Alexandra's Bistro in Nanaimo

Delicious food! The Greek platter for two is our favourite. The staff are exceptional and welcoming, and they make you feel that they truly appreciate their customers.

I had the scampi diavolo, and it may have been the best marinara sauce Ive ever had. The portions are huge and the service is very fast.

I give Alexandria s a 10/10 I always come here knowing I will leave full and the food is always consistently good. I get the salmon Spumante and the staff are super friendly! I always leave with leftovers!

Excellent food, generous portions, and very reasonable prices make this place super attractive. Service is sadly distracted but friendly enough. I was surprised at how soon our food arrived. I will definitely be back. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible if you are able to park in front of the restaurant.

Found this little gem today and had a delightful Greek platter with my husband, everything was so delicious and fresh! We will be back to sample some of your other dishes they also had a very good deal on wine tonight, you don t find as good as a deal anywhere else!

This spot very clean and authentic. If your craving Greek food. This is the spot. Wonderful people!

I visited this restaurant when I went to meet my friend Taran . After that we ate here and order Greek platter for 2 and thats taste great and love the staff they serve very happily.

No prices on their online menu. How am I supposed to know ahead of time what to bring?

Have been going here for years, always excellent service and food.

Ok Ok, Ok - so I gave 5 stars but something has changed there. I took friends for dinner for the second time in 3 weeks.. Made reservations for 5 PM. ordered appetizers and drinks, They arrived at the table by 5:30 PM. We ordered our food which arrived by 5:45 - 6:PM. We had our dinner and then ordered desert which arrived around 6:20. We finishing desert and I paid the bill, At about 15 minutes later we were interrupted by a VERY RUDE WAITRESS asking us to LEAVE because they had BOOKED ANOTHER PARTY AT OUR TABLE! So we had 1 hour and 20 minutes to order eat and get out! The weird thing is the rude waitress was laughing at us? WOW! So If you dont mind being embarrassed spending $250.00 and be told to leave enjoy. After eating there for over a decade ONE BAD WAITRESS RUINED OUR EXPERIENCE SO NOW i TAKE MY MONEY ELSEWHERE AND WIL NEVER EVER EAT THERE AGAIN!

Went here with my partner for dinner. Nice little sitting area for dining in. We got the dinner for two platter, it was amazing, very authentic and more than enough food for both of us. We were checked on regularly, Great service, reasonably priced too. We will definitely be going back.

This is definitely my go to place for Greek food! It is outstanding! Bobby and his staff provide exceptional service! Highly recommend.

I ve been coming here for years, and they re always on the ball! The Greek platter for two is definitely worth it as well, highly recommend to anyone.

The food and the service is always top notch.

We have ordered and picked up many times from Alexandria s, it is always delicious and the staff are friendly and very helpful.

Some things were really great eg. garlic/lemon prawns, souvlaki etc. But the Greek salad was weird - lots of onion, cucumber, a few pieces of tomato and just one black olive, shredded cheese did not taste like feta and no salad dressing on it. Lamb was tasty but dried-out. Very good wait staff

Over priced for the qaulity

The pesto tortellini was delicious

It was our first time visiting Nanaimo and Alexandra s Bistro was highly recommended. We weren t disappointment at all, if anything this bistro and the service made our trip to Nanaimo more enjoyable. We received the best service from the waitress and our food, from appetizer to dessert, was so very delicious. We actually went to the Red Bakery to get a Nanaimo bar, however it was the mango cheesecake from Alexandra s bistro that was the better option. This place is definitely a staple.

Great food. Order platter for 2 x2 and shared with 5 of us. Everyone was happy and full. Even became with dessert to share. Was a bit expensive. Only downside. But what isn t these days. Also they thankfully accommodated our group size when I didn t think to reserve. Parking: Parking out front and some around corner In large lot Kid-friendliness: Kids came and no issues. I saw they hand high chairs as well

Roast lamb was really good, service was fast and friendly. Cool little family run spot. Would come back again for sure when in town

Delicious food and attentive staff.

Great variety on the menu, reasonably priced and delicious food. Service is incomparable. Parking: There are a few spots right by the Northfield entrance, but way more parking in the lot behind the restaurant.

Always wonderful :)) Gave me a peice of cake for my birthday, thats awesome too lol Food

Best calamari ever. Super nice staff and great dishes. I would definitely come back.

