Great vibes and great food. Generous portions as well. Staff is also very friendly ARADOPITA- corn meal pie- savory, salty, flaky, and delicious. So yummy  4/5 As simple as it gets- huge portion perfectly  cooked tender leg of lamb. Lightly seasoned with salt and a side of  onion and lemon to squeeze over the meat.  5/5 Didn't have dessert because the plates were so filling. I will def come here again for the food, service, and dessert?

Delicious food! Loved getting the spreads and bread, was a nice appetizer. The staff was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions thoroughly. They were adamant about getting us out of our table within the time limit even though we had a reservation and plenty of time. This was a little stressful, but still very friendly staff. Was a bigger scale of the sister restaurant krasi. Would recommend getting spreads and then 2 main dishes for 4 people.

Absolutely delicious food and drinks. I got the Karpouzi for drinks, which was savory, complex, filling, and delicious. Loved the cheese foam. For food we loved the bread (their butter is to die for), the meat pie, and the lamb chops. Our waiter was very helpful in recommending dishes .

Overall: sister to Krasi does not disappoint whatsoever. Service was top tier with a little funny oopsie and the food was great albeit maybe a little too salty. Food: like everyone else recommends get the Beef cheeks and lamb (either works). The beef cheeks are so rich and decadent with a couscous thats almost orzo/risotto like. The lamb is grilled so that it's not too gamey and salted well but the crust could've been dusted a little better. There's like a 50% on any given bite that the lamb may be too salty. The pies are absolute insane but I think the phyllo could've been a bit thinner. Maybe another fold or two and it would've been perfect as it became noticeable how thick it was once it was rolled up near the crust. Ambience/Decor/Service: the ambience and decor was incredibly well thought out. It was giving transport me to Greece vibes. The only caveat is that there was a lot going on between the bar the open seating the chefs table the little nook in the corner and the open kitchen. The service was exceptional with the one funny thing that happened. The server brought a covered plate and said it was the crayfish dish (which we didn't order) double checked us (felt a little gaslit) and then came back later with the similar looking covered plate with our beef cheeks. Funny situation but he was super nice about it.

I've been here one other time for dinner and had a great experience so I definitely wanted to come back for brunch. I made reservations ahead of time but they only had outdoor seating available. I called to check if there were any cancellations for indoor seating and the host who was helping me was very friendly. There were no cancellations for indoor tables but she was able to reserve bar seats for us and that worked out well! The servers at the bar were super friendly and we had a great overall experience. As for the food, everything was delicious. It's Greek small plates so everything is shareable. We ordered 6 different things and there were three of us. We probably could have been good with just 4 of the plates but I guess it depends how hungry you are. We had some leftovers to take home so that was nice! Everything was good but my favorite was probably the Tost which was the mushroom dish. It had great flavor and I love the bread it was on. The bread was also in a majority of the dishes we ordered. This restaurant is a sister restaurant of Krasi in Back Bay and it definitely has a similar vibe. Both places are fantastic! Highly recommend Bar Vlaha for a girls brunch, date night, or any occasion! Just make sure to make reservations ahead of time because the tables fill up quick!

We've dined at Krasi before and loved it, so we were excited to try Bar Vlaha when hearing that it was from the same owners. It's a nice small, intimate restaurant for a date night or dinner out. The menu may be a bit intimidating to some with so many unique options, but our server did a great job of highlighting some of the popular menu items. We ordered a variety of dishes and enjoyed all of them. We came with a party of 3 and ordered 3 small and 2 larger dishes and left quite full. The desserts were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered the galatopita (ruffled milk pie), samali cake, and gianniotiko (baklava) and found the flavors of each to be unique. Each dessert was paired with a delicious ice cream or sorbet. Other dishes we ordered: - Manitaria: Fried oyster mushrooms. These were fun to munch on, though wish they were a bit more crispy. - Saligarria: A must try. The snails are in a flavorful tomato sauce. Dipping the bread in the sauce brings it to the next level. - Chicken kontosouvli: At first look, this dish may seem basic, but the meat is so tender from the slow roasting. We would come back just for this. - Pestofra: Whole rainbow trout. Delicious but the skin could have been a bit more charred to really pack in more of the grill flavor.

Was excited to try this restaurant as it is in a great restaurant family (with Krasi, etc). Definitely did not disappoint! Food: We got the fried oyster mushrooms, lamb chops, and finished with the rolled baklava and olive oil ice cream dessert. The oyster mushrooms were seasoned beautifully. It was a great blend of the tangy, rich, garlicky sauce with the crispy mushrooms. The lamb chops were also seasoned well, cooked nicely and it was tender through and through. We even licked the bones clean! The dessert was so unique as I've never had olive oil ice cream before. You can definitely taste the olive oil but it didn't taste unnatural. Ambiance: Very cute interior, as expected from this restaurant group. The bar in the back is very grand and has a wide array of liquors to choose from. It's a relatively small space but with an open-kitchen concept. Service was great and attentive. Price: This place is a little compared to some other restaurants in Brookline. The oyster mushrooms were around $17, dessert around $15, which was fine. The lamb chops were over $50 and they were tiny. Although they tasted good, I was definitely not full with what we got. Overall, the dishes had great flavor and were of high quality. I would go again to try some of the more traditional dishes!

Super cute ambience, attentive service, and the food was absolutely amazing. The lamb leg was a tad bit dry but overall will be back!

I like the ambiance (nice decor, comfortable space) and the service was fine. For food we ordered- Shakshuka: As you'd expect, eggs, tomato, and cheese. The portion size was much much smaller than Shakshukas in other restaurants. Tahinopita: Very lightly sweet phyllo dish. The outer crust was harder than we expected and we had to crack it so that we could share. Dips: All three dips (tzatziki, spicy feta, and eggplant) were tasty ands flavorful. Greek coffee: was strong and bitter, as described :) There was also very limited bread offered to us with the dips and Shakshuka and it was too well done aka almost burnt edges. Overall for the price of the dishes, I'd expect more portions of the food.
