Ambiance was quite nice Servers were very pleasant. Food was mediocre. My husband had the beef souvlaki which he said was quite tough. I had the chicken fettuccine. I did not like the taste at all and only ate a few bites. When the server asked what I thought of it I hesitated to tell her but did. Her response was:"oh. Next time you will have to choose something else." I was not offered a replacement and was charged the full price. Unfortunately, there will not be a next time. read more

This is one of my favourite, if not outright favourite of all restaurants in Surrey, of any type or cuisine. The service has been stellar every time I've been there, the food is great, and the prices are reasonable, considering the calibre and quality of the food and of the place itself. Highly recommend. read more

While I was happy enough with the service, it was early evening and we were the only table. We left after the appetizer, we had Kalamari, the portion was on the small side (shrinkflation at work), however that was not the problem, the problem was that it was dark brown instead of golden, this indicates that the oil used to fry it in is old, the fryer had not been cleaned. No thanks. read more

Excellent Greek restaurant that reminds me of my travel. The meal started with house dips. The bread was so light and goes extremely well with the tzatziki yogurt dip. The lamb chop was cooked very well, and the salmon is fresh and grilled perfectly. Definitely end the meals with some homemade desert! I recall mythos is a terrible beer in Greece, but I somehow liked it good here in Surrey read more

disgusting, ordered the spaghetti carbanera.Just soupy noodles . this place has gone downhill.

New Zealand lamb shoulder baked slowly in mustard sauce, served with Greek salad, potato, rice, pita bread, and tzatziki is the most delicious House Specialty. The lamb was tender and delicately seasoned. The food was great. Service was slow even though we were only 2 out of 5 diners, but it might be slow due to the large number of take-out orders; I counted seven in the hour we were there. We will definitely go back and enjoy a drink and appetizers while we wait for take-out to be prepared. read more

We went for a family dinner on New Years Day, and we enjoyed our food.. will definitely return for the great service and tasty meals

Hadn't dined out at a Greek restaurant in AGES and was craving it. I ordered the shrimp souvlaki and asked for a glass of red Greek house wine ( love it). The server TOLD me that I can't drink red if I'm having fish. I educated her on the fact that ordering white with fish and red with meat no longer actually applies. She then tells me that if I were in a highfalutin establishment they would "correct" me. I canceled my glass of wine and said nothing. If she thinks she knows ANYTHING about highfalutin restaurant rules I educated her later that she cannot remove my plate (even though I was finished) because my husband wasn't and it's impolite to do so. We knew the previous owner and the food is nowhere close to the same. Mouthy waitress should keep her comments to herself read more

We visited Greek Corner on Sunday September 07, 2019 with our family for dinner. Yiannis, the owner was so hospitable , food and service was outstanding. We felt like he is part of our family. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants Natural Great Greek Cuisine. Please come hungry, the portions are Big!!!! read more

Sweet 3.75 stars, based on the Ekmek. Overall, tasted good, for sure the quality is there. Roasted almonds, plenty of it. and unique shortbread crust at bottom, think that's what owner said. Compared to Zythos, just a notch down, still 8/10 but I've got higher standards, as I eat ekmek whenever I can. Didn't have the fluffiness & texture. Here, almost like a cake. Anyways, recent paint job since new ownership change, now a bright orange. And got rid of pasta & pizza, now it's truly Greek. located in the nice part of Newton. read more

ATMOSPHERE: it's nice and dim. Not over the top decor, pretty standard for a family run restaurant. Came in with a party of 11 on a Friday night, there were about 3 or 4 other tables with diners at them and they had our big table reservation ready for us. FOOD: was pretty tasty but since we were a party of 11 and had lots of food to order, the meat on a few entrees was basically cold when it got to us. The owner was cooking and he had one waitress working. The appy plate before the entrees was very good, however, we all enjoyed that. Also, I expected a bit more generosity with the pita bread & tzatziki, but oh well. PRICE: standard. No real good deals here and nothing that is ridiculously overpriced. You'll pay the same at most Greek restaurants. OVERALL: tasty food but nothing to really make me want to come back - although if I did, it would be with 4 or less people. Must time out the meat skillfully! read more

