Dorian Greek House

Been eating Jimmy’s cooking for 25 years ! Anyways, very, very good service, very, very big portions, and very, very good food. We shared the appy platter. My Dad had the Lamb. We had 2 half litres of wine, and a side salad, all for under $ 100.
We like the location. We like the atmosphere. We like all the plants.
I also notice, that all the servers that were not busy with customers were busy cleaning and wiping things down ! (very important) .
There are only 2 greek restaurants in Kamloops, and in my opinion this is the better of the 2.

Coming from out of town, we wandered around downtown Kamloops looking for places to eat. The reviews for this place seem well founded, but I made a critical error. I took the ‘italian’ food part of their sign literally. Rule #1 don’t go to a Greek restaurant and expect good Italian food. I ordered basically like spaghetti with meat sauce. What I got was a mushy bowl of noodles COVERED with cheese — like a lasagana. It was gross. I scraped off the cheese, and tried to eat the pasta underneath. It tasted like some very weird spice, which I have no idea what it is, but it tasted like dish soap. I saw alot of people eating Souvlaki, which is what I should have ordered. I don’t want to totally condemn the place based on one experience, but if you go here — DO NOTORDER THE ITALIAN FOOD. The atmophere, service etc was all good.

Good options available, quality toppings and good tasting food. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get a delicious schawarma.

Usually you are forced to choose between portion size and flavor, but that’s not the case here. You might give the prices a second glance, but having seen my entrée and what the folks around me were eating, this is one spot where you actually get what you pay for. I find myself eating one of three things at most Greek spots: Souvlaki, Moussaka, or a Gyro. On this occasion, I went with the Chicken Souvlaki. I can’t say why, it just sounded good.
I guess my gut knew what it was doing, as the chicken was moist, well-​seasoned, and ready to mingle with the other flavors on the plate. Some things reminded me of my trip to Greece: the pita was well-​seasoned and fluffy, the tzatziki was tangy and rich, and the Greek salad was absolutely drowning in Feta. I don’t remember eating a lot of rice or potatoes while I was in Greece, but that didn’t stop them being tasty while I was in Kamloops.
My waitress was doing battle with a 12-​top but still kept me well taken care of. Thanks for a delicious meal.

BEST GREEK FOOD IN THE PROVINCE!!. Any time I go to Kamloops I absolutely must stop at Dorian to eat. Ive tried most of the menu items and NONE of them have disappointed me the food is super delicious and priced extremely well! I’ve been to many other Greek restaurants down at the coast and island and NONE compared to Dorian. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!

I love this spot specifically staying across the street so it was easy to dine here. I enjoy all kinds of items and wish there were individual size combo plates. This not being the case, I order the Dorian platter to share. There is enough for four so usually half remains. Being from out of town, what to do with the leftovers? It’s boxed then given to the homeless on our way back to the hotel.
The restaurant is Greek, of course, and so the décor follows suit. The surroundings are cozy. Service is very good. The food, bountiful, tasty, and well prepared. Prices are reasonable for the portion size. I do enjoy dining here and look forward to another visit.

One of the better Greek places that I have been to. The have an outdoor patio and deck for summer. Spotty service here and better service would improve the rating.

the wait for food took very long. However, the atmosphere and service made up for it. The inside was beautiful and greek-​themed. Thee food portions were HUGE! My friends and i could not finish our food. It was delicious nonetheless.

Service friendly but very slow. 50 min plus to get food. Not a place to go after a long drive with kids who are hungry.

I am completing my review a bit later than usual. I was coming in from Vancouver and needed something to eat. Based on fellow Unilocaler’s reviews I decided to give this Greek restaurant a try.
Background: I lived in Vancouver almost all my life. I have travelled from Richmond to Port Coquitlam to try different Greek restaurants.
Service: Before I even get to the door, I was greet by a young man to seat me. I went there during the summer time so I asked for the patio upstairs. I was lead to a table in the patio.
Atmosphere: High ceilings and really reminds me of the Greek restaurants in GVRD. No live music. The patio is covered and nice, but because the trees are right in front of me, I was not able to see anything beyond the leaves.
Taste: I ordered the roast lamb ($ 26). The lamb is moist and juicy. The sauce and seasoning is just right. The potatoes are a bit dry. The pita bread was served fresh and warm.
Portion: Average portions compared to the Greek restaurants.
Price: $ 26 for a lamb dinner is quite expensive compared to the Greek restaurants back in GVRD.
Overall: I may come back again if I have a bad craving for Greek, but otherwise I may stay away to keep my money in my pocket.

A good Greek restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere. The chicken souvlaki is also excellent choice if you are looking for a decent size meal but nothing too big.

Great service, tasty food and HUGE portions. We had the New York steak and the Greek ribs. Only regret is we could have ordered 1 dinner to split! Prices were reasonable also.

We came here from just walking around Victoria and it was the best choice we made all day. The food was amazing, service was great and the portions were HUGE. Love this place and would definitely come back again when we’re in town.

Awesome food, enormous portions! The moussaka is delicious, best I’ve had yet! Prices are good for the amount of food you get!

Overall great value for the price you pay. It is a little on the expensive side, but for two good reasons: delicious, hearty Greek food, AND lot’s of it. If you think the lunch portions are huge, get a load of the dinner portions. They’re really like a 2-​in-​1 meal with the amount of food you get, and GOOD food for that matter.
Both times that I’ve visited, I haven’t been let down. Service was speedy, though a little unenthusiastic. A fantastic Greek atmosphere, with photos of Greece, plants, tiled walls, fake marble pillar decorations, and a lovely Greek melody in the speakers. Definitely recommended for hosting large families, or even seating romantic duos by the window.
Ignore other reviewers who nay-​say the Dorian Greek House. Take it from me: this place is SCRUMPTIOUS.