One of the best restaurants in Nanaimo, the staff is awesome, the food bon appetite ! We will be back as well as repeat offenders !!

Delicious food! Finally someone who knows how to make proper greek salad. Lamb skewer so tender and juicy. They also gave us complimentary cheese cake--how sweet!

10/10 fried calamari! Really delicious meatball tomato sauce too. We ordered the lamb souvlaki to share and it was a great portion size and perfectly cooked. Plus the prices were also very reasonable! And dont get me started on the service, everyone we interacted with was very friendly and informative. The owner even came out to say hi and brought us a free cheesecake because they said they celebrated first timers! What a delightful experience we had. It made waiting for our ferry a breeze!

Best food in town . Baked salmon is the best

Tastes great! Eating something delicious right now

Always excellent food and service. Love that the owner comes around to thank you and ask how everything is.Sadky the female server with dark hair and a stud piercing in upper lip has ruined this for me. Awful attitude, argumentative and condescending over .95. Owner wasnt very supportive either..said oh staff come and go. Ill miss the food but Ill take my hard earned money somewhere where its appreciated.

Best greek food in town

Probably one of the best, if not the best Greek resto in Nanaimo! In all honesty, probably even better than anything Ive had in the Vancouver area, as well. Upon ordering and having our food served to our table, we were a bit disappointed by the appetizing look of the food ..but upon actually trying the food, we are absolutely amazed! Everything was full of flavour, and cooked to perfection - we were not disappointed by anything that we had tried that evening (lamb platter and calamari appy) Would come here again, most definitely, when we are in Nanaimo! Prices are definitely on the higher side though, be warned. Highly recommended though!

An honest confession. We dont go out to eat often. We are fond of dining at home and sharing potlucks twice weekly with our cohousing community. But on special events or when we need a break from home cooking, Alexandros Bistro is always our first choice. For Greek food that is delicious and reasonably priced, there is nowhere in Nanaimo that beats it. For our last visit, we brought along out of town family and they were duly impressed.

I went to Alexandra s bistro a couple nights ago with my friends and it was very good! It was my first time there and I got the Kleftiko with a Greek salad and it was to die for! Super tender and super flavourful! My two friends got the Greek platter for 2 and it was so much food and very good! Great deal! All the staff were amazing and super nice, along with I loved when the owner came out and checked on each table! They also gave us a complimentary slice of chocolate cake since it was our first time there, which was super nice and you don t see that at other restaurants. I will definitely be back!!

i went in this restaurant over 10 years ago by myself one day, and i ordered some food, and i expected almost an hour wait, but instead i waited 45 seconds......

It was a great dining experience. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We are looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu.

Came here with my family, and despite being such a large group, the staff were very accommodating! The food was great, and the calamari was very airy and crispy! Compliments to the chef who even came out to greet us and gave us a cheesecake to go with flowers drawn on it! Very cute place, would definitely come here again!

Ive only ever done takeout but me and my fiancé order here as often as we can. This is our celebration dinner spot and holds a special place in our hearts. My partner and their family used to go here so often and then on our first date we ordered takeout and drove up to the lantzville lookout and watched the sunset. This place has been the center of so many happy memories. Their food is incredible and leaves me dreaming about it for days after. Again Ive only ever done take out but everytime Im there the people that handle it are so sweet and kind. I dont doubt that their sit in service is just as wonderful. Thank you to all the hard workers there. You really make this place something special

Friendly service, chill atmosphere and amazing presentation and taste of food Kid-friendliness: Fancy chocolate milk for the kids. My nephew loved it. Food : 5/5 |

Friendly staff, large portions, clean restaurant. Parking: Parking in the back mall area. Food : 4/5 |

Dinner tonight? the amazing Greek Platter for two! I highly recommend it; the lamb was amazing, perfectly cooked in addition to chicken souvlaki, pita, Calamari, greek salad, Spanakopita, greek lemon potatoes and rice and if thats not enough cheesecake to share follows! This is the best greek restaurant in town. Cant go wrong eating here.

The meal I had was amazing, the staff were kind and the service was great. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for dinner and I am definitely going going back in the near future.

The food here absolutely delicious and the service by Julianna was truly great full.I can t wait to come back again!

Absolutely Fantastic! Huge satisfying portions. Stop reading Reviews place your order. Food : 5/5

Love this little family run restaurant. Service is old school... Ie they care and are very attentive. The owner comes out to say hi. The menu has lots of selection and the food is great.

