I would give this place more than five stars if possible!…read more I'm an absolute fiend for middle eastern and Mediterranean food. I grew up on gyros and when I travel, I often gravitate toward that style of cuisine. So when I say this is THE BEST chicken souvlaki I've ever had, I don't say it lightly. The chicken is extraordinarily tender and so well seasoned. The tzatziki is delicious. The sumac onion and lemon wedge are just the cherry on top. My personal preference would've been for a salad instead of fries for the platter ($26), but I also didn't ask for it, so that's on me. Dad had the spicy pork yerro ($19), and said it was "awesome." A combination of flavors you don't get often, and tasty to boot. We polished off the meal with the largest piece of baklava I've ever seen ($15). It sits in an orange blossom honey and is just as tasty as it looks. Dessert is definitely on the pricy side - we could've gotten outta there pretty reasonably without it. I'll be back to try more of the menu. Their dips look incredible and the halloumi yerro is on my must-have list. Service was decent but depended on the dining room and takeout situation since there's only one server. I loved the response I got when I called about their hours earlier. (The menu photos show a 7:30pm close while Yelp indicates 9:30.) The answer? 9-10 "depending on the meats." Hope these guys stick around because the food is incredible. Highly recommend!

My son wanted one of their 'moreos' giant versions of O*eo sandwich cookies, and he loved it! We had 12 in our group, all with different preferences for protein, spice, and dairy. All of us were happy with our choices and the price points for the quality & quantity of food was very generous. The waitstaff are laidback and friendly, and we really enjoyed ourselves. I live in KS so am not sure when/if I'll be back in Anchorage, but if that day comes, you'll find me at Yak & Yeti!

We visited Yak & Yeti for a weekday dinner after our first two choices were both closed. Looking…read morefor an alternative, we came across Yak & Yeti, which seemed to serve some very interesting looking sandwiches, and according to reviews, serves delicious food in huge portions. Count us in! Arriving for a weekday dinner, the place seemed to have a decent number of customers, with most people getting rice bowls. We opted for one sandwich to share, since we were not that hungry, and we had read that one sandwich was big enough for two. We ordered at the counter, sat down, and our food soon arrived. Shapta Sandwich, Full ($12.99) - Since we only ordered a single sandwich, the cashier offered to cut the sandwich in half for us. We didn't expect them to actually serve it on two separate baskets, making it much more convenient for us to eat. The sandwich starts with a turmeric enhanced, yellowed colored baguette. The turmeric seems to mostly be for color, as the bun tastes closer to typical home baked buns. It's not really toasted all that much, so it's soft and fluffy. The bun is filled to the brim with tons of cubed and stir-fried pork. It's super tender, like it had been braised for hours before the frying. The pork is topped with lettuce and tomato, giving a bit of a crisp for textural contrast, and then with mayo and whole grain mustard for additional moisture and flavor. The major problem with this sandwich is the construction - since everything in the sandwich is chopped into small pieces, and the bun is so soft, all the ingredients essentially slip out while eating. It's very difficult to eat - something like 3/4 of the ingredients ended up on the basket after finishing, meaning I needed a fork to finish the dish! (4/5) People certainly aren't lying about the size of the sandwiches. Both of us were very full, bordering on bloated, after finishing our sandwich halves! I have to say, while tasty, I probably wouldn't get the sandwich again. It's just way too messy to eat. I think everyone else in the restaurant had the correct idea to get the rice bowls. I ended up having to fork 3/4 of the dish anyways, so might as well get it on rice! Bathrooms - Two rooms, one for each gender.

I came here to eat with a big party, and that doesn't always result in the best experience, but this one was very good. The server and service staff were very attentive and friendly. I think the owners even came over at one point to check on the table, which I really appreciate. I had the spanakopita appetizer which was served nice and hot and very flavorful. Also, the chicken marsala had great flavor, I could've basically licked my plate. I think I did mop up the rest of the sauce on my plate when the bread came in the middle of my meal. Honestly, this would be a five star review, but at the end of the day I left here hungry. I had three fairly small pieces of chicken and maybe a dozen rigatoni pasta on my plate. This is the first time I've ever left a Greek/Italian restaurant hungry. What I did get to eat was absolutely fantastic though.

It definitely is a diner, and it definitely had a vibe that this was a local spot. We got our Famous Halibut Sandwich, and it didn't disappoint. It was delicious, the batter was light and crispy, the halibut was fresh and flaky, and all served in between some delectable sweet buns. They also served an assortment of drinks. We tried this mimosa sorbet thing that was surprisingly delicious. If you're in downtown Anchorage and need a quick bite and/or a quick drink, definitely stop by. I don't think it'll disappoint.

This place is like a late sixties all American diner plopped down in the middle of town in 2026! Really a cordial place. I would normally score this a 5 star but frankly, I was disappointed in the meal presentation. There was only the bare naked sandwich on the plate. There simply should be at least some nominal garnish to add to the plate to make it complete.

The service here is outstanding. It feels like getting lunch or dinner from your own Greek Papou. They are incredibly generous and welcoming, which makes the whole experience so special. To the people complaining about the prices: anyone who's been in Alaska knows that sourcing and buying quality food here is expensive for both restaurants and customers. The prices here are VERY fair for the quality and portion sizes you get. Yes, the restaurant is obviously small and tucked away in a little aged strip mall, but that is part of its charm. If you want authentic, incredible Greek food made with love, come here. Tip: If seating is tight, just get it to-go! We will absolutely be back.

As we were driving by, we noticed Antonio's and decided to stop in. From the outside--and even when we first walked in--the place was completely unassuming. To be candid, it looked a little worn around the edges. If you're someone who judges a restaurant by its appearance, you might keep driving. That would be a mistake. What followed was one of the culinary highlights of our entire trip to Alaska. We ordered a couple of items, but the owner insisted we try several additional dishes. As vegetarians, we're often limited when exploring new cuisines, but not here. Every plate that arrived was fresh, flavorful, and made with obvious care. The experience was a revelation. It made me realize that I've probably never had authentic Greek food before. The Greek dishes I've had from chain restaurants, food courts, and grocery store offerings don't even belong in the same conversation. The ingredients tasted fresher, the flavors were more vibrant, and every bite felt like it came from a family recipe rather than a corporate kitchen. What elevated the meal even further was the owner himself. He spent time talking with us, sharing how he ended up in Alaska and telling stories about his journey. It felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. I've traveled extensively and eaten at restaurants across the country, and I can confidently say Anchorage is fortunate to have a place like this. Antonio's isn't just a restaurant--it's the kind of hidden gem that deserves national attention. Frankly, it belongs on a travel or food television show. If you're in Anchorage, do yourself a favor: ignore appearances, walk through the door, and trust the food.
