Skewers Souvlaki Pita Bar

Hands down the best Greek food I’ve ever had. We ordered the mixed grill platter, and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary flan for dessert 🍮 Great atmosphere, nice music, and an all-around amazing time. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Delicious! Big portion size and flavorful. It’s not salty at all and the white sauce was tasty too (which they had refills). The restaurant itself is quite small so there might be some wait time. But the staff was super attentive and friendly regardless of how busy they were. The mixed platter is enough for two people (maybe with a side dish if you want to be extra full). I highly recommend! Will come back again!

Food was okay; service was disappointing. Upon entering it was quite confusing to where we could order as the place was filled with customers who were waiting around for seating. It was a struggle to squeeze by everyone just to order at the counter/till, which is understandable since the location itself is quite cramp and with limited seating. We ordered the lamb gyro and lamb platter for 1. The food itself was okay- I was expecting it to be really good from its reputation and reviews; however the lamb in the gyro was quite dry, and the lamb skewer had 1-2 pieces that were juicy (rest were dry). The highlight I would say was the tzatziki sauce (super garlicky), but besides that nothing special. The 1 star review is attributed to their poor service. After ordering we decided to wait outside, as the place reeked heavily of oil/meat, and there wasn’t any room to stand inside. The waitress estimated it would take around ~15 minutes, but we waited closer to 35+ minutes. I understand that it was quite busy, but what bothered me was that customers that came after us who were waiting for seating, had already received their food and was eating long before we even received our takeout. We assumed take out was going to be the faster option, but I guess not. We also went in several times to see if our food was ready, and they said they would bring our food out to us which they did not. Overall, it was okay- more of a one and done ordeal. Most likely will not be returning to this place.

I don’t come to downtown often but every time I do I grab dinner at this place with friends. The most economic option is DEFINITELY the mix platter (lamb+chicken+pork) to share for 3 people, it’s so much food and with a complimentary dessert. Their meat is cooked and spiced to perfection and their FRIES is the crunchiest I’ve ever had in my life, I don’t know how they do it but that thing stays crunchy throughout the meal… absolutely mind blowing. One of my all time favorite restaurants! Again if you do this platter and spit the bill 3 ways it’s like $14 per person, filling meal + dessert, so financially beautiful it’s almost not Vancouver-like anymore… though do come early for dinner because usually there are long lines.

When I think of Vancouver, I think of this spot. It’s a must-visit for me every time I’m in the city. The gyro is incredibly flavorful and so filling. Every bite gets better and better, and the fries inside the gyro are such a nice touch—it makes it soooo delicious. Every time I’ve come here during lunch time, I’ve been seated right away, which makes the experience even better! Reliable, comforting, and delicious—this place has become a core Vancouver memory for me, and I’ll always come back. 🙂‍↕️🤏🏻

Best Greek I have tried in Vancouver! Absolute hidden gem in Gastown, the restaurant is small but charming with a small but delicious menu. The meat was well seasoned was not shy on the portions. Left me full and feeling great. The meat was incredibly tender with just the right amount of char you want with grilled meat. The tzatziki sauce was delicious and balanced the whole meal. The staff here are also amazing, fast and friendly service. All at an affordable price!!! This place is a must go for great greek food here in Vancouver!

Best Gyro & Souvlaki I’ve had!! The bbq is charred on the outside, juicy & soft on the inside, and full of herb & spice flavours. We ordered the Mixed Grill Platter. The portion is large with amazing variety. The salad is dressed with generous amount of olive oil. The fries are crispy. The sauce is creamy and spicy. The pita is warm. The whole platter combines perfectly into a feast of textures and flavours. They also offered an ice cream puff dessert on the house, which is delicious too. We had such a satisfying meal!

Small place, but great food! One of the best wraps in the city! Fair prices! Great service ! We really appreciated the dessert they offered us at the end!

