Souv Like is a takeout joint for souvlaki and other traditional Greek food dishes. 

Tony Rexhepaj opened the restaurant in 2017. He had owned small restaurants with his two brothers in Greece before moving to Canada a decade ago.

Also known as Horitiki, it combines chunks of tomato with cucumber, sliced green peppers and white onions, and is finished with Kalamata olives, parsley and feta cheese.

I like the contrast of the juicy tomatoes that come alive with the salty olives and savoury flavours of the feta.
