Thomas Makris, from the Island of Skopelos, fell in love when he met Helen Babalos. They met at Orestes Greek restaurant in 1974, while on a Greek dancing tour of North America. Soon after their marriage, they had a vision to open a place like no other in Vancouver; a Greek restaurant where everyone is family; where everyone receives a consistent experience created by delicious homemade authentic food and impeccable service. In 1984 they opened Anatoli Souvlaki in north Vancouver. In 2011 their sons Alexi and Iani took over the restaurant and early 2015 they expanded on their parents original dream, in a new venture with their cousin Daniel Bergman, Alexi and Iani opened ‘The Greek by Anatoli’ in Yaletown. ‘The Greek by Anatoli’ focuses on small share plates or “mezze”.

We sat at the bar - and the bartender on shift was complaining he only got 2hrs of sleep . When we asked about the platter size and how big it was - he laughed and said for 1 or 2… will most likely not go back.

Dined at this location with a group of my staff - We all work in a restaurant and were out for a team event and we were blown away with the amazing experience! Great hospitality from the team there, delicious cocktails, fast service and every dish was phenomenal! The country lamb platter is to die for. Thank you for hosting such a great dinner for us!

This was my first time here and the lunch food was great! Souvlaki was tender and great flavor as well as the meatballs, waitress was fun and took care of us. Baclava desert was dry, we didn't finish it but the rest of the food was worth it.
