The Greek by Anatoli - Vancouver

Tried Greek cuisine for the first time and at this place. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. Visited this place with the family. We were 5 of us. We ordered the Lentil salad which was really delicious, the flavors were amazing. We then tried the Saganaki (cheese), this was something we had never tried before, was good too, something different so do give it a try. We also had the Ianis prawns and lamb chops which were flavorful and very juicy. We had also ordered for the Country lamb platter, this was amazing and don’t miss out on this, the lamb was so tender and the meat just fell off the bone. By this time we were stuffed to the max. Had the sangria too, was amazing. Service was really quick even though the were packed that evening. Looks like the place is blessed with amazing chefs n staff. Would surely visit again. P.S: couldn’t take pics of all the food as we hogged it before we even realized

One-liner: Tasty happy hour food at a price you don’t normally get to dine out at in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood<br/ Highlight: “True Greek Pork Souvlaki”<br/ Price per person: $12-20<br/ Would I go back? Yes.<br/ <br/ Check out my blog post for the full review!

Today I would be the plus one to Jacquline of “Pork Ninjas”, Instagram and blog fame. We were at “The Greek by Anatoli”, attending a media event, highlighting their new happy hour menu. This would be a new feature that the restaurant would host daily from 2-5pm. And today we would get a sneak peak of things to come.

As a Greek person, I 'd say the food was relatively authentic compared to all the other 'persianized ' greek restaurants in Vancouver. Tapas style was great, but sadly the price tag was too high for what they were selling. Being in Yaletown it also carried that pretentious vibe that most restaurants there have. The food was good overall, but I wouldn 't recommend it unless price is not an issue as it adds up pretty quickly and you walk away feeling like you spent a lot for little food.

Our entire meal here was amazing!! The food was beyond delicious, their prices are good, the service was great, and they have gluten free options, I have no complaints! We went on a Friday night and ordered the dolmathes for an appetizer. The sauce was so tasty! We then had the country lamb shared platter. The lamb didn't need to be cut, you could rip it with your fork and knife it was so tender! The rice and potatoes were unforgettable. Even the vegetables tasted amazing. This was definitely enough food for two people. <br/ <br/ For the price and the delicious food, we will definitely be going back.
