Dans l’ensemble des avis, Kouzina Niata est saluée pour une vraie cuisine grecque et une ambiance chaleureuse et familiale, avec des plats phares comme la spanakopita, la tiropita, la bougatsa, la moussaka et le tarama, sans oublier le freddo cappuccino et les desserts frais; les plats à emporter fonctionnent bien et la phyllo faite maison renforce l’impression de qualité maison. Bien que les retours soient majoritairement positifs, certains évoquent des prix élevés et des portions variables selon le format, et quelques remarques signalent du sable dans la spanakopita ou des options sans lactose encore limitées; dans l’ensemble, c’est une adresse montralaine de choix pour une cuisine grecque authentique avec un service sympathique et des ingrédients de qualité.
Best greek food in montreal. Matter fact, best food in canada. Spanakopita is really good made with high quality fresh & clean ingredients. Their dough is organic too! Who knows what you're eating at other places. overall my favorite place in Montreal. don't forget the baklava cheesecake
5* everything. What a find!!! We came across it this afternoon & are so happy we went in. It's immaculately clean, the welcome was super nice & helpful, the choice of food is abundant & the quality is amazing. Everything is made there including the light as a feather filo pastry for the Spanakopita & other varieties. Totally authentic, delicious & a must. We'll be back very very soon. Thank you so much :-)
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!
I've been here a few times for a spanakopita, & while the flavour is incredible, every spanakopita I've had from here has been filled with sand. I'm guessing that the leeks aren't being properly washed. I thought the first time was maybe a fluke, but after three times it's clear it's not. Don't think I'll give it a fourth go.
I loved my first experience for lunch! I had beef & veggies & spanakopita! Taste & freshness are outstanding! They make great coffee & they have sweets!
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.

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.
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.
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!
