First impressions say a lot. Minos looks grubby from the outside and needs an esthetics overhaul. It looks really sketchy and turns me off from stopping even though I love Greek food. read more

First off we would have totally passed it by if we hadn't have stopped at Surplus Herby's next door. We are so glad we stopped in. It was quiet when we arrived but we were early for dinner. A few more people came in after us. Service was prompt, friendly, and extreme accommodating. My partner has an intolerance to gluten and they allowed us to sub out the affected items for ones that weren't. The portion was huge and left us both filled. As my partner put it, we've had worse Greek food for more money. Our meal was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Shrimp is so easy to over cook and make chewy but here it was done perfectly with that slight crunch. This will be a meal we think about for some time. We're just sad that we're not local to be able to enjoy Minos more often. Next time we're in Kamloops we'll be back. read more

Omg!! Absolutely amazing hole in the wall! Who would've known that you could get such good Greek food all the way in Kamloops. Portions were generous. Prices were right. Service was delightful and very helpful when it came to helping us make up our minds. We had the mykonos plate and the calamari with lamb Plate. Absolutely superb and cooked to perfection. Calamari was ring and tentacles. The Greek ribs were seasoned to perfectly and the lamb was cooked to taste! Overall would recommend anyone coming through Kamloops who is hungry to stop at this place. read more

Mino's has always been one of my favorite eating spots, staff are always welcoming, and service is great. Great food! Can be a great dinner with friends or romantic evening with mate. read more

The lamb chops are to die for! Plus the services excellent I stopped there weekly and have always walked away satisfied.

Traditional Greek food at a fair price topped with excellent service and attention. Shared a platter with my daughter and we had leftovers. We will return! read more

Minos Greek Restaurant - Chicken souvlakia platter. I was so hungry I started to eat before I took the photo - Greek Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

Well, I first came here in the mid 1980's. Shortly after it opened. It has had about 3 owners that I know of . During the " hay day " , George was notorious for buying people drinks after dinner. The place was packed all the time. Then, he left - very suddenly . And the place went into a slump. However, we had a dinner party last night ( 12 ) , and I must say it felt like the good old days again....our server was pure delight ! We shared the Platter, $ 56. more than enough for 2. So we brought some home for lunch today, kind of like what you do with Chinese Food. This place has atmosphere. Note all that big. Parking is on the street only. read more

Worst food ever since George left , ate there twice first time was awful gave them a second chance, might be off night. Ordered for pick up , pita was burnt , chicken was over cooked dry , prawns tasted like chemicals. We use to get huge prawns , large pieces of chicken for like 20 dollars each. And yes the price may go up some but really, smaller portions higher price , and poor quality. Tiny prawns , small pieces of chicken and smaller Greek salad , 2 dinners a whopping 75.00 for chicken and prawn souvlaki . Won't be going back anytime soon read more

Stopped by on our road trip and we hit the road trip jackpot. Great food and service. read more

Minos Greek Restaurant - Interior - Greek Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

Wow. I did not expect to enjoy this place as much as I did! I have lived in Kamloops for many years and for some reason I've always passed by this place and assumed that Kamloops doesn't have good Greek food. The service was excellent, our waiter was hilarious and kept our waters filled throughout our meal. Being a younger person wait staff will more often than not disregard you which is never a great feeling, but our server treated us generously and with humour. The portion was huge and very filling, but didn't leave me feeling sick. We ordered the shrimp and calamari. The calamari was some of the best I've had in awhile, the shrimp was cooked very well and tasted very fresh. The potato and rice was cooked to perfection and the salad was nicely dressed. All in all I would say that the highlights are - large portions - amazing staff - fresh food - reasonably priced read more

Minos Greek Restaurant - Shrimp and Calamari - Greek Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. Minos is my absolute favourite spot to eat in the world. The lamb roast is my automatic choice on the menu. It's slow roasted to perfect, flaking off the bone with each pierce of a fork. There's no need for a knife when a lamb roast is done like this. Each plate is served with a lemon roasted potato, buttery rice and a mound of Greek salad. Try a bottle of the Retsina with dinner, you won't regret it. And make friends with George. You'll never have a bad night at Minos. read more

