Despite being a cash-only establishment with a lively, sometimes noisy environment, the overall consensus celebrates the restaurant as a reliable and affordable destination for a satisfying, classic meal.
A must try restaurant in Montreal. Fried Calamari is amazing with their signature sauce, Greek salad, fries, or rice plus toasted bread. Generous size & probably will feed two people. Prices are still fair. We live in Ottawa, & every time we go to Montreal, it's our first stop.
It was my first time eating Greek food, & it was a pleasant surprise. Their food is delicious, all the dishes were very tasty & well served. In fact, we could only eat the salad & the fried calamari, one of the dishes we took home, as we didn't have any room in our stomachs. The service is fast, efficient, & very good. Payment must be made in cash, so keep that in mind if you go there. They have an ATM available on site, in case you need it. It was a great experience & I will definitely go back there & recommend the place.
Belle atmosphere prix entre 20- 30$ situé à Montréal.Cuisine grec. À noté aucun réservation! Cuisine végétarienne. DESSERTE Baklava délicieux & frais.La salade grec très délicieuse aussi!
Toujours aussi bon , comme partout ailleurs, ils ont enlevé des éléments, comme les piments dans la salade grecque, rien de majeur mais j aimais bien , bon rapport qualité prix. Je vais continué à le recommander.
Came here for an early lunch while in Montreal. This place has quite the reputation so we needed to try it out - & happy we did ! We had heard they are famous for their calamari but we didn't order that dish. I had the chicken souvlaki with a Caesar salad. Chicken was cooked perfectly! The open gyro plate was a hit as well - contained both chicken & beef. Both also cooked perfectly.
Best Greek shrimp salad ever! Friendly, welcoming & nicely seated. Very nice atmosphere. Nice presentation & normal portions of food being served. Adequate quality vs price. Just carry cash, no credit cards. Thank you so much. Absolutely coming back.
A deliciousy fresh meal & a great amount of food for the price. Make sure to have cash because it is cash only. The money spent gets a lot of food. Pictured is the two gyro plate with fries & rice which comes with a big Greek salad (with the best feta I've had in Montréal) & three pieces of garlic bread. I also ordered their platter of the calamari. Other reviews raved about the calamari & I see why: it is lightly fried & it is the largest portion of calamari I've ever seen. This meal for $52 could have fed two people & there still would have been leftovers.
I think this restaurant has gone downhill. I also prefer the pre Reno woodpanel 60s vibe. Music was too loud, but that could be a personal preference. one of the waiters (not ours) was talking about personal things with other waiters using vulgar language which was pretty low class (I wouldn't mind that if it was some sort of hole in the wall greasy spoon but I'm spending a hundred bucks on dinner I want a little bit of professionalism ). The Caesar salad was pretty pathetic (maybe a 2 on 10) & they gave us the main meal a minute or two after serving the salad (which would have been an issue if we had wanted to finish the salad but in this case it wasn't). I would not recommend the loose gyro plate, i found the cut to be too thick but that can be a personal preference. The lamb chops looked good but passed on that when tzatziki was an $8 add-on. In retrospect I probably should have splurged for the lamb chops & maybe this would have given a better experience.