Amazing food & service! Will definitely be going back again soon

Excellent food, friendly staff. Will be back

Great food! We will definitely be back!

Has fast become out favourite Greek restaurant, outstanding food , and the Chef /owner just came out to meet us ! Fabulous experience

Never fails to deliver a great meal in a relaxing setting at a more than fair price. The owner Bobby always comes out to talk to clients which I ve never experienced, he makes you feel important. Overall best restaurant in Nanaimo if you care about what really matters

I loved the food, portions are big,Lovely service and definitely recommend it

Alexandras is a consistently great restaurant, and I frequent here about once a month. The service is friendly and prompt, prices are very reasonable, and the food is delicious! For the longest time, Id only order pasta at Alexandras... Im one of those people who finds one or two dishes I like and stick to them. However, my girlfriend pushed me out of my comfort zone, and holy smokes, the moussaka is *amazing*! I recommend their pastas, and highly recommend their platter for two, if youre on a date night. Its tons of food, and theres a really nice surprise at the end - trust me, youll love it. The icing on the cake is that every night that Ive been there, the owner walks around and makes sure everyone enjoyed their meal. What a wonderful restaurant. Eat here!

We had a wonderful dining experience this evening. From the minute we walked in we were greeted by Jasmeen and made to feel so welcomed. The experience just got better and better as we had the most tender calamari for an appetizer and chicken souvlaki ( which was also incredibly tender and tasty). My partner had the prawn souvlaki which was also equally as good. The owner and chef came out to chat and to ask us how we liked our meal. The service and food tonight were top notch. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

It was my first time coming to this wonderful restaurant and wow!!! I had the best calamari for a starter followed by prawn souvlaki and my partner having the chicken souvlaki. What a treat to enjoy such a delicious meal. The flavours were absolutely devine. Our dining experience was made even better with our very kind and friendly server Jasmeen. She truly made us feel welcome, so thank you Jasmeen. The owner/chef came out to say hello and we had a nice little chat with him, he was very kind as well. We will definitely come back. See you soon.

First time ever going and from start to finish was exceptional! The owner even came out and greeted us . The food OMG to die for the service incredible our new favourite place by far on this island ! if you ve never been , your missing out . The moussaka ?delish the calamari dinner wow the best ever .! Lots more we want to go back for can t wait

Food was great. Service was excellent. Our server was very kind. The owner even came over and greeted us and thanked us for coming out. That was awesome to see and very rare to see. Thank you for a lovely anniversary dinner :)

So so good. Chicken was perfectly cooked. Flavors on point. Yum!

Excellent food and great service! Great experience. Thank you ( :

I liked my chicken Slovakia dinner. My bites of my daughters spaghetti was great. She enjoyed it. Ty for everything.

We have come here many times and the food is always delicious, the staff friendly . Bobby the cook always comes out to say hello and knows what I like and how I like it cooked .Highly recommended this amazing restaurant, never disappoints , especially if you like curry

Our family of four loves their food! Alexandras has the largest most varied menu - greek, italian and curry... and the portions and taste is amazing. There is something for everyone in the family. Highly recommend. We have been coming here for years and is a birthday favourite or an after work it s Friday let s get takeout. Love love the food and service.

Amazing food best Greek restaurant in town

Delicious food and friendly service.

Best food in town! The butter chicken was the best Ive ever had. Same as the pollo picata! 5**

The finest Greek and Italian cuisine coupled with top-notch service in the area. The staff is friendly, and the owner takes the time to engage with customers personally.

There was so much food in the Greek Platter for Two. It was all delicious

The food here is fresh, delicious & filling. Thank you for your speedy service! I am looking forward to coming back soon.

Very very good cuisine and flawless service, from the apetizers to the dessert everything was excellent, a must try restaurant!!

The cuisine here is exceptional; I had never experienced Italian or Greek flavours before. The service is superb, and the staff are very friendly. What caught my attention was the owner personally visiting each table, something I had never seen before and found mesmerizing. I highly recommend this place.

The best food in town. Staff are always welcoming and prompt- even when they re slammed. The food tastes so fresh and wholesome.

Fantastic service Lovely vibe And the food is top notch I will be back!

Easily the best food in town. Consistent quality every time.

It was our second visit to Alexandra Bistro, we ordered the platter for two again which was just as delicious as the first time. Great variety of food and lots of it! We were so full, we took the included desert home, had it tonight. Delish Friendly staff and the owner came by our table to say hi

Consistently good food, really nice staff and owner who is involved.

