Very good quality greek food. The lemon potatoes are soft and almost creamy, not hard like other places. Very good chicken and prawn souvlaki, rice is also very flavourful.

Solid takeout spot! The 2 lasagnas for $25 and 2 small pizzas for $25 are still a good deal, though they used to be $20, so thanks for that, Trudy.

Amazing food! We ordered the lamb shank and Greek ribs tonight for the first time. Everything was really fresh and wasn't overly spiced, so we can actually taste the meat. The lamb shank was so tender that the bones fell off as I picked the meat and the ribs weren't dry at all. The food is well packaged, really just tells me they care about what they serve to people. Price is way better than all the Greek restaurants I frequent in Burnaby. Will be back for more!

Both quality and quantity seems to have taken a hit. Used to be my go to but the roast lamb recently was all bones.

I appreciate your response, but I find the tone of your message quite condescending. As a customer, it's disappointing to feel dismissed rather than having my concerns addressed with genuine understanding. I shared my feedback based on the experience I had, and as a business, it's important to listen to customer concerns rather than accusing them of spreading "misinformation and negativity."
If the product you served didn’t meet expectations, that’s something worth looking into, not brushing off. Your response lacks the professionalism and customer service that one would expect from a reputable restaurant. I sincerely hope you take customer feedback more seriously in the future and work on improving not just your food but your communication as well.

The most awful experience EVER! Ordered food worth at least $300 and got a call when the food was supposed to be delivered to tell us they ran out of chicken. Ever heard of a grocery store? Why would you take the order if you don’t have supplies? Ruined a family function! Your loss is someone else’s gain but horrible customer service!

Horrible experience, stay away from this location at all costs, plenty of other Greek options with better food and better customer service. $300 catering order today, when the order was suppose to arrive we instead receive a phone call later saying they ran out of chicken. Person we spoke to was extremely rude, dismissive, unapologetic and offered no remedy. Way to ruin our kids birthday party. Never engaging with this restaurant, what a nightmare.
Finally tried Socrates and it was worth the hype! Keftedes, hummus, and tirokafteri (spicy feta dip) were great starters, chicken souvlaki was great and moist, lamb souvlaki was tasty but chewy (wouldn't get again), roast lamb was delicious, lamb chops were delicious. Can't wait to order again!