I prepare some pretty awesome Greek food at home. I make my spanakopita fresh. My greek salad? Super tasty, packed with a variety of colours because I like me some peppers. And having said that, this restaurant which has been a Greek restaurant for as long as I can remember is under new ownership and new management. Seems to me that hubby is manning the front of the house while his wife prepares the food in the back. Probably the best Greek Salad I've had out in a restaurant. Really well prepared, great knife cuts so that you aren't getting too big of chunks and I love the way the dressing was handled. Perfect balance. Colour me impressed! The spanakopita: Four smaller spanakopitas adorned my dinner platter and they were lovely. She's using more bread crumbs in the filling than I usually do, but the whole reason I keep trying other spanakopitas is that I like to see the variations. The seasoning was spot on. The souvlaki had a lovely herbed sauce on it and was also moist and delicious. The pita they serve is not that horrible flavourless puffy stuff other shops do. This place has great pita... I wonder if they are making it fresh? Delicious. Soft, but a little crispy cut into nice triangles. Well done. We could have used a refill on the tzatziki though - DH and I will definitely order extra next time. Really, everything was better than expected. I will pop back in for dinner in a couple of months to see if an upgrade to 5 stars is warranted! read more

Went there to eat lunch, just missed the cut off by 5 mins and the place was dead empty, they refuses the lunch service, why wouldn't u accommodate us? The place is soo empty, u hv a cop station next door and i never seen anyone of them eat there, the place is empty all the time. Must be shitty food and shit service, no clue how they pay bills read more

A lot of Greek places I find are the same. Some are good, most are pretty average and some are just, terrible. Of course you could apply this to any type of food, but for argument's sake, let's talk about Greek food in particular. In Surrey, you have a few choices for Greek food, Anastatia's, New York New York, My Greek, Vlassis and the list continues. The Greek Corner opened up about 4 months ago, and replaced the long standing John's Greek Taverna. Having been to John's a handful of times, I was sort of skeptical at best about this place. However, one stuffy Friday night, when I didn't know what I wanted to eat, I decided to take my mom out for dinner and give this place a shot after reading a few reviews which seemed mostly positive. Hey, you never know if you don't try, right? I'm sure glad I did. The decor seems pretty standard for a Greek place, hardwood flooring, dimly lit, and a nice skylight above which encompasses most of the dining area. The owner was super friendly and outgoing, and he really puts you at ease. As far as I can recall, the menu consists of mostly Greek items, and does not have the items you often find at other Greek restaurants like Pasta, steaks or pizzas. This is fine by me. On to the food, which is the most important part of this review. I ordered the chicken souvlaki, and my mother ordered the calamari plate. Both plates come with a side of rice, Greek salad, potatoes and pita bread. The pita bread comes sliced into nice neat pizza shaped wedges and are warm and tasty. They go quite nicely with the tzatziki sauce which is a little thicker than most places I've been. It is quite a nice change, and it is fairly creamy and has a nice hint of spiciness to it that finds a good balance to go with the pita bread and the rest of your dish. The chicken souvlaki was presented in a pleasing manner, chicken atop rice with sauce, potatoes and salad off to the side. The chicken isn't on a skewer, it appears they take it off for you, so that's a plus in my books, and it is nice and moist. It isn't overly dry like a lot of souvlaki that I've had before, and this moistness accentuates the spices and herbs for a pretty astounding souvlaki. I'd easily rate it as one of the best I've had. I've always been sort of turned off by the way potatoes come on a Greek platter since they always seem to burn my tongue after-taste wise. I usually refrain from eating more than a quarter or so of the potato, but that wasn't the case with these pomme de terres. They are balanced and aren't overly spicy or saturated with whatever causes that tongue burning sensation, so that was a pleasant surprise. I ate both halves of the potato for what it's worth. Next up is the calamari. It's almost like once you start popping these things, you can't stop. This plate also came with the same sides as the chicken souvlaki. The calamari are very crispy, and the individual pieces seem slightly bigger than average compared to other places. That being said, you might not get as much as you would at other places, but I don't think the Greek Corner is competing on quantity. Rather, it seems they want you to enjoy the flavours of their dishes, and really when they combine like this it is difficult not to do so. I will also add that you don't come away feeling bloated and on the verge of a carb coma! Another plus in my books! My overall verdict is, I've found a new favourite Greek place to dine at, and I know I will be coming back. The food is fresh, the owner is super nice and above all, the tastes just meld together for a very pleasing blend of flavours. Enjoy! read more

