As usual the restaurant was packed, but we had a reservation and were seated right away. This place is popular because of the huge food portions. My friends were visiting from out of town so I brought them here and they enjoyed the food. However it was so loud in there that we had to shout. This isn't a great spot for catching up and I found the food a bit salty this time.

Chicken souvlaki with Caesar salad

A friend invited me for dinner here not long ago, as it is one of his favourite restaurants. When I walked in, it was super busy with a lineup of people waiting for a table. My friend had arrived a bit earlier to get a table for us, so I quickly joined him. He had the chicken souvlaki and I ordered the roast lamb. Both portions were quite large, with mine being enough for another meal the following day. My friend had a bigger appetite and was (surprisingly) able to finish his meal. Service was attentive despite being so busy, and our water glasses were regularly topped up. The ambiance was very family oriented and fairly noisy but not overwhelmingly loud. This spot is a bit out of the way for me, but I'll most likely return to meet my friend again since it's his favourite spot. I really want to try the souvlaki next time.

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.

Roast 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 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.

Roast lamb

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.

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.

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.

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.

Overall: Great food, great atmosphere! Highly recommend checking it out…read more Atmosphere: this restaurant is attached to the bazaar in the back which was something different and exciting. They had a bar that had a great set up and looked great. A little too dark I would say, but it was fine. Food: Yummy, yummy, yummy! They had traditional Persian food that just tasted amazing! In addition, they had other options such as burgers, sandwiches, pasta, wings, and much more. Having that variety was great because if someone didn't want to a get Persian meal, that had a wide variety of other choices! I had the beef/lamb kebab and it was great! The meat was super tender and moist. The rice was cooked just right and I don't know what salad dressing they used, but it was one of my favorite!! Highly recommend, great place. Service: Our server was fantastic! She engaged with us beyond just taking out order. She seemed genuinely engaged and did a great job of being attentive to what we needed. One of the best servers I've had in a while!

Visiting Coquitlam decided to pick up a couple of grocery items, and needed to lunch before heading…read moreback to Vancouver. Ooohhhh....an attached restaurant! Perfect! This place has a good vibe, friendly staff...from the cashier to the bakery, to the deli counter ending at the restaurant section...we received warm attentive service. Love their fresh meat section and their ground lamb was wonderful. Their grocery deli section is decent but could have more variety. We tried their cream puff and coconut rollette ....it didn't taste fresh. It didn't taste as if it had been freshly baked that day. Perhaps had been previously prepared and refrigerated. The pastry had collected moisture instead of it being flakey and crisp, which indicates pre-refrigeration. I guess my standards for a bakery are quite high. Fresh baked goods daily. The restaurant. Even though the portion size and quality needs improvement....I have to be fair and acknowledge their affordable and reasonable menu pricing. You get what you pay for. Yup. That pretty much sums it up.
