Maria's fails to Deliver!

Marias has a wonderful facility, typically decorated in the greek style with wonderful atmosphere. Unfortunately, neither the food nor the service live up to this setting or atmosphere! If you go to either of the two restaurant locations--West 4th or Denman Street in Vancouver, you will the find the service obtuse and disinterested. The food often takes forever to get to your table, even if the restaurant is not particular busy. Explanations or apologies or acknowledgement of the delay is hard to come by, and one gets the feeling nobody cares if you come back or not, because apparently, there are plenty more customers like you out there that will show up for one meal before deciding to take their money elsewhere! If you order take out or delivery, you will be given a standard time estimate that bears no resemblance to reality, and you will be given an equally stock set of excuses when your food does not materialize in any reasonable time frame! If you wish to avoid russian roulette with your restaurant or delivery experience, avoid patronizing this business!

Maria’s Taverna is the most classic version of Greek eateries we have come to expect in Vancouver—the menu features the usual superfluous baked pasta and pizza options (ah, the Greek classics), the red wine is always served way too warm, and everybody seems to be enjoying themselves, regardless. Basics such as chicken souvlaki ($15.95) and saganaki ($7.95) are better than the competition and... more

Authentic Greek Fare
Both of Maria's locations manage to deliver an authentic Mediterranean look and feel without being cliché. There are, of course, the mandatory splashes of blue and white painted trim, mimicking the colours of the Greek flag, and pretty pictures of Santorini. It is a Greek restaurant in Vancouver after all. The Kitsilano location has been around since the late 1980’s, and... more

Had a delicious meal while visiting Vancouver.  A friend and I had the tamara and hummus as appetizers.  The warm flat bread was great.  It was my first experience to try tamara, which is a very smooth spread to be eaten with the flat bread.  For entrees, we chose lamb souvlaki and mousaka.  The portions are substantial and the sides were really good.  Although the lamb was good, I'd say the... more

Blegh.My boyfriend and I went here one night after work.  We'd heard high praises of Maria's Taverna and wanted to give it a try.  We ordered our 'usual' that we get at most Greek restaurants - kalamari, lamb souvlaki, saganaki, tarama, and greek salad.The kalamari was tough (resulting in a rubbery texture) and entirely underseasoned.  The rice pilaf that came with it tasted like it came out of... more

My dining partner only stopped saying, "Mmmmmmmmm" to put more food in her mouth. Definitely recommend the souvlaki/tzatziki/hummus...soooo good.

Hummus, kalamari, and moussaka? It’s all Greek at Maria’s.

Hummus, lamb shoulder, moussaka and chicken souvlaki are all favourites in this cozy, family-owned restaurant, warmly decorated in blue and white. $. L (M-Sa), D (daily).
