In 2002, Toula Nikolopoulos left for a two-month vacation in Greece. It took her five years to get back home.
She fell in love with the Mediterranean lifestyle and stayed to explore the sights, the sounds and the tastes of her ancestral homeland. Her cultural and culinary odyssey eventually brought her back to East York with a single goal: to share the hospitality and cuisine of Greece with her neighbours.
Within a few weeks of her return, she’d taken over part of the family home at the corner of Oak Park and Lumdsen and transformed it into the Oak Park Deli. Since October of 2006, Toula has been serving made-to-order meals to East York familes through the deli counter, as well as providing catering services to various organizations and for various functions throughout the GTA.
The secret of her success is simple: home-cooked goodness, with a Hellenic twist. It takes a little longer, but the extra care means extra fresh food that you’ll savour with every bite.
“I could literally eat the roast beef melt every single day! The cheese bread is always fresh and the meat and toppings are never a little! They are super generous with the amount they put, every single time. I have been ordering from this spot for so long and finally decided to go into the store. It was great meeting Toula and exchanging conversation about the store she answered all my questions and provided me with excellent service! Please go here and try the sandwiches yourself! You will not be disappointed.”
