The decor of VAS Kouzina is pretty cool. I really like the vibe of the place. Aside from that, service was good and the food was mostly top notch. Stopped in for the first time last week. I had this bookmarked for a while and decided it was time to check it out for date night. Hubby ordered the beef sticks with grape leaves and I ordered the burger with a side of fries. We started out with the saganaki (flaming cheese). Everything was delicious with the exception of the grape leaves (can't recall the official name of this dish). I told hubby that some reviews had mentioned they were soggy and not too good. He agreed with those reviewers and would not recommend. The saganaki was both literal and metaphorical fire. The pita points it was served with were crunchy, which was pleasantly surprising. We both did wish there was some kind of sweetness to complement the cheese like a fruit jam or something, but it was delicious regardless. The beef on the sticks was tasty as was the burger but the star of the whole show were the fries. Hubby typically does not like fries but he loved these and was happy that I let him share them with me. Lol I am not sure what kind of seasoning they had but our taste buds definitely approved. They don't come with the burger but were definitely worth getting on the side. It was a little on the pricey side at about $35-40 more than our typical date night spend for less food, but it was good overall. Too pricey to make it into our weekly rotation, but will be a nice addition to our special occasion options. read more

We were wandering putting our name down anywhere and VAS Kouzina sat us down immediately which was amazing! Our waiter was nice and super attentive. We got some hummus to start which was delicious. For my main, I got the gyro and we all shared some greek fries which was so yummy! The meal was absolutely delicious and well priced. If you are looking for a yummy and simple meal in Roswell this is a great choice! read more

Great food and service. I love the Mediterranean food I really recommend this restaurant the ambiance is great read more

Amazing food and great service. You can tell the owners really care about their customers and their product. Totally deserves the rating you see. We sat at the bar and had phenomenal service from Stacy the super friendly and helpful bartender. Also unlike so many other restaurants in downtown Roswell, you can actually hear each other even in a packed restaurant. The covered porch is very romantic. read more

-service was so personable and lovely! -told them we had a bday in our party and they brought us complimentary baklava roll -steak medallions were wonderfully cooked -gyro (eaten by someone else in party) was average -skewers were also cooked well but very salty -mocktails were beautiful and the cherry one was my fav; others were slightly too sweet for me (nyx and Athena mocktails) -calamari wasn't overly greasy and lemon aioli sauce was light and great to dip in -hummus was very acidic for my liking; would maybe try a different spread -everything unfortunately was overly salted; think they might've been heavy handed today -above being said, would come back for the friendly service and to try other menu items read more

Wanted to really love this place as it seems so authentic! Good lamb chops, lamb gyro, and baklava. For the price of the lamp chops, I wanted to be really wowed - but it was decent. The baklava was too sweet but to be expected when you're dining in the South. Our server was friendly and kind and overall it was a lovely dinner experience. read more

Sat at the bar with bartender Kaylee and everything from start to finish was excellent. Started with Flaming Cheese - wow good - then the beet salad and the stuffed chicken. Food, service, ambience - all outstanding! Highly recommend and we'll be back soon read more

Finally got to eat here. Wanted to eat there for years, but they don't open till 5 PM. I would highly recommend it. It was not cheap, but it was good and the service was very good. read more

My Greek burger was tasty but the Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves wraps) were found to be somewhat soggy and tasteless. The grilled octopus was nice so said my partner. The overall dining was a B and our server was tolerant and helpful. Want to try the sister location in Alpharetta next for a good comparison. read more

Very unpretentious, relaxed, good music. We had calamari and lamb shank. Very nicely prepared. Waitress was very friendly and we ordered a dessert, and were graced with a sample of another. Leave room for dessert. Both were awesome. Rating against other Greek restaurants, I would put it near the top. read more

Recently visited VAS for a girls night out. We had a table for 8 on the outdoor patio. Love the Mama Mia style ambiance consisting of soft blues and rustic neutrals. They have a great assortment of wine, cocktails and mocktails. For appetizers we had baked feta with a glaze reduction along with warm olives and spicy red pepper hummus and pita bread. For dinner we shared small plates of perfectly seasoned and seated roasted vegetables, lemon potatoes and orzo. Others had lamb and chicken gyros that are truly authentic - large knife and fork style meals here!! For a fun night out downtown Roswell for great Greek food, good service, and a fun warm ambiance Vas is the place! read more