The Greek Corner - Chicken Souvlaki. So tasty! - Greek Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

Upon take out, our food was packaged poorly. Garlic sauce spilled everywhere and contaminated practically everything else that was ordered. It looked like soup in a bag. Restaurant ignored the issue. I'm beginning to think it was done on purpose as we ordered rather close to their closing time. My husband is allergic to garlic so he didnt get supper that night. Sorry we ordered from you, rest assured, wont happen again. read more

Great food!!! Best Greek food in city, great location too Was there last night with my family, owner was really welcoming and nice Definitely would go there again. read more

This place is great! Has a really nice environment and service. Took my girl friend here and we loved the place ever since. The best food they have is the Calamari. The chicken souvlaki was tender and the sause on it was magnificent. Would recomend this place to anyone who likes great flavors on one plate. read more

This place has a cute ambiance with great lighting for a lunch date. Came in trying to get some nice Greek food and was immediately greeted by our friendly waiter. He seemed genuinely nice and passionate about the food as he always checked in with everyone and started nice conversations. We tried the chicken souvlaki and it was delicious and fresh! I would definitely recommend coming here as it seemed like a friendly family run restaurant! Prices were pretty fair for the meal too! Great service! read more

The Greek Corner - Chicken Souvlaki - Greek Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

I always like to order moussaka whenever I am at a Greek restaurant. The moussaka here was good, but it is not the best I have tried. The portion size is also on the smaller side. The quality is there. Service was good. We were the only table at one point before another set of customers stopped by. I give 3.5 stars for the moussaka. read more

Owners changed, food is no longer the same quality. Sad to see as this was one of my favorite restaurants.

Everything is delicious...Yanni and Kiki care about the food, atmosphere, and customers!!! Yanni and Kiki welcome you and treat you like family...everything is amazing!!! Calamari salad, dolmades, bifteki...yum!!!!! Amazing Greek food! Order anything you are in the mood for...because it is all good! Say "hi" to Yanni when you come for an awesome Greek experience! read more

Atmosphere: 5/5 Taste of food 4/5 Service 3/5 Quantity of food I came here do a quick lunch in a weekday but it took nearly 20 minutes for them to bring the food even though they were not that busy. The food was quite tasty but the lunch menu for 12.99 is quite small. If you are a big guy, you won't be satisfied and if you are a small person, you will. The place in itself is beautifully decorated and has a nice ambience. read more

Sorry. Wasn't impressed with the food here. Restaurant was clean, service was good, but the food was a big let down We will stick to. South. Surrey. White rock for our. Greek nights read more

Service was good. Tried the souvlaki with steak,chicken and lamb. The steak and lamb were overcooked. The chicken definitely saved the plate. Server didnt ask how we wanted the meat done. They also gave us butter knives to cut the meat that was already tough and dry. The parents had calamari and halibut dinner. I think those were spot on. I can say I've had better and I may give this place another try. read more

Recently opened, very friendly service. Our table had moussaka, lamb souvlaki, and stuffed calamari. Pita was light and fluffy, moussaka was perfectly spiced and flavorful. My souvlaki was tender, delicious and very generous. The only downside to the stuffed calamari was the light dusting of feta...it wasn't noted on the menu and the person who ordered it has a dairy sensitivity. Salad was crisp and fresh, rice was delicious and the potatoes were perfect. Nice atmosphere, and the gentleman serving is very excited to make you happy and stuff you to the gills. We are thrilled to find a great Greek place so close to home and they do take out! We will be back! read more

Showed up here on a saturday 50 minutes before closing (9:10pm) and they wouldnt seat us and said they were closed even though there were still 2 tables eating and the sign clearly says open and the close time is 10pm. I can understand a kitchen closing 10 to 30 minutes before close, but to not be seated 50 minutes before your posted closing time seems pretty unreasonable to me. read more