We enjoyed the chicken platter for one and the lamb platter for one. The chicken and lamb were both super moist and tasty. They treated us to a complimentary flan. Service was decent. We ate outside - the chairs and tables are a bit awkward but the food made up for it.

I've been here a number of times and service is attentive & relatively quick (when it's not packed to the hilt that is). There are only a handful of small tables and they do not take reservations so be prepared to wait if the place is already full. On the most recent outing, we tried their Greek Salad & Lamb Gyro. They threw in the profiteroles for free ( albeit the pocket tasted like it was too soggy / stale so it may have been a give away free to prevent food waste. Gyros are humungous. Definitely not a fit it all in your mouth in one bite type of wrap. As time goes on, it does get greasieer as the oils drip down. Wear a bib or eat faster . The large Greek Salad was probably too large for that nights appetite. I would just go for a small next time. I've had their mixed plate before & truthfully with the amount of protein that comes out at one time, the quality declines for the meat that you don't touch til later. A group of hungry mouths might be able to split evenly & enjoy but for 2, you get left with meat gone cold which is not ideal. Cook of meat is also hit & miss. If you get dry chicken , theres not much that can save the meal.

The food was an easy 11/10 and the service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We all had a gyro and either got chicken or lamb. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but we had no trouble getting a table for 5. Great ambiance, music was a vibe, and definitely worth the drive. Staff even brought us crème puffs on the house !

Small Greek place in Gastown! I got the chicken platter ($18) and it was pretty big. The pita was a bit stale, and the chicken was also dry. the fries were really warm, fresh and crispy though. this dish also came with tzatziki sauce and a small salad, both were decent. bonus points for the free dessert - i think they were cream puffs? but it was a nice gesture. for the price as well it was pretty big and i was super full after.

We stumbled upon this place with a long and knew we had to join! It was cold so I didn't want to sit outside so that made the wait a bit longer. I got the chicken shawarma and it was hands down the best shawarma I've ever had! The chicken was so juicy and the fresh veggies of tomato and red onion added a much needed clean taste. The sauce they put in the wrap was super creamy and really meshed the entire wrap together. The only grip is that if you sit inside, you'll end up smelling like cooking oils so choose your clothing wisely! I highly recommend this place whenever in Gastown!

The food and service was excellent at this location. The staff were welcoming and took extra measures to make us feel comfortable. There was also good music playing in the background. The lamb was very well cooked and loved the hint of spice in the tzatziki sauce. I was thinking about my food for the next few days. I can't wait to come back!

Went to skewers today and portions were a great size! Our server recommended the mixed grill platter and the food was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious ! We got a little bit of everything - pita, tzatziki, chicken, lamb, pork skewers , french fries, Greek salad, side green salad with yummy dressing. The server was super attentive and friendly Can't wait to come back ! Maybe even tomorrow !

Came by for lunch a few days ago before a Whitecaps game with a friend. Skewers is in Gastown on a quiet street. You're best served to take transit here as parking is very difficult. The restaurant has a very small footprint - normally places of this size only have take out or a few window seats. Here they've jammed in a few tables and chairs - it's fairly tight but comfortable and they can only seat perhaps fifteen at the very most. Essentially this is an upscale shawarma joint. We both had the chicken wraps which at $15 is comparable to Superbaba, one of my favourites. The wraps are definitely on the larger size and more than enough for lunch. My usual place downtown has slightly smaller wraps albeit for half the price. Skewers' wraps are chock-full with fries, the protein of your choice, onion, tomato, yogurt. It was tasty, but perhaps not my favourite or the most flavourful. I suppose my expectations were high considering the price point. Service was prompt and they did provide a complimentary small dessert which was appreciated. Overall though I was not wowed and for the price point will probably not return.

