despite passing by it on almost a daily basis. I will most definitely be returning to Dessert Kitchen to try the other delectable desserts. Additionally, the staff was attentive - though I do not know if this is attributed to the fact that we went in the middle of the day and no other customers were present. The Mini Watermelon Bowl, although on the slightly pricy side, is a generous portion and is great for sharing between two people. It's without a doubt extremely refreshing and a light dessert. However, be cautioned: although it is light - the portion itself is filling!

Milestone :: Upcoming Menu Preview
Milestone will be soon adding a few items to their menu. One of the items that will be added to the menu will be a pan seared halibut on quinoa served with Asian veggies! Most Milestones serve this dish in limited quantities at the moment (usually disguised as an off the menu special of the day).
Pan Seared Halibut on Quinoa & Side of Asian Vegetables
This dish was pretty decent. My favourite of the 3 parts of the dish was actually the quinoa. It was light, fluffy, and quite flavourful. My second favourite component of the dish was the halibut. It was seared well and was light and crispy. Moisture of the fish was also sealed in. However, I did not enjoy the vegetables as they were bitter (although others who enjoy bitter flavours may enjoy it).
