Calypso Greek Taverna - Calgary

Best calimari I have had in calgary — hands down. Not chewy or overcooked; very tender, lightly battered, great flavour. My husband said his lamb was “the best I’ve EVER had.” His was fall off the bone and he loved the flavour. The appy platter for 2 fed 4 of us EASILY. If it were for 2 ppl you would not need dinner. No joke — it’s that huge.<br/ <br/ Our only comment would be to season the steak more. It was didn’t have much flavour. Everything else was amazing! Overall we were incredibly satisfied.

The Greek food here is very good! I absolutely loved the grape leaf wraps and of course the saganaki which is done properly and lit on fire at the table. Very friendly service and nice, Greek atmosphere.Definitely a return visit in my future

I just had a great lunch here today finding parking to try it out was a bit of a problem cause parking lot is not very big and was fairly busy. I got the lemon and rice soup and the soutzoukakia which is meatballs on rice cover in a tomato sauce. The soup tasted fine just seemed like in needed something just not sure what. The meatballs were very good were fairly large served withota of rice and tomato sauce was delicious brought the dish together.

All about trying new places this trip. Aunt was feeling Greek so we decided to try Calypso’s Taverna. We came on a Saturday evening around 7:00pm and there was maybe a handful of tables. So dead (thanks again Stampede). They have a TV and were playing Wheel of Fortune. Haven’t seen that show in years.

Went here Saturday night. There were 5 of us. My daughter wanted Greek food and not the standard Opa fare. I had Moussaka. It was good as it had just a hint of cinnamon. Nice large piece and as always I finished it all. Too bad there was no place to break the plate. <br/ <br/
