It was a good dining experience. Friendly staff...until the bill arrived.
I was having dinner with four friends and the server, David, had split the bill two ways -- Seat 1 and Seat 2, and we're not sure why he did that.
Seat 1 was for one person and then David combined the other three people's bill as Seat 2. I mentioned to him that Seat 2's bill is three individuals so it should be split. He said he knows that, did the calculations in his head on the spot and told us our individual totals. I actually didn't hear him say that (whereas my friend did) so that was my error. I repeated again that Seat 2 should be split. David got a little irritated and said, "You aren't listening", and repeated himself again. We still didn't quite understand what was going on because we were so fixated on Seat 2 being three people's bill and that was a mistake on our part. Then David went back to his register and re-printed our bills separately and came back saying, "Here are your separate bills because you didn't believe me".
David, if you see this review, I apologize for not hearing what you were explaining but you didn't have to add that comment about us not believing you. My friends and I talked about what happened and we all agree we misunderstood the bill because we never saw a bill split in that way before.
Not a huge issue, I still tipped 18% even though our meal ended on a sour note.
I'm in love with the ambience of this restaurant- it truly is decorated with Greek vibes. When my friend and I went, it was just before Halloween and the waiter was dressed in a cute Minnie mouse costume, which I loved. We each ordered one small Stephos' souvlakia. I ordered the chicken one, which I really enjoyed. Even though I ordered the small size, the portion was really big and I was left full. They also offer free pita bread to accompany your dish.
The prices depicted on their Zomato are different; when I went it was more expensive. I think the souvlakia was around $2 more when I went. But it's definitely worth it- I loved the food there so much!
This is one of the places in Vancouver where you’d normally wait for almost an hour to be seated luckily enough when we got here it was just a bit almost lunch time so we got a table pretty quickly after we got seated a party of 40 people arrived (yay for our timing!). We got the Saganaki and the Lamb Souvlaki which were both really yum and their serving is really big! The staff were very friendly and I like the quaintness of the place. I will definitely go back to this restaurant when I’m back in Vancouver! ❤️

This is a comfortable, casual Greek restuarant in Davie Village (they have another location on Robson) that's well-known for serving their entrees in large portions. Although their lamb is probably their most popular dish, being not the biggest fan of lamb, I opted to get a large Lasagana, which was tasty and quite filling. I also took their Moussaka to-go, which I reheated for lunch the next day, and quite enjoyed that dish as well. Unfortunately, as with most other places, they have significantly raised their prices over the years, although their current prices are still fairly reasonable. The service differs a bit depending on which server you get. While my server was more than decent, there was one guy named "Clinton" who seemed to be just exceptional: he introduced himself to everyone he was serving, went over all of the daily specials (which my server didn't), was attentive, and above all, was very friendly and cheerful. I'd highly recommend getting him, if possible.
Large Lasagna ($14.95):
4/5
The lasagna came with a small side of salad and a piece of pita bread. It was piping hot and topped with a good amount of delicious melted cheese that was crispy around the edges and gooey in the middle. The noodles were perfectly cooked and tender without being mushy. It was pretty "dry" in that there wasn't much sauce (which I didn't mind as I'm not the biggest fan of tomato sauce), but had a generous amount of ground beef. Personally, I did find it to be just a tad underseasoned. I didn't really care much for the salad, which consisted of peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives dressed in a simple sweet vinaigrette. The pita, on the other hand, was delicious: soft and fluffy with a really nice chewy texture. Portion-wise, the dish didn't look very big, but was very filling (probably because of all the tasty cheese) and I was actually quite stuffed after finishing it.
Moussaka ($15.95):
*disclaimer: I didn't eat this right away, but took it home and reheated it for lunch the next day, and I don't know how much that might have affected the flavours*
4/5
This consisted of layers of ground beef, potatoes and eggplants that's topped with a thick layer of thick bechamel, and was again served with a small salad as well as pita bread. Unfortunately, since I took the moussaka to-go, it did end up falling apart a bit. Fortunately, what it lacked in appearance, it made up for it in taste. The ground beef was well-seasoned and flavourful, and the vegetables were tender. I did find the bechamel to be a bit bland and gummy, but still enjoyable. While not as filing as the lasagna, the portion was still pretty good.
Lamb was so good and tender. Good taste. Barbeque spareribs was also good, very tender.. Very satisfied and also the serving was worth it.....
Stepho's provided a pretty great ambience while serving a decent large plate of food for a reasonable price.
This place is consistently popular with lineups into the street, in all seasons.
If you value quantity over quality then this would be a good place to go!
Stepho's combines atmosphere, location, and excellent food for a winning combination. On a hot summer night the terrace seating boasts a plant overhang and lends a level of intimacy and privacy. The music selection is tasteful and lends an authentic vibe to the restaurant.
I tried the eggplant masala, and the portions were large but not overdone. There was more than enough in one portion for two people to leave sated and potentially with leftovers. The food itself was flavourful and balanced.
Our waiter was friendly, but perhaps had trouble balancing speaking to the guests with faster service. We waited about fifteen minutes for him to come after being seated, and an additional forty for our food despite the restaurant only being at around half occupancy.

It was a pleasant experience for me. Although my friend was not happy with the pork she ordered. Service was a bit delayed due to huge rush and less number of servers. Rice, bread etc was very good. Meat was a bit chewy.
I have nothing bad to say about this place. The food is 10/10, The price is reasonable, the ambience is perfect for a romantic date, the music is catchy and the service is quick. The Greek burger and lasagne are my two favourite dishes

Fresh and flavourful Greek food! 🥘
This place is super busy and popular, and served amazing Greek food! Certainly one of the best Greek places I've been, with generous portion and amazing flavors. 🥰
The pricing is just right for large platters. I ordered a roast lamb and my friend ordered a souvlaki platter. The food was so tasty but the large portion meant we both couldn't finish
Husband and I decided on a whim a couple weeks ago to try Stepho’s after nearly 5 years of not going. Stepho’s has always been known for their generous and delicious portions. So we went in with some pretty high expectations.
There are Covid protocols in place - masks, plastic dividers, vaccine passport checks, etc. Super friendly service from everyone, especially from our waiter.
We ordered the Calamari and Roast Lamb plate. Huge portions as expected. Calamari tasted fresh, crispy batter and soft tender inside. Salad, potato and rice was great as well. The Roast Lamb was cooked to perfection, and fell right off the bone. Everything was nicely seasoned.
All in all, Stepho’s is still the same as it was 5 years ago - wonderful and a must try if you’re in the mood for Greek cuisine in the area.
We are so fortunate to have this place just a few minutes walk away from home. It never gets old for us. Delicious high quality plates. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant.
It's cozy and lovely.
The food is delicious. The portions are so big that one is more than enough for 2 people. The prices are reasonable as well.
The place was so old and the design was so simple that it all seemed to be a time travel.

World class Greek food at the same price as a Big Mac Meal, coupled with a cozy environment and fantastic customer service!
If you want a solid dining experience, Stephos will rock your world!
Chicken was crunchy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside, with the perfect amount charbroiled.
The salad was beautifully made with fresh feta, and veggies. The rice was fresh, rich and was cooked to perfection.
All around, I give you a solid 5 stars!
