Best Greek restaurant in Canada

N	N A on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For the the price they charge, you’d think they could hire more staff. Yesterday evening (a Friday) they had only ONE waitress doing practically all the work from seating guests to taking orders, clearing tables, and taking payments. There was one other worker in the dining room, but she didn’t do anything other than a trip to a couple of tables to pour water. I was confused why she was even there. I felt bad for our/everyone’s waitress who despite being so busy still managed to check in on us! If you’re reading this - you’re management material and too good for them! Do the poor waitress a favour by checking to see if she’s alone before going in to dine. Don’t be fooled by the thin woman in the back by the till. I think she’s just there to boss the waitress around. Food wise, it was ok. My dish wasn’t bad. I want to go back and try the grilled calamari dinner, but not sure if I will considering how bad I felt for the overworked waitress. Edited to add: the restaurant was quite dingy and smelled oily. You will smell restaurant oily when you leave. Also, apparently it’s under new ownership, so don’t rely on reviews older than a couple years old.
E	Ed ser on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been here a few times when the next door greek restaurant which is bigger is full. And let me tell you, it's the same food! No difference. The advantage of this small place is that there is always at least one table to sit right away. So I would really recommend this one!
D	Dan Maisler on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent meal in a friendly casual atmosphere. Very generous portions!
P	Pat Samson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good both as a dine in and takeout experience. Every aspect of my dish was fresh and flavourful, including the rice which same places leave rather bland. Salad could use more sauce love, but was still fine. This spot is directly beside another Greek restaurant with a similar menu. This one is slightly more expensive, but I found the taste and quality also higher, so it all measures up.
R	Randi Kennedy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I recently moved to Vancouver last year so I’m still discovering the city and the hidden gems, but it’s safe to say Takis is definitely on the top of the list! I have gone into the restaurant to eat with my fiancé a couple times and experienced such great, welcoming, fast service. The food is amazing, fresh and great value for your dollar! My favorite dishes are the Salmon Slovakia and Grilled Calamari. ESPECIALLY the Grilled Calamari! My fiancé enjoys the Lamb Klefitiko. When we order delivery the food is just as good and timely!! Would definitely recommend for authentic Greek cuisine.
C	Catherine C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really enjoyed the grilled calamari dinner. Large amount of calamari, and it was grilled to perfection. The other components of the dinner plate like the potatoes and rice were delicious as well! Their tzatziki sauce isn’t that great, food tasted better without it. The spanakopita was decent. Service could use some work. We were one of the only two tables at the restaurant but took ages for the waiter to come take our order or even check on us, and water was never refilled unless we asked for another jug.
V	Viloka Luna on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent restaurant with delicious dishes, good big portions, Greek beer and wine and gorgeous interiors. The staff is very kind and polite. Loved the experience.
E	Elaine Bright on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well, I was a little disappointed. I didn't get a sense of being in a Greek restaurant. There was no Greek music, no friendly greeting and the 2 staff that were waiting on us were east Indian. This is not a racist comment. I had heard this was a friendly family owned business. I didn't realize the restaurant was under new management. The place looked untended. Staff coats, etc were piled by the bar area near the kitchen, and that area just looked messy. The table cloth we were at had large grease (?) stains. There is a lot of history in this place. I just hope the new owners can do it justice. I will say the food was great, the Retsina wine was delicious, the portions were generous. Bill was $88 for 2 full meals and a 1/2 L of Retsina, no appetizers or dessert. For Vancouver Davies restaurant area, those prices are decent.
