One of the nicest Greek restaurants in town. The country lamb is fantastic and very tender.
They also offer daily specials which seem to be attractive!
Great ambience and attentive service.
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

Friends and I have always wanted to try this place. Was a tad disappointed they didn't take reservations on a Friday night but suppose its normal considering its Yaletown and there is a lot of traffic. We did a walk-in anyways and was seated on the patio.
Server was friendly and welcoming. She made sure our questions about the menu were answered. They focus more on family style dining so that was great to know. Their cocktails were delish. Loved the Sangria.
Food for the most part was delicious. Flavourful and hot food came hot. Calamari was not too soft with a light crunch and pita bread was warm with a great chew. Shared the skewer combo plate with my husband and that was plenty. Loved how they incorporated corn and beets in their vegetable medley. Kreatopita was interesting. Like a meat pie in phyllo dough crust that looked like a bagel. Was tasty!
Was not impressed with the male staff that delivered our food though. He just came by and put food wherever on the table..not friendly at all..perhaps he was having a bad day..but hey, don't take it out on your customers.
Will I come back? Maybe. Enjoyed the patio scene..might be a great summer lunch spot.

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.
For the price and the delicious food, we will definitely be going back.
Just had a wonderful meal here. The food was amazing and the staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. My girlfriend and I split the Dolmathes and the Country Lamb platter both of which were delicious and very flavorful. The restaurant was pretty loud but i'd attribute that to the fact that it was jam packed. I would highly recommend the Lamb platter for a couple to share.
Large portions and very tasty food! Also going this menu had some selections I havent seen on other menu's. Including the seafood orzo dish which I had. It was perfectly seasoned and the seafood was cooked just right. Service was a bit messy, but very friendly.
One appetizer with interesting flavours was the Octopothi which included grilled octopus, capers, red peppers, and olive oil. The octopus had crispy exterior bits while the interior was tender.
For dessert, we tried the Ekmek which was made of pumpkin custard, shredded pastry, whipped cream, and almond dust. It was wonderfully rich and creamy, and subtly sweet.
Taste of Yaletown is back again this year, and of course there are new restaurants on the block. Something about when Taste Of Yaletown returns, for me it's knowing summer is actually over for good. I like it, it's like my little closure (PSL from Starbucks does the trick too). This year I had to put. The Greek By Anatoli on my to dine list. Not that I've never been here previously, but because I am in love with it! The Greek by Anatoli’ focuses on small share plates or “mezze”. Which is perfect for me. I like ordering a bunch of things and trying everything. The atmosphere is amazing, always full of bubbly personalities.
Amazing Greek food and incredible service!! You have to come and try this place. Best Greek in the Lower Mainland by a long way. Try the Grilled Octopus
Taste of Yaletown is back again with new restaurants and new food to bring joy into our tummy. This year I had to put The Greek By Anatoli in my to dine list. The Greek by Anatoli’ focuses on small share plates or “mezze”. I don’t even think this strip has any greek food besides this place? Correct me if I am wrong. Love this restaurant, the patio is perfect for summer nights. The atmosphere is amazing always full of bubbly personalities. Dinner here and hop over to the pub for drinks.
Food was amazing! went there for my birthday and the service and the food was great! Use to go to Stepho's but its just not so great anymore.This place also had a great atmosphere and a really nice date spot. Definitely will be coming back here.
Just wanted to say how incredible the food and service was! Had a group of 17 guests for my girlfriends birthday. The food came out quick and delicious, way more than we had expected. The experience was fantastic. Everyone left with full bellies and smiles on their faces....we will be back!
My husband and I have eaten here 3 times since we moved here in April. By far, this is the best food we have enjoyed. Freshly and artfully prepared, it is becoming a favourite.
Not going to lie, I forgot to take photos of my food because I was so hungry! Lol. The Greek by Anatoli is really good - and that is saying a lot because I am Greek and grew up with Greek food my whole life. They say nothing is ever better than your grandmother's food, which still is true, but their comparison is VERY close. I had their calamari for lunch with a ceasar, rice and potatoes and it was super tasty. I think that their menu for dinner will be more complex, and I have heard great things!
Stopped here on a Friday evening for dinner. The patio is quite nice. Tried one of the seasonal rotating taps, yum! We had the dip trio, ocotopus, and another main - all delicious. Service was fantastic and the food was great. We will be back.
A sunny, unfortunately windy soon-after, typical Vancouver, day out on the patio had a great time catching up with a friend while enjoying awesome Greek food and awesome service.
If you want to skip the menu and know what to order like a pro, saganaki, lamb chops, calamari.
You are welcome.
Have only gotten to go from there but the souvlaki platter is a delicious dinner for two. We had it with chicken and prawns, they have that summer grilled flavor. Ordered with a small Greek salad. Food quality is amazing. Definitely my favorite Greek restaurant in Vancouver
Such a great spot for Greek food in Yaletown! Had a very nice dinner here with a friend. The drinks were delicious and we shared the souvlaki platter ($40) between the two of us. It was actually a lot of food! Choice of 4 skewers and it comes with rice, potatoes and veggies. I really enjoyed the beef and pork skewers.
We popped in for a pre-drinks bite. Only tried the chicken souvlaki platter but found it to be really great. The portion size was perfect and everything it came with tasted good. The cocktails aren’t anything special - we had the Helen’s sangria and Alexi’s marg.
I absolutely love the beyond souvlaka at The Greek! They also have many other vegetarian options. Their Helen Sangria is really tasty and they have $4 ouzo shots on friday’s and saturday’s
Fabulous dinner! The food has always made me come back very fast and flavourful. The server was a tad slow, we had to ask for service from other staff but it was a Thursday, she was polite and accommodating just appeared distracted or uninterested in being at work. We will be back ⭐️