Went here during the Maple festival with 2 local friends who recommended. They suggested the dinner platter for 2 easy choice with a little bit of everything! I tried Mousaka for the first time and it was incredible like a Greek lasagna I said, not knowing it was know as that. The owner came by to say good evening and we also enjoyed their amazing dessert. The tasty cheesecake with fruit sauce. It was such a treat to top off a really fabulous tasting meal. Every bite was truly delicious! Don t mess around get the dinner platter for 2!

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner of tasty Greek dishes at this lovely restaurant. Service was spot on and the food is superb. Highly recommend. 5 Stars all the way.

We love Alexandria s ! The food is always SO good, we love to bring guests. The Greek food is legit. We ve been to Greece many times and the chef at Alexandria s definitely has a lot of skill and loves what he does

I picked up dinner for my family and it was so delicious. They waited until I got there, to cook the calamari so it was fresh. Everything was so packed well and so yummy. Highly recommend!!

Ordered a Greek Platter for dinner was amazing, everything from the quality and quantity was good. Really enjoyed the Chicken and Lamb along with the Salad , Potatoes , and Rice . Will definitely be ordering again!

I just had the opportunity of getting take out food from Alexandra s Bistro, And wow I was so impressed by how good their salad was , I will definitely be coming back..highly recommend!!!

I absolutely love this place been here several times it s our go to never disappoints. Ordered their Greek platter for two which leaves us satisfied every time and also had their lamb curry which was pretty tasty not to mention it also came with a complimentary dessert cheesecake which was pretty delicious too .

This is my absolute favorite place to eat! The food and service is always top quality and you can really tell they take so much pride in their work. Best Greek food in town!

Awesome food, awesome service. Awesome cooks awesome. Gentlemen, thats been there for so many years. Great, great service. Dietary restrictions: Noodles

This was one of the best places we ate in Nanaimo and also one of the most affordable. The staff were great and attentive, food was fast, overall amazing place.

Always amazing. Friendly owners and great staff.

Wonderful service, incredible food (chicken souvlaki) and their cheesecake with mango purée is sublime! A perfect birthday dinner!

Amazing staff!! Jasmeen served us and was a very amicable person. Great food too, feels like I was transported to Greece:)

The food was great, and our waitress Jasmeen was wonderful. Her attentive service and warm demeanor added a special touch to the already delightful dining atmosphere.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had an outstanding experience, largely thanks to our wonderful waitress, Jasmeen. Her service was impeccable attentive and friendly. The ambiance was delightful, and the food exceeded expectations. A memorable dining experience that I would highly recommend to others. 10/10 would go again !

The food was so so. Greek salad did not taste like real tomatoes and cucumbers. The 8oz glass of wine turned out to be more like 5oz. And the young servers looked impatient and inexperienced.

Great food and great service, well worth the visit. Well definitely be back!

I havent enjoyed a meal that much in a long time! The saganaki, moussaka, and kleftiko were all delicious.

Great food, service and atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of our dinning experience. I do recommend making a reservation as this is a popular spot. Even with a packed house service was on point and we didnt have to wait long for our appy, mains or drink refills. We will definitely be back!

Large portions and delicious

Great service everytime we go! Wide menu selection and its delicious. The calamari is always light and fresh. Always a go to spot for dinner

Went here last month for the first time. IDK why we waited so long to try it. Food was amazing! Went back for Valentines Day. Sooo good! The staff is very friendly, the chef comes out and talks to the guests. Well be regulars before too long.

Great food and very good value for money!

Love this place! I enjoy it for how small it is (its kinda niche) the food is always amazing and its a great place for dinner with work friends or taking out a special someone.

Ordered take out for the first time, usually it s closed when we re in town during the day. Ordered the dinner platter for two and it was amazing, massive portions and we have leftovers for today. Everything tasted incredible and will definitely be going back Food

Didnt have very high expectations walking in but everything turned out to be amazing! The food took a bit long to arrive but was totally worth the wait, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, interior was really nice and cozy and the music was great! Definetely coming back!

Employees are always helpful and friendly whether youre dining in or picking up. Food is perfectly prepared and flavourful, and portions are generous. The platter for two is excellent value for your money!

10/10

Great little Greek restaurant with absolutely delicious dishes. Highly recommend the fried calamari.

