Anatoli Souvlaki Review

Nice place for a small and different dining experience. Not too many people during the weekends which makes it nicer.

Great and plentiful meal. Delicious and tender lamb.

Good food and good service. Souvlaki was perfect. Just the right amount of seasonings. Weekday night wasn't that busy. Serving size was just a bit small for me. I'm not a big eater, but I was hungry when we finished the main course, and the dessert menu was too limited. I should note that serving sizes are usually quite big there. Who knows, maybe they were trying to tell me something.

Authentic Greek food, nice atmosphere with Greek music

Five diners, five diarrheas, this was the only common place we ate... actually the food didn't taste bad, obviously I don't see us going back there

Best Greek food I've had in North Vancouver! Great location, food, and vibe.

Foods okay but why when ordering a take out why they can t just take the order? They put you on hold for many minutes while they go to other phone . Not very efficient.

It was a good experience with good foods , very friendly , but expensive for what you get !

Excellent Greek food. Don't hesitate to come here for a nice family gathering. It might seem a little pricey but the quantity and quality more than justify the expense.

Rude staff and over priced menu. The bill at end of night did not match the prices on the menu. Looked like they double the drink prices on the bill. The waitresses were very pushy after they brought us our food and did not clear our table till they brought us the bill. The food was ok for canadianized Greek food, but not worth that price. My salad had mushrooms in it, which I did not know about,as I have allergies to them. From what the waitress describe the salad I didn't think to ask if mushrooms would be in my meal. Would never eat there again based on the pushy staff with the bill and over priced menu.

Great food and service! And local businesses get a discount!

Ordered from skip and the food was not so good. It's better to eat at the restuarant then ordering for deliver through an app

The belly dancing makes any dinner a special occasion

My favorite Greek restaurant on the north shore by far! Amazing atmosphere, incredible food, and reasonable prices for the quality. You really can't go wrong with this place no matter what you are getting but I highly recommend the Lamb Shank if it's available. By far the best Lamb Shank I can remember having in this lifetime. As would be expected the calamari is fantastic also.

Do yourself a favor and go check this place out next time you want a great meal with a lovely atmosphere.

We really enjoyed our experience at Anatoli. The ambiance was warm and authenic. The servers were friendly and competent. The food was delicious. Good quality, good size portions and perfectly prepared. It's a bit pricey for Greek food but worth it.

Great service, good feel, comfortable and homey but overpriced for the offering. Food was tasty, serving sizes were a little underdone.

This was a lovely restaurant in lower Lonsdale. We had an arrangement of appetizers, hummus and tzatziki with pita, dolmades, calamari, and spanakopita. Everything was amazing. The calamari was very light, the dolmades were perfection with rice and beef, the spanakopita were flaky and delicious. It was a lovely selection.

The staff were friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was very chill for a bright and sunny Monday around 1pm, which was great.

I would definitely eat here again.

My only complaint is the chairs. They're not that great if you're not stick thin, and the arms get in the way. But, I'd still go here again because everything else is perfect.

Had a lunch date here during mother's day. We reserved since it was mother's day (and I was sure they'd be full).
First thing I noticed after entering was the cozy ambience, which was just perfect for a Sunday afternoon date.
We ordered Dolmathes for appi, and then the Island Platter for two, for which I'd recommend if you're going on a date.
That came with a soup for each of us, my partner got the Avgolemeno and I had the Fasolada.
The platter also came with; Greek Salad, rice, potatoes, hummus and tzatziki, and spinakopita, then you have the choice of what protein you want, we chose the calamari with salmon and prawn.
Island Platter was more than enough for the two of us, food was all lovely and delicious but it was a struggle to finish we eat, plus we had to leave some room for dessert, in which we had the Baklava (that was lovely, sweet, not too dry, and not swimming in honey either. Just perfect.)

It was my first time having most of those Greek food, while my partner on the other hand grew up eating them. He said the Dolmathes were just like how his mum makes them, and he's been craving to have the baklava.

The service is good too, I believe our server's name is Mira(?) She was informative (I'll try the lamb she suggested next time) and patient (it was our first time there and we didn't know we had a choice for the soup and protein for the platter).

I'll be coming back for sure. ^-^

Great service and awesome food. Had some live entertainment belly dancers inside. Had someone keeping waters topped off. A1.

