I am a convert from Stepho's, the other Greek restaurant a few doors over. With a line up out the door at Stepho's I decided to try out Takis as there was no line up and I was seated promptly. I have now been to this place a number of times and the food is consistantly good. The price point... More

Maybe the best Greek food in town, we went for a late Saturday lunch and had one of our most positive Vancouver dining experiences. We were greeted by Lucas who provided quality service, window seats and good advice on the menu choices. Our first bites clearly indicated fresh ingredients and proper prep. The Vegetarian Moussaka is an unique experience in... More

When we entered Takis Taverna, we were immediately greeted and seated, having been given a choice of where we wanted to sit. We chose a window seat, which allowed us to see the street traffic, in itself a treat. The table set up included a fresh flower and service was quick and friendly. I chose the special, lamb shank. Fresh,... More

Staying near by and unable to go out for dinner, I checked options via wifi and my trusty iPad. I attempted to call a Greek restaurant near Takis which has a very good reputation but, as could be expected on Valentine's day, the phone line was consistently busy. I called Takis and, yay, reached a real person. I placed my... More

When you walk into Takis it is like walking into a little tavern in Greece. The service is outstanding the food is fantastic and be sure to try the grilled calamari it is out of this world

Had Greek platter for two salad was wonderful service was great.. Sat at Window seats so cozy and great for people watching. Souvlaki was delicious. Pilaf yum. Mousakka little heavy on the bechamal. Dolmatas yum. Spanokopita overdone. Tzatki not homemade just out of a pail. Overall good meal. $75.00 with tip for two with tea.

Friendly greeting and service throughout our meal. The beef souvlaki I had for lunch was quite tender. I really liked the steamed carrots that came in addition to the usual rice, roasted potatoes and greek salad. The lunch portion was just the right size.

We were told this restaurant was good and reasonable...Reasonable yes but the food was not good. Very greasy, and cold, everyone had cold meals! The server could not remember our drink orders and served my diabetic boyfriend sugar coke...I was disappointed.