Me and a friend went to Alexandra s and enjoyed the Greek platter for two, it was delicious!! We got to try all the best Greek dishes from the restaurant we got it with the calamari but it also comes with the choice of moussaka which I will for sure try next time!! The chef was super friendly and kind and even came out to our table to check how everything was which you don t find very often anymore. The servers were also all very kind and personable. I would recommend this place to anyone in nanimo!

Potatoes a bit hard and calamari under cooked. Rest of the food was great!

Excellent food, service, atmosphere, come here every time I visit. From Toronto

DELICIOUS!!! My husband and I ordered the Greek platter for two with the moussaka, and everything was soo tasty and made very well! It is so much food, easily enough for 4 people, and trust me when I say that because we are not light eaters however it was $74 which was a bit of a shock, but like I say it is a ton of food so we feel like it was worth it. We will be back :)

I tried the platter for two and it was a good meal. I only have one photo and dont recall the finer details unfortunately.

Garlic prawns were awesome

Veggie pasta best taste ever

Went there more than once, delicious, love it

Delicious Greek platter! Great proportions and the peach cheesecake is outstanding.

Birthday dinner with 7 adults & 4 kids. Jasmeen, our server, was excellent providing friendly, efficient service. Our table had appys, several different main dishes, lamb & prawn souvlakis, platter for two, prawn fettuccine, & dessert, all meals were served promptly & hot. Flavors were great & all were very satisfied. Bobby, the owner/chef, came out to greet his guests and to see that all were happy. Have been here with our family many times & have never been disappointed. Highly recommend

I always enjoy Alexandras the food is always good and the portions are large I can never finish my meal if you have never been you should give it a try you wont be disappointed! I also love that the chef/owner comes out and goes to every table after their meal.

First time Customer, Tried the Greek Platter for 2 ! Very disappointet, lots of bland Rice, Meat Skewers overcooked (Too dry) Calamari not crisp, way to expensive. NOT going back.

I went to Alexandras Bistro with my friends a couple nights ago and it was so good! I ordered the Kleftiko with Greek salad and it was so delicious and flavourful! This is the best place for a night out with friends or family! My friends ordered the Calamari dinner and the Scampi Divalo and they loved every bit of it. The meals leaved us stuffed and lunch for the next day. The service was super friendly and efficient! I loved how the chef came out and greeted each table and checked if we liked the food. This is the best place I have had food from and I will definitely be back with more friends!

Love love love this place! I couldn t recommend enough. The food, the service the staff, it s all so amazing. My sister, her bf and I, we always get the platter for 2. As you can see in the photo it s plenty of food. If you re in Nanaimo and looking for Greek food, this is the place to go!

Picked up some chicken Alfredo, some lasagna, Greek salad, chicken souvlaki and a bonus cheesecake slice...I havent been since before the split with my ex and came back because I wanted to eat healthy and tasty food. Im glad I did. Its awesome. Big portions and hot. Definitely be back Dietary restrictions: I assume that if anyone had allergies, the kitchen can accommodate Parking: Parking can be tricky, park below in the big lot and walk upstairs. Kid-friendliness: Open table area dining and plenty of entertainment Wheelchair accessibility: I can see the access

Prompt, courteous. Platter for 2 was more than enough for 3 adults with leftovers.

First time visiting Nanaimo with my mother and she suggested Greek food which I had never had a true experience besides a Greek salad from Zehrs. Food was delicious... I didnt have time to take a picture. We got the Greek platter for two and both enjoyed it very much. Either the cook or owner came over to check that we enjoyed the food.

Really good Greek and Italian food! The server was amazing ! Thanks to Mariana made my dinner a great experience

My goodness. I can t believe how long it took me to finally get my Greek platter for 2 with a couple extra kabobs (that well fed 4 of us). It was absolutely delightful! The teens loved it too. Thank you for a wonderful dinner Alexandra s

WOW!!! We ordered and picked up food to eat at home after a very long day of working on our boat. We had the Greek Platter for Two. This is a great meal with many different items included. The food has spectacular flavour and certainly feeds two very well. We look forward to ordering again. Thank you

I wanted to try this place after I read all the great reviews (well, not all of them there s too many!), and they did not disappoint!! Everything was DELICIOUS!! My mom and I shared the Greek platter, my dad had the prawn fettuccine, and my brother had the chicken souvlaki. We finished with a shared piece of mango cheesecake. Yum! It was the best Greek food I ve had in a long while, maybe ever. Overall, it was the best experience I ve had in any restaurant in a long time. Excellent food, great atmosphere, and our server, Jasmine, was lovely. The chef even came out to ask how everything was! I highly recommend this place, and I can t wait to go back again!

