I’m usually hard to impress, but I really enjoyed everything I ate here. I also met the gentleman who makes the baklava, super nice. I’ll definitely be coming back. One of the best Greek restaurants I’ve tried in the Lower Mainland!

Roast lamb was good, lamb chops too, and dolmades (tasted like grandma’s). The ekmek was amazing, whoever is reading this, please order it for dessert.

Few weeks ago, on a Saturday night, we decided to go out for a meal, we usually go for family owned restaurants , because they seem to offer better quality and food safe instead of bottom line chasing and corner cutting chains or Corporate owned restaurants.
We decided to try Greek food, so we went to this place, since it was the closest, I ordered lamb and Potatoes, the potatoes tasted a bit acidic, but I didn't care that much, since I was starving.
But what sealed my fate was seeing a rodent running under my table just after finishing my meal.
I called the server and said, I just saw a rodent running around, do you have pests control here? to which she responded yes we do, but this is an old building, so it's kind of difficult to rid them all, she spoke as if it wasn't a big deal.
Then I got stomachache that night when I got home, I was very disappointed,I was a terrible experience, i wish to forget.
I don't like giving negative reviews, but if we don't say anything, NOTHING will change.
I hope they see this reciew as a feedback to do better, keep rodents out and prepare fresh food.

The moussaka was delicious, but pay attention that it comes with additional dish of rice and potatoes if order as main.
The soup was okay, and the tamara dip was just fine.

We had our holiday dinner party here with a group of 10 people. Making the reservation was easy. Service was phenomenal, food was great with large portions, and the atmosphere was exactly what we could have hoped for. We would highly recommend having your large group gatherings here. We will be back.

I am not sure why this place has such high ratings as the food is subpar.
However, I will start off by saying that the service was really good and the speed in which they served us despite there being a party of over 12 behind us and a full house was superb. Absolutely zero complaints about the service.
We ordered the following:
1x Spicy Calamari
1x 5 Lamb Chops
2x Roast Lamb
1x Greek Ribs
1x Garlic Butter Prawns
First off, the spicy calamari was an interesting idea and the flavour was okay. But the serving size was absolutely horrendous. I do not think I have seen that small of a serving of calamari EVER and wherever I have went to dine and ordered calamari. For $16.75, the calamari is highway robbery and would stray me away from ever visiting here again or suggesting anyone to order it.
The lamb chops were okay! Flavour was so so, but they were beautifully cooked and well plated. I would potentially order this again if I ever were to come here, but seasoning could use some work.
Roast lamb was good for what it was. Not really much I can complain about. Probably the highlight of the night out of all dishes. Well done.
Greek ribs.... now I usually order greek ribs at other places and always enjoy it. The ribs here were very bland. Lacking lots of seasoning and that signature zest that many greek places offer. As disappointing as the calamari was and I am glad I did not order this personally. I see why it was hard to find amongst reviews on google.
Garlic butter prawns were actually properly cooked and tasted wondeful. This was 1/2 things that were okay during this dinner.
I would suggest exploring other dinner options or greek restaurants if you are looking for greek as there are better options in the lower mainland.
