Inspection summary
Dorian Greek House has been inspected 6 times by Interior Health Authority since November 20, 2019. The most recent inspection, on November 24, 2025, recorded 3 infractions.
None of the 6 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control, Protecting food from contamination and Cleaning and sanitizing.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded 8 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on March 11, 2025. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded 7 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on November 24, 2025. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on November 24, 2025. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 24, 2025. For example:
7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on March 11, 2025. For example:
3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

Stopped in for a quick meal because my partner had a craving for Greek food, and had eaten at Dorian on a previous visit to Kamloops. Ordered the appetizer platter and the chicken souvlaki dinner special. Then we were tempted with their tiramisu. Great staff, great food. Highly recommend.

Uncle wanted Greek tonight so we stopped in at Dorian's. Welcoming hostess, seated right away, table service was prompt! Lots of living plants, kind of cool, ordered a FIX beer...mmmm Saganaki first, missed the tang of the absent lemon... Uncle ordered the Greek Treat, chicken breast in a mushroom sauce while I ordered the lamb shoulder. The chicken was HUGE, he enjoyed it quite a bit. The lamb? Unfortunately on the dry side, notning special at all... He ordered the baclava for desert, seems they skimp in the syrup - he said is was disappointingly dry. We tried, maybe you will too... Service was prompt and efficient, food was served very timely...🤗

We had a great experience at Dorian Greek House. I ordered the Roast Lamb Plate, and it was excellent. The lamb was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The portion was very generous, so it was definitely worth the price. The restaurant has a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. The staff were friendly, and everything felt welcoming from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for authentic Greek comfort food, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be back!

We had a team dinner here last night for 10 people and the experience was excellent. The platters of food were delicious, flavorful and authentically Greek. Lexa did an amazing job of looking after us and was very nice. Overall the entire meal was a 10/10, will definitely return.
