Takis catered for a birthday party for 26 people. We ordered standard catering menu plus 13 serves each of spanakopita and moussaka ( each serve halved) . All present enjoyed the food, it was super tasty and fresh. Many asked who did the catering - a great recommendation. We had an abundance of food - enough left for dinner tonight. I would recommend Takis for catering and look forward to dining at the restaurant some time in the future.
Great food and delivery service! We ordered the Character Greek Plater and it was amazing! Tasty, holistic and fresh in generous portions! đ
We were in the neighbourhood and looked for Greek food for dinner. We came here, because the rating was quite high and we had high expectation.
We got here around 6pm. The restaurant was not too busy. A server gave us a table right away. We ordered hummus and pita bread as well as calamari as the appetizers. The calamari was delicious, but it was quite greasy. The oil was sitting at the bottom of the dish. We had better calamari somewhere else that the calamari was crispy and dry that we could not see the oil.
We ordered the lamb souvlaki (big and small). The lamb was very salty. We were very thirsty after dinner. We had better Greek food somewhere else. As a result, we would rate this restaurant 3-3.5 out of 5.
Beside the food, the customer service was great and the interior design was quite authentic with Greek design. We may try Greek food somewhere else, but not here next time.
If you are thinking Greek food, then Taki's has got to be your choice.We have been dining there for over 16 years. The food is authentic, the atmosphere is homey and relaxed and the service is personal and attentive. The prices are very reasonable. Tonight we are taking out of town guests for our pre Wedding dinner. It will be a very special evening at or favorite restaurant.
Found this taverna, after a recommendation from some local friends. It had a nice homely feel, from the moment we entered the restaurant. The staff were very friendly, and attentive, without being "in your face".
Our food arrived promptly, and everyone commented on how delicious their meal was. The only negative for me, was that I struggled to read the menu, due to the low lighting. I'll definitely be adding it to my list of places to eat in Vancouver.
Absolutely delightful. We came into this restaurant in April after doing some research and the high rating doesn't lie. Our server was personable attentive and fun, the food sensational, there were six of us so many different dishes were ordered. My lamb tender and tasty, the seafood medley fresh and perfectly cooked, great care and attention to the sides and our calamari appetizer was again tender and tasty. There baclava is heavenly and a shot of ouzo added to the festive atmosphere. We loved the ambience of this special little restaurant, every table around us was enjoying themselves, we'll definately go back when in Vancouver again.
With long lineups at Stephoâs (as usual), we went s few stores down to Takiâs Taverna. Yes, the prices are higher than Stephoâs but with no lineup and a less bustling atmosphere, we were happy to take the table by the window. A nicely decorated interior thatâs cosy and comfortable. I was a bit disappointed that they didnât have any Prawn Souvlakia, so I ordered the Small Chicken Souvlakia $11.95 with one chicken skewer, two potato wedges, few carrots, rice pilaf and a small Greek salad. Sheepie ordered the Pita Chicken Souvlakia $12.95, similar to my dish but with the chicken in a pita. His plate didnât come with any tzatziki sauce, so we shared mine since it came with a lot. My server forgot to bring my pita bread, so Sheepie had to remind him. Pita Chicken Souvlakia $12.95 Small Chicken Souvlakia $11.95 Overall, the dining experience was very good. Good food, satisfactory service and nice atmosphere. I just wished they had prawns!! The quality is similar to Stephoâs, so I can see why everyone lines up there for a $4 difference â especially if you get more in quantity as well. Still, a lovely Greek restaurant.
Love this place! Authentic and great Greek cuisine. Zero lineup. Like having to be able to be sat at a resto without a ridiculous line up and not feeling grumpy from starvation and waiting. Service is great and fun.
Environment was romantic, good food with generous portions, server was cute and very nice, they turned on the heat to Max which was nice on a cold night! I'm drooling while thinking about their food... The Athenian chicken was cooked perfectly, the meat slides off the bone effortlessly. So delicious. I will be back for sure.
Greek treat. Fabulous staff, wonderful food, very reasonable price!! Don't pass them up if you're in the area....:))
Well, I was a little disappointed. I didn't get a sense of being in a Greek restaurant. There was no Greek music, no friendly greeting and the 2 staff that were waiting on us were east Indian. This is not a racist comment. I had heard this was a friendly family owned business. I didn't realize the restaurant was under new management.
The place looked untended. Staff coats, etc were piled by the bar area near the kitchen, and that area just looked messy. The table cloth we were at had large grease (?) stains.
There is a lot of history in this place. I just hope the new owners can do it justice.
I will say the food was great, the Retsina wine was delicious, the portions were generous. Bill was $88 for 2 full meals and a 1/2 L of Retsina, no appetizers or dessert. For Vancouver Davies restaurant area, those prices are decent.
Excellent restaurant with delicious dishes, good big portions, Greek beer and wine and gorgeous interiors. The staff is very kind and polite. Loved the experience.
Really enjoyed the grilled calamari dinner. Large amount of calamari, and it was grilled to perfection. The other components of the dinner plate like the potatoes and rice were delicious as well! Their tzatziki sauce isnât that great, food tasted better without it. The spanakopita was decent.
Service could use some work. We were one of the only two tables at the restaurant but took ages for the waiter to come take our order or even check on us, and water was never refilled unless we asked for another jug.
I recently moved to Vancouver last year so Iâm still discovering the city and the hidden gems, but itâs safe to say Takis is definitely on the top of the list! I have gone into the restaurant to eat with my fiancĂ© a couple times and experienced such great, welcoming, fast service. The food is amazing, fresh and great value for your dollar! My favorite dishes are the Salmon Slovakia and Grilled Calamari. ESPECIALLY the Grilled Calamari! My fiancĂ© enjoys the Lamb Klefitiko. When we order delivery the food is just as good and timely!! Would definitely recommend for authentic Greek cuisine.
Good both as a dine in and takeout experience. Every aspect of my dish was fresh and flavourful, including the rice which same places leave rather bland. Salad could use more sauce love, but was still fine.
This spot is directly beside another Greek restaurant with a similar menu. This one is slightly more expensive, but I found the taste and quality also higher, so it all measures up.
Excellent meal in a friendly casual atmosphere. Very generous portions!
Our "must hit" restaurant each time we are in Vancouver. Its food is fabulously tasty.
There are restaurants with fancier interiors, crisp wait-staff looks & procedures but from Taki's, one gets well fed on classic, healthy food. đđ
