Really delicious Greek food! I’ve always walked by this place in North Burnaby and we decided to finally give it a try for dinner!
We ordered a variety of dishes, the trio of hummus and dips, lamb chops, chicken and the moussaka.
The dishes were superb! They all had really good flavours and tasted fresh and yummy! The moussaka was great, it’s very heavy and umami like tasting, and had great filling! The eggplant was super soft, sweet and cooked very well. The lamb chops were nicely marinated same with the half chicken too.
The best part was the calamari and the trio of dips. The calamari was nice and crunchy and wasn’t overly oily at all. Further, the fish roe and hummus were so good. Highly recommend getting it with extra pita!
Really thoroughly enjoyed this place, very good tasting Greek food. Definitely will come back. Friendly waitress too!
Delicious food, excellent service, and a super friendly manager! Loved the moussaka

Seems like they serve smaller portions than some other Greek restaurants I've visited. Also a bit of a different taste, not bad just different and definitely worth trying if you have gotten used to the traditional Greek food taste. e.g. Greek lemon rice, lemon potatoes. Etc
The kalamari was good but not crispy enough. The lamb skewer was the best part, really juicy although again a smaller portion than usual. I'd prefer the regular lemon potatoes to the fries. Service was really good and fast, friendly staff.
Owner seems like was really focused in a couple of tables and just came to say if everything was ok.
Overall it was a good experience but I was hoping to find "THE" Greek restaurant to sway me away from my top 3 choices in metro Vancouver, or make it a top 4 but it didn't happen. Maybe I'll give it another shot another time but I still have other restaurants to try first.

It was the best greek food I ever had! Really delicious, excellent quality of fish, meat and veggies, huge portions. Their fig hummus and olive tapenade were especially to die for. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The owner came to our table and chatted with us - such a lovely person. Me and my husband loved being in this place and will definitely be regulars.

Wonderful Greek restaurant, small seating capacity, but nicely intimate and comfortable. Food is fantastic, but not your typical Vancouver Greek style. It is lighter, not as overloaded with overwhelming sides. The meats are tender and moist, and everything else tastes fresh. My favorite are the lamb chops, thicker than any Greek restaurant I have been to. Service is impeccable, with Nick in the front and Irene in the kitchen (owners). Enjoy.
Parking: Lots in front and on the side.
Wheelchair accessibility: Physically small space but no stairs.
I had the best experience at oloves! When we entered, me and my friends were seated immediately, and Vivian, our amazing server poured us some water while we were deciding on what to eat. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and had various options for different dietary restrictions. The restaurant was so cute and cozy and was extremely clean. The food and music were great and authentic. We literally left all our plates spotless because it was that good. And the cost of these amazing meals were great and the portions were perfect. The owner of the store, Niko, was amazing. He chatted with us and made us laugh, learned our names and was very attentive to every customer. Overall, if I had to go out to eat, this would be the place I would go. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an amazing experience.

I am visiting from Montreal and this Greek food knocked the Montreal restos out of the park! Excellent ambiance, friendly staff, extra accommodating service. Shout out to Irene, she is the owner and made me feel quite at home. Will definitely be coming back for that lamb!
