Several reviews call the poutine at Souvlaki Andi the best in Montreal, noting the high cheese-to-fries ratio and a homemade sauce rather than powdered. A few comments point out minor downsides such as the pita souvlaki sometimes being a touch salty or the sauce not always having enough kick, and parking can be challenging in busy areas. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive in a clean, family owned setting, and the overall tone is that Souvlaki Andi is a dependable go to for comforting, affordable Greek inspired fare.View restaurant profile
