50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Burnaby

“Brilliant Donair“

“This place is QUITE!! The wait staff is exceptional and the food is to die for. If as higher rating had been available they would be higher.
We sat outside, the weather was nice. Reservations were for 7pm and we were seated immediately.
It was our 30th anniversary, I made the reservation using the “Open Table” app and when EVERYONE greeted us, they wished us “Happy Anniversary”“

“Such a good food and staff, love this place! ❤👌“

“This is not your normal restaurant. This is more like a casual hangout cafe. Walked in to order because I couldn't find a menu online. 0rdered the platter for one and sausage, it was more than enough for 2 people. Platter comes with lots of different favorful meats served with rice and grilled veggies. Try it! Call ahead to pickup!“

“Made reservations for 6pm. Good thing as the place was packed. Ordered the grilled calamari, it was unbelievable. For my main I ordered the lamb shoulder, highly recommend, so tender and seasoned perfectly and the rice was so nice and fluffy. Pita bread came in a stack served warm and soft. I pretty much licked my plate clean. That's how good the food was. 👍“

“Awesome place to dine in. Great food, great entertainment.“

“I went to your restaurant for the first time this Oct. The love you showed us through your food is beyond any words could say. The food was amazing, and the family-style service allowed me to try a variety of excellent Palestinian cuisine. I cannot wait to bring my family and eat again at your restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend your food and restaurant.“

“First time ever trying Armenian food. It was fantastic! Great food, great service. Thanks again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Great food! Easy access within Vancouver ( we biked here)“

“We ordered food several times for our office meeting lunches (up to 40 orders) and every time the food quality and quantity was amazing and exceeded our expectations. Alex was very accommodating and helpful while processing food order and figuring out the logistics. Thank you Hungry Zus, we will be back! Irena“

“Homa restaurant has healthy and delicious food and its employees are kind, active and compassionate with new management. Thank you.“

“I really wanted to thank this establishment as it provided my family of 4 the best meal since arriving in canada on holiday from uk. We generally eat Persian food in the UK and was delighted to find this place, food, atmosphere and price was excellent. We will be visiting 1 or 2 more times before heading back to the UK.“

I always recommend this place for anytime dinning. The staff are amazing and the recommendations are on point. ny favorite time to go are evenings - intimate and cozy. 5 stars !!!!“

“It’s always awesome to have great and fresh food with amazing varieties of items of both vegetarian and non vegetarian that are sure to please everyone’s taste buds and one such place is there within easy reach and reasonable pricing. This is the place which has been in operation for several years now helping many office workers in the tower and many people in and around the area. The portions come with choice of meats and two vegetable items totally complimentary! For the carb, they serve hot rice with a surprising addition of a fried papad at no charge. This has been my ‘go to’ place for my lunch everyday for many years so long I was working in the tower office and now having retired visit this place without fail whenever I happened to visit downtown Vancouver. Great quality with no change in taste and flavour for years. Checkout their special item of the day, that is on every weekday Recommended highly!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable items - brussels, cabbage, chickpea curry, kidney beans curry, sautéed masala potatoes“

“I love love love this place. I've only ever done Doordash so I have no idea what it's like inside or if the people who run it are nice, but they seriously stuff those takeout containers with delicious food so they're definitely generous. The mixed chicken/beef platter is my favorite, but we also love the tabblouleh. The rice is in the platter is wonderful. It looks pretty standard, even a little boring (it looks like it's going to be flavourless), but it is seasoned so nicely and is always cooked perfectly. The meats are super flavourful and have crispy edges, and the hummus and little salad that come with the platter are both perfect. The value is great - you get a lot of food for around $20, so much that we always have leftovers. My new Doordash favourite!“

“We had a great meal for mother's day! The restaurant was packed. The only complaint was we had reservations for the dining room but we're seated in the bar. It wasn't a big deal but my elderly parents found it a little loud. Food was excellent as always. Service was great considering how busy they were“

“More a 'go if you're in the area' rather than a favorite donair spot for me. Service is friendly. Regular platter portions is sparse, recommend paying for extra chicken to get a decent amount.

