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
Had the 39$ three course meal, for its value it was fantastic, the zuchini chips & the fried cabbage balls were very delicious & flavorful. I had the 16 Oz steak, it was perfectly cooked at medium rare, as well as the loukoumades with cream cheese as dessert was a perfect way to end it. Othman gave us excellent service!! Highly recommend this spot!

Best meal I've had in a long time! The steak was perfect, juicy & delicious. I felt full & wanted to eat again. I would recommend it to my friends & family.
Nous avons partagé la pikilia à deux était c'était suffisant & excellent. Avant d'entrer dans ce resto, des gens qui en sortaient nous l'ont fortement recommandé & nous n'avons pas été déçus. De plus, le service était excellent :)

Excellent food! We had the grilled octopus & fried calamari as starter, & the grilled calamari & lamb chops as mains. Every dish was superb, exactly grilled to the point. You taste the love, passion & expertise of the chef. The portions were also very generous. It seems like a chef-owned restaurant. Service was also very friendly & attentive. They easily accommodated my dietary restriction (no dairy). The chef - a lovely person - came out to have a short chat with us (we were early no rush in the kitchen yet). All in all a great experience & we will definitely be back! A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Highly recommended.
Très bonne découverte que je recommande si vous passez à Montréal! La nourriture est excellente & les portions généreuses. Mention spéciale pour la moussaka végétarienne qui était divine ✨
Le personnel est très sympathique, souriant & attentif. En bonus, une purée d'aubergines offerte qui était également délicieuse!
Merci pour votre accueil & ce petit geste :)

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.
