I was craving Greek food. I thought it was an authentic spot by Greeks. Portion are huge. Food is meh ok. The salad dressing is really sweet. The chicken pita was way too saucy. Rice isn't Greek at all.
I'm sorry for this review. I didn't get to taste the food. I tried ordering first in English, then in French, with two different employees.... I kept asking for the chicken plate with two skewers. They kept entering the wrong item.
They didn't seem to know their own menu, as they needed to be reminded that it comes with rice ...
They couldn't communicate sufficiently in either language (not looking for high fluency just enough to take an order). I tried ordering by pointing the the menu & placing it in their window...still didn't understand. They remained polite the entire time. I just couldn't spend more than 15 mins, carrying a toddler, trying to place an order.
It's really unfortunate to enter a restaurant excited to try the food & having to leave after trying to order food for so long.
FYI if you speak Arabic, you will be fine ordering. Unfortunately, we don't.
I read the reviews & the place seemed like it served good food however... When I brought our order home, it was another story.
The rice tasted as if it had been microwaved, the potatoes cold...chicken was dry. The only thing that was decent was the salad. I will not be returning...
Meat was amazing, lamb, beef, & chicken included! However, everything else was mediocre, fries were stale & bland, rice was dry & tasteless, & salad was lackluster. However, the main reason for my very low review was because of my dine-in experience. When my Mom & I asked for water we were told that they have no cups so they cannot serve us water. The person working then said you can buy water bottles to which I politely replied that the water should be free because they are not providing any other option. The person working was pretty rude & emotionless about it, stating that they are mainly a take out resto so they don't have cups. Regardless, if you have tables & seating, offer dine in, I'm pretty sure having free water is mandatory, but I'm willing to be corrected. Aside from the meat, because of everything else, I would not come again, especially when for the same price you can get bigger portions & higher quality overall from other spots in the west island. Lastly, the place reeked of cleaning products while somehow not being very clean at the same time.
Did an uber order for kids & me. Chicken, bread, fries all very good tasting. Person called to confirm order & was very kind & put cheese on the side which was much appreciated & didn't put onions in the salad. Thank you! Removed a star because there was too much salt on the rice. We couldn't eat the rice due to the excess salt.
Popped in for take out Heard good things & Wiooow! Delicious!!! & fresh!! Took the meal for two, rice, & meats so tasty & the sides yummy Also got a souvlaki trio, fabulous! Thank you Greeted with a smile, they treated my daughter so sweetly gave her a juice box for while we waited. We will be back.
Ordered many of their plates, absolutely delicious & tender meat, tasty rice, & fresh salad with delicious salad dressing. I've picked up from the restaurant & ordered home delivery, & both options offer a fast & friendly service. I highly recommend Pappou Souvlaki.
This is my go-to place for Greek food. The food is perfect everytime. I usually get a Gyro plate with salad & fries/rice. They get the perfect ratio of meat/tomato & Taziki for the gyro & the salad is fresh & crunchy. Most places I usually always choose fries as the side, but this place has amazing seasoned rice so now I usually go for that. The fries here are also great, with a crispy outsides & fluffy potato-y insides. The staff is friendly, & brightens my day every time I visit. The staff really has a passion for the food that you can taste with every bite. If you like Greek food, this place is a must go!