Super tasty Greek place in Gastown. Hole in the wall. Parking here sucks. Best to take transit. The place is pretty tiny. I don't think the place even 20 seats. Tables are pretty bunched up. The place is probably better for takeout. Staff are friendly and professional. The food here is definitely more than the competition, but it is probably some of the tastiest Greek food I've had around here. How do I count the ways? Pita - they grill it here. Nice and hot and crisp. None of that cold floppy supermarket stuff. Fries - crispy and tasty. Reminds me of Harvey's and Costco style. Not sure how authentic these are, but honestly who cares. Tzatziki - they don't skimp out. There's a nice big pile of it. Lamb souvlaki - very large chunks of meat. But yes, one does pay a few bucks more for it. The same tasty food can be served in gyro (wrap) form as well for a few bucks less. Saw some other people order it and it also looked super tasty. Definitely worth a visit if one is in the area. Highly recommended.

Lots of food you're not going home hungry. We got the platter ! Everything was super fresh and tender. Nice outdoor area none of the homeless Sud /street people bothered us. Felt like home. Big city problems. The Gaston area is fun and the shops near by make this place excellent to get a bite.

Stopped by for a quick gyro and it satisfied my hunger. Staff and cook were friendly, washroom was clean and the food was delicious. This place is a bit small, but they have an outdoor dining area too.

Last month was my first time at this restaurant, and it's definitely going to become my go-to spot The food was excellent! The chicken and beef were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and juicy. Highly recommend

Delicious, authentic Greek food. Better than we had in Greece! Would definitely recommend. I had the chicken platter and loved the variety of fresh food I received. My friends ordered some pitas and fries and thought they were also very good. The server brought out to us after dinner two small, flan-like desserts for free for us to share. They were also very tasty. So nice of the server! Nice place for conversation outdoors during dinner, as they were just far enough away from the loud music at another restaurant just around the corner. Go here for something delicious and more different than your usual dinner options.

Probably one of the best meals I've had in Vancouver. The space is small theres only a few tables inside and a couple of outdoor tables. When we were eating, plenty of doordash and uber eats deliveries were getting picked up. The lamb was so tender and flavorful. The tzatziki was miraculously fluffy and wonderfully paired with the plate. The 2 person plate filled me and my partner up.

I am a food snob and can always find something wrong with food BUT I CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS ONE I would eat here all the time if I could

we decided to finally check this place out on a saturday around 4:30 pm. despite only one person being in front of us, the outdoor seating was already full. inside, there were a few open spots, but it was quite stifling due to the warm weather and the heat coming from the kitchen. the server must have noticed our hesitation because, to our surprise, he quickly set up a bistro table for us outside. it felt like we lucked out, especially since their happy hour, one of the more generous ones i've come across, runs from wednesday to saturday, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. we were more than happy to take advantage of it. we decided to go with the chicken and lamb skewer platter for two. the fries that came with the platter were a standout, perfectly seasoned and incredibly crispy, just the way i like them. the chicken and lamb skewers were packed with flavour, though i have to admit, they were a bit overcooked, which left them a little drier than i would have preferred. the leafy salad was a nice touch, fresh and lightly tossed with salt, lemon and olive oil, offering a refreshing contrast to the meat heavy dish. the pita and tzatziki were equally enjoyable. the pita was warm and soft, making it perfect for dipping into the creamy tzatziki. the platter for two seemed rather small for two people. as we sat there, we found ourselves entertained by the little scenes playing out around us. there was a constant stream of out of town cars trying to navigate the alley, a lineup forming at stussy, and even a couple of birds fighting over a french fry on the ground. the cobblestone street, which was closed off to traffic, added a certain charm to the experience, and the overhanging baskets of flowers reminded me of victoria. for a moment, it felt like we were tourists in our own city, soaking in the atmosphere. just as we were about to wrap up our meal, the server surprised us with four profiteroles filled with cream, swimming in chocolate syrup and topped with whipped cream. it was such a sweet and thoughtful way to end the meal, leaving us with a positive last impression. all in all, it was a really pleasant way to spend a saturday afternoon. the combination of good food, friendly service, and the simple joy of people watching made for a memorable outing. we left feeling content, already thinking about when we might return to enjoy another relaxing afternoon at this spot.

