Food is pretty good. Meat platter was a bit dry. We ordered 3 dishes and were eating slowly but the staff came every 1-2 minutes asking if we were done. (Not even joking 7 times within like 15 minutes - started counting) I was confused because we were 1. Still eating 2. There were so many seats around us. My friend was still munching when waitress came to take the dish away so I was honestly, pretty annoyed. Not sure why they were so eager to take the dishes away because we were there less than 2 hours and we were nothing but polite. Greek salad was good. Calamari tastes fishy because I think they use same oil for frying anchovies.

This Greek restaurant offers a wonderful variety of family style/sharing dishes. The food is absolutely excellent and super fresh! I love their lemon potatoes, their lamb chops are divine, and their chicken kabobs are juicy and tender. We also loved the egg plant dip and the garlic prawns. It’s a fun place to come with friends or on a date. The restaurant is large and nicely decorated but because of all the hard surfaces, very noisy and a bit cold. Not cozy whatsoever. The service is outstanding and the staff really positive.
Loved the red prawn saganaki, meat platter for 2 is really big portion and can easily shared for few people even. Food is awesome the service is great, no complaints here

It was crazy loud. Had to yell and missed a lot of the conversations. No where to hang a wet coat on this rainy, pouring night. Nice tables and settings. I was not familiar with their style of serving. I think we should have ordered “family style.” I ordered chicken souvlaki and it was amazing , but that was it - meat and nothing else- one kabob. I went in starving. Shared my friends Greek salad that was huge , then ordered a wrap because I was absolutely starving, ready to kill! Order family style- one plate is pretty sparse. I am used to big Greek meals! All the food tasted so good but it was not enough for me- so beware to order lots of things off the menu! Service was excellent, did not miss a beat and so kind!
If you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine in Vancouver, Nostos Taverna is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right mix of charm and sophistication. We ordered the meat platter, and it was phenomenal — perfectly grilled, incredibly flavourful, and generously portioned. Every bite was a reminder of why Greek food is so beloved. The service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even more memorable. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Nostos Taverna is a must-visit. Highly recommend the meat platter — it's a standout!

Think outside the box, this is not your typical Greek restaurant, North American way. Had the pork souvlaki, beet salad and fried zucchini, all of them made the Greek traditional way. Loved them ! Thank you Nostos.

Just came for this restaurant and it was so disappointing.
Portions were super small which makes the price unfair. The main dishes look like simple appetizers and you definitely can find better greek restaurant options easily in Vancoucer.
In addition, restaurant was super noisy.
Only positive points were the sauce for the chips and the decoration of the restaurant. I won’t return again.

The food was delicious and fresh. Service was average. The atmosphere was great in the decor but it is a little bit cramped in the seating arrangements beside the bar
The food was delicious and the service too! Unfortunately there was a lot of confusion and we couldn't speak well but it's not their fault. The fish took a long time to come out, I don't know if perhaps they had forgotten and cooked it later

They are always great here. The food is great/clean/consistent classic Greek standards. There is nothing better than that. We take out from here several times a week and all the staff are so nice. Atmosphere improved so much since their debut, great work on the lighting. Take a table in the small patio out front in summer if you get the choice!! Thanks a million I almost never write reviews either!!❤️

The food was great, the service was great. Can't complain too much, I would say that the calamari was a bit underwhelming but not bad