Surrey is not known for their Greek cuisine, but this one is definitely an exception. The food is great, the service is amazing, and the owner is friendly. What else can you ask for? I came across The Greek Corner through Yelp, and with it's great reviews, I've decided to come and give it a try. The reviews definitely don't lie. The first time I came, I had the lamb souvlaki lunch. The lunch didn't come with pita bread, but the owner was so generous to give it to me anyway. The lamb is tender and juicy. No funky smell at all. The second time, I had the chicken souvlaki. I always try to stay away from the chicken because of the dryness, but this one is not dry at all. Ask for the special sauce they make in-house. It goes great with the chicken. We finally have some good authentic Greek cuisine in Surrey! Woohoo! read more

Great place! Nice, rustic atmosphere. Wonderful food. Taking everything into consideration, it's one of the best Greek experiences you can get anywhere. Not trying to be dolled up like other places. I would call it 'upscale mom and pop'. There seemed to only be two people working at the time my wife and I visited, but the food came out fast considering it looked like there was only one person cooking. The other person was an older gentleman who looked like the guy from the move Up and he was serving tables with energy. Very good customer service. Some of the most enjoyable calamari out there. The dinner sides were flavorful and comforting as well. This place is worth a try at the least! read more

The greek corner is tucked away in a shopping complex in newton. The inside of the restaurant is nice an cozy. Once inside you feel like you have whisked away to the inner streets of a greek town. The owners are very nice and hospitable. Their service was excellent and food was decent. The calamari was good but I favored the potatoes over anything. The potatoes were cooked to perfection. The rice pilaf was filling. My personal favourite was their tzatziki sauce along with their pita bread. read more

I see a lot of high reviews here, I'm rating this place based on my favorite Greek dish, Roast Lamb. I went here closer to when they first opened shop as the new owners. Place was empty but service was really good, the chef owner came out & asked us about the food. The issue I have was with the Roast Lamb, I've never had Greek food with that creamy sauce on top, I'm someone that enjoys big portions & flavour. The issue is that the sauce erases the flavours. The Good: Service The Bad: sauce ruins the food Best bet: based on the reviews, odds are you'll like it as long as your not big on Roast Lamb , so take a run at it. read more

We have eaten here for dinner with our friends at least 4 times over the past few years and have always had an amazing meal, great service and generous portions, until today! First thing that struck us odd as we entered was the fact at 6:15pm we were the only dinners there. The waitress was also new, as the Owner who had always welcomed us in the past, and served us, and treated us like family, was not present! There were 7 of us for dinner as I had chosen this restaurant for us all, based on my previous great experiences here. The waitress was very friendly, but lacked the skills to serve us properly with incorrect food orders and billing, which considering we were the only Patrons, there was no excuse for any of this. I ordered saganaki cheese for a starter to share with my husband. It came hot and sizzling, but with no pita bread! By the time the waitress came back with the pita under duress, after we insisted that was the correct way to serve it, it was cold! She said that if we ate the pita now, it would not be served again with our main course, seriously? Then when our fellow dinners asked for more tzatziki with their main courses, as the portion served was not enough, she ended up charging us all extra for this. The portions on my Kalamari Dinner was more like an appetizer size and did not include the tentacles like served in the past, just rings, rice was not fully cooked, potatoes dry. I would rate my dinner 3 out of 10. My husband ordered the lamb shoulder and it came as shredded meat piled on his plate, he was really disappointed with the presentation. I later found out that the Owner had sold half the business, and was not Onsite, when I asked where he was. Another couple finally came in to eat there, when we were halfway through our meal. I apologized to my friends for the poor service, food and my bad restaurant choice, when we discussed our dining experience later. All things considered, sadly I do not see a long future for this restaurant now. I know we will not be returning again. read more

We went to the Greek corner today for dinner. I think the owners have changed and it's not as authentic as it once was. For example, the Greek salad has white onions now. Not red. It's the first time I've ever ran out of rice in a Greek meal and we ordered the platter for two. The spices on the chicken don't taste Greek. The calamari was good. So was the pits bread but definitely something has changed from before. read more

They have changed hands...the restaurant must have been sold. The food is not what it once was. So disappointed.