So I happened upon this jewel in Roswell near Canton St. It was a freezing cold night, and the warmth of the staff & ambience was palpable. I was impressed with the mocktail list named after Greek Goddesses (the Athena was delightful). There were many great options on the dinner menu with a focus on lamb and fish. I decided on a chicken gyro & dips & of course the baklava cheesecake (best dessert I've ever tasted!). My only complaint was that the meat to bread ratio was off -- for the price I would have expected a bunch more chicken. Still, I would recommend for a girls night out or romantic dinner. read more

A warm and friendly smile greets you as you walk into this restaurant. The young lady walked us to our table near the bar. It was early and the dinner rush hadn't started. A waiter was assigned to our table and he carefully explained the menu with a few personal recommendations which was nice. We ordered the grilled octopus to start and then the grilled sea bass...... as we tasted both dishes the memories of a recent trip to Greece popped up ......the food was splendid and everything was cooked to perfection.......we wanted to skip dessert but the wonderful hostess brought the most irresistible baklava.....a tasty experience..... try some..... read more

VAS Kouzina was amazing!! We went at a weird time, 4:15 pm on a Saturday, so we were pretty much the only ones there. We ate outside and it was great! Nicholas was our waiter. He was so attentive and friendly. Here's what we got: - Three Spreads (Melitsanosalata Eggplant Spread, Revithosalata Hummus, Tirokafteri Spicy Feta Spread) ($14.99): So, so delicious! Great deal to try 3 different spreads. The Tirolafteri was not spicy at all. - Goat Cheese ($8.49): Fried goat cheese balls in balsamic vinaigrette. So good! - Traditional Gyro ($11.29): Amazing, especially with the tzatziki. - Lamb Gyro ($13.29): Amazing again, especially with the tzatziki. - Spanaki ($10.49): Super good! - Americana Greek ($10.99): So much feta and lots of other toppings! Amazing! - Roasted Cauliflower ($7.49): So good and lemony! They also brought out a dessert sampler, on the chef, with baklava rolls and something with honey walnut. The dessert was so good and next time we go back, we will definitely be ordering! We loved every single thing we got. The prices are so fair and the portions are generous. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We will 100% be back! read more

Honestly do not understand the hype of this place whatsoever. There's parking near by but it is somewhat difficult to find spots if it's a busy night. We had a reservation for 8 people to sit outside. We were seated pretty quickly. The horrible part was that they seated this huge party right where the fans didn't hit us. So we were very uncomfortable with the heat when they had ensured us there would be fans to cool us down. We asked REPEATEDLY if we could move the fan to hit us because the other tables had mostly cleared out. We even asked other tables if they were ok if we could move the fan and they were. Our server was trying his best however it was the managers decision. We slightly turned the fan after over 45 minutes of asking. The manager came out and yelled at us even though we had asked about this MULTIPLE times. Anyways other than the manager being rude to us. The food wasn't all that great either. We had gotten a few of the dips but definitely not the best in the city. The dips at Kyma are much more delectable. Everything had so much salt too! The octopus I would say was the best but still a bit too salty for me. The octopus however is what makes this a two star review and not one. I ordered a gyro and the meat in the gyro was too thick. In typical Greek restaurants, it's supposed to be a thin slice of meat. Overall, not great and there are plenty of other good restaurants in downtown Alpharetta to go to instead. read more

great menu! great kitchen! marvelous service- appropriately attentive and very personable! We always enjoy our meal at Vaz

Let start with saying the service was really good. We sat outside because it was a nice day and they had heaters. We are so much good food! The calamari was on point and we had a whole fish. You can ask for the head removed and debone which I asked for it all. That was enough for both of us to share. The service was on point as it was fast and the server was very knowledgeable. We will be back! read more

