Founders Angelo & Doxa Makrydakis immigrated to Canada from the Greek island of Crete. In 1996, the felt that Kitchener needed a Greek dining experience where customers would feel welcomed and a part of the family in warm, casual atmosphere. Soon after, the Three Kretans were born. Named after their 3 sons – Gus, Zack, and Niko – they succeeded in bringing the tastes of their native Greece back to KW. With fresh ingredients, traditional Greek dishes and house-made desserts prepared daily, Three Kretans has established itself as being Kitchener-Waterloo’s #1 Greek restaurant for over 25 years.
