Across reviews, Kouzina Niata is celebrated for authentic Greek comfort food and a warm, family run vibe, with standout dishes like spanakopita, tiropita, bougatsa, moussaka and tarama, plus a well liked freddo cappuccino and fresh desserts; takeout is reliable and convenient and the in-store phyllo is made fresh, contributing to a sense of homemade quality. While most feedback is glowing, some readers note high prices and varying portion sizes depending on the format, and a few mention sand in the spanakopita or limited dairy-free options; overall the spot is seen as a top Montreal choice for Greek cuisine with friendly service, quality ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere.
Niata is perfect. A great place to stop in for a Freddo cappuccino, Greek pie, dessert or any of your favourite authentic Greek dishes. I often go out of my way to stop in here. Their spanakopita is by far my favourite thing & their moussaka is amazing as well. The owners are super kind as well & you can tell they really care about the quality.
You can also purchase some of your favorite Greek chocolates, snacks & honey.

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.
What a wonderful little find! I've had this place on my list for quite a while, & I finally made time for it today & was absolutely pleased with my experience! I believe it to be a family owned business, the staff was courteous. We had the spinach/feta & 3 cheese phylo. It was delicious! We finished off with a vanilla custard phylo. The prices were fair, considering how good everything was. My only complaint is the hours. I've had this place on my list for so long, but between two jobs, I have a hard time making it to their opening hours. Despite that, I think everything deserves five stars! I will definitely be coming back, & suggest for everyone to try it at least once!