Alexandra s has such a wide variety of food and everything we ve ordered is amazing! The butter chicken is their best kept secret and does not disappoint! Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options

Great location service was excellent Parking: Great Food : 5/5 |

Feast for two is amazing. Staff was very friendly with genuine interest in our experience. So much food we enjoyed full meal the next day. Convenient location but the decor did feel a bit tired.

Where to even start! On just how amazing everything was. The potato amazing, the chicken skewer amazing, the lamb skewer amazing, the rice amazing, and the best Greek salad ever. Thank you Girleen for such an amazing service.

Amazing customer service! Would have done 6 stars but 5 was the max!

Excellent good food service

Wonderful experience at Alexandras! Camila provided excellent service and the food was amazing with HUGE portions. The Platter for 2 was more than enough for our family of 3. Will definitely be back!

Super good! Honestly came back to Nanaimo just to have the prawns in marinara sauce again; never dissapointed

We just had a great experience here at Alexandras. The food was amazing. We bought the dinner for 2 it should actually be called the Dinner for 4, there was so much food and it was all so tasty. The service from the waitress (tall with amazing arm tattoos) start to finish was amazing No wonder they have have been in business for over 20 years. We are thankful that we ended up there tonight and will be going back.

My sister and I were staying overnight in Nanaimo, from Victoria, and went to this restaurant just 2 days ago based on a Google search. We will now always refer to it as the hidden gem of Nanaimo. The food was outstanding and the service was incredibly. We will be back

Alexandria s makes delicious food! We had to order a large amount of food to feed our staff and each meal was more than enough and some had leftovers. The owner was very kind and flexible and bent over backwards to ensure we got our food earlier than they actually open to accommodate a scheduling conflict. While waiting the ambiance was great and it was nice and cool in there on a hot day. Will be back again!

Alexandras prepared lunch for our staff crew. They made special arrangements for this early occasion, and it was ready on time, with a friendly call, and great service at order and pick up. Meals were delicious!

Great place but theyre closed for week of Canada a day. It would have been good if the same was updated on Google. Was kinda a bummer to go all the way only to find it closed.

The food was really delicious, it was the best food Ive had in Canada so far! In addition, the service was very, very friendly.

The staff is very friendly without being intrusive. We enjoyed our stay at this restaurant! Vegetarian options: I had a very great vegetarian dish. Parking: Lots of parking spaces behind the restaurant

THEY ARE GREAT;;;FREAQUNTED BY CERTAINOTHERS EXPLORE YOUR IMAGINATION CREATIVELY: SAID DONE YES YES YES.!!@

Such amazing food and customer service. Definitely recommend this place for amazing pasta and good vibes!

Very yummy food I was driving by and saw Italian bistro, since I haven t found many Italian restaurants in Nanaimo I had to place an order! so glad I ordered from Alexandra s my food was delicious will definitely be coming back again

I visited Alexandra s for the first time this past weekend. It s a place I have heard highly of from friends and it didn t disappoint! A group of three of us shared the two person platter and some calamari and it was perfect. We got to try a bit of everything and there was more than enough for all of us. Food came out pretty quickly, the owner/chef did a walk of the restaurant and talked to each table to make sure everything was satisfactory. It more than was. At the end of our already lovely dinner, we go to pay and were passed a complimentary dessert to go. It was a delicious cheese cake that came with a mango glaze to pore over. 11/10 I will definitely be back. You can tell this is a restaurant that truly cares about the experience.

Great food; attentive and nice staff. Best bruschetta, tortellini, and chicken afredo. Food

Amazing butter chicken and fettuccine with baked cheese. We were visiting from out of town and got take out.

Awesome Family run restaurant which in my opinion is always better then some copy of a copy of a copy corporate chain. The food is excellent. Its homemade from scratch with large tasty portions. You have a very good chance of having to request a take home box which they are always happy to oblige. I take my mum there she can only eat half a meal and we take the other half home for her. Calamari hands down is the best Ive ever had. The owner Bobby always tries to get out and make the rounds from the kitchen to say hello and ask how everything is. Prices are excellent as well.