Came by as we were visiting Vancouver. This place was recommended by a friend. It's located in Gastown. We came when they had happy hour during a Thursday. We had the chicken souvlaki with salad. The chicken was sooo flavourful, salad was so nourishing and tasty. We loved it here! Probably one of the best meals we've had in Vancouver! Definitely recommend :)

We shared the mixed grill plate and everything on the plate was delicious. The service was amazing our waiter was super friendly. And we ate outside enjoying the sites and people in Gastown.

The perfect spot to get your greek/Mediterranean fix in gastown, located on Powell street. We ordered the halloumi cheese wrap and the chicken plate with fries which were both very good. If there were more fresh components, the meal would have been perfect as it is a bit greasy. They have happy hour between 2-6pm so we got the chicken plate with fries for $15. It's a small restaurant with some patio seating outside. The service was quick and good just like the food.

My friend suggested this place after having tried it once and it lived up to the hype. They had a few tables outside and inside, but overall the place isn't that large. Luckily it wasn't too busy when we grabbed a table. For the three of us, we shared a platter for two and added on a Greek salad. We got it with 1 chicken and 1 lamb skewer. The skewers were large and tasty. Both meats were very tender. The green salad and Greek salad added a refreshing element and wasn't overly dressed. The fries were crispy and the pita was also delicious. Overall, it was a delicious platter. The portions and pricing was very reasonable. They also offered a free dessert. It was a vanilla custard with caramel sauce. Service was quick and friendly. I'd happily return again!

This place used to be amazing, our go to spot when we are in Vancouver for date night, but since the owners changed it's not the same. Pork wasn't as delicious, no parsley and the spices were different. It was also a little dry. The pitas are different and not as good, Greek salad is no longer included in the platters and cheese etc is extra. Prices also have gone up. Still not bad food but just not as amazing. Probably will be looking for our next go to date night spot.

Wow. This place is sooo good! I was traveling with my sister, who just came back from Greece and she said it tasted EXACTLY like the food she ate there. So authentic and yummy. We talked to the owner, Nick, who said he moved here from Greece 9 years ago. So that explains the yummy food. We had the chicken skewer and it was outstanding. We went back the next night because it was so good and I had a wrap and my sister had the lamb skewers. Equally delicious. We had a custard dessert the first night and it was to die for! The second night we had the desserts that were little rolled up pastries with whipped cream, and that was good too. The staff are all super friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend it.

An abundance of fresh fillings and well seasoned meat (pork). We would add more tzatziki, but that's our only note. Definitely worth visiting. Possibly the best souvlaki pita in Vancouver at the moment.

Wonderful staff and great food. The restaurant is small so expect to wait. Especially during busy times. But the food is really good and everything is fresh! We had the Greek salad which was filled with chunks of cucumber, tomato, olives, and green peppers. Two of us had chicken platters, single skewer. One person had the chicken and lamb platter and two had the lamb gyro wrap. Everything was excellent from the soft pita breads to the crisp french fries season just perfectly and all the meats were cooked scrumptious. I would definitely recommend the platter, as it came with a nice side of greens, french fries, and tzatziki sauce. The gyro does have french fries inside of it just like in Greece. If you have room for dessert, the flan and profiteroles were very nice. Wonderful staff will take care of you. Sorry we were so hungry after a day of sightseeing that we didn't take any pictures. Great location in Gastown.

If you are looking for a fast Mediterranean food place you found it. It is not amazing but not bad, fries are very good and has inside and outside seating. Service is pretty fast, also the outside seating is nice and not too loud.

Line was long but food was quickly served, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. We were so hungry we only took one dark photo (oops) but we ordered a set of two chicken skewers and the chicken wrap. The server was so kind and quick. Highly recommend!

