   Great location, nice ambiance. Food was ok. Greek salad was not "fresh" super mushy tomatoes. Souvlaki was good, but came with one small slice of potatoe. Nice vibe though, and may come back again as its in the neighborhood.

   Good neighbourhood restaurant. Very busy and doing a great business with takeout orders. But I was seated within 5 minutes of arriving for my reserved time. The wait staff were busy but did came by within a reasonable time. The food arrived quickly and was tasty. Nothing fancy but good comfort food. The portions were generous.

   From the get-go this was not the best experience. We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation, which we booked through open-table. At first, they could not find our reservation, but once they did, we were told our table would be ready in « a moment . » I understood that to mean that we would be seated shortly. I witnessed 3 empty tables, all in separate locations, which were fully set. Those tables remained unoccupied for about 40 minutes. When I asked why we had not been seated yet, I received a snappy response, that it was a busy day and that everyone was waiting an additional 30-40 minutes. Interestingly, guests without reservations were being told that the wait was « around 20 minutes. » After my query, I was quickly seated. A couple who had arrived about 5 minutes after us, with no reservation, were seated at the same time. By the way, those 3 tables, were still unoccupied as we walked passed them. We were seated at a table that was not yet set. There were napkins and knives, but no glasses, no forks, spoons, menus... We ordered Calamari, chicken souvlaki, and beef souvlaki. The Calamari was brought to our table Shockley fast. It was not particularly tasty on its own, but it was served with a very flavorful tzatziki sauce. The sauce was overwhelmingly garlic-y. Next came out main platters, which were rice, Greek salad, and a seasoned potato, with our choice of meat. Rice was good, perfectly flavored, perfectly cooked. Salad was good, tasty, and fresh, although the red onion could have been toned down a bit. Chicken was AWFUL. I actually had to wait until our server came by, so that I could get some water to swallow the chicken. It tasted flavorless and had no moistness to it. I definitely would not order the chicken again. The beef, was a little more tender? But ultimately lacked any flavor. For dessert we tried their Tiramisu, which was good. In fact, it was the best part of the meal. Final bill: $130, for that price I expect much better :(

   A great family restaurant with exceptional food, generous portions and a warm reception. One of our favorite places to go when we’re in Vancouver. It’s tucked into a neighbourhood, away from the big city entertainment areas, has an original feel and is obviously popular with the local people. A great place to unwind with friendly staff. I always leave feeling like it was time (and money) well spent!

   Reserved on this site a table for 2 away from Foot traffic, bar and restrooms. Guess where they put us? Right where we asked not to be!!! So much for reserving! We ordered double order of prawns and extra Greek salad souvlaki with spaghetti and meatballs. The salad came warmer than the other food! Then 2/3 thru this below palatable meal, the owner asked us if everything was ok only to park His Butt in my wife’s space so he could chat with friends on the other side if the pony wall! Disgusting flatulence and a poor meal do not warrant a favourable review in this run down poor excuse for a restaurant. Way overpriced for sub-mediocre food and service. Won’t be going there again!!!
