So my wife made the trek to the store from the West Island .
Brought home , Mousaka, Tiropita, pastichio, tomatokeftedes, Roulakia Aubergines & to top it off Bougatsa for dessert (my fave!).
We've been to the'high end' restaurants in town, this take home food is by far equal to if not superior in quality & taste.
Absolutely delicious !
Congrats ! Plus, great service!
I first stumbled into Kouzina Niata during a food tour with Local Montreal Food Tours & immediately felt like I'd found something special. The phyllo was flaky, the vibe was cozy, & everything had that homemade feel that just sticks with you.
Fast forward to my second visit, this time as a plus one for my friend Sarah's tasting, & it honestly made me love the place even more.
Tucked in Mile End, Kouzina is a warm little family-run Greek shop that somehow feels like it's been around forever (even though it's only three years old). You come in for a bite, & next thing you know, you're eyeing the freezer section like you're planning meals for the whole week.
They make their phyllo fresh in-house, & you can taste it. Crispy edges, buttery layers, soft centers… just everything you want in a savory pie. They also sell frozen versions to take home, along with olive oil, teas, dips, spreads, pantry goodies, & desserts. Basically, Greek comfort in a corner shop.
& yes, I definitely took a mirror selfie in their big beautiful window mirror. How could I not?
✨ Here's what I loved most:
• Montrealopita (smoked meat pie) - my top pick. Local twist, traditional feel, rich & flavorful.
• Kotopita (chicken & bacon) - came in second. So comforting & filling.
• Spanakopita - a classic done well. Light, fresh, & not too salty.
• Bougatsa - vanilla custard wrapped in phyllo, somehow cozy & delicate at the same time.
• Freddo Cappuccino - medium sweet, super smooth. You know that tragic little moment when you stir it & ruin the masterpiece? Worth it.
• Mango & Coconut Iced Tea - refreshing with a tropical vibe. Not too sweet, just enough.
I've been lucky enough to visit Santorini before, & tasting these pies brought me right back to those warm afternoons with sea breeze, flaky pastries, & that slow, joyful pace of life. It's amazing when a bite of food can do that.
This visit was part of a comped tasting, but sharing my honest thoughts above. 🫶🏽

Come hang out!
They have tons of vegetarian options like spanokopita (feta & spinach pie) & bougatsa (creamy custard pie) which my partner enjoyed.
But they only had one or two dairy free options like stuffed bell pepper (with rice) & an onion dip. I hope for more dairy free options in the future.
A real gem. Delicious phyllo style pies (pitas) like yaya used to make with a more'refined' touch. No offence to yaya. LOL. They are all delicious. Many other Greek classic offerings including bougatsa, moussaka, & biftekakia. Efgaristo poli.
Hands down some of the best savoury pies I've had as take out. The flavors blend perfectly. The service was very welcoming, especially as a first time customer. My favorite choices after trying several products is the excellent'Pasticio' as well as the'Spanakopita'. A small negative was the'Bougatsa' a Phyllo sweet pastry whereby, I felt that the dough felt slightly underbaked. All in all, I will certainly visit again. A few stools & stand-up counters available for some eating in.
Wonderful shop/café. Cappuccino is excellent. Chicken pie/ kotopita is so delicious & we each had Bougatsa, so yummy! Have to go back to try everything! Kouzina Niata is a spot that once you take a bite, you'll become a regular. Also a perfect place to pick up something delicious when heading over to dinner with friends & family. Very friendly & helpful staff that will offer suggestions to help you make a choice.
Best spanakopita & Bougatsa outside of greece. Coffee is great too.
Great ambiance & very attentive service. Spanakopita & bougatsa are exquisite.
Very authentic place offering a lot of tasty Mediterranean options. Its welcoming ambiance with always smiling staff made me feel at home. I had a delicious handmade Spanakopita with Latte & a super Bougatsa. Highy recommended !!!
Best spanakopita in town, hands down. Tiropita, kotopita & smoke meat pita are also awesome. Love the portion size of the bougatsa & love how it's not overly sweet. The moussaka is top tier. Coffees are good. Owners & staff are always very pleasant & kind.
