    the interior of a restaurant
    Sherry C.

    My partner and I use to go to Stefanos 15 to 20 years ago. Six years ago he had a bad fall and now has a brain injury and is in a nursing home. I decided to come for dinner tonight unfortunately on my own but it is exactly how I remember it. The only sad part is he isn't with me but as soon as I walked in it is how I remember it. I plan to go again in the future. The food is good and so is the band. The nicest part was I knew most of the band members.

    I phoned them around 1:30 pm To make sure, they will open for lunch and will serve happy hour meal or not?! My hubby and I went there Around 2:35 pm. They gave us window seats. Only 2 tables of customers there, including our table, not busy. Our waiter gave us alcohol menu and dinner menu, after we sat down. I tried to ask For lunch menu, but the waiter told us, they don't have lunch menu on holiday. But someone who answer their phone at 1:30pm. They serve lunch at 2:30 pm? Our waiter said, " you can order roasted lamb, we can split it into 2 dishes for you, but we will charge you $3 more" Then he left. I tried to order their appetizer...Steamed mussels, but our waiter told us, they sold out.. so disappointed So, We ordered chicken livers And Red sangria to start, after 5 minutes. Chicken livers --- deep fried onions on top, But not crispy --- 8 big pieces of tasteless oily chicken livers --- with thick and tasteless tzatziki --- we don't like it Red sangria --- tasteless and too much ice Pita bread --- look oily and pale, when they served --- but surprisingly.. it's fresh, hot and Crispy, after you bite on it We tried to ask for happy hour menu around 2:45pm. Our waiter said, " you only can order after 3 pm. The food item with green logo will charge half price, but of course Half portion of regular size" With unhappy voice. After we checked their happy hour menu, not much Greek food, look like pub's menu.. Then we ordered roasted lamb @ 3 p.m. with our waiter. The waiter tried to take All the menu from us And leave, after we ordered the roasted lamb. I told him.. I still need to order more food Later.. then his service changed From impatience services to good and fast services. After the roasted lamb showed up... --- the roasted lamb was crispy And tasty outside, juicy and soft inside --- their rice is made with tomato and herbs, But too hard for us and tasteless.. --- My hubby and I had one Scoop each and leave it aside.. --- roasted potato was too hard and tasteless Our waiter and another Lady showed up every 5 minutes for changing plates, refill ice water and Asked us, " how's the food?" After my hubby ordered more food ... Kalamari --- so fresh, hot, crispy And tasty Kalamari --- we like it Hot wings from happy hour menu --- look spicy to me, when they served, because they put a lot of chili on top --- but it's not spicy at all, Just sour, but too dried Mixed satay From happy hour --- look messy when they served --- got 6 small pieces of Tasty juicy chicken --- 2 small pieces of Dried chewy beef --- 2 small pieces of tasty and tender Lamb meat with a lot of dried Rice and pita bread --- we like the lamb and chicken meat We had a lot of rice leftover, Because it's too hard for us. We just pack the pita bread home. My hubby likes the Pita bread, but we cannot finish it. We just pack to go. I paid $78.70 + 20% tips For their good services We will go there again for roasted lamb and kalamaria.

    Hello, we ordered $250 dollars worth of takeout from them, to dine at home unfortunately the food was very subpar! The chicken was very dry, the salad had no dressing..... will not be ordering from them any longer!!!!

    Prawn and scallop plate - lunch menu
    Carolyn L.

    I came here for lunch and it was quiet on a weekday. The place is huge with a lounge on the ground level and the restaurant above stairs. There is an elevator if you need it. There is also a small area for the band and probably dancing too if you are inclined. Food wise, the lunch menu is definitely much more affordable. I had the prawns and scallops which cost $15 on the lunch menu but $28 for dinner. That is quite a big difference if you are budget conscious. The prawns and scallops tasted ok, not as sweet or flavorful as I would have liked. But then again I noticed most places in Vancouver had this same issue for seafood. The highlight of the meal would be the potato and pita. The potato was amazing - fluffy soft and full of flavor with the lemon. The pita was wonderfully fluffy too, perfect with the tzatziki. I would come back again, but likely for lunch as it is just so much more economical compared to dinner.

    I'm suprised Stefanos is averaging only 3 stars out of 5. I was pretty impressed by this place. The food itself was delicious. I would give it 4 stars for the food. The roast lamb was tender, moist and seasoned well. The roast potato was cooked well and flavorful. Now the atmosphere and staff is what boosted this place to 5 stars. My friend had her wedding lunch at Stefanos and everything was handled wonderfully. The staff were personable, helpful and full of smiles. They accomodated our group quite at the last minute as well, but everything went smoothly. The wedding took up a little more than half the restaurant on the second floor. We had microphones for speeches and a dance floor for people who want to let loose. Everybody that attended the wedding had a great time. Not a complaint from anyone.