Stumbled upon this joint and was pleasantly surprised...Food is very good and service is great as well!

Went for lunch and shared two Greek platters amongst five adults. It was enough food for all.

It's really worth to experience it. Meals was great and I really love the atmosphere. Feels like home.

not what it used to be. brought my uncle and dad there for lunch after not being there for 20 years. Paid $32 for 2 saganaki($16 each!). Thought it was expensive to begin with but with pita and loads of cheese thought it would be fine. Unfortunately what we got was small sized lukewarm cheese that was starting to harden and only enough pita for one order(are we rationing?). Servers were nice but stop asking people if there food is ok when they have their mouth full. Disappointing and since i was on a short break was not enough time to get something else. left hungry :)

Decent, predictable Greek food, nothing outstanding but still tasty. Friendly staff, noisy atmosphere. Drinks were a highlight.

Very decent happy hour dishes. Friendly staff and great food! Definitely worth a try.

came to this place with 3 other friends for my birthday. Comfortable relaxing environment to enjoy a meal.
Waiter gave us extra bread for our humous dip when we requested it but he didn't charge us. He was pretty good & atttentive even though we could tell he was a bit grumpy and didn't give us attitude. The humous dip was very good. I could lick the bowl. Would come back to this place again.

Best greek food in North Vancouver hands down! Best taramosalata outside of Greece!

Great food and lovely restaurant. A bit pricey but very nice.

A classic Greek place, been around a long time.
The food is good, however the service can be spotty on occasion.
Hope they own the building, as its quickly becoming a high rent area.

Really nice lunch here today, service was spot on, veggie moussaka was light and tasty, and the lamb tender

This is a family favourite for us to dine in or take out. We've been supporting Anatoli Souvlaki for years. Check them out.

Very good Greek food. High quality and taste is great. Price isn't cheap though.

Only giving one star because thats the lowest I can give. Took our family downtown for a nice getaway. Saw good reveiws online for this restaurant so we decided to try it out. Ordered take away for a hefty price. Got back to our hotel and seen they forgot to give us cutlery and an extra tzatziki. Was also wondering why there was no pita bread with it. Called them and the waitor said there was no way he made a mistake because he packed it himself. And also informed us they don't give pitas with the meals. Would have been nice to know that when we were placing our order. Really surprising given the price of our meals. So we had to eat this expensive meal with our hands. Portions were small. Didn't include veggies at all in any of our meals besides a couple pieces of potato. Very disappointed with our experience.

We received incredible service, amazing food and a relaxing and private atmosphere.

Our server's name was Graeme. Knows his stuff.

I ordered the Chicken Marbella and my Girlfriend ordered the Salmon Kebob (and a few Disarrono on the rocks). I was blown away by the quality of the food. presentation was a 9/10, taste was 10/10 and it was on our table in under 8 minutes (im not making this up) from when we ordered.

I will return everytime I visit Vancouver.

Great location by Lonsdale Quay and the newly developed waterfront , nice view . Service was fine , we sat on the deck which offers a great view of hustle and bustle.... The deciding factor in my never recommending this place to anyone is very one-sided , but I think it's terribly sad when you order Calamari in a Greek establishment and there isn't a single tentacle .... It leads me to believe that this is a factory breaded and frozen in a bag type thing ... I was deeply upset by this and thought it was a shame . The Saganaki was delicious tho, which is why I've given 3Stars and not 2...

Warm atmosphere and staff. Delicious food. Free parking at the quay.

So delicious! Quiet place... thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Had an incredible array of food for Happy hour! best spinach pie I ve ever had in my life! Fantastic Greek salad, meat balls, baked feta and tzadiki! Thank you:)

The food was good. The service a little slow but it was busy.

So happy this place has opened. We sat on the terrace, socially distancing and felt very safe. The nicest and sweetest staff. Excellent meat, excellent salad, and excellent wine. Don t think twice, just come out here and support these lovely people.

Honestly one of my favorite places for quality Greek food. It has a lot of nice designs and paintings in the place that give you a nice vibe. The food is quality and the service is even better

Consistently great food, good portions, great menu selection for gluten free, and really wholesome personalities for the staff. Nice to see people who like coming to work.