This restaurant was in fact recommended by a Grecian acquaintance. Unfortunately, I did not find anything to be great. The drinks were very pricey and nothing out of the ordinary. The sampler was good. We had the salmon special and lamb chops. The salmon was not bad. The risotto that came along with it was ok. The lamb chops were not flavorful so we had to ask for salt. We even discussed this with the manager. The baklava was good. Not too sweet which is great because I've had some which are just too sweet. Favorite thing was the goat cheese balls All in all it's not a place I'd return to. It's overpriced and the service received from the manager was not what we are used to. Instead of addressing the issue and making sure we felt heard about the pricey lamb chops he just made excuses. read more

Beware. The restaurant splits the bill equally for groups. How can a place be allowed to do this ie charge you for something you did not eat or order and divide the bill without asking. Save yourself the money and go to Athens Pizza for better Greek food. We were there with another couple, four people total. It would be easy to split the bill accordingly, I told the waiter that my wife I were together and it should have been clear to the waiter what each couple ate. So the owners response is not correct. read more

We have always had a great experience at VAS Kouzina, and hope to get back soon. We especially enjoy the whole fish, deboned table side. read more

VAS Kouzina is currently my favorite restaurant in Roswell! Try the goat cheese fried balls with a side of pita, an authentic Greek salad, the moussaka, and any of the gyros for a satisfying dinner for two. Add a bottle of Greek wine for the full experience... I have also heard great things about the whole fish; can't wait to try it! Feeling like Greek food? This place will not disappoint! read more

I love the way this restaurant is decorated. You can tell they paid a lot of attention to the detail. Our server was really nice and really knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the feta pastry, which was imported feta wrapped in phyllo and baked, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and had a honey basalmic glaze drizzled over the top. It was good but I wish there was more glaze lol. We also had the hummus with perfectly toasted pita points. It was a great spread to add to our gyros. We split the gyro but we easily could've devoured our own. I loveddd the tzatziki. It was so garlicky and tangy, the way i like it. We also got the Americana Greek salad, Greek fries, and orzo salad as sides. Everything tasted so good and I loved being able to mix everything up because the flavors blended together beautifully. Will definitely be back. read more

OMG the entire experience was horrible. This is by no means a cheap place so I had some expectations. How does a Greek restaurant manage to screw up a traditional gyro? The four dry slices of lamb were over a 1/4" thick and had 1/4" crust. It was so dry that it crumbled. With the sparse side of zaikai sauce and water I managed to get it down. I hope I don't get sick. I decided to do a starter so I ordered the Skordalia spread which is supposed to be garlicky but it just had a faint taste and it lacked salt. It was basically ice-cold very thick dry mashed potatoes. The $8 draft beer was cold which was the highlight of the meal. I sat at the bar and the bartender spent the entire time socializing with all the servers. When I left after finishing my horrible meal, my three menus were still sitting in front of me. Clearly some training is needed. Avoid this place. read more

Delicious Greek food. Lively ambiance. Wonderful service. I loved my visit to Vas Kouzina. We started the dinner with a flaming saganaki (cheese) with pita bread. It tasted delectable and it was a memorable presentation as it's lit on fire at the table. We decided to share the whole fish branzino and it came de-boned and served with a wedge of lemon and savory lemon sauce. It was flaky, fresh, and zesty. Our server was lovely and brought us a complimentary baklava dessert since it was our first visit here. Will definitely return! read more

VAS Kouzina - Baklava - Greek Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

We really enjoyed our Sunday patio brunch at Vas! The avgolemono soup and lamb polenta fritters were a nice pairing. I liked my bourbon drink special as well and it was definitely heavy on the bourbon! The meze 3 spread sampler was a nice offering. We chose the feta and red pepper (reminded me of Greek pimiento cheese spread), potato garlic and eggplant spread. All were fantastic. The Greek burger was also nice. The backlava rounded out the meal and was perfectly sweet. Our server and the service in general was outstanding. There was a lot of care taken to provide us with a personalized experience. Kudos to the staff at VAS for treating us to a great experience. I prefer this location to the Roswell one as it is more cramped over there and parking is a pain! read more

