Very good value & very reasonable
Prices were very affordable for the portions
Tried the Greek salad , the dressing was excellent & the vegetables were very fresh.
Fried zucchini & eggplant was ok , a bit too dry for my taste,
Rib steak was a real 16 ounce, served wuth cauliflower & broccoli. It was delicious
The lamb chops were the best thing we had , very tasty & juicy
Ended the meal , with the Greek fried. Loukomades , tasted very home made
So much food we tot home two containers.
Good service as well
One of best Greek restaurants in montreal. Top quality of steak with perfectly cooked. Soup,rice & also very good. I am highly recommend this place. Thanks chef shohel to taking care of me
Very good greek restaurant, it has big portions & good quality dishes, very welcoming & friendly staff, the vibe is quite & relaxed, the steak was delicious, totally recommended spot.
The restaurant has imitation Greek food, but definitely not Greek.
The ones who liked the food are not Greeks &/or they don't know what Greek food is all about.
It is cooked by someone who learned from probably a non Greek as well, & is trying hard to…make it!
Good luck
Octopus starter & greek salad (no lettuce) were very good & substantial. We prefered the Lamb skewers to the Feta lamb but both were very good.
Come hungry.

I've gone to a lot of Greek restaurants in Montreal & this one is without a doubt one of the most unique ones.
The food - octopus, lamb, cheese..- was simply delicious. Everything was very obviously freshly made, & with love. The portions were also super generous which is quite rare nowadays. On top of that, the staff was incredibly sweet & welcoming, explaining all the meals in detail & chatting with us.
Super great atmosphere. I definitely recommend!!!
A lovely reboot of this iconic spot. Now it's Greek & less casual. Two of us tried it on a weekday evening. Very attentive & friendly service. Started with fried zucchini & eggplant slices with tzatziki. Lovely. Main course for me lamb with feta sauce. Very tender. My partner had grilled fish carefully prepared & filleted for him. Nice wine list with Greek wines rarely found in Montreal. We were too full for desserts which is a pity. We highly recommended it.