    Came here for a birthday party. (disclaimer: we had a set menu) Parking is available all the way along Columbia. The restaurant is located on upstairs of the building, so you do have to climb 2 flights of stairs. Something to keep in mind. The interior is quite spacious, the the exposed roof and skylights. Makes the place look quite nice actually. I liked it. The night I was there, they had a live band who played rock classics. They were pretty decent. I had the prawn dinner. These were nice and buttery, but unfortunately the prawns weren't fresh - they tasted like something out of the supermarket. My friends were raving about the quality of the lamb and I tried a piece - this was decent as the meat was nice and tender, and they didn't go crazy with the seasoning. I would recommend the lamb. The feta salad on my plate was decent though. It's nice to know that there are some decent food options in New West. But you may want to think twice about ordering the shrimp here.

    The washroom is clean but it's dimly lit and only has a single stall. There's an unnecessary mirror in the stall so you can watch yourself go if you're into that sort of thing. Automatic soap dispenser and we'll stocked paper towels. 3.5 flushes out of 5.

    Came here for dinner ouple of days before Christmas. If you love antique homey decorations, you'll enjoy this place! The ambiance was quite the show. Dim lights, with many props and dolls surrounding the dining area. They also had a dance floor/stage area with disco lights! I had their appetizer platter: spanakopita, meatballs, calamari, and deep fried zucchini. The deep fried zucchini was the best in my opinion, crisp on the outside.m, juicy on the inside. It also came with pits bread and hummus and tzatziki. I then tried the roast lamb. As usually, Greek servings are huge! The rice pilaf is unique, it's tomato based! The lamb was very tender and juicy. I enjoyed all of it. Overall, great place to be! Service was attentive and lovely too!

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.

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.

The spanakopita was delicious and the salad was well balanced with other vegetables instead of it just being cucumbers and tomatoes. It's still not Greek Village...

Greek Fellas sets the bar for Greek food for me and it won't be an easy one for others to meet. If there were more than five stars, this restaurant and its team would deserve them all. Greek Fellas is not just a restaurant...it's a feeling, a memory, a small journey to Greece without needing a passport. From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in warmth that is genuine, & effortless hospitality that Greeks are known for...the kind that makes you slow down, savour the moment, and stay a little longer than planned. It's rare to encounter a chef who can elevate classic Greek flavours to this level, but they have done it, and they have done it with elegance. I've had a lot of Greek food in the past and this place is hands down the best Greek restaurant in the city! The food is absolutely delicious and filled with authentic Greek flavours that really stand out. Every bite carries care, balance, and authenticity. I was a big fan of the pita bread platter (Tzatziki/Hummus/Tirokafteri & pita). The tzatziki was so creamy and refreshing, and add in the warm, pillowy pita to scoop it all up, & suddenly it's impossible to stop! I'd say the star of the show was the Original Platter and first of all, it's huge! Mouthwatering every single time I think about it! The chicken and lamb were beyond incredible! The calamari was unreal! Tender outside and wonderfully crunchy outside! The Spanakopita was so good, it deserves the spotlight. And their Greek salad is done right! The cheese dish (Saganaki) was fire, literally! Crispy edges, melty inside, with that perfect hint of lemon! I didn't think it could get much better, but it did when we were served all three of their desserts: Ek Mek, Baklava, & Bougatsa. The Ek Mek is a three-layer cake that's light & luscious! The Baklava was an exquisite blend of flaky pastry and rich nuts. The Bougatsa was a flaky, crispy pastry with a creamy custard filling! It was the perfect finale! My mouth is watering just writing this review :) Absolutely killer Greek food and flawless service in the most coziest atmosphere! We ate so well! Expect generous portions, & real Greek hospitality! But what truly made my experience exceptional was the outstanding service. The service is just phenomenal here. No joke. There are very few restaurants that have this level of service. Seriously... You feel seen, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. That kind of presence stays with you long after the table is cleared. The family behind it is as wonderful as their food -- genuine, kind, and committed to keeping their traditions alive. The quality of the food was exceptional--each dish was crafted with the freshest ingredients, and the flavours truly transport you to the Mediterranean. Our server never missed a beat, checking in at just the right moments, and making us feel so taken care of. Thank you to the chef, and staff for going above and beyond. The team and the chef together create an experience that's not just a meal -- it's a moment you'll remember long after you leave. I love the warm and welcoming interior here -- it immediately makes you feel at home. The place was packed, which just goes to show how amazing this restaurant truly is. And let's be honest--I'm not just writing this review out of the goodness of my heart. I want Greek Fellas to be packed every night so they never go out of business, and I can keep eating here forever! With its outstanding cuisine, attentive service, and charming atmosphere, it's a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking to indulge in a memorable Greek dining experience. I wish that I could carry this place back home with me. In short: Greek Fellas is the kind of place you'll want to keep secret, but it's just too good not to share. Go, eat, enjoy--and save me a seat!
