I'm a pure foodie I know good food. I also love Greek food so I've been to many Greek restaurants in this city. Hands down this restaurant is in my top 3 & we eat there at least twice a month. The grilled chicken is by far the best you'll get in Montreal. We always order it with a big Greek salad & a plate of rice. The food is fresh, the chicken is off the chain amazing & the service is very good. Definitely 5 stars.
All around a great Greek restaurant. Never knew how fresh, real feta cheese tasted until Nostos. Friendly, polite & courteous staff. Oh, one last thing ... Best pita souvlaki ever. 5 ⭐

Had not been there in quite awhile but always enjoyed it. This time around, it was simply OK. & not just my belief, no one in the group felt the food was memorable. Freshness was very good but gyro both pork & chicken lacked a memorable taste. Tzatziki was not strong at all. More of a sour cream taste. Service was good but a little long. Not certain I would visit again. Sorry
Hadn't been to Nostos in awhile & we regret it. Hands down best greek food in montreal. The porc gyro is perfectly seasoned. The tzaziki is so tasty. Their pita is not overly thick where you are trying to look for the meat. Well balanced proportionally in other words. The salad is tasty with fresh produce & quality greek olive oil. Oh & those who complain about the fries they are out of their mind. Also they make the best grilled chicken.

they got the freshest salad in all Montreal. Ofc i didn't take a pic. because its just house salad but man, All ingredients are crunchy the tomatoes 🍅, green peppers 🫑 ,Onions🧅 & the delicious olive oil & aromatic seasoning all DELICIOUS . order the big size. lamb chops were nice too . They only got porc or chicken gyros or sandwiches no beef tho.
My name is Nicolas! I ordered 3 Gyros yesterday & another 5 for take out tonight! Absolutely the "BEST GYROS" we've "EVER" had! They cut the Gyro meat with a machine, so the pieces are nice & small & crispy. They tasted so fresh & the whole Family was extremely happy with the choice we made! We are now "LOYAL CUSTOMERS" & will eat here again & again! Thanks again for a great experience...👍
Solid Greek 'eats'. It all tastes fresh. I can tell that they take great care in preparing the meats. I enjoy the lamb, chicken, various appetizers, & salads. I am not particularly fond of either the 'manager' or owner's daughter. She was a young lady (glasses) working the cash that day. She seems very moody, annoyed, & not particularly pleasant. She spends a lot of time talking loudly on the phone with complete disregard for the customers within the vicinity. Not very classy. Thankfully on that day we were served by a nice young gentleman. The 3 star rating for service reflects her impact on that day's service & not the actual service itself.
My apologies for ruining your dining experience. I must've been having a bad day. No excuses! Hope you still trust us to give you good food though. Come see us again I'm not always so moody.
The waitress was very rude. We asked for the gyro not to be well done, & to cut it fresh if it's dry, & her answer was "I can't go in the kitchen to see what they have. They won't do it, if you don't like it, don't order it."
VERY VERY VERY RUDE.
NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FROM THE MANAGEMENT AS WELL.
SO WE GOT UP & LEFT & WENT TO ANOTHER RESTAURANT.