We don't head to Gastown much anymore but finally were in the area to try Skewers Souvlaki Pita Bar. Its run by the nicest husband and wife combo, close to Robba da Matti. We dropped in on a busy Sunday evening (around 6:15pm). The inside is cramped with 5 "tables" and a couple of bar seats (fits about 20 people total). Service was sweet and friendly. Beware, you'll smell like meat after your meal. The menu is small with souvlaki wraps, platters, salads and desserts. - Mixed grill platter ($28.00) - all the meats were tender and well seasoned. Super impressed that they were all good. Fries were solid. Nice chunk of feta over the salad. The tzatziki was delicious, loved the garlic. - Lamb souvlaki wrap ($15.00 for 5oz) - you get about four good chunks of lamb. Pita is warm and pillowy. A simple, well executed wrap. - Crem karamelle - they brought us both desserts to try, on the house. Not too sweet. Flan was soft and smooth. - Mosaic - similar to an unsweetened brownie. SSPB is a gem. Give them a try.

True Greek experience with a SKEWER's Platter The mixed grill which included 1 lamb skewer, 1 chicken skewer and shredded pork gyros was flavourful and so tender served with a side of the crispiest fries, tzatziki sauce, fresh pita bread and Greek salad.

PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH! I don't know what else to say, this place phenomenal! It is pretty small and can be a bit crowded and tight. Parking is also tricky and you should be prepared for a longgg wait. Will these things stop me from coming back? Nope! I will come here any chance I get while visiting Vancouver. Five stars all the way!

Amazing food here. We are visiting from Los Angeles and wanted a relatively casual bite. We got the chicken gyro and lamb skewer and it was delicious. Great service as well!!

The best place in vancouver to get any type of skewer. All the food is made fresh and tastes delicious, the only issue with this location is the seating, which is first come first serve. I got the chicken platter and the portions were massive, this place is totally worth it if you're into greek food. The service was also awesome, with the manager of the restaurant being very respectful and kind.

Went to Skewers for takeout and was very satisfied by the portion and quality of food for the price. The restaurant itself is small but the energy of the staff is great.

Recently discover Skewer Souvlaki Bar tucked in the heart of Gastown and word has it that their platters are very generous! We validated this over the weekend and it most definitely is true with the mixed platter we tried! The platter included plenty of tender and flavourful meat (pork gyro, 1 chicken souvlaki and 1 lamb souvlaki) that can fill two! It also includes a generous portion of fries, pita bread, Greek salad, and greens. Everything was all presented beautifully in a wooden platter and what a meal it was for $26!! For desserts we got to try their flan that were compliments of the restaurant. It was creamy and rich and just as delicious as the meal we started!

Excellent Souvlaki platters! Great in Gastown. Everything is very tasty and reasonably priced.

The food was delicious and the people here are so lovely! I had the lamb wrap and I love that they put the fries inside, very authentic

I love a place that feels like you have stepped into a family home. Not that the decor feels like a house...no, it's the feeling of being hosted. That a family is taking care of you. That's exactly what it was like at Skewers. It was super busy when my son and I arrived after a basketball game...he was starving! I am so glad we waited! The mixed grill platter was PERFECT. The perfect share item and we were both stuffed! We will be back. It was a true pleasure.

This. Is. The. Place. Absolutely exceptional skewers and gyros. The feta garlic sauce was epic on a pork gyro, and the lamb skewers were perfectly prepared. We were advised not to try chicken the first time since you can get chicken anywhere, which was great advice. Can't wait to go back and see for myself. Pro tip- there is usually a line so go early if possible.

WOW what a gem! Service, ambience and food made with care. Spotless presentation! Greek Salad

The portion sizes are very generous. Initially I thought I could finish the mixed platter but I was sorely mistaken. I ate about half of it and took the rest home. This restaurant is a little on the smaller size so expect to wait in line if you come in after 6 pm.

very delicious, big amount of food. I only eat a half of this myself. I will come again. 39cad totally.

