This was one of the best meals I had in Montreal. The service was so quick we got our food in less than 10 minutes & the restaurant was super busy. The only down side is that there is hardly any parking- we found a spot but I have no idea where everyone else parked. Also the prices were super reasonable. We got two meals with salads & drinks for $40 USD.

Love the food! For Laval, the service is very good, but it's too loud & busy. For the West Island, food was very good, service was very good & it was a quieter atmosphere.
Went on a dinner date to this location during the holidays & although the booths are somewhat cramped, decor is well done services excellent & food quality is top-notch authentic Greek. Chicken souvlaki, taramasalata & tzatziki are awesome. Was not impressed with their fries, store bought frozen crinkle cut… which is why they only got 4 stars. Otherwise, incredible experience. Tarama was so good it didn't make it to the picture :-D
I want to say, I went & bought two large chicken loose meat plates & came home & had pork meat. I was very disappointed. I called in & spoke to Alexia who was very understanding & offered to compensated me by Giving me a whole new order ( the right order) for FREE! I was super impressed. They never do that elsewhere. Thank you guys!

I ate there on Nov 6. Food & atmosphere were acceptable but the service was poor. I asked for the bill at the end & after a 15 minute wait at the table, I decided to leave & pay at the exit. My greeter was Kat; when I checked out, the server was busy chatting with her two colleagues - with disregard to other people's time. I was in a rush & couldn't find the $0 tip button, so I left an undeserved tip. Table 21, Client 1 Time in: 20:05:61 out:21:14:01 I encourage the management to have a chat with the server. As for me - I will try other places next time I am in the area.
Nourriture excellente, mon restaurant Grecque préféré & un service exceptionnel de tous les serveurs, & la tadziki est la meilleure que j'ai mangé, merci marathon Laval
