My daughter is in her mid twenties and we have been going to Alexandras since she was a little girl. The Moussaka is fabulous and so is everything else. Alexandras is a special little gem and the staff and ower obviously get along and treat...each other well, which is imprtant to us. We're so pleased Alexandras survived the pandemic. Each time we have gone in we have been greeted and treated with warmth and excellent service.More

Friendly, love the food. We have never been disappointed with whatever we have ordered. We have a number of dishes we find exceptional and we do try different ones because of the positive vibes of the known dishes we like. Our choice list gets bigger...every time we do.More

I went to Alexandra’s Bistro last night with my friends and it was fantastic!! I always come back with new friends and they always love it! This restaurant never disappoints and I am so glad I am a regular here! I ordered the calamari as...an appetizer and it was so fresh and tasty. For my main meal I got the Kleftiko (lamb shoulder) with a Greek salad and it was so flavorful, fresh and delicious!! This restaurant is such a good place to come to if you want Greek, Italian or some Indian food. The owner is super nice and friendly and the service is excellent! I also was super delighted when I received a complimentary slice of cheesecake from the chef! This restaurant is the best in town and definitely bring your friends and family here!!More

Everything was absolutely fantastic. Bobby was very accommodating for the pick up time for our order. Also added spicy carrots which also were great! Looking forward to some fettuccini alfredo pasta next time too.

We were Happy to support Alexandra's throughout the pandemic and extremely pleased to see they were able to remain open. We have been dining in or take out ever since Alexandra's Bistro first opened. It is our favorite Greek Restaurant in Nanaimo. The food is...very delicious with generous portions. Our favorite is the Moussaka but enjoy many of the other fantastic dishes as well. Nice atmosphere very friendly staff and owner/chef Bobby(sp?) makes sure you are enjoying your meal. Thank you for such Great food and service over the years. Look forward to seeing you soon.More

OMG!!! Last week I got take-out from Alexandra’s and it was the best food I have ever had. Dine-in or take-out, the food is phenomenal. I got the Veal Marsala and it came with a choice of alfredo or marinara pasta. I choose the alfredo...pasta. This meal was the BEST!!! It was very flavourful and delicious. The staff was also very kind and friendly. They also give you a complimentary pop!! Go right now and order some spectacular food!More
