Ordered for a backyard home party of 20 people
Chicken & Pork sticks, oven potatoes, rice , tzatziki, bread , green Greek salad (psilokomeni)
Everything was amazing
Strongly recommend if you are throwing a party & want to cater go to Panama.
The order was correct & on time & the food was delicious
Well packed in aluminum trays.
All guests were extremely happy with the food.
I visited with a friend for a late lunch/early dinner, & we were famished from our day's activities. While trying to decide what to order, the warm & attentive waitress brought us water, toast, butter, & lemon wedges. I wasn't sure about the lemon wedges, but the toast & water were a nice welcome.
We ended up ordering the fried calamari & two chicken brochette combos each. With tax & tip, the total came to about $120-$130 for two people.
The calamari was amazingly bland (yay for the lemon wedges!). Also sauceless-was that normal? I checked reviews & sure enough, photos showed calamari without any sauce. No cocktail sauce, no aioli, nothing. Maybe it's just me, my friend, & a lot of other people I've asked, but isn't a dipping sauce standard?
Next up, the chicken brochette combo. Not horrible, but what exactly was so'Greek grill' about it? The chicken was nearly white with a little pink, so it was juicy, but-where was the tzatziki? Isn't that a normal addition? The rice was forgettable, the potato was surprisingly fun to eat, & the salad-no feta.
All in all, disappointing. I had heard high praise for this place back in the day, but my friend & I quickly lost our appetites. Surprisingly, the kind yet unconcerned waitress didn't ask if anything was wrong-call me crazy, but that feels like a sign of habit. She just boxed everything up (expertly, I might add), & we ended up enjoying it later that night-with some Heinz seafood cocktail sauce & Kraft chicken BBQ sauce.

The food was incredibly disappointing. Compared to other Greek restaurants I've visited, this one is likely the worst. The chicken was fine, but the rice was overcooked, & the potatoes were soggy (how do you even mess that up?). The presentation was lacking, as seen in my photo. There was no tzatziki on the side, & no feta in the salad-everything had to be added separately. Given the price, I would definitely recommend going somewhere else.
It was ok. Nothing special. Was the first Greek restaurant I've ever been to where my chicken stick plate didn't come with tzatziki & the salad didn't come with feta cheese. I had to order a $10 side of tzatziki for my wife & I. Would I return, probably not with all the other Greek restaurant choices in the area.
Table of 8. We found the service slow as it took awhile to get a drink ordered once we were seated. There were only 3 menus given to our table of 8. sharing these was not practical.
Food was below your standard. Pork was very overcooked & tough to eat (left most of it on the plate). Shrimps were also over cooked. Appetizers were good, Potatoes were good as were the salads. Overall not up to the standard we expect especially for the price.
Very comfy settings & excellent Greek cuisine. Our go to is the souvlaki & then we split the grilled octopus, which is delicious & more than enough for two people as it comes with a salad & potatoes (also really nice flavours) when combined with the souvlaki. Very happy with the food & excellent service!
When you need your summery fix of Greek food head to Panama! Wait what? not Central America.
Rotisserie Panama on de Salaberry in the West Island.
We had Saganaki, Calamari, Tzatsiki, Greek Salad & crispy fried zucchini.
We also shared some roast lamb & grilled chicken! Accompanied by a nice wine.
The atmosphere is casual & authentic. The food hot & delicious, & the waiter was friendly & service quick rounding out the perfect evening.

Panama is our favorite Greek restaurant in Montreal. The octopus was perfectly grilled & tasty & the large chicken plate was excellent. The large Greek salad was pricey at $25 but the feta cheese portion was generous. The lemon potatoes were delicious. Great food but not for the budget concious.
Great meal at Panama - roast lamb & Horta were excellent. Salad was very fresh with crisp veggies & top quality feta & olives. Greek wine was excellent. We loved our meal & will be back for sure!
Grillades de viande absolument fabuleuses. Excellent service. Un peu bruyant, mais très festif. Avec une réservation, nous n'avons pas attendu du tout. Quelques plats ( salade ) un peu dispendieux mais vraiment fraîche & savoureuse. Très populaire, achalandée.
I ordered the shrimp meal with rice, potatoes & salad. The shrimps were ok, rice was cold, potatoes were ok & what they call salad was merely lettuce with no topping. It was not to my expectations.

I went to Panama yesterday for the first time. I ordered the grilled salmon, with rice, salad & potatoes. It was delicious!. Very tasty & the waiter was very nice. I will definitely be back soon.😊
Nous avons commandes des calmar congelé & pas tendre etven plus pas de sauce une première étant amateur de calmars. Souvlaki de porc trop salé. Pas mangeable le riz plein d huile pour pas colle j imagine salade verte plein de vinaigre . vraiment pas bon en plus le serveur trouve cela drôle malgré le bon pourboire que j ai donné je recommandé de pas manger a CT endroit
This restaurant had been on my wish list but disappointingly the meal was awful. We had the over-cooked Calamari, which is served without any sauce while they suggest you buy the tzatziki as a dip; we also had a bland, meagre Grilled Octopus followed by the most tasteless, peculiarly butchered, skinny lamb chops which were shaped like short, very thick-cut bacon slices. We also had the Baked Lamb, which didn’t look “baked” at all but was colourless & limp as though it had been boiled & it actually tasted “boiled”: So overcooked, soft, limp & bland that the meat was unidentifiable as lamb - no aroma, no flavour at all; like it had been boiled in plain water without any seasonings - just awful. The main courses were served with basic white rice, boiled potatoes & a salad that I don' remember. The service was acceptable. Needless to say, we won’t be going back.
I've eaten at this location approximately twenty times, always selecting the recommended fish plate. The seafood has, without exception, been "par excellence"! Always fresh, grilled to perfection & tasty. The mezze (appetizers) are, likewise, delicious. Most memorable personally are the grilled eggplant & zucchini; the Greek salad is always served freshly-prepared, & the Tzazkiki, while not my all-time favorite, is tatsy. By way of preference, I'm more partial to their skordalia.
The wine list is sufficiently large for a West Island restaurant, offering a great accompaniment to the meal. Service is always friendly, professional & reasonably swift, considering how busy Panama can get on a typical weekend. As with comparable seafood restos, pricing is certainly more towards the moderate end of the scale, but wholly within reason given the quality of the food.
We have dined at Panama's 2 locations & we usually love the food however tonight was my birthday & my husband & daughter asked were I wanted to go for dinner, Of course Panama's for their amazing service & food & also a wonderful ambiance.However I was very disappointed. We ordered the vegetable platter which was excellent,followed by a calamari for the 3 of us, this arrived horribly over cooked (it was rubber) when we told them we were told that it must be under cooked if it is rubbery. they took it back & replaced it with the same over cooked calamari. We then ordered souvlaki plates, & the lamb roast with a Greek village salad. The waitress then told us not to order the salad as our meals came with a salad. Well meals arrived no salad all the souvlaki was very over cooked. lamb was excellent. Waitress had forgotten.All in all this was a very disappointing Birthday Meal. I must say however that the last time we ate there it was 5 stars.Everything was perfect. So we will give it another try.
