Greek
Thomas Makris, from the Island of Skopelos, fell in love when he met Helen Babalos. They met at Orestes Greek restaurant in 1974, while on a Greek dancing tour of North America. Soon after their marriage, they had a vision to open a place like no other in Vancouver; a Greek restaurant where everyone is family; where everyone receives a consistent experience created by delicious homemade authentic food and impeccable service. In 1984 they opened Anatoli Souvlaki in north Vancouver. In 2011 their sons Alexi and Iani took over the restaurant and early 2015 they expanded on their parents original dream, in a new venture with their cousin Daniel Bergman, Alexi and Iani opened ‘The Greek by Anatoli’ in Yaletown. ‘The Greek by Anatoli’ focuses on small share plates or “mezze”.

    We went to The Greek in Yaletown to celebrate a birthday on a Monday night. We don’t typically frequent Greek restaurants but wanted to try something new. Everything was fantastic and a good value for money spent. Would go again.

    It is Greek inspired food not to be confused with Greek cuisine Lack of cucumber chunks and oregano does not make a Greek restaurant However….the overall concept is great even if they are relying on a watered down version

    Why make a reservation when you tell the hostesses/server when you arrive that you have a reservation? She just told us to find a table anywhere very rudely even my 9 year old was surprised. We go find a table that was supposedly clean to find it sticky and wobbly and the scan app not working. The rude server gives us a pitcher of water and takes off. The customers near us told us the scan app didn’t work either. We were fed up left and met our friend and had a nice lunch Minami instead. Minami has great service as usual, nice ac unlike the Greek

    The food was really good with the lemon potatoes being the star of the show. Portions were huge. The only drawback was the music was loud and everyone yelling to have a conversation.

    yummy foods, great services we asked our servers for blankets because it was a bit chilly, she gave us 2 clean and warm blankets we also had a cake, she brought knife and plates and they did not charge us for this (we were at Yaletown distillery the other day and they charged us $12 for serving our cake)

    Thank you "The Greek" - I reserved a table for my 17 year olds birthday with 6 friends. I was not invited and the girls found their own way there. They arrived early and were seated before their reservation. The food was excellent according to them. I had dropped off a cake earlier and asked the hostess if their server could sing my daughter happy birthday. Everyone had a great time. I love Anantoli's in NVan so I'm happy to hear the Yaletown location has kept its family charm! 10/10

    Food was fantastic especially the baked feta and tomatoes. Service was just ok though she seemed very friendly but wasn’t around very much multiple times with empty drinks and no server. So restaurant was losing money when we could have had drinks. Other than the service it was great, I would go back for the food.

    We had a reservation but they overbooked so our group had to squeeze around a table for 4. They wouldn’t move a table over for us but 2 people can sit at a table for 4?? They must’ve been short staffed as two people served the whole restaurant. Food was tasty but way overcooked. Mussels were small and rubbery, souvlakis were overcooked.

    Best calamari in Vancouver! Saganaki is delicious but a really small portion for the price. Starter salads are also super small portion. Great value with the Skewers for 2 though! Portions and prices are a little all over the place. Great service though!
