SOCRATES in the Heights

This place is always busy - probably because it is so good! They nail greek food. When you go in you can see the cooks hard at work, everything tastes so home-made and made with love. The fresh pita is AMAZING and also whichever souvlaki you choose add the prawn skewer because it adds a lot of yum. We usually eat in when we go because we feel portions are bigger, and the presentation is great. They are always so excited and happy to serve you and you can tell they take pride in what they do. FLAVOUR CITY.

Amazing experience at my first time trying Greek cuisine. I arrived there almost at the end of the shift but the team didn’t esitated to take my order and make it as fast as possible. The food was delicious, spectacular and it’s a huge amount of food. I ordered a lamb shoulder roasted which was unbelievable tender and juicy and it came with 2 slices of a delicious fluffy bread. The ambient is cozy, with inside and outside tables and some quotes of Socrates on the wall. Worth the experience!

Came across this unassuming Greek food place from the front at first, but they serve some of the tastiest Greek meals in the city. The place overall consists mostly of a very large kitchen in the back. They have some dine-in seatings but very limited, which makes me think maybe they serve more take-outs and catering. We showed up at around 8PM on a Saturday evening. There's some people coming by to pick up their orders but overall the place was very quiet. They have some small tables and chairs outside, only to sit 2 people each. But since there's no one there, we opted to enjoy our meals outside to soak up some rare Vancouver evening sun. Price is fair, portion is good, every single component of our souvlaki meals is seasoned to perfection and the soft pita bread came warm, toasted with slight crispiness outside but fluffy inside and oh, so garlicky! It's heaven. If you're confused as to why there's no menu inside, there's a large QR code you can scan on the window as you walk through the door to see their digital menu. We'll definitely come back again.

Easy 10/10 experience. I had the roast lamb and my boyfriend had the half chicken. Firstly the service was so sweet and pleasant. I thought the prices were on the higher end but the portions were HUGE and made it actually a great value. For us it is easily 2 meals in one each. Food quality was amazing, everything cooked correctly, flavor was perfect. Would recommend this to everyone
