Anatoli Souvlaki Review

Absolutely delicious with amazing state. We forgot something and they chased us across the street to get it back. Best souvlaki ever.

The food was okay but it has a nice environment and is a peaceful place to eat.

Greek food is Greek food right? Wrong. Try this place. It is definitely a cut above and I think it's the best Greek restaurant I've ever tried.

Absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was spot on for what were were feeling! Even with the gloomy rainy weather outside, inside you were taken away to a fun a vibey villa, home away from home! Will definitely be back!!! The country lamb platter....wow

People were nice, food was good. The belly dancer was a bit loud, but who really cares. Kinda goes with the territory.

I am extremely surprised with the portion of food compare to the prices. My dish was half empty. I paid $230 for 2 adults and 2 kids and It s not even a fancy restaurant. I don t recommended.

The food was good but I did not like the place where we were seated, even with a reservation made several hours ago, they placed us in the middle of two parties and in an extra table that obviously did not belong there. I can't say that the attention was bad, but wasn't great either, just the order, the food and the bill. I wanted to ask for the pita that never came but did not have the chance.

Anatoli is one of those special places where the food is always good. We have visited Greek restaurants over the lower Mainland but Anatoli Souvlaki remains #1.

Great tasting Greek food with decent sized portions

Really tasty lamb here. All of the dishes were on point. Will definitely be visiting here again.

Absolutely most amazing Greek food I have ever had hands down. The staff is wonderful and the food came out quick. I got the baked orzo and it was cooked to perfection. Would recommend this place to anyone.

The service was good. The food was average. We shared the $30/pp platter and were disappointed. Mostly potatoes and Greek salad and only one lamb skewer so no real value in the platter.
What was delicious was the hummus. Might be the best I've had.

Was expecting something a lot better. Chicken was dry and prawns were over cooked. Didn t even get pita bread. Rice and potatoes tasted like they were under a heat lamp for a good while before we were served. Wouldn t say it was good value for the money.

Took a few fellows there today
BEST lamb they ever had
Too bad the one in yaletown is not even close to the quality of this

Great food and very friendly staff, our family favorite!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience at this place! We went for a special occasion and the manager had written down by our reservation to give us free shots and dessert. Our server Britney was amazing, so friendly, gave us a great table and was very personable. Highly recommend this place not only for the food but for the experience as well!

Just sat down for 20 minutes without even a drink order. At least 9 servers and hosts on, staring at walls. Lots of better options in lower lonsdale.

Excellent Mousaka. Always a pleasure to eat here and I love the larger summer patio.

The place was packed, yet our meal was served within ten minutes of sitting down. Five stars in every respect.

I ordered single lamb skewers for my sons and I using DoorDash delivery. In the menu picture it shows a skewer of lamb, some rice, and some greeks salad. I also ordered an appetizer and some extra potatoes to go with everything. As it turns out, the skewers meant, just a skewer. My sons are hungry, and I'm angry. I paid 50 dollars for a few pieces of meat! Now I have to get more food from somewhere else. I would recommend the manager review their advertising. I would gladly have paid more for more food, but this is crazy! Even if it's good, I will never order from here again!

Went in with a larger group and the service was fast and friendly. Delicious food. We started with a couple rounds of appetizers and beverages before starting in on the main courses. Fresh salads, beautifully grilled meats. My calamari was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My partner's serving of moussaka was huge and tasted fantastic. There wasn't an unhappy diner in the bunch. I would absolutely eat here again.

What an experience. It was like we walked into Grand Central Station and sat down to have a meal. The waitress was not very professional, if she came by our table at all. Acted like she had not waitressed before. Food was good but the ambiance was terrible.

Place is pretty big, but for Saturday lunch it felt very empty. Staff was friendly and liked my kid.

Ordered the lamb orzo special for $16 (pictured). It was good and filling. Some of the orzo was clumpy, but I still really enjoyed it. The pita bread was too hard, but dipping it in tzatziki worked out.

Also got lunch order of calamari. Crispy beading, reasonably soft squid, nice bit of mint sprinkled over everything. Not chewy and quite enjoyable, but not amazing.

They have high chairs. The bathroom is tiny (can't open door while someone is washing hands). Not sure if there is a wheelchair one.

A lot of prices seemed pretty steep for lunch. Not sure there were any real lunch items for under $12.

Great food, great service. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere inside and a small patio outside.

From the food to the service to staff...all 5 stars. It was our last night in Vancouver and it was our kids' birthday. Our server and the staff at Anatoli were so accommodating and wonderful. The food was delicious, from the lamb to the prawns. Thank you for the birthday singing. You guys rock!

We were in town for a hockey tournament and needed a quick bite for lunch in between games. We had the Salmon chowder to start and both had Calamari dinners. I have to agree with some other posts about not a single tentacle. In addition when walking in, I noticed the cooks had several plates already made up with the side dishes. I understand this concept if extremely busy, but traffic was fairly light and would have liked a freshly tossed Greek salad. The Calamari was cooked tender but the Chowder was not the freshest. I have had better Greek and why I am giving a 3 star. Service staff was very friendly

Food was great but the server we had (ID #1985) was a dense cabbage.

Terrific people, delicious food and relaxing ambiance. A greek restaurant that feels like you are in Greece. Great location to explore the best of Lower Lonsdale aka LoLo .

