In sum, Souvlaki Authentique is seen as a strong option for authentic Greek food, offering hearty meals, welcoming service, and a lively yet comfortable dining experience.
Souvlaki was all fat, very little edible meat to eat. Owner said'she deals with quality of meats directly' & she'is too busy'! I haven't been back due to lack of integrity.. highly don't recommend. Unless you enjoy a unfortunate surprise of pure fat trimmings hidden in pita wrap!

This Greek restaurant was amazing beautiful ambiance, really friendly service, & the food was so good I forgot to take a picture of my plate! I ordered the gyro plate (assiette gyro) & it was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh & flavorful. I'm already thinking about going back. Highly recommend!
Very good authentic Greek food.
The service is excellent.
Family atmosphere & decent prices.
I returned to this restaurant for a reservation my wife & I made on Sunday August 24, 2025 at 17:30 to celebrate my mother's in law birthday. & again, this restaurant's food, service, atmosphere & hospitality were outstanding. We were pleasantly surprised that the manager/owner came to our table to wish my mother in law a happy birthday & gave us a complimentary cake from the house to celebrate her birthday.
Our trip from Toronto to Montreal was worth it just by coming to this restaurant.
Highly recommended. Amazing people, food & service.
Excellent restaurant de souvlaki, très propre & accueillant. Le bol Hercules était vraiment bon & la portion généreuse. Belle expérience, je recommande!

I recently placed a takeout order from this lovely establishment & had a truly memorable experience. I was gifted a certificate by a former employee, & when I presented it, there was a misunderstanding that was completely out of the restaurant's control. Despite this, the owner handled the situation with incredible professionalism, respect, & compassion.
I've never found myself in such a situation before, but the way it was resolved left a lasting impression on me. The owner was courteous, understanding, & went above & beyond to make things right.
On top of that, the food was excellent-high-quality, flavorful, & prepared with care. She also took the time to accommodate my dietary restrictions, which I deeply appreciated. It's rare to come across such genuine hospitality paired with great food.
Highly recommend this place-I have so much respect for the owner & her team.
A great place for a light meal or a take out. Very clean & cheerful interior. Prices are very competitive & the food is plentiful & tasty.
Exceptional service with a smile. Limited alcoholic beverages, some are from Greece. No restaurant parking but street parking is around.
Highly recommended, will be back...👍

This is probably the best Greek restaurant in Canada so far for me. Firstly, I want to thank the lady working there. She is the light & sun there. Happy, engaged, smiling & welcoming guests. She makes a difference. & when you enter the restaurant, this white & blue design just creates the atmosphere of happiness. Some magic is there! I needed it today a lot! &, food - AMAZING! Potatoes, sauces, salads, Meat - everything is so delicious! Big respect to chef & people cooking for us! Highly recommend this place to everyone!
Ce restaurant est magnifique, propre. La nourriture est délicieuse. La proprio est une perle. J'ai jamais vue une proprio aussi investie au près de sa clientèle. Non seulement le service est rapide & la nourriture incroyable. Mais ce restaurant appartient à une femme au gros coeur. Super accueillante, souriante, polie & ce soucis de ces client. Je vous recommande x100000

I had a fantastic experience at Souvlaki Authentique in Lachine. From the moment we arrived, the owner, Sue, made us feel incredibly welcome & was an absolute delight to interact with. The souvlakis were incredibly tasty, full of authentic Greek flavors. We were also lucky to try a new dessert made by the staff, which was a wonderful surprise! I highly recommend Souvlaki Authentique for anyone looking for great food & a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!
Great Greek food for takeout but they also have a lovely seating area. They even have a high chair for children. I highly recommend the fried zucchini, gyro plate & baklava.
Exceptionnelle service vraiment exceptionnelle grâce à notre serveuse souriante Angelik le meilleur service que j ai eu dans un restaurant à Montréal. La bouffe est vraiment très bonnes l assiette pita au poulet est vraiment généreuse & délicieuse & les prix sont raisonnables je recommande fortement cette place.
I was looking for another souvlaki place in Lachine but by mistake my gps gave me this place & I decided I guess the stars in the sky wanted me to try it instead . The place is very clean & cozy & the receptionist was very nice . The food was good but I wish the souvlaki pits would have more tzatziki & unfortunately my potatoes & rice were quite undercooked but all in all it was decent. I think I will give it another try & hope it will be better than my first time but I do recommend people try it
