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.
We shared Greek salad, spanakopita, tzatziki, moussaka - everything was perfect. The quality of tomatoes, feta & oil in the dressing to the thickness of the yogurt in the tzatziki, to the pillowy topping of the moussaka. Super satisfying & great service. Will be back soon!

The moussaka was divine. Probably one of the best I will ever have outside of Greece. However the tzatziki needs more (some?) garlic since I didn't taste any. The pita chips could also be thicker. The faro salad was a refreshing addition to our meal. Two could eat handsomely for $15 pp
Went here for the first time today to try the spanakopita. The crust is less flaky than other spanakopita's I have had, however that does make for a cleaner meal & making this a good snack for on-the-go. The filling is generous & well seasoned.
Jeez. We walked by after patronizing the bagel place next door on a full stomach. Even with a full stomach we destroyed a container of moussaka. Super authentic & tasty. This shop is very pretty too.
Nous nous sommes stationné par hasard devant la vitrine & j'ai remarqué qu'il avait des spanakopita au feta & épinard ! J'ai couru à l'intérieur & Angelis le propriétaire à été super accueillant & souriant. J'ai pris des petits pitas & de la tzatziki qui reste à essayer. Je recommande belle petite ambiance avec pleins de petites douceurs sucrés & salé !
Everything was delicious, familiar yet unique & fresh. Some items were a bit overpriced & it's a bit unfortunate that this business relies on so much plastic but at least they use metal containers & wooden cutlery too. I got the : Greek peas = comes hot, decently priced, rosette d'aubergine = maybe a bit overpriced? , comes hot. gigantes = decently priced, came hot. Fava= a bit overpriced, comes cold. 5 bean salad = overpriced, comes cold. Tirokafteri = overpriced, comes cold. Bean soup / fasolada = a bit overpriced, comes cold. Farro salad = overpriced, comes cold. Tomatokeftedes = a bit overpriced, comes cold. Kourabiedes (almond cookies)= so good & decently priced. The food was prepared fairly quickly & made it to me in time. It's easy to stop by & pick something up & the owner is really nice. I would order again. thank you for putting love into the business & making sure the quality stays high consistently
The spanakopita, pastitio & baklava are phenomenal. The food was fresh & flavorful, reminiscent of a home cooked meal. Niata is a fantastic spot in the Mile End with very friendly staff!

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 !!!
Had the three cheese spanakopita. Most delicious & fresh piece I've had in the city. There's nothing more to add. Also, the spot has a modern greek vibe & everyone in the spot was speaking greek. Absolutely amazing taste & everything about this spot feels good. Prices are fair but more on the expensive side. The quality of the food compensates this.
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.
