Don't be fool around of the outside look of the restaurant! It is a hidden Gem in Burnaby! ,Great food, good services and super... Greek style interior and many photos spots for check in. Read more
My first and will be my last visit.... after finding parking in their small lot, one would either have to walk up the steep... incline along the driveway entrance or the sidewalk on the other side of the house which was badly overgrown with overheadshrubs. When we managed our way to the entrance, the odour of the house was musty. It made us wonder if there was water/ mold issue with the building. Once we got upstairs, it wasn't as noticeable. Our server was very friendly and I ordered a "Steamworks Flagship IPA " ...... I opened the ice cold can, poured it into my chilled glass and noticed it had lots of whitecurdles floating in it. It was brought to the attention of the server and she returned with another can which ended up being badas well. As for my chicken/ lamb souvlaki dinner..... the portions were small, the chicken and lamb was on the dry side , thecarrots and rice were on the over cooked mushy side, the roasted potato lacked any flavor ,oh, not to forget the tiny Greeksalad without a olive in sight. I will not comment on my friends dinners. I will let them decide to post their own dissatisfiedreviews . Read more
The restaurant ambience is really cool. It is a very old place where you can dine in for some Greek delicacies.
Ordered in the moussaka dinner and calamari dinner. Salad was unconventional Greek, they added lettuce however taste was... standard. Moussaka dinner was very good flavour-wise, good spices, perfect amount of béchamel sauce and ground beef. Howeverthe calamari dinner seemed too small a portion of calamari and was chewy. The rice was not very flavourful, a little blandhowever the roasted vegetables were good, nice and buttery. Unfortunate that the pita was burned and inedible. Read more
Delicious roast lamb, but everything else was a disappointment. Bland salad without even a single olive. Lacklustre sides.... Slow, apathetic service. I don't think we'll be back, but I must compliment the chef on our roast lamb. Tender and juicy with abeautifully seared, crisp and delicious crust. Just a shame about everything else. Read more
Returned after a spell to the same charming restaurant and friendly family staff for a guaranteed great Greek dinner. We've... eaten here numerous times over the years and they never disappoint. Started with their greek salad then shared a saganaki. Mywife had their Greek ribs and I went with their souvlaki of lamb and chicken. Entres served with Greek rice, grilled carrots andGreek potatoes. Jackson Trigg wine to compliment it all. Another great dinner at Minoas..and asked for their homemade biscottito go. Excellent. Normally I take pics but got right into the food so I borrowed some. Read more
Good food and taste good but for my own prospective the portion is too small Compare to other greek restaurants, the cheese cake... i order it was frozen on top but went on the bottom, the service is good I love the ambiance garden and greek style Read more
Our large party of ten came here without reservations on a weeknight for a special event. The staff were super accommodating and... responsive, kind and helpful which is a huge contributor to our positive experience. Our server was patient and we had a youngtoddler who is fussy and active ( not always great we are aware) but she was so thoughtful, even gave him something to playwith. She suggested something for me when I couldn?t decide and it was perfect exactly as she described and super delicious! Ourentire party was very happy with the food, it is above what I?ve had at other restaurants for similar pricing. The only thingthat other mention is the slightly unconventional Greek salad but what they make is great just not what folks come to expect oftypical Greek salad. It was my first visit and I would definitely return. They have lovely ambiance with vibes like you?redining somewhere else;) I had the eggplant, other dishes were the dips appetizers, lasagna, lamb souvlaki and roast lamb,spanakopita, the prawn meal and two kids things - I missed what the other two meals were, everyone finished everything exceptthe picky teenager ! Thank you Minoas! Read more
