Reviews for Papa Greek in Burnaby, BC
Two and half stars. First and foremost. We've been here many times as we work in the area. There are lots of "we's" and limited... options in the area. The lamb is just too fatty to be served. That's why it's not (terribly) expensive. The rice isconsistently hard(er). It's harder than a la dente. It's not your typical Greek rice and it's just an isolated incident. Theprices are actually reasonable given how exaggerated Greek (style) cuisine has become now. However, there are shortcomings tothe entrees. As mentioned, the rice is hard. It's not the usual fluffy soft Greek style rice. The potatoes are small and notvery flavourful. The fusion style Greek salad is tiny sans any olives. I'm glad to see that it has a bit of green bell peperr.The salad isn't your typical olive oil and wine vinegar dressing. It's a creamy style, based on tzatziki. Regardless of whichsouvlaki you choose (beef, chicken, or lamb) it's all the same price.No pita comes with the platter dishes. It's also worthmentioning some of the staff don't speak or understand well. The proprietor is seeming always grumpy and I never see a smile onher face. Read more
Prices up. Portions lower. We have been ordering here for 4 years regularly. Coved is no excuse for how small the portions are.
Listen, are they perfect? (Near .. damn well, yes) and twice (out of possibly 14 times we have ordered from them), their roast... lamb was a tad dry. Otherwise, consistantly good food here and exceptional service. Like an aunt next door. TRY THEM! Read more
Wow this place has real good food, better than Opa. I normally don't eat the bread. This one was fresh and tasty. The Greek... salad dressing is creamy and delicious. The beef was so tender. You must try this place out Read more
Came here to pick up a quick picnic lunch. Got the roast lamb 5/5 was not disappointed. Came with rice 5/5, potatoes 5/5, and a... salad 5/5. The lamb portion was generous with lots of juice and flavour. The rice and potatoes were both very tasty. Somerestaurants do not do a good job with Greek potatoes, this is not one of those places. No lack of cheese on the salad either.If you like this style of food, then we would highly recommend trying this place out. We will come again here in the future. Read more
Great service! And good recommendations from the cashier who helped me. You got to try the roast lamb combo. The meat is so... tender that it falls right off the bone. It?s a decent size for the price you pay. And I was told that the meat was slowed forat least 3 hours! Read more
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We had a beef wrap, chicken gyro platter and calamari. We were told and... also just read that the roast lamb was a thing to have. I will have to come back. For a fast food type Greek restaurant...thiswas a good experience. Read more
Horrible place. This is what they gave me for 16 dollars and they call this chicken gyro. This place exists to steal people's... money. Read more