Our boss ordered a staff meal for me and my coworkers. The food that came was fresh and generously portioned. We had chicken souvlaki, Greek salad and calamari. Everything was so delicious that not a single word was spoken amongst me, or my coworkers. Judging from their elongated moans, I'd suggest they felt the same way. I will only ever order Greek food from here! read more

Happened to be in the area on a Tuesday night. When we arrived there were no patrons in the restaurant. Going with a yelp gut feeling we went in anyway and sure enough the food was very good. Each section of our Roast Lamb dinner had its respective sauce. Everything was well prepared and spiced independently. Two factors that contributed to the 4stars though, the roast lamb was served in pieces, like they were food scraps, broken down, sort of like pulled pork but in larger chunks. To date I've only seen this delivery in stews and sandwiches. The meat was lean so it was not likely the shank however it was well marinated and soft. To compare, a Greek food court venue at Oakridge Mall serves a roast lamb meal which consists of the lamb shank- meat intact on the bone. Steffo's in downtown does the same. Second factor, I was thirsty for 6 hours after the meal....(good sign there's a good dose of msg somewhere). The older gentleman- the owner(?) was very courteous. A bit unusual to dine good food quietly but this in its own has its merits. read more

Watch out for the 5 star reviews over the 7 months or so.. Obviously fake. If you don't believe it, go ahead and order, I'm confident you'll agree after you get your order. The food is bland, lacking in any traditional Greek flavors, and frankly disgusting to look at. I gave this place one last chance last night because I saw the review ratings were decently high. I hoped they had turned a corner. The ribs looked like they were just boiled and dumped in the tray. The lamb shoulder looked the same but was so dry and over cooked. Frankly it would've been better if it was boiled. Frankly I wish I could get my money back. Feeding a family of 7 isn't cheap. But I'll you what is cheap, whoever is cutting all the ingredients that go in to making a great Greek meal... I've been going here for years since John, the original owner opened it. The food and service was great. Then John sold it and it wasn't so great, until Yani took over. He and his wife did a fantastic job with a legit Greek menu. Sadly they have sold the business and moved on. Unfortunately the new owners have done a poor job at meeting the standard that Yani did. I've stopped in there twice and asked about Yani and they led me to believe he was still there. Which obviously wasn't true. Perhaps trying to keep the business afloat on the reputation of the previous owner. I don't typically like to give bad reviews, but this place has now reached 3 strikes from me, and has seriously disappointed with prices that do not match the quality of the food. read more

I had the veggie moussaka and she had the chicken souvlaki. It was absolutely delicious. The moussaka's flavours melted in my mouth and took me back to Greece. The waiter checked on us often with lots to talk about. The only thing I could suggest they improve is the over powering music. I love music, but not if it impedes me conversations. read more

Not sure how this place got such high ratings we were really disappointed with the food quality. The hummus was way overpriced at $7 for a small amount of mediocre hummus. The bland pita and bland hummus did not make for an enjoyable appetizer. The chicken souvlaki lunch... the chicken was moist which was good but was weird because there was a line of salad dressing on top. The rice was horrendous, stale, had hard bits in it and was not even warm. The single piece of quarter potato wedge I got was dry and lacking flavour. There was literally maybe 3 tablespoons of Greek salad served with the meal of which the majority was yellow cooking onion which has no place in a salad. This place is way, way overpriced for what it is. For food this mediocre you would at least expect quantity since you're definitely not getting quality but unfortunately this place misses on both. Would never return. read more

My friend's family was out of town and decided I was the next best option to celebrate his birthday with. We wanted to eat something filling that was close by. Lo and behold, quick yelp search and this restaurant is a few minutes away from where we had met up! From the outside, it definitely was intimidating as the restaurant was completely empty. Mind you, we went in at 8pm on a gloomy, rainy, Monday night. Understandable. Our server, who I presume is the owner as well, was very kind. I ordered the Athenian chicken and my friend got the Lamb Souvlaki. You also get complimentary pita and tzatziki while you wait for your meal. We got a whole potato, EACH! I've never been to a greek restaurant where they were super generous with their potatoes (or maybe I've been doing greek all wrong). However, my friend gobbled up his food pretty quickly and was in love with it. I personally wasn't a big fan. The greek salad was good but you can't really go wrong with that. The potatoes were delicious but I definitely was not a fan of the rice. I didn't like the sauce they put on top.. it just didn't sit well with my taste buds. However, my chicken was pretty good! The red sauce on top was a little bit on the saltier side, but the stuffing of spinach and feta inside was soo good, although I was a little disappointed at there not being much of it. All in all, I think I am returning because my friend fell in love with his souvlaki and wants to go back for it. I'm definitely going to give the place another try and order something different. read more