I dined here with a rather large group and we had a great experience. Our food and cocktails were fresh and delicious. Portions were generous. Service was leisurely but attentive. The restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday night and the waitstaff was definitely having to cover a lot of tables. They have a good amount of patio seating on a nice covered area, however loud traffic noise from the road did make it a bit difficult to hear dinner conversations, but given the restaurant location I'm not sure there's anything that can be done to mitigate that. Since it's in downtown Roswell, trying to find parking is always a struggle and for that reason I did remove one star (because it makes coming here more difficult). All in all the meal was excellent and maybe I will try the sister restaurant in Alpharetta and see if parking is easier there. read more

My boyfriend and I have driven by VAS Kouzina so many times we decided it was time to visit. We made a reservation for a weeknight and it was a good idea - the entire place was packed by the time we left, including most every seat in the bar area. We were seated immediately in the main dining area, which is so light and bright - it felt very clean and cheerful. Our friendly waitress made several recommendations and here's where we landed. We started with fried calamari - it was perfectly done and perfectly portioned. Sometimes appetizers are so big you can fill up on them, but not this one. It was just enough to tickle our tastebuds. For dinner, we each chose a gyro: my boyfriend selected the traditional (lamb and beef) while I couldn't resist the shrimp version. We ordered two shareable sides, too: roasted cauliflower (amazing!!) and Greek fries. We loved it all so much that we ate every last bite and, unfortunately, left no room for dessert. Maybe next time! This is a casual restaurant (people wore shorts, polos, and sundresses), but VAS Kouzina feels more upscale with their menu options and terrific food presentation. We will be back the next time we're in the mood for fine Greek food! read more

I love this restaurant! I have been several times and I have absolutely loved everything I have ordered. The service is always great, but the past 2 times I've eaten at the bar. The bar tender is just a gem! He remembered me from almost a month ago. It's one of those secretes you want every one to know beaches so great, but that you want to keep to yourself so that you have a better chance of getting a seat. The location is on the small side and is frequently busy, so reservations are highly recommended unless you are taking a chance in the open bar seating. read more

Vas Kouzina hosted our holiday work event. I enjoyed an amazing meal, with my new work colleagues in Alpharetta. From entering the restaurant until we left, our experience was fabulous. We all enjoyed the street holiday decorations and charm of downtown Alpharetta. The interior design of the restaurant is so pleasing with high ceilings, tiled walls and great lighting. Our server Izaiah was on it. He did such a great job sharing the menu, specials and helping us all order our meals. I highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic Greek meal served with Philia (Greek for affectionate, friendly love!). I will be back! read more

We had a wonderful time! Paul was the best server and the food was awesome. We would definitely come again.

We love visiting Vas- Happy staff, good food, and just the right amount of ambience. It was a lovely evening, so we sat out on the patio. The patio is a bit loud as it's right next to the road, however, when it's over 70° in February, you just have to sit outside :) We love how most menu items are served tapas style, so my husband and I ordered a variety of things including Saganaki, Mediterranean salad, shrimp Saganaki and the mini traditional gyros. The plate portions were generous, and honestly, we were a bit too full to eat the euros! All yummy and we had quite a bit left over. Make sure to get their advice which the wine to order, the bartender is very knowledgeable and she will bring out tastings so you can determine what will suit your meal best. Total bill with a bottle of wine was $85 Pre tip. PS- they have amazing Limoncello if you're up for it :) read more

This was our first visit to VAS Kouzina and it did not disappoint. Being European myself, authenticity is important, and I definitely felt that this meal was authentic Greek. The medallions were incredibly tender and the sauce was to die for. We will definitely be back! The only reason for not giving it the full five stars was that our server was a bit pushy and was trying to upsell us on some of the items we ordered, when we had already made up our minds. read more

Nice ambiance for a date but not for a family with kids. I say that, based on the amount of food and the price. The Saganaki was "non-climactic". They do it at the table. You do not get any festive attention-grabbing sizzling and flames from the kitchen all the way to the table. The "Opa!" had zero umph :-/ I would come back for drinks and maybe an appetizer. However, I will save my craving for Greek food for Yeero Village! read more