Flavor is good, has tabouli salad which is unique for donair places. Donair with decent portions is getting more expensive.“

“They are the best food, for the best price, and top service. Our favorite place to go. Good old fashion personable service. Not fancy, but who wants fancy shamancy when you get the best of everything else.“

“Love this place, except that not all staff are on the same page with how to fill their spoons when making the wraps. Shouldn’t have to ask to have a proper amount — a tsp of filling isn’t sufficient. 2nd time I’ve had a wrap and the first few bites are only pita because it isn’t full.

Normally can get 2 servings out of 1 because they’re big and full! But not always, depends on who makes it-_- which is kinda annoying.“

“One of the most establish small business in town for the last 20 years,Bad reviews are not his restaurant. It is the new restaurant next door, it seems they have the same address. I always feel like eating at home in here. I’m at Five Star because he’s the best.“

“very yummy food, people are nice. 😊😋“

“The savory aroma of seasoned meat fills the air. A warm, soft flatbread cradles the flavorful filling. Fresh toppings add a delightful crunch and zest. Each bite is a burst of textures and tastes. This truly sounds like a satisfying and delicious meal.“

“I have been going to Owmow’s pretty regularly and it’s always a great experience. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, which makes such a difference. The space is clean and comfortable, and everything feels well taken care of. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.“

“Definitely one of the best hot sauces in the league !“

“Delicious grill shawarma and the ambience“

“The best Shawarma I ever had in my life, belongs to this location. Quantity of food is really good as compared to the price and flavor is super good. This location offers the best customer service and they take care of your adjustment as well regarding to food. Overall, every visit is worth it at osmows“

“Excellent atmosphere excellent service very good drinks and delicious authentic Greek cuisine. It’s like being back in Mykonos. Especially with the Uzo Mojito. Mmmmm good 😊“

“Amazing food, quick in the kitchen and the service is outstanding. They have a very efficient system to ensure that their patrons are well looked after and have everything they need to have an enjoyable dinner experience. Five stars ❤️“

“Awesome food and service. They have the best calamari that I have found. Well done!“

“A fantastic Greek restaurant with authentic flavours! I ordered the lamb chops and absolutely loved them! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. A great spot for anyone craving delicious Mediterranean cuisine, can’t wait to return“

“Harpreet Kaur provides exceptional service at Donair Dude. She’s friendly, efficient, and always ensures orders are perfect. Her positive attitude and professionalism make every visit enjoyable. A true asset to the team—highly recommend her for a great customer experience!“

“Such a friendly customer service, very police, and professional. The delivery is always on time. Thank you!“

“Delicious Chicken Wraps. Loves the sauce (tzatziki). Excellent service. Portions are filling.“

“I went in for dinner with a couple friends, having never tried East African cuisine before, because I really wanted to try injera. We got the vegetarian combo for two, kapreto, and hummus, all to share, and oh my lord. Every single part of the dish was absolutely incredible. All of the flavors were so good, on their own and mixed together with anything else. Every bite was different, the varying levels of spice played so well together, the meat and vegetables were all so juicy. We dug in so fast that we didn't even take pictures, we ate until we were all completely stuffed and there was still food left on the table, and before tip it was a little under $20 per person. I haven't been blown away by a restaurant in a long time. The server was very sweet as well. Going to be coming back here again and again!“

“I must be honest I only buy Donair. But his is the best. Haven't found anything equal as good. His secret sauce makes him the King of Donaires. ❤️👍👍“

“Perfect Persian food and environment! We’ll come back again.“

“This place has some of the best food in Vancouver. It's all chickpea based, but they do it soooo well We had members of our party that don't eat onion or garlic and these guys were able to make us soo much without it. The allergens book lists what they could and couldn't eat, so it made it really easy to order The food was amazing, so flavourful, extremely well done and the hummus, to die for. Everything we had we loved and the portion sizes are massive!! We had to take away atleast 50% as they gave us such big portions The only thing that let this place down was the speed of service but we did go on a Saturday night, so it was busy and we were seated and eating within 45 mins. It wasn't big enough of an issue to remove a star but be warned if you're starving and are expecting quick food on a weekend or busy period. Overall, highly highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and good vibes“

“I don’t normally leave reviews for fast food spots since my experiences are usually quick and easy, but I left this location today (Sept 8, around 4:45pm) feeling a bit disappointed.

