I had an incredible dining experience at Olove Greek Kitchen! The highlight for me was their amazing selection of dips. We tried the trio of eggplant, fish roe, and fig dips. Each one was bursting with flavor and paired perfectly with their fresh bread. The fish roe was my favourite because it was strong pungent with a subtle sweetness The fried shrimp wrap in filo was absolutely divine, hitting the spot with its crispy, savory goodness. I also loved the marinated olives and the fresh, flavorful vegetables that came with the dishes. Everything tasted so vibrant and well prepared. The lamb shoulder required a bit of patience, but it was well worth the wait, tender, juicy, and full of rich flavors. As for the chicken wrap, it was so delicious that I’m craving another one just writing about it now!

Really delicious Greek food! I’ve always walked by this place in North Burnaby and we decided to finally give it a try for dinner! We ordered a variety of dishes, the trio of hummus and dips, lamb chops, chicken and the moussaka. The dishes were superb! They all had really good flavours and tasted fresh and yummy! The moussaka was great, it’s very heavy and umami like tasting, and had great filling! The eggplant was super soft, sweet and cooked very well. The lamb chops were nicely marinated same with the half chicken too. The best part was the calamari and the trio of dips. The calamari was nice and crunchy and wasn’t overly oily at all. Further, the fish roe and hummus were so good. Highly recommend getting it with extra pita! Really thoroughly enjoyed this place, very good tasting Greek food. Definitely will come back. Friendly waitress too!

We went for a date on valentines, restaurant was busy as always. Best dining experience, the food and the flavours were absolutely amazing!! I usually don’t have coffee after 5pm but the fragrance of the coffee beans was so tempting, I had to order! For vegetarian- the Falafel Souvas was delicious. Quite sufficient for one person. The best part was their ice cream desert!

One of our best dining experiences ever. I'm grouchy because it took us 7 years to find it. We're tired of expensive salty chain restaurants. This is family owned and very authentic. The lamb shoulder and saganaki were exquisite. The servers were attentive and efficient. The 40 seats filled up quickly so make a reservation. Every group that came in were welcomed with joy and it truly felt like a family experience! Paula served us and she was funny and suggested menu options.. The prices were fair and chef created! We're going back very soon. Thanks for the Sambucca and Ouzo Irene & Nico!

This is such a hidden gem! I’ve been trying different Greek restaurants in my area lately as I’m yet to find a favourite since moving to Burnaby, and I was so impressed! The food is AMAZING! The location is small and has a very cozy vibe, the staff and owner are extremely polite, personable and friendly and made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I stopped by yesterday and there happened to be a power outage affecting the whole street that I wasn’t aware of. The owner still greeted us and explained the situation. I found it very admirable that he was present and speaking to customers, as every other business nearby was completely empty! I will be back soon for another lovely dinner :)

Excellent authentic Greek experience and menu with a slight twist on modern Greek! The food was delicious and fresh and flavourful. The bar selection was perfect fit with their menu!! We will definitely go back soon! The Hellenic Slaw salad was so refreshing and perfect on a hot summer day. Bravo Irene and Nick!

Olove Greek Kitchen is a great place for dinner. Everything we ate was delicious. I especially liked the appetizers, and a big plus was that they had Turkish Raki, which I really missed having with appetizers. The owner and staff were friendly and welcoming. I will definitely go there more often.
