Opening their first location in the spring of 1984, Helen Babalos & Thomas Makris brought us Anatoli Souvlaki. They had a dream of combining the food of Greece with great service to add some Mediterranean style to the North Vancouver restaurant selection. They opened in the sleepy neighbourhood of lower Lonsdale and lived above the restaurant to ensure the quality and service. They were able to create a North Vancouver staple, a successful thriving restaurant based on faithful patrons and a reputation that has been passed through generations.In 2011, the family-run restaurant was taken over by their sons Alexi and Iani. In 2015, the brothers, alongside their cousin Daniel Bergman, expanded on their parent’s dream by opening The Greek in Yaletown, with a focus on mezze-style dining. Now open in Gastown. The Greek is a reinterpretation of the North Shore's iconic Anatoli Souvlaki.

First time going to The Greek. The food was amazing especially the calamari! Restaurant had a nice ambiance we got a really nice window seat as well. The music was very loud so I asked the server if they could turn them down a little and they were able to turn them down. I really appreciate the effort. Will be back for sure!

We ordered the platter where we substituted pork and beef with extra chicken and lamb at extra cost. Chicken was ok but Lam was very chewy and burnt barely any meat on it. Our server was excellent. He apologized and got us for lamb chops complementary..