Best baklava ever!!!

First time visiting this neat little restaurant. Food was delicious, hubby and I shared the platter for two. The owner came around and greeted all the customers like friends. To top off a complimentary delicious cheesecake was given to top off a already great experience. Will definitely return next time we are in Nanaimo

Loved the Greek platter for two! Everything was delicious and we had enough for lunch the next day!

Got take-away. We ordered calamari with our entree and they waited until we arrived to pick up our food to cook the calamari which was fantastic! We had to wait a few minutes but it was well worth it since the calamari was still crispy when we got home to eat. The rest of the food was amazing as well, particularly the pesto prawn penne. Great service, great value, definitely will be going back.

Although we did take out tonight, the food and service was amazing. The calamari was hot and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and courteous. Thanks for the dessert too - it was delicious!

Unbelievable as usual. Amazing food and service. One of Nanaimos best!!

This was our first time at the restaurant and it was pretty good with exception of the Chicken Souvalki. Not sure if it was over cooked??? But it tasted kind of mushy, perhaps it was an off night not sure. The cheesecake however stole the show. It was light and fluffy and one piece wasnt enough lol. I had a wicked craving for Greek lemon potatoes and theirs really hit the spot. The customer service was outstanding. Very friendly and pleasant to chat with. I would try them again in the future to see if the chicken is any better. We found the pricing was very reasonable with the amount of food you got. We were beyond stuffed haha. Thanks for the lovely service we received. Overall a positive first experience.

Amazing food. Could not stop eating

A family favorite. Solid dependable place for dinner. Garlic prawns are amazing.

Went there with friends who recommended it. The Greek food was delicious.

Delicious food every time! Great fast service! They also gave us complimentary cheesecake!

Unreal food! We had a few different plates including appetizers, mains and dessert, all of which were sooo good. So glad we came here on our one night in Nanaimo. Hopefully we get the opportunity to come back.

Great platter for 2. Its practically big enough for 3.

Their Chicken Souvlaki is to crave for. Also, their Blue Cherry martini is one of my favourites (along with Zougla a Raspberry martini). Last night, I had my first serving & by the time I had finished, I decided to have a second serving. After I was done with my second serving, I was given a cheesecake for free. Well worth it in my opinion. Dietary restrictions: I wouldn t recommend overeating their great food; you ll gain weight very quickly.

In from out of province and everything was delicious, bruschetta and salmon spumante! Very nice atmosphere and great people.

Food and service at Alexandras are always fanatic. We had the chefs daughter was our waitress and she provided us with exceptional, friendly service. The chef went around to every table and thanked everyone for being there which we thought was so nice. I love how many different options there are on the menu. We ordered the Greek platter for 2 and everything was amazing and a great deal for how much food we got.

Made large order for takeout. Was ready when when I got there, except for calamari, which was done while I waited. Food has been consistently good anytime we have ordered, so will be coming back. Need to eat in without the kids to try the saganaki.

Small little restaurant but its a cute little place and has great greek good

Awesome food, great service. Greek platter for 2 fantastic and cheesecake amazing!

Absolutely fantastic first time visiting this restaurant. Michael, our server went above and beyond expectations! Was able to recommend the best options! Appetizers came out quickly and hot! We happily enjoyed a bottle of wine and the cheesecake! Will come back! :)

This is one of the nicest resterants I have ever been too. My server Harleen was so nice and very helpful. Overall had an amazing experence!

The Greek platter did not disappoint. The best Greek food my wife and I have ever had. Especially the moussaka, roast potatoes, and hummus! You must try the spanakopita. Flaky, crispy and delicious!! Kind and attentive staff made our experience amazing!

If I got to heaven and I opened the gates and heaven was a big Alexandras, I would be extremely happy

We got take out but the atmosphere when picking up food was very welcoming with a romantic feel. We drove from Nanaimo to Ladysmith and the food kept very well and tasted so good. Even after being in a take out container for half hour the calamari was prefect. When you go Greek you don t go hungry, the amount of food we got was amazing. Would recommend taking a date here or grabbing some take out to bring home, even if you are from out of town

We were disappointed after reading all the positive reviews.We ordered a chicken souvlaki ,the price was $24.95 and it was a disappointment, it included 1 small chicken skewer, 1/2 small pita, 1/2 tiny uncooked potato, 2 scoops of rice and a tiny Greek salad with 1 olive.The food was tasteless and didnt have the Greek flair we experienced before in other Greek restaurants. I think the prices are excessive for the quality and quantity of food this restaurant is offering.

