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.
Great food (special mention: moussaka & their semolina pastry whose name now escapes me), & very friendly hosts. Not much room to eat, but all of the food is convenient to takeaway.
Si vous cherchez une nourriture grecque, je vous encourage à découvrir ce comptoir aux petits plats préparés au plein coeur du Mile-End. C'est beau & excellent, & il y a la possibilité de manger sur place aux quelques places disponibles. Que se soit sur place ou à emporter, c'est un arrêt gourmand à l'ambiance hellénique.

Warm service & delicious food. I had a Greek salad with feta (crisp & light) & chicken meatballs with roasted vegetables for my lunch, which were delicious, not oversalted. I had an espresso as well, perfectly done. Thank you for picking up my spirits on a rainy day!
Stunningly good authentic freshly made greek food. Not a sit down restaurant, but if you aren't needing table service you definitely should try this place!

Easily the best spanakopita I've ever eaten, better than anything I had in Greece & the by far the best in Montreal. For a while, I've been noticing people coming out at the place with us slice, so I knew I had to try it & it doesn't disappoint. Perfect amount of phyllo, spinach & feta, so it hits the spot. The people are very friendly, it has a cool & laid back atmosphere & it's located right on the trendy Via Street. Highly recommend.
To be honest, I didn't expect much, but the food turned out to be delicious. I highly recommend the moussaka; it is one of the best versions I have ever tried. I am surprised Google doesn't list it as an option for recommended dishes. The only minor thing I didn't like was taramasalata. It should be made with fish eggs, but I don't taste them in it at all. I also recommend Greek-style coffee; it tasted great. It would be even better if it would be served with water on a side.
A hidden gem!! We happened to walk by & thought we'd check it out & i'm glad we did! Freshly squeezed orange juice & amazing service! The people here are very friendly, all food made in house & warmed up if needed ! I'd definitely come back here when I'm visiting !
