I have been there a while back and my group consisted of 4 people. I remember we had a lot of food and drinks and started a draft in Yelp but never finished it. That night involved tzatziki, souvlaki, calamari and bikini. I mean, no bikini. Just great food. Geez. 1 chicken souvlaki, 2 prawn souvlaki and 1 calamari.
Service was a little slow on the drinks but overall good.
I'd love to do a better review so next time I go I will try not to indulge myself in double margaritas. Or maybe just take some notes :) -

By far the best place in Whistler to get a Martini after an amazing Greek dinner. Amazing atmosphere, great service and beautiful restaurant. A top choice for entertaining

The lamb and duck were good, but the lobster bisque soup and the goat cheese salad were mediocre. The service was a bit slow. The price is a bit high and the quality is much better at Quattro.

Though I ordered to go, I couldn't help but notice the very lively interior on a Friday night. The place was filled with happy Whistler fellas; British/Aussie accents could be heard at the bar part and a couple of individuals came in to greet/hug the owner before settling into their tables. Clearly a spot with regulars It was like entering a Greek tavern where everybody's drunk, full and happy. Live music was a nice touch but I was in no mood to sit in a dark location when we've been deprived of so much sun this summer, so take out it was. (Note: They do have a patio but there were much better patio options elsewhere.) The friendly and efficient bartender lady offered water as we waited.
I ordered the lamb a la cypriota that everyone here was raving about and found it to be standard Greek fare, no wow factor there. In fact, I've had better Greek to-go here in Coquitam and back in Victoria. Based solely on food, I'd say 2-2.5 stars but I'm guessing many people factored the ambience here. -

Order the lamb a la cypriota.
If you have never tried lamb order the lamb a la cypriota.
If you hate lamb order the lamb a la cypriota.
If you are a vegetarian order the lamb a la cypriota.
We had the chefs menu $35. for soup, salad and main course. We both had the lamb. Did I mention it was amazing. Succulent with just enough flavor from salt & pepper. No knife needed, it falls off the bone.
The other dishes were very nice. Effort when into their presentation, but the lamb is to die for. Service is excellent. Prices are on par with Whistler. Go there, order the lamb, enjoy. Oh and the wine selection is excellent - someone actually put effort into it rather than just listing the standard fare. -

The atmosphere and the service were nice, the entertainment was ok, but the food was not. I had shrimp & scallops - overcooked & greasy. It came with vegetables & paella - overcooked & greasy. The moussaka was also underwhelming. The tarama was bland - how do you do that? The homous was good. I can't believe this place survives in Whistler, especially at the prices they're charging.
After reading the other reviews, I guess order the lamb or don't go. -

Go for the lamb a la cypriota it is amazingly delicious! I am not a huge fan of lamb, but this one is a must try. Calamari as well=deliciousness! And again, I am not that crazy for calamari either. Halibut was also amazing!
It is a bit difficult to find the place, but stop and ask someone, it is well worth the search!
You gotta go there -

Very good food, some dishes are better than others. Best if you try it a couple of times. Great hummus. Fabulous lamb, don't miss. Odd dishes like the Russian Salad that strangely work. Super friendly people, altho you usually have to take the first step and talk to them, then they open up. Amy is a great bartender. Lots of local regulars. Interesting late nite conversations at the bar. May not be the best food in Whistler, but it's close, and it's the place I go most often.

The best thing about this place is the atmosphere and the friendly staff - the food was well priced and good, but not great.
It is off the beaten path but still just a short few steps from the main village stroll.
Dark and intimate inside.
Traditional Greek and Mediterranean menu.
We were not in for a big meal so sat in the cozy bar. Very nice bartender who recommended a very nice wine for us.
I had the Greek salad which tasted good and very fresh.
Also had the calamari which was just ok, so I would not recommend ordering that.
The owner made a point of checking on us and then when we were finished and he saw us leaving he came over to say goodbye and thanks. -

My favorite Greek restaurant! The restaurant is cozy and romantic. When we arrived they seated us in the back, corner and literally forgot about us. All the waitresses thought someone else was serving us... after about 30 min of no one approaching our table we got up to leave. The manager realized what happened and yelled at one of the serves to grab us! :) They convinced us to come back and gave us 1 entree for free. The taste of the food was totally worth it as well.
Ordered:
Filo Tower - vegetarian, mashed yam, potatoes, basil, filo dough with tomato basil sauce... absolutely delicious!
Lobster and butternut squash bisque - nice
Zarzuela - delicious
We will definitely come back... but we will make sure we are noticed next time. :) -

Just a couple of steps off the beaten path in Whistler Village, this hideaway has a dark and romantic atmosphere and a traditional Greek menu. My chicken souvlaki was average, and I would have preferred that it come with the usual Greek salad, but it wasn't overpriced and the portions were generous. The real standouts were the wine and our server. We sampled two or three different whites before deciding on one, and they were all excellent. Our server was the best part of the experience. She was helpful, attentive, friendly and professional. I would probably try different restaurants before coming back, but at least I know that I can come here for excellent service.

We dropped in without reservations on a Friday night and were seated quickly near the bar. We got the Hummus/ Pita appetizer. It was quite good (very, very garlicky) I ordered Beef Souvlaki, Mark ordered Lamb Souvlaki. The entrees were accompanied by rice pilaf and an array of roasted veggies. They also gave us some freshly baked bread that was pretty tasty. A little spendy for Greek fare, but all in all good.
A plus was that it's in a great location, just off of the Village stroll. -

This was the best restaurant of Whistler. It is hidden and not enough people talk about this place. We went in the beginning of last week and were so impressed with the food. We could see from our table a white haired gentleman working in the kitchen like a champion and wondered if that was the owner. So at the end of our week we decided to go back to Kypriaki and again the food was amazing. I had the rabbit special and it reminded me of the fresh rabbit I used to eat in France. We also started with their hummus and homemade bread again was excellent.. The white haired gentleman that we saw in the kitchen walked by, and sure enough after talking to him for a few minutes, found out he is the owner and has been cooking since the age of 13. He said he puts all his heart in his dishes and IT SHOWS!!
