    we were celebrating a milestone birthday and had to reschedule more than once before finally locking in a 6:00 pm reservation on a thursday. parking was easy with spots in the back, but once we stepped inside, the place was packed and loud. like, yell across the table loud. it was also uncomfortably warm, but the staff let us know we could be seated right away, or wait ten minutes for a better table. props to the servers, they were absolutely killing it. they even offered my mom a chair while we waited for the party to clear out, which we really appreciated. we ended up waiting 17 minutes, but it was worth it. we were seated by the back window where it was noticeably cooler. by that point, all five of us had our orders ready to go. we started with drinks and an order of calamari to share, lightly breaded, served with raw onions, tsatziki, and a wedge of lemon. simple, crispy, and gone in minutes. four of us went with the roast lamb, and i had the chicken souvlaki with hummus. food came out fairly quickly, about ten minutes between courses and the portions lived up to the hype. the chicken was juicy and flavourful, the salad was fresh (no dressing, just feta, which i liked), and the rice and lemon potato were both satisfying. the warm buttered pita went well with the garlicky hummus. this spot is open tuesday to saturday and only from 4:00 to 8:30 pm, and there's no answering machine to leave a message. resos must be called during their operating hours or take your chances, or do take out. it's clear why it's so busy, the portions are generous, and the food hits the mark. we all left with leftovers for lunch the next day. this was my nephew's pick for his birthday dinner, and we were more than happy to make it happen.

    Went here for a family dinner. All of the portions were very large. Most of us packed our food home. My sister in law's mousaka looked and tasted pretty good. I got the lamb chops which I thought needed to be seasoned a bit more but still tasted good as it was cooked to a medium, just the way I requested. The rice was on the salty side. The servers were efficient and we appreciated that they filled our waters without asking, despite it being packed the entire time we were there. I would recommend making reservations as this place is always busy.

    Good thing I made a reservation cuz wow it was so full on a weekday night. They try to squeeze as many tables in there and my seat bumps into the person behind me. Parking is limited to a few in front and a few on the sides. We quickly got seated and ordered our meals. Everything was enormous. The mostly I've seen at any greek restaurant. Definitely worth the price. Calamari was standard. I would have liked it with some seasoning. The lamb chops were fantastic! I asked for medium rare and it was perfect and tender. There were 6 pieces! The roast lamb was just ok. My husband likes the Stephos version better. It was a big chunk of meat though. As with all greek restaurants, the carbs portion is way too much - rice, potato, and pita. The pita not soft unfortunately. Definitely would come back for the lamb.

    I highly recommend MyGreek, it's soo good and the meat just melts in your mouth, esp the roast lamb. The staff is so attentive and food is served really quickly. I didn't take a photo of their calamari, buts it def bomb.com. The restaurant can be noisy but I really enjoy it since it's so busy.

    Went on a busy Friday evening. Service was fast and efficient. Food was typical Greek fare and delicious. Only downside was lack of available parking close by. It was raining and we got a bit wet walking up the back stairs from the parking lot down the street.

    Food was excellent as usual. Portions are super extra large, and the servers are extra friendly. Service was prompt and quick, with an extra serving of smile. Restaurant is very popular and we arrived ahead of the crowd... Highly recommended for the ambiance and food.

    Lamb Souvlaki

    Best Greek food I've ever had. First timers here who went for a Saturday dinner. The calamari/kalamari was well seasoned. The roast lamb maintained it's juicy flavor and tenderness throughout the meal and the lamb souvlaki had a great char flavor, the potatoes that accompanied those dishes had a great lemon flavor. The service was good (received multiple water refills throughout meal with server asking how we were doing). Portions were huge (neither my partner or I could finish). I felt we committed a crime because was not used to seeing food that good in such large portions. Restaurant was packed so there was a 25 min wait for walk ins.

    We drove from Vancouver to Coquitlam for this place and we'd do it again. I love Greek food and this place didn't let it down. The lamb is tender, succulent and gorgeously prepared. I love lamb and am very picky with it and they got it right. The potatoes were also very delicious as was the rice. We started with the appetizer platter, which was a nice start to the mains. The roast lamb is very generously plated, so if you're not too hungry it's plenty for two people. The food, the environment, the menu, the vibe and the service give you that Greek experience that you're craving wanting to go here, which is what we got. It definitely hit the Greek spot for me.

    Delicious spot for Greek food in Coquitlam! Portions are massive and the food is super tasty. We got the beef and lamb souvlaki and the dishes were great. Meat was cooked perfectly and came with rice, salad and potatoes. The tzatziki also had great texture.

    The food is first rate! The service is awesome. The place can feel a bit crowded but that's because of the popularity.

    SOCRATES in the Heights - Greek Ribs & Chicken

    SOCRATES in the Heights

    4.5(30 reviews)
    10.6 kmBurnaby Heights

    Had a fantastic meal for a good price. The roast lamb as delicious and perfectly fork tender,…read moreseasoned beautifully. Beef souvlaki was quite good as well. Portion size is very generous with rice, lemon potatoes, greek salad and good pita bread. The ambiance is quite casual and has limited seating so takeout is a good option. Service was quite quick for us, order and pay at the counter.

    More of a 3.5 but felt a 3 was unfair so rounded up. The Spanakopita was quite large for something…read moreI thought would be an appetizer size. Wonderfuly light and flaky phyllo filled with layers of warm spinach. I was pleasantly surprised how warm it stayed and long the pastry remained intact and not soggy. My partner had the Greek Ribs & Chicken which came with all the Greek fixings ( rice /Greek salad / potatos / tzatziki & pita). The ribs has a nice seasoning run on them but like most Greek chicken ( I found it was quite dry). The potato's were not heavily lemoned either. It really was just a roast potato. We also had a Baklava. This was over sweet & heavy with what I found similar to the taste of black licorice or ouzo. Personally not a fan. We lucked out and got a seat to eat but most people appear to be doing take out orders and pickups here. Food takes a while to be ready so be ready to wait and eat with people sitting or standing waiting for their food. There is small side table, window counter and larger side table but there is definitely not too many places to sit. I'd recommend just puting in an order before showing up to save on waiting time. Staff was friendly despite how busy it got. Located on Hastings St. Plenty of street parking & side street parking and definitely transit friendly.
