We love Nostos! The warm welcome & speedy service make every visit a pleasure. The pork pitas are our favorite, the pork is well-cooked & the tzatziki is simply delicious. The fries are perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside & soft on the inside, with a slight sweetness. The small side salad & bread are a lovely addition. If you're looking for a good Greek restaurant in Montreal, don't hesitate to try Nostos, you won't be disappointed!

To be honest when i heard of this restaurant many years ago, i wasn't expecting much & thought it was all hype. I WAS WRONG. The calamari is excellent as-well as the very popular grilled chicken.This is single handedly the best culinary experience Ive had the pleasure of experiencing.The staff are very fast & friendly. Everyone is very friendly & multilingual.
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
Good Greek food, & pretty consistent. We had a party of 25 people recently & only one waitress for us & other tables too. Not her fault felt bad for her & she did her best always pleasant. The 3 stars on service is more for the restaurant who should have had more help for her & a backup plan knowing a big party was booked. Other than that it's a good place & I would go back.

Excellent customer service, their espresso is very good! ☕Thank you for the nice experience! 👍🏼😉 Update 3 years later: still highly recommend it! Went for a takeout, chicken souvlaki Brochette plate, very tasty, big portion shared within 2 person, Still a great ambiance, excellent customer service, very nice, friendly, helpful too. Food hot, exact order.
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.
Went there for a family dinner. First time but food was really good. Service was great. Took Chicken Gyro pita, Calamari entree & a side of Taramosalata (best I've ever had). Was pleasantly surprised. Would go back. Recommended!