While ordering, the staff member preparing my food added pickles, which I hadn’t asked for. When I mentioned it, he thought I had requested them. I really dislike pickles and always make sure to leave them out, and since they were chopped and wrapped inside, it wasn’t something I could just remove.

What stood out most to me was the interaction. In my own work in restaurants, I’ve found it goes a long way to simply apologize and make the correction, rather than debating with the guest (he seemed really annoyed with me). The food was remade, which I appreciated, but the exchange left me feeling uncomfortable and not as positive about the experience overall.

As a suggestion, it might help to double-check with customers before finalizing toppings and perhaps adjust the tipping option so it appears after service is provided. I think those changes would really improve the guest experience.“

“A great restaurant for Greek food.“

“One of the best donairs I’ve had around here, not greasy, not overly salty, good portion of meat, fresh veggies. I had the chicken Donair, will be back to try other menu items. Looks like a mother and son operation, they are both working hard to serve everyone in a timely manner. Go check it out!“

“Anytime I'm in Vancouver this is always a spot to go to. Birthday celebrations, lunch date or romantic dinner. The food is always delicious, flavorful and perfect balance of spices. I always recommend this place for anytime dinning. The staff are amazing and the recommendations are on point. ny favorite time to go are evenings - intimate and cozy. 5 stars !!!!“

“Came in to try this place out with my parents! Really great place and service, very welcoming and sweet staff. Portions on the Shawarma are not cheap and full of meat, tried out the lamb and chicken it was delicious. Would recommend this place out for sure if you’re ever around.“

“An Absolutely Divine Greek Dining Experience!
I can't say enough wonderful things about My Greek Taverna! From the moment we walked in, we were transported straight to the Mediterranean with the warm, inviting atmosphere and authentic Greek hospitality.

The food here is nothing short of extraordinary. Every single dish we ordered was bursting with incredible flavors that dance on your palate. The moussaka was perfectly layered with rich, savory bechamel that melted in our mouths, while the souvlaki was grilled to absolute perfection - tender, juicy, and seasoned with just the right blend of herbs and spices.

What truly sets this place apart is how every bite delivers such intense, satisfying flavor. The dolmades were delicately wrapped and filled with a fragrant rice mixture that was both hearty and refreshing. The tzatziki was creamy, garlicky perfection that complemented everything beautifully. Even the pita bread was warm, fluffy, and clearly made fresh.

The chef clearly has a masterful understanding of Greek cuisine - each dish felt like it was prepared with genuine love and respect for traditional recipes, yet with that special touch that makes it unforgettable. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender, the seafood was fresh and expertly prepared, and the vegetables were vibrant and flavorful.

Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff clearly takes pride in sharing their authentic Greek culinary heritage with guests.

My Greek Taverna has earned a permanent spot on our list of favorite restaurants. If you're looking for truly exceptional Greek food that will leave you craving more, this is your destination.

We'll absolutely be back soon!

Highly recommended for: Authentic Greek cuisine, romantic dinners, family celebrations, or anyone who appreciates seriously delicious food.“

“Have been coming to Stefanos since its grand opening. My family has always loved the food and atmosphere. They’re great for private events as well, we held a celebration of life dinner there with dinner and dancing and everyone was amazed. Bill and Stefan have kept this place amazing for over 2 decades. I highly recommend.“

“The food here is great, plus the staff are friendly“

“Consistently delicious, I've been coming here for years. Friendly and prompt service, wide selection of beverages, they play sports on the TV, and get this: THEY SERVE DELICIOUS BAKLAVA. Very concerning the lack of baklava at other donair/falafel places these days.“

“While I've eaten in the restaurant numerous times, it has become a favorite to order it for home delivery. Every meal I receive is excellent and piping hot. I couldn't be happier. I have taken to ordering extra potatoes to have with my own home-cooked meals the following days, too. You won't regret eating at Yiannis. I love the roast lamb dinner, the dolmathes, which are my main choices. Sorry, I have no photo to share. I'm too eager to eat my meal and never think to take a photo.“
