    Mussels citrus ouzo
    Keturah M.

    VERY disappointed with my visit to this VAS Kouzina location. The ambiance, staff, and location were all fine, my issue was the food. I ordered the Mussels citrus ouzo and was served mussels that were not opened and if you didn't know, unopened mussels are unsafe to eat, as they were dead before they were cooked. So, I alerted the wait staff and was told that this wasn't their norm and that they would only charge me for part of the meal (since I ate a few of the opened ones before noticing all of the closed ones)... but really!? You serve me poor quality and hazardous food AND you still charge me?!? That speaks volumes to me and is a sign to keep searching for an authentic Greek spot.

    A fantastic Greek food eatery that is in a wonderful location. Our friends invited us to this location for a lunch time get together. I personally love Greek food so I was excited to try this out. The place has a very nice feel to it... the inside is sharply decorated and the vibe is modern Greek all the way. There is a covered small patio that is nice on a good weather day as well. Our waiter was out standing.. busy but attentive for sure... always around to answer a question or fill up a water glass. He was very kind, engaging, and served us very well. As an appetizer we ordered the saganaki (a cheese dish that they set on fire right at the table) and the octopus. Both were outstanding! The octopus was very tender, you could cut it with a fork, and it had a fantastic lemony flavor. Truly one of the highlights of our meal. The kids loved the flaming cheese... especially the flaming part. I love gyros so I ordered the gyro plate with Greek fries. My wife had the risotto. My gyro was stuffed full of meat and the Tzatziki sauce was mind blowingly good! I got to try my wife's scallop risotto and it was outstanding as well. It was full of flavor and richness. Our friends ordered the red snapper which when served is whole and then they debone it right there at the table. It is a site to behold. I got a little taste of the snapper and man it was delicious. This is a great spot right in downtown Alpharetta that you just have to try! I was very happy with our experience and can't wait to come again!

    H and I ventured up to Alpharetta because we had heard of this beautiful Greek restaurant. We grew up in a town where many of our friends' parents were chefs/owners of Greek restaurants so we're pretty familiar with Greek cuisine. It really is lovely inside and the service was friendly and attentive. We were only there for lunch so we didn't try their whole fish preparation, but will definitely order that when we visit for dinner. The entire menu is available at lunchtime so you can go lighter with salads or heavier with the Greek specialties. I always order the lemon chicken soup when trying a new Greek place and this did not disappoint. The portion is huge so ask them to split it for you. Creamy, lemony, with nice chunks of chicken meat. Perfect IMO. H ordered the gyro and fries and really enjoyed his meal. The gyro meat was so good . . . Tender, juicy, and so flavorful. I ordered their pastitsio and it was some of the best I've ever had. The bechamel was deliciously creamy and the beefy pasta was tasty. The tomato sauce was especially good. I highly recommend this dish! If you're craving your favorite Greek dishes like moussaka or something more elevated like a whole fish, deboned table side, you'll enjoy this lovely restaurant.

    Went back to VAS Alpharetta. The food was ok but certain dishes are honestly a bit overpriced. The not so jumbo Shrimp Saganaki is $28!! It has to make sense. The octopus this time was not as good and tender. The gyro plate should have had more meat. Service was ok, so were the ambience and the drinks. Based on this last experience I don't know if I would go back. I feel that they still do a better job at the Roswell location.

    Moussaka
    Paulina A.

    I love Greek food as it takes me back to my time in Mykonos and Santorini. Vas Kouzina is a traditional Greek restaurant with all of the authentic dishes offered. My girlfriend and I went out for a Friday night dinner and were promptly seated upon arrival. They offer indoor and covered outdoor seating but we opted for indoor since it was wet and rainy weather. Our waiter was very friendly and offered good service. We started with the ouzo lemon drop cocktail and they were strong and very lemony! Definitely recommend it. My friend had the traditional Greek moussaka which is like a lasagna and I had the beef and lamb gyro. It was delicious but came with the smallest serving of tzatziki sauce so I asked for extra and it was $2 lol. Our waiter also offered us carrots and celery? while we wait and I thought it was complimentary but they charged for that too lol. I'm not a fan of the nickel and dime practice so deducted a star for that. The cheesecake baklava for dessert was very rich and sweet, enjoyed it a lot. Perfect size for sharing.

    Squid Ink Linguine

    I had the Squid Ink Linguine and it was phenomenal. Pretty small portion but well worth it. Also had the hummus, delicious. Our server was very good and the atmosphere feels like Greece. Great food, great service, ambiance!