Best Greek on the north shore by far! Extremely flavorful food. Quality ingredients and talented chefs. The halloumi veggie kabob is Devine. Excellent as take out

Food portion is reasonable big, we ordered lamb roast, very well seasoned and humus with pita bread is very tasty.

Really delicious and eating Greek with a difference, the lamb was awesome.

I found it overpriced and service all over the place. Some waiters great some not so great and portions small compared to the prices. Sorry.

We visited the restaurant on Saturday night. The place was packed but the service was friendly and relatively quick.

The issue was with the belly dancer who appeared in the middle of the room under the sounds of a loud arabic music. It was so loud that we couldn't hear each other and her performance was not short. Our requests to tone down the music were answered with a promise that she will finish soon. When we left, a person from the staff appologized for the loud music and said that "they cannot control the dancer".

My two main questions are:

Why there is a belly dancer in a Greek restaurant?

In 2018, should we perpetuate a practice when a half-naked woman is dancing as part of the entertainment?

Food is excellent especially the Country Lamb. If you like Greek fare you cannot go wrong. Tip - always reserve a table as this place is super popular.

Wife loves this place. She is picky with her Greek food and this hits the spot.

I've been going there for years with family and friends, we've always loved the food, atmosphere and friendly staff. I took my girlfriend last week for her bday present and the roast lamb dinner was superb. They are taking very good care of the distancing and masks.

Outstanding meal. The lamb and potatoes were cooked perfectly. The lamb was falling off the bone and extremely tender. The potatoes were crispy but not dried out in anyway. My meal was perfect.
Try Alexi's Margarita!

Disrespectful server and manager, not a place I would recommend to anyone!

Tasty and Good food! A little on the expensive side. A standard souvlaki has only one skewer. I personally kinda expected 2 for the price.

Amazing greek food... I really like their potatos using Olive oil instead of butter. Great option with dining with friends who have dietary restrictions. Their tazaki is amazing and should only be consumed by the spoonful or by liberally loaded pita bread!
Well worth the trip to lower lonsdale

Terrible Management and Rude Servers!
I went there for dinner with my friends however we ended up leaving and having the dinner at tap and barrell because of the disrespectful manager and her rude/arrogant server. We were regulars there but from now on we will be taking our business to Kypriakis on Marine Drive. MUCH better service there. Dont waste your time and money at this poorly run place.

Excellent food as always and our waiter Michael was excellent...very professional and honestly couldn't have done more for us!

One of my favourite Greek restaurant to go , great food especially the fish dish , so special. Daily special with combo or cocktail, good value

Great meal and value. We shared a platter and it was great for lunch, with some left over. Great drink specials and selections, cozy atmosphere. We'll be back for sure.

For this Devine place of wonder, was and still my favorite restaurant in the Lowermainland.

Definitely order the calamari and octopus appetizers, delicious!!!! The lamb shoulder just fell of the bone and melted in your mouth. The pork soulvaki was a nice surprise and extremely flavorful. Service was fantastic too. Will definitely be back.

Great birthday party experience! Delicious food and professional service. We'll be back!

The mezzo platter was fantastic! If only we were on a Greek beach enjoying it.

It was tasty and in a cool location however expensive for what you get.

Best caesers in town! Had the lamb... So tasty... and massive portions.

This is one of the best Greek restaurants in North Vancouver. Very tasty and reasonable prices. Porch-street and inside sitting available.

I was going to enter the restaurant when I noticed a bucket of meat in the warm sun in the front window. Suffice to say we didn t go in. That is a serious health issue

Amazinggggg food with good service. Can get pricy quick ! Their happy hour is worth it also

I don t like to give a bad review,but at this place food was less than middle range.Have been recommended by our friends .Service was the same level.Sorry,but need more attention to costumers.

Excellent dining experience. Our server Georgia was excellent. Very caring, helpful and knew the menu very well. Everything we ate was very good specially the octopus.

Fantastic Greek food! Excellent service and very reasonable price. I highly recommend the kabobs, humas and calimari. Can't wait to go back

Increadable food, great atmosphere and amazing staff! Eddie, Georgia and Farley are top notch! Even the male belly dancer was great! What a great experience! A night to remember! Great job guys!

Great food at reasonable prices, close to waterfront.
