The Roast Lamb, for only 12 dollars, is incredibly tasty and delicious. The affordable prices and familiar ambience (although the music is terrible) made us come back many times for lunch or summertime dinner.

Reading the other reviews - many outdated, from 4 or 5 years ago - I disagree with the negative ones, finding the overall service great, the owner seems to be a very dedicated man, friendly and aware, trying hard to achieve his customer's satisfaction.

Also, I'm surprised - first time ever in Canada I could have a beer for 2.50 in a restaurant.

Bottomline: the roast lamb itself is a reason to go and come back many times. If I lived in Vancouver I'd become a regular.

I adore the Adonis Restaurant, and often dine in this fine establishment for lunch or dinner whenever I’m in Vancouver and fancy good Greek food. The location at the downtown end of the Granville Street bridge is convenient and parking is no problem. Step inside and you are welcomed into the warm, romantic ambience of a colourful Mediterranean taverna, the lilt of bouzukis playing softly in the background. With seating for about 40, the setting is intimate and informal, and the service is friendly and attentive. I like to start with a delectable plate of calamari or freshly baked pita bread with hummous, or the puffy spanikopita. For the main course, the tender roast lamb with lemony potatoes and Greek salad is hard to beat, or maybe tender chicken or beef kabobs over rice, but there are so many other tantalizing choices on the menu. A glass or two of a burgundy or merlot seems to keep good company with the delicious food. I’m usually too full for dessert, but the Baklava is usually too good to resist. A shot of ouzo and a coffee usually completes the meal. Sometimes Abbas, the restaurant’s charming owner and chef, will stop by my table to chat and make sure everything is all right, which it always is. The prices are surpisingly reasonable given the quality of the food. Efharisto!

The lemon and chicken soup (don't remember the Greek name) was delicious and perfect for my cold. I ate the soup before the Bob Dylan concert, and didn't cough or sneeze once. Great food for the price. My husband was in Vancouver for a convention, and ate here two nights in a row, enjoyed it.

We have been going to this restaurant since it opened for both the mussels and the value of a shared meal . the mussels are done in a spicy wine sauce and if you like a little spice you can not resist picking up the spoon enjoying the broth with pita .The mussels , a large lamb souvlaki meal with a 1/2 liter of wine for less than $40.00 is a true bargain ,. Combine this with a friendly attentive service and a casual atmosphere and it always enjoyable .

Went here with a few friends and at first I didn't expect much because I've never heard of this place. Prices were very reasonable and the food was tasty. I ordered the roast lamb and it was superb. Also tried the calamari and found it to be done just right. My friend said this place usually isn't busy and I wonder why. Could be the location - on the edge of downtown just before the Granville bridge - and right across from the Cecil. Our waitress was very attentive and seemed to time everything just right. I'll have to go back another day and try other items on the menu. All I can say now is that the roast lamb was delicious!

I tried this restaurant a few times and will never go there again. On my first takeout order they forgot the tzatziki, which I didn't realize until I got home. I went all the way back, was charged for it...okay, fine. The next time I called and ordered the spanokapita dinner, was given the appetizer instead. When I called the restaurant to complain the server argued with me "No, you ordered the spanokipita appetizer". When I finally asked to speak to the manager, he said "He's not here," which soon turned into "I'm his son, so I deal with things when he's not here." No offer to make things right, no apology...I won't be returning, especially since the food has been just so-so.

Went to Adonis last night with some family visiting the area, and oh what a crappy experience. When we got there, we were seated quite quickly, as we'd phoned ahead to reserve a table for the seven of us. But once we got there, we were ignored by the wait staff, and honestly, our server was incredibly nonchalant and rude.

My one cousin is lactose intolerant and has celiac disease (essentially can't eat any grain/wheat products containing gluten) so we expected the menu choices to be limited, but we chose Greek because she can eat potatoes and rice and meat. However, our waitress rather rudely told us that "everything has wheat". She told us anything containing any spices had wheat in it (even claimed BBQ sauce was a no-go) and so she ended up eating plain, grilled chicken with cucumber pieces. When my uncle asked if there was any place nearby he could get some steamed rice, the waiter told him that she never comes out here except for work, so how should she know, and walked away.

When our appetizers came, we weren’t given any plates to eat off of, and when we tried to get our waitress's attention, she ignored us - we ended up having to get another waitress to help us after about ten minutes of waiting. When our entrees came, my Uncle's baked dish was cold, and he had to send it back, my brother's Moussaka was barely warm, my prawns were literally swimming in oil, and my side dishes (rice and lemon potato) were cold. Definitely not good - lower quality than the Greek food we've made ourselves at home.

The restaurant itself was fairly quaint, but the layout was way too busy and crowded - tables shoved very close together and barely any walkway space. Not a bad restaurant, but the food quality and the level of service overrode any positives in ambiance or character of the restaurant itself.

I would definitely NOT go back to this restaurant, and warn anyone else that the food and service were absolutely atrocious.