    Baklava cheesecake

    This is a great Greek restaurant that took over the space previously used by My Stir Fry. We came in for a Friday lunch, and tried a bunch of different items. The trio dip appetizer was really good, and much bigger than it looks in person. I would definitely get the spicy feta and hummus again (didn't love their version of eggplant dip). I have to rave about their pita points. Normally, I just expect cut up pita bread at Greek restaurants, but they cook theirs in spices and olive oil. You could just eat them by themselves and still enjoy them. The fried goat cheese was very tasty, as well as the lamb souvlaki and Greek orzo. The baklava cheesecake was just okay- it was pretty cold, so they likely had just taken it out of the freezer. It's slightly on the pricey side for lunch (there is no separate lunch menu). But overall, this is a nice addition to the downtown Alpharetta scene.

    This place is reliably good. Been twice - nice waiter both times. Healthy food options. Lots of options for vegetarians. Everything tastes fresh and good. Especially loved the split pea dip and eggplant dip with the pita. Baklava cheesecake it also great. Tell them if you are going for a birthday, they might do a free simple dessert/candle situation.

    Chicken Gyro
    Jon B.

    This place was absolute fire!!! We got a couple of gyros and some hummus. No lie best Gyros, I have ever had. The chicken was so tender that melted in your mouth, pita was nice and flavorful and the ingredients super fresh. We had the humus too which was the best! Do not hesitate to come to this spot while in the Atlanta area.

    I have been searching for a place that serves moussaka and pastitsio and found both at Vas Kouzina! We arrived for an early Saturday dinner and was seated promptly; the hosts and server were both very nice. Since it was our first time going the server explained the menu to us and was very patient as we took our time looking over the menu. For our starter, we got the trio of dips. My husband ordered the gyro for his entree and I ordered the pastitsio. Spread/Pikilia - we picked three spreads for $15.99. We tried the melitsanosalata (eggplant spread), tirokafteri (spicy feta spread), and skordalia (garlic spread). If you order a single serving of spread, it comes with one pita cut into points but if you order the trio it comes with more than just one (I think three). We loved the eggplant spread and will be ordering a double serving of it next time we go!! It was light, herby, and a nice contrast when paired with the warm toasty pita. The spicy feta is a mild spice and our second favorite. The garlic spread good and worth trying if you love garlic and potatoes. Gyro (traditional shaved lamb and beef): he thoroughly enjoyed this! I had a good amount of tzatziki sauce and veggies in it and the pita was soft. Note: this does not come with a side so you would have to order that separately. Pastitsio: lived up to my dreams of trying this dish! The meat sauce was well balanced - not acidic and not too sweet. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the portion size was enough for me to take some home for lunch the next day! We left Vas Kouzina already planning what we would order next time we go! I definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in Alpharetta (they also have a Roswell location if that's more convenient for you but we prefer this location because the parking situation is easier/better).

    Moussaka $15.99

    I can be your gyro, baby! Oh my oh my - the food at Vas Kouzina will make you want to throw your dishes on the floor and yell OPA! Just make sure the plates are empty first because you will not want to waste a single drop of this food! Greek cuisine is one of my absolute favorites - if not my favorite - and the food at Vas is top notch. We always passed the location in Roswell, but it is not until this baby opened up in Alpharetta that we stopped by. Traditional downtown Alpharetta parking rules apply so plan accordingly. The space is beautiful with ocean decor and hues of blue everywhere. We placed a large takeout order and sat on the comfy bench by the entrance as we waited. The smells were captivating! The food was actually so good we returned within a week or so for round 2! We ordered the following: Tzatziki $7.49 Keftedes $8.49 Grilled Octopus $16.99 Spanakopita $9.99 Grilled Vegetables $9.99 Pastitsio $13.99 Moussaka $15.99 Classic Gyro $11.29 Baklava $8 The gyro was out of this world flavorful and juicy. The gyro here resembles more of slices of meatloaf, than it does the slices of gyro from the rotisserie. I was skeptical at first glance, but one bite and I was in heaven. Gyro meat piled high and all the fixin's. Speaking of fixin's - the tzatziki at Vas is the best I've been able to get at a restaurant. Vas is not afraid to pack in the garlic which is just how we like it. Some places season it so mildly it just tastes of yogurt - not at Vas. It is intoxicating. We always order extra - it is a non-negotiable for us when we order here. It is great on everything, even just your fingers! The spanakopita is another of our favorites - super flaky and moist and really delicious. Obviously dunk it in the tzatziki. The moussaka and pastitsio both warm your soul in the most delicious way. Everything we ordered was really quite satisfying! See I got so excited I ALMOST forgot to share about the octopus. Please, do yourself a favor and order enough so you don't have to share. Chargrilled taste, perfect amount of acid, phenomenal cook. This octopus is perfect. My only complaint is that one order doesn't come with all 8 tentacles. It is a pricey addiction I have with this dish, but one I am sure I will never stop ordering. You really cannot go wrong with anything your order at Vas. My order has consistently been correct, fresh, and oh so flavorful. We now live closer to the Roswell location - and I know we will try it out very soon for another dose of our Greek paradise right from our home in GA!