I absolutely love this place been here several times it s our go to never disappoints. This is their Greek platter for two which leaves us satisfied every time not to mention it also comes with a delicious cheesecake for dessert. If you ask me this is the best restaurant in Nanaimo

Food was fresh and flavourful, hummus was unctuous and garlicky and perfect. Service friendly, fast and very good. Will definitely eat here again!

I visit Alexandra s first time ,food and service is amazing.Highly recommend.

So delicious, even tried the curry my last visit, and it s was so satisfying. Our local go-to

I got takeout. A friend suggested going, and Im very glad that I did! The food was amazing! Everyone there was so friendly and accommodating! The saganki was absolutely delicious, just the right amount of tartness from the lemon to offset the richness of the cheese! The pita was light and fluffy, so good! The lamb fell right off the bone, and was tender and juicy. The moussaka was rich and tasty! Everything was so good!

Excellent meal.

My favourite restaurant in town. Advertised as Greek restaurants and the Greek food is DELICIOUS however they have the best pastas I ve ever had a wide selection as-well lots of variety. Could never get tired of it

Some of the best greek food Ive ever had! Will definitely be a returning customer!

Such a wonderful place! Food is amazing, we love dining in and their takeout is so incredible too. The portions are great and they treat their customers so well.

I love this restaurant the food is amazing same as the service the staff is kind an helpful this is saganaki on the appetizer menu it s a Greek dish that s fried cheese with olive oil and lemon juice one of my favourite dishes definitely worth a try

Alexandras has been the best food I have eaten by far since Ive moved to Nanaimo! Everything was amazing and you can tell they out all of their effort into the food they make. A+ all around!! :)

Delicious flavourful food! Great service and friendly staff!

This little gem of a restaurant is absolutely fantastic!! We came here last night, party of 4, and we all had an exceptional experience. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is fantastic. The food is all phenomenal, and it was super nice of the chef to come out and see how our meals were tasting. No complaints at all. I didnt catch our servers name, but she was incredibly kind and super accommodating, phenomenal service. This place is amazing, and its incredible how diverse their menu is. All the food and drinks are reasonably priced. There is literally something for everyone on their menu, there is tons of variety. The butter chicken is definitely a winner! Will definitely be back, highly recommended! 10/10!!

Great food, dine in or take out !!

Delicious food every time we dine in or take out. Excellent service and lovely staff!

The food was fast and fresh. The server was pleasant and the Chef came out and ask how the food ! Definitely will be back and suggest that you park in the parking lot at the rear. Will definitely be back! Parking: Park in the parking lot behind the restaurant.

Great authentic Greek food! Their other dishes looked delicious. Loved that the chef came out and checked in with every guest even when it was full! The service was awesome! Highly recommend!

We have been to Alexandras bistro plenty of times and its always been a great experience.. either a large group for birthdays or just the 2nof us.. its always been fab. I crave the moussaka and the calamari is fresh and crispy.! I highly recommend. Parking: Easier to park in bottom lot and walk up the outside stari case

Best butter chicken in town and the head chef and owner often comes out to make sure all the guests are happy. Great place

Love eating here! We usually get the platter for two and always pay for an extra container of hummus! By far the best hummus around! Usually get take out but when we do eat in, we always have a great experience. Staff are very friendly and the food is always delicious!

The calamari was fantastic!! Light and crispy and so delicious! We stopped on a whim and found our absolute favorite Greek location in Nanaimo! We also enjoyed the fettuccine alfredo, and the mango cheesecake; both equally scrumptious! Parking: Its the lower lot behind the actual entrance.

I ve been coming here for years! they have amazing food, the saganaki is the best i ve ever had! The staff are always friendly :)

The platter for 2 is a meal fit for king and queen! Alexandras is year after year my favorite spot for a meal in Nanaimo.

Service and food was excellent we really enjoyed ourselves. Portions were plenty and will definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely evening

Excellent service, large portion,good prices. Food is great. I recommend.

We love Alexandras! We were there again on Sunday (Dec 17th) and as always the service was friendly, fast and exemplary. The chef even came out to say hello and ask about the food- which was as delicious as always. One of our favourite places in Nanaimo. Kid-friendliness: They brought my youngest childs food out really quickly without being asked!