Absolutely delicious food. We got the mixed platter, a wrap, and a greek salad. Food came very quick, the meats were extremely juicy, and everything was seasoned well. Employees are super nice and quick to service. Would recommend 10/10.

I was a grumpy cat for being forced out on a Saturday night, but this place made up for it Price: this is pricier than your average donair shop, but that's because this isn't your average donair shop. The mains run into the $20s but the servings are huge. Three of us shared a platter and extra skewers and there were still leftovers, so I would say this is good value (but don't be expecting $10 a plate kinda thing) Variety: just a page of food so makes decision making easy. Meat on a plate or meat on bread. Choose. Food: amazing!! mixed grill: has lamb and chicken skewers, and shredded pork. All the meats were well cooked and seasoned. The fries were so crispy and delicious. The sauces that came with it were tasty. Chicken skewers: so good we ordered extra Bonus - we were given complimentary cream puffs for dessert. I thought I'd get this one to myself but my dessert hating friends loved them as well so I wasn't that lucky. Service: a category I don't usually include but I have to say these two are AMAZING. We walked in close to closing and we were not rushed out at all. The owners are so friendly and helpful and welcoming, it's like eating at a friends house. Rating: YYYOOOOMMMMMMMM!!! 100% would come back. Best tasting food I've had in a while.

Pork Gyro. Really good! Amazing friendly service, unreal price, and quick too. All around a really greak experience.

The wait was long but worth it! The tzatziki on my lamb gyro was incredible. The lamb was tender and juicy and there were lots of red onions - yum!!! The staff was friendly and thoughtful even though they were slammed. Very good food! It at be less busy during certain days/times, but it was packed out on the Friday night we went. Ended up getting takeout out, but it was still great!

I love this place so much, but they keep on turning off their delivery service on Uber Eats. The food is delicious but it would be better if I could get it delivered.

Drove by and saw a huge line on a Saturday night, so made our way back just before closing. Ordered 2 wraps. The owners were so lovely and welcoming. The food was so YUM. Looked amazing, tasted even better. So fresh. Perfectly cooked meat. Will be back!

Oh, what a delightful experience! The food was fine, but the highlight was the lovely waitress in the pink flowered attire serving the outdoor tables. She gave me these endearing eye rolls because I dared to bring an ice cream in a cup from another store. Perhaps she thought it was a new accessory trend? I must've missed the memo. She could have sweetly mentioned that outside food wasn't welcomed, but instead chose to serenade us with her best sarcastic tone. I remembered when we were guided by her to the table, we still hold our ice cream, why she didn't tell us we were not allowed to bring it on the table? If she said at that time, we would just walked away and finished it. Instead, after sitting there for awhile, she told us, and asked me to stand up to somewhere else to finish that. Awkward!! She served a table sit after us for ordering, gave them greeting. Actually,she gave all the table around us a greeting and checked on them, but say nothing to us. Finally she came to our table, we ordered food. After a long waiting time, my friend finally had her food coming, however with no utensils at all. We just used our hand to eat things, finally she gave us our forks, what a lovely girl!!!! After I asked for checked out, I felt like I don't wanna give her any tips, however, as a former waitress, I still feel uncomfortable to no tip. I gave her 15% tips. Meanwhile, she used her side eye to look at the machine on my hand to see how much percentage I gave her~ Interesting, what did she expected? I felt so special, almost as if my ice cream had VIP status. It's quite the contrast from my days as a server where we were taught to politely ask customers not to bring outside food. Such a novel approach here!

This place is a hidden gem. My wife and I have been to Greece several times and have never experienced gyros/souvlaki the way they do it there. We would get Gyros everyday in Oia/Santorini and for years have not been able to find anywhere that comes close. This is the only place we've found that outright nails it. It was remarkable as enjoying a meal here took us back to one of our favorite destinations in the world. Enjoy this wonderful restaurant!

Wow what a grat place. Food is spectacular, portions are a good size and not overpriced. Worth a walk to other end of GasTown.