So Authentic is right when you talk about MINOS! Greek at its best id say. Now my bf sister is married to a greek man and his mother can cook some damn good greek food. This was second best ive had (cause there isnt anything better then mamas home cooking...) and you for sure get what you pay for. Now my grandfather has been going there for more years then ive been alive so he was greeted like family and we were treated well when we were there. Our server was very patient with the lot of us and very nice. The portion sizes are OUT OF CONTROL..... i literally only ate 1/3 of my plate as did the rest of my family (except grandpa cause he is used to eating at there place and he cant just eat lol) You for sure get what you pay for. I attempted to eat a rack of ribs that was waaaay bigger then i thought it was going to be, literally hanging off my plate. When our food came we were all so suprised cause you dont get portions like this back home. You must get "all the trimmings" its salad, potatoes and rice with our main dish ( most come with) it was just inreal how much food we got. My bf got slow cooked lamb, so succulent, so delish, so goddamn good!! Every bite was filling and i would love to go back any day!! The place is not the biggest restaurant, or even roomy for that matter, but it sure is good and worth the squeeze lol read more

The food is frankly awful. They use some sort of spice that just overpowers everything and makes the food pretty much inedible.

When I asked for Greek food recommendations, everyone I spoke with directed me to Minos. I'm pleased to report that the reports were true. Seriously delicious food, great atmosphere, and attentive service. Solid five stars. On first glance, Minos is super cute. They really nailed the "Greek family establishment" look they were going for. I loved the cloud effect on the ceilings and all of the art covering the walls. The menu here is simple but fully covers everything you'd expect from a traditional Greek restaurant. I ended up going with the spanakopita dinner while the rest of my party enjoyed chicken souvlaki and dolmathes (grape leaves stuffed with rice/ground beef). All of the meals come with sides of rice, potatoes, and Greek salad which was more than enough to fill us up (and then some!) As for the service, our server was funny, attentive, and helpful. He was happy to recommend the right wine to pair with our meals and humoured all of my father's terrible puns. What more can you ask for?? The only fault I could find? Not many vegetarian options beyond the spanakopita. Luckily it's one of my favourite dishes but a veggie who doesn't like spinach would be out of luck. read more

I was enticed by the great reviews only to be somewhat disappointed, as the promise just didn't quite get fulfilled. I ordered the baby ribs and prawn skewer special- Yes the portions were as stated in other reviews- huge! The base flavour was fairly good but lacking in depth and enough seasoning. The texture of the ribs was actually very good, just really lacking any delicious taste you look for in a rib well done. The prawns were not seasoned AT ALL. Even the potato and rice lacked salt. The coffee was 'meh'- fresh but boring and bland. It was fun to have the typical family owned Greek restaurant decor.. The tacky home made paintings of Greek goddesses and familiar scenic landscapes are so obligatory I don't know if I'd trust a place without them. Service was nice. read more

OMG I don't know what was my favorite... the lamb was cooked perfectly medium rare, the lemon potatoes were the best I've ever had, the tzayaki sauce was perfect and the Greek salad large chunks of fresh veggies covered in feta and just enough dressing to accent. My husbands chicken was delicious. The pita served with the meal was light fluffy yumminess. read more

Some of the finest prepared Greek food I have ever eaten. Authentic Greek cooking is to be found here. The lamb souvlaki was buttery tender, nicely rare and all the accompanying vegetables and other generous assortments on the platter were perfectly presented and prepared. What incredible lemon potatoes!!! The Greek salad was nicely crisped and dressed with a very tasty, but mildly flavourful vinaigrette - wonderful. We were on an extended road trip and our long drive was rewarded with a delicious meal at Minos. Excellent service. I enjoyed a fine glass of Mavro Daphne, too. We'll be back! read more

Flavourful food, good customer service, and a very comfortable 2nd floor terrace facing the main street to enjoy a meal upon.

