Across reviews, Pappou Souvlaki is described as consistently delicious with fresh salads and careful adherence to order notes, delivering authentic Greek flavors and solid portions at a good price.

The service is frequently described as friendly and knowledgeable, with staff explaining menu differences and accommodating pickup or dine-in when available. Some feedback notes the venue feels more like a takeout spot than a dining room, and a few visits mentioned issues such as rice that tasted microwaved, potatoes that were cold, chicken that could be dry, or a minor kitchen precaution lapse like a stray plastic piece in sauce. Overall, the reviews converge on high regard for the food and a reliable, affordable option for authentic Greek cuisine and regular orders, earning it a reputation as a hidden gem and a reliable choice for quick meals.
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...
THANK YOU FOR THE BEST SOUVLAKI! Grateful mom of 4 here. When I just can't make another dinner Pappou Souvlaki saves the day! Consistent, hot, fresh, delicious, friendly & so accommodating. Their pricing is amazing too. They really DO merit 5 🌟
Wanted souvlaki & a quick supper. Went to Pappou souvlaki. We were nicely greeted, & they do have a couple of booth so you can dine-in. It is mostly a take-out restaurant, but having the seats was nice. Had the small Gyros platter & my boyfriend the chicken souvlaki pottar combo. Both were very good. Service was nice, & we even had a course of the rule of cricket as it was what was shown on TV, & we had no idea how the game rules were. Our waiter took the time to explain it to us. Will go back for sure.
My photo doesn't do this place or its food justice. Quantity matches quality which is EXCELLENT! If you're looking for some excellent, FRESH & authentic made Greek food, *this* is your place! The people working here are equally AWESOME & I will be returning here as a regular 🤩👍👍
Update: going on to 3 years coming here, I don't know what some of the recent negative reviews are about, but Ahmad always takes care of his customers & *every* time I order, it's SUPERB. Thanks as always my friend! 😊👍 My only recent regret is I forgot to get some chicken gyro meat on the side 😋 Now I have an excuse to come back sooner for it
Showed up with wife 10 minutes before closing not knowing their hours. They sparked up the fire without any issues & provided us with amazing chicken gyros. Great service & delicious food!!!

Excellent food, I had the chicken stick pitas & fries, very delicious Greek Canadian fast food. I'm looking forward to trying the authentic Greek salad!
Papou Souvlaki truly delivers perfection with their Chicken Gyro Platter! The chicken was tender, perfectly seasoned, & grilled to juicy perfection, balancing a smoky char with bold Mediterranean flavors. The warm, pillowy pita & creamy tzatziki were the perfect complements, while the fresh veggies added a crisp, refreshing touch. The portion size was generous but not overwhelming-definitely worth every penny. Every bite was a burst of flavor, & you can tell they take pride in their ingredients & preparation. If you're craving authentic Greek food, this dish is a must-try! Papou Souvlaki is a gem.
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.
Great food, friendly staff & fantastic service! Definitely better than Souvlaki Bar! They can easily give Souvlaki Authentique a run for their money. Thanks again!
Had an amazing experience & I will be coming back all the time. I love my chicken souvlaki sandwich with the Taziki. It taste so good. I totally recommend even people who are vegan. They have vegan sandwich.
Best in Pierrefonds!!! Greek food is sublime!! My kids couldn't get enough! Service was great too. Owner was very courteous & friendly. A teapot customer for sure. I would recommend a million times.
