"The food was good and great value for your money. I found that once we got the bread and the appetizer, it took a very long time before the actual meal arrived."

"GREAT food, POOR service. Went for dine out. The value was amazing - for $18 there was soo much food! And the food was awesome! However, our server was not good - she rang in the main course way after we got our appetizer so it took forever to get our main course. We ended up filling up on hummous because we were starving and then did not have enough room for main course. Then our server got chatty with a table beside us and again we sat there forever waiting for our food to be packed up. Once again too full for dessert so we got it to go. The table beside us came in half an hour later than us and were happily eating dessert and tea while we were waiting for our main course to be packed up."

"Very slow service...this is because the restaurant became busy with patrons and the restaurant staff could not keep up. They are clearly short staffed and this was very apparent as people came in. Food is of average to slightly above average quality compared to other restaurants offering Greek cuisine."

"We went here for the first time for Dine Out Vancouver.
It was packed at 6 PM because of it.
The food was quite nice, particularly the chicken soup and the Ekmek. Juicy and fall off the bone tender roast lamb also good. Huge portions.
Service a little spotty probably due to Dine Out crowd.
Would recommend this restaurant.