I ordered a Greek salad and calamari. The salad was very fresh and flavourful. The lovely server sold me the baklava which was pure heaven. Will come back next time I'm visiting to Kamloops. read more

Very good food. The server ignored me and only spoke to my male dining partner ("Everything okay here, sir?"). He also talked about me as if I wasn't there ("your wife will like that"--and I'm not his wife, either). He looked embarrassed when I was the one who paid. I would rate the prices $$$ (instead of $$ as it is currently listed on Yelp). Nice ambience inside. read more

Absolutely hands down THE best roast lamb I have ever had!! Melt in your mouth, tender deliciousness!! I wish I lived here that I could indulge more regularly, but alas, I'll have to make due with stops on my way thru. Hubby had the rib & prawn special, tasty as well. Extremely generous portions. Great place, food, service, greek decor. We'll be back. read more

Everything was delicious! I ordered a platter for two and it ended up feeding my entire family of 5. The calamari was the highlight of the night .Service was on point! read more

Amazing food. Chicken souvlaki was moist and tender. Portions were large and flavourful. Great clean well cared for place. Owner was welcoming and enjoyed chatting with the customers. I will be returning when I'm in town again! Thanks Yelp! read more

See all

Meh. It's always just ok, and I wouldn't go too far out of my way to eat here. I've been several times over the years (mostly for family dinners or social functions). The food is ok, and the service is good, but gigantic portions can't make up for the lack of quality. Very typical Greek menu, with very typical greek food. Not awful, but not great. read more

Had a delightful dining experience for value and taste. The wine list is a bit weak but service as others have noted was friendly, efficient and down to earth. I had the moussaka and it was delicious. So we're the roast potatoes. Big yum ! read more

Best Greek food we've had in some time. We both had Moussaka, which was delicious and then the owner insisted on buying us a baklava. Boy, we're we stuffed! Highly recommended if you like authentic Greek food. read more

Don't understand why this place is so popular. The food is mediocre at best. The service is alright, atmosphere is not too bad, but the food is nothing to write home about. Bland, boring and greasy is what they serve up. If that's what you like than this is the place for you. What is with the smashing dishes?? So stupid! read more

A bit pricy, but still good. I find that Opa! in the mall has the same quality to food but at a lower price. Very cute though and I love the menu. read more

We had some trouble deciding where to eat on the way back from a week in Banff. We picked Minos on a whim and were not disappointed. Great food, excellent and friendly service! Highly recommended read more

To still think in 2018 and experience homophobia in quite a popular and well renowed restaurant in Kamloops, my partner and I were quite shocked. We chose Minos to celebrate News Years Eve in hopes of a lovely evening there. Right from the moment we were holding hands, the male wait staff serving our section showed his disapproval with unaccepting glances. Then to our surprise, the other female wait staff from the other side of the restaurant, explained that she would be serving us. Fine, we didn't mind, however, when I politely asked the male wait staff for a refill of my water, it was as if I had just insulted him. He said he'd be right back, but of course not, the female wait staff came back with no message of water required passed on. He ignored us completely, but was quite jovial with the rest of the patrons, wether they be his or others within the restaurant. The food was amazing as usual as I frequent Minos on a regular basis, either dine in or take out, however, if this is the type of staff that Minos hires, I and my partner will not be frequenting this establishment anymore. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for 25 years. The calamari is the best I have had anywhere. My husband loves the beef souvlaki. We never change our order....so I cannot tell you about the other menu items. We feel very happy every time we leave this restaurant! read more

Arrived just before closing but was welcomed nonetheless. Calamari probably one of the best we've ever had. Real greek salad . . . no lettuce! Lamb chops grilled to perfection with flavor beyond belief. The owner was friendly and inviting, excellent service. Would definitely return. If you like great Greek fare, this is the place for you! read more

We ordered roasted lamb and Greek ribs. Food was delicious. Lamb was falling apart tender. Service was good but the food took forever to get out of the kitchen. read more

Great service! Chicken souvlaki is excellent , calamari melts in the mouth. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Can't go wrong here. This place is great. It's in the higher end of the price range but the food is excellent. If you want a nice night out this is a great place to go. Tom the server is right on top of everything and very good at his job. Ask him a question and he knows the answer from the specials to all the ingredients to the dishes. Nice quiet atmosphere with great clean food. I love the specials and can't go wrong with chicken souvlaki. read more

Best restaurant in town! They have the best food, large portions, great prices and amazing service! We try to go there every special occasion we have. George treats everyone like family! read more

This is my favorite Greek restaurant in Kamloops. They have amazing food, amazing decor & amazing service!
