Video review on youtube: vancity food crew kefi greek kouzina
.
This place is my favourite place to get roast lamb. Its so flavourful and tender. I checked this place out because its in the small plaza near the movie theatre. They don't do the roast lamb for lunch, just dinner. The side dishes are equally good, the salad and potatoes are standard, but they serve the lamb with this flavoured rice that is tender and just exceptional. I have eaten here many times, so their pakaida for lunch is kind of small, and their ek mek is average. The same goes for their moussaka. The saganaki was good. If you want the best food this place has to offer, you have to get the roast lamb. Sometimes there can be a bit of a wait because they do it fresh, but trust me its worth it.
Excellent authentic Greek cooking. Excellent customer service, the food is well spiced and cooked perfectly. This place would definitely have Gordon Ramsay approval! Considering I’m very picky eater and I really notice texture and appearance of the food being served. Definitely reasonable portions and I noticed their food isn’t greasy at all. It’s very fresh tasting! Very impressed and recommend this place to anyone.
We were there on a Sunday for Father's Day. They were able to easily accommodate a party of 10 with reservation. Food was delivered pretty quickly within 20 minutes for a large party. I had the seafood souvlaki with a mix of salmon, scallop and prawns. It was grilled and full of flavour. The rice was perfectly done. Tzatsiki sauce could have been better. I've had tastier sauces elsewhere. Calamari was a little too oily. It wasn't outstanding. But my dinner was awesome. My son had lamb souvlaki. He also really enjoyed the food. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Price was very reasonable for the portions you get. Only two additional remarks: automatic 20% gratuity fee was added (I guess because we were a large party) and the waitresses wear very short tight dresses that made some of us at the table uncomfortable.
Pretty decent. Good prices for lunch. Saganaki was dissapointing as it was swimming in oil and broiled in a dish as opposed to a hot skillet. moussaka was tasty and filling. Food was a bit slow in coming despite the mostly empty place.
Fresh and amazing. We have been to Kefi in Coquitlam several times. They boast fresh and all home made food.
They even pick their own herbs and pick the figs off their own tree they use in one of their recipes.
I have tried their souvlaki, and their lamb, both wonderful. I love their rice, it is so different than any rice I have had at other Greek restaurants.
Love this place. Went there for lunch and ordered roast lamb and a Heiniken, Food was delicious and the bill was a little over $20. Great deal, will repeat soon!
Very good food and strong cocktails (this is good!). Seating is a bit tight but no waitlines

Not as bad as the reviews. I was attending a training session at the soon-to-be-shutdown Riverview Psychiatric Hospital on hand-to-hand survival techniques when attacked by violent mental patients, and I had a hankering for some souvlaki when we took our lunch break. You burn a lot of calories practicing how to break free from when someone's got their hands around your neck! I had read the Urbanspoon reviews about how krummy Kefi Kouzina was, so I went to My Greek Taverna instead, but they don't open until 4 p.m. on Sundays, and I had to settle for Kefi as second choice. I thought I'd go so I could write a bad review.
But it's only half-bad. I base this on buying one take-away souvlaki meal, of course. The service was quick, and the young ladies who took my order were sporting slinky black dresses like the ones worn at the Cactus Club on the other side of the shopping centre strip. Bonus points! The lamb meat was the best part of the dish. There wasn't much -- two short skewers, 7 or 8 chunks in total -- but they were perfectly cooked and not fatty. It's rare to find a lamb souva without inedible chunks of gummy gristle. This meat tasted like solid pieces of flesh instead of those composite loaves of scraps and fat you find on the rotating roaster devices. The pita was OK too. Not your usual flat bread that you can open to form a pocket. This was a puffy whole wheat thing the size of a large pancake. I couldn't make a sandwich of it, but the taste and texture were pleasant.
On the bad side, the rice was flavourless, even though it looked like New Orleans "dirty rice" because of all the herbs in it. How did all their flavour vanish? The potato chunks had an interesting lemon-flavoured coating, but self-steaming in a take-away container didn't do much for their mouth-feel. The chunks of cuke, capsicum and feta sprinkles of the salad was average. At almost $13.50 (including HST) for this one item, Kefi's souvlaki is on the higher end of the price scale. I'd choose Stepho's over this place if I had a choice, but it's not a disaster.
Good value. The lunch specials are great....tasty and fresh with the house made pita that is second to none. The seafood souvlaki is wonderful as well. Service can be a bit slow but overall a good place for lunch.
Nice Restaurant. Homemade food, not reheated frozen food. I have been going to Kefi since it first opened (before that, the restaurant at this location was a KFC). I have always enjoyed their food and atmosphere.
Fantastic food! Everytime we go we are always satisfied. The food is fresh and delicious, staff are very nice and prompt. We especially recommend the lamb souvlaki and the appetizer prawns. Would recommend Kefi to anyone and everyone!
Best Greek for Lamb and Seafood. Been here a few times on the recommendations from a friend. Have tried the Rack of Lamb Lamb Chops and they were ridiculously good, pefrectly seasoned. Halibut is amazingly fresh. Grilled Calamari is delicious. Ambiance is different from most other greek places, more modern, great for dates, very clean. Service has been friendly and prompt. Servers seem to be able to answer my questions well. Boast an extensive wine list with a few unique greek wines I am interested in trying at some point.
Food was really good. I went here recently and all 4 of us were really impressed with the food and overall experience. It was all about the food, so good. Nice atmosphere, we had great service, and the prices were not bad.
I Like It. I`ve been to Kefi quite a few times now. Sometimes they are crazy busy and sometimes they are crazy quiet. When they are busy, the food does take a bit longer to come out of the kitchen, but it is a pretty small place. The ambiance is really nice, romantic even. It really looks a lot different from most other Greek restaurants. Service has been friendly, courteous, and mostly knowledgable.
The grilled calamari is delectable, so good. Their tzatziki is also excellent, it is obviously made with thick yogurt, and it`s not too garlicky. Their seafood really is fantastic in general.
Tried pasta once and was less than impressed.
Wine menu is extensive and on my most recent visit I tried this new greek wine they carry that is neither Botari nor Santali, and it was amazing!
Overall, a good Greek place that values good food.
Fresh. I like Kefi because everything tastes so fresh. I never leave there feeling bloated or heavy. I've been for both dinner and lunch. At lunch the portions are a bit smaller but a super-good value. At dinner they try to do some different stuff by offering different kinds of side dishes depending on what you order. Some are better than others and they are always accomodating to changes. Greek Salad is really light and just done with oregano and olive oil, which I like. My favorite thing on the menu has to be the lamb souvlaki, I don't know what they do to it but it's so tender and lean, never chewy. I also like the seafood souvlaki.
Kefi is located on the side of the highway in Coquitlam. It’s in a strip mall next to ABC Country Restaurant. It’s close to IKEA and Riverview Mental Hospital. I was introduced to Kefi by a co-worker when we were working at Riverview, and given the choice between ABC Country Restaurant and a greek restaurant, I’ll always take the greek. Luckily, Kefi stands out from the pack. The decor is bright and sunny and classy. It even has a vine-covered garden patio, if you’d like to enjoy your moussaka with the sweet sounds of highway #7. I brought a friend here for lunch the other day, hoping to eat their Stuffed Sole, which I remember as being amazing. The menu at Kefi is quite extensive, with such things a
Kefi has opened for at least over a year or two now. I tried it out when it first opened, it was a pleasant experience. Since I always want to venture out for food, so I never re-visited until now. Given the present economical situation, I was surprised t