Awesome food. Must try. Spanakopita and dip tasters are a must.

Nice food.. tasty and good service. The atmosphere is also romantic and good for date night

Love this place it's by far one of the top Greek places in Vancouver. There is only bbn one other restaurant in north shore that is on the same level and that's Mythos. What I really enjoy about this place in addition to the food and service is the authentic Greek live music that they have. Very nice touch.

Have a work event here every other year. Always good service and the food is great.

Very tasty food. It's pricey but I'm happy to pay for the quality, service and space.

Great food, been around for ages. A little on the pricy side though.

Fantastic food, popular in the area. It's a little higher in terms of pricing.

The food is not bad but, and its a big but, I wish you would use a better quality products! Second time eating there (and definitely the last) and second time ending up with stomach ache. I dont think its a coincident (all the people who shared our order had the same problem) - I think that something is wrong here.

Great food and great service. If your looking for authentic Greek food you will be pleased at Anatoli.

Good quality is very good and consistent. Friendly server. The country lamb is so good!

I really like it here. Food is great and atmosphere too. Love the new umbrellas on the patio. We went for happy hour and there's a great selection of my favourites. Definitely worth a try if you have never been.

Decor hasn't changed since the 80s which is just fine. The food here is the star and it's my favorite souvlaki anywhere in the Lower Mainland. They seem to have dialed down the garlic in the tzatziki and humous in the last few years, which is both a good and bad thing. The mixed sampler platter for 2+ people is phenomenal, just an absurd amount of food, so don't go for a starter if you're going to give it a go.

Note that since the lot behind the restaurant was closed, parking is a challenge, so allow a little extra time to find street parking or find a spot in a nearby lot.

Ordered 2 x chicken souvlaki via Doordash. Arrived cold. I understand thats not Anatolis fault. Decent flavour but very overpriced for what you get. Stingy amount of chicken.

10/10 would recommend. great atmosphere, kind staff, amazing food.

nice place and decor; always have place to sit; service is prompt. the portion size is very good.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and tonight I ordered from Doordash. I am a huge saganaki fan and needed to try theirs. They have the most expensive saganaki at $16 but it must be amazing for that price. Their saganaki was the worst I have ever had. It is supposed to be crunchy not soggy as their was. Three of us tried it and none of us were impressed. The 3 dip was good and the pita was thinner but very tasty. I rate a greek place by the saganaki so will not be coming back.

Came here for dinner with some friends of ours. I'm not a big greek fan generally but the food here was fantastic. Everything tasted really good, I had a Chicken Souvlaki salad. Will return

I feel like we stumbled on the secret garden going there! The atmosphere was perfect, the staff wonderful and the food to die for! We'll be back!

I was absolutely disgusted with the management there. Today my family and I were on our way to have a nice meal together. My brother goes in and is greeted by a lady, and he proceeds to ask if we can have a table for 5 preferably outside. The lady (whom I may also add was the "manager") rudly looks up at him and with a snarky voice says "I need a minute and proceeds to walk away" my brother response is "excuse me?" And even with a worse attitude she responds "I said I need a minute!" My brother gets mad and tells us to leave and go elsewhere and my dad proceeds to ask for manager towhich to she Rudly and bitchy replied she is the manager. I understand if she was busy she could of politely said of course do you mind waiting for a moment but to loudly pronounce in such a disrespectful way she needs a minute and walks off is such a disappointment. I think the owner needs to show training on proper communication to customers. We are regulars there and for sure will NEVER be going back there. That woman needs to learn respect and manners and something needs to be done about her attitude! I will most definitely be sharing my experience with others as businesses who hire such rude people should not be getting money spent there!

Such friendly service. The food was so good and the happy hour prices and choices were perfect. Definitely will stop by again on my next trip to Vancouver!

Went with family and the food was amazing! And they had 40% off wine that night as well. We had a fabulous time. Would definitely recommend and will return for those prawns!

Been here a couple of times did 2 souvlaki take outs today and was sadly dissapointed.
Extremely poor portion sizes literally a few tbsp of rice and just so underwhelming for the price .
Dissapointed and I think this was the last time.

Cute and nice place. Went for lunch. Service was a little slow but not catastrophic and the quality of the food made up for that.

We like this place. However, my recent experience was terrible. I ordered the calamari dinner and it was cold, not crispy like usuall and was old. I could tell that they had pre fried the calamari and they just warmed it up when I ordered it. It was served 2 minutes after I ordered it. How is that possible? I also ordered their country lamb which I always order and it was cold and full of lamb fat. There was more lamb fat that lamb meat on that shoulder piece. Common Anotoli, what a disappointment. I only go back there again if they offer me the same meal at no charge. Spent $75 for a terrible food and a beer.

Everything we had was fresh, plated beautifully and tasted perfect.

Good food, Decent service. Appetizers are rather small for what you pay.

Amazing food and great staff. A North Van landmark.

Good service and nice atmosphere, but the Greek food is better at Pasparos just up the hill.

Great Greek comfort food. Decor and staff are very welcoming. Meals and appetizers are filling. Food is fresh and hot.

Is it a gastronomic chef-inspired adventure? Not really.

Would I return? Absolutely.

Ordered Calamari dinner, potatoes and kids pasta . Pasta smelled very bad and calamari and potatoes are under cooked.

Calamari is strangely awful but everything else is superb.
