Souvlaki Bar specializes in authentic Greek cuisine focused on high-quality grilled meats and traditional Mediterranean flavors. The menu prominently features seasoned souvlaki skewers, shaved gyros, and tender bifteki, all prepared with signature marinades and fresh, aromatic herbs. Guests select from various platters accompanied by creamy tzatziki, fluffy pita bread, and crisp village salads made with vine-ripened tomatoes and feta cheese. The culinary approach emphasizes bold, charred flavor profiles achieved through open-flame grilling techniques consistent with classic Hellenic street food traditions. Practical side dishes like lemon potatoes and savory rice pilaf complement the protein-centric entrees served throughout the space. The vibrant atmosphere remains centered on efficient service and the consistent delivery of charcoal-grilled favorites that define the brand identity. Every component reflects a dedication to maintaining genuine Greek culinary standards within a modern and accessible environment.
Souvlaki Bar presents a mixed experience for diners, with many patrons praising the restaurant for its generous portions, flavorful Mediterranean dishes, and generally welcoming atmosphere. While several customers highlight the quality of the chicken, souvlaki, and appetizers as standout reasons to return, others have expressed frustration regarding inconsistent food quality, occasional cleanliness issues, and varying levels of service. Experiences with staff range from exceptionally friendly and attentive to inattentive or disorganized, particularly during busy periods. Although it remains a go-to spot for many seeking authentic Greek cuisine at an affordable price, concerns regarding service protocols, management responsiveness, and fluctuations in meal consistency suggest that the experience can vary significantly depending on the visit.
Sitting at the bar because the restaurant is full as it's a Place Bell event night, that's ok…. We accepted because we only had an hour to eat.
I order my plate, 1 chicken stick.
Find out that I can only the salad as a side as all other options have gluten. I ask the waiter if I can have all sides replaced by a HUGE salad. He said I will order the salad & the stick separately - it will come out at a better price for you. (Which I appreciated)
I took the time to ask if the salad was big. His answer was that it is big.
I was so disappointed when I received my 2 small plates.
You need to understand that when we can't eat gluten, we need food for us to be full.
Not a small salad.
The waiter did not come to see us at all to make sure was everything was ok. I understand it's a busy night, but we were sitting right in front of their working station.
By the time the waiter came, I mentioned how disappointed I was, he did offer to give me a bit more salad - but it was too late. I had finished my plate 5-10m ago.
Très déçue du Souvlaki bar de Laval que je fréquente pourtant depuis des années…
Aujourd'hui j'ai placé une commande à emporter pour le restaurant de Laval alors que je voulais celui de ville St- Laurent. J'ai réalisé mon erreur & annulé la commande in extremis. J'ai reçu la confirmation de commande pour le Souvlaki Bar de ville St-Laurent & suis bel & bien allée chercher ma commande (prépayée en ligne) à ville St-Laurent.
Deux heures plus tard, le restaurant de Laval m'a appelée pour me signaler qu'il y avait une commande préparée à mon nom que personne n'était venue chercher ( & pour laquelle ma carte de crédit avait été chargée)! Pourquoi avoir attendu 2 heures pour m'aviser de ceci? Personne n'avait réalisé qu'une commande traînait sur le comptoir depuis 2 heures?
J'ai eu beau expliquer au gérant que cette commande n'était pas passée de mon côté & que je n'avais reçu aucune confirmation de commande pour le restaurant de Laval, il a refusé de me rembourser pour un repas que j'avais annulé & que je n'allais certainement pas venir chercher… 2 heures plus tard!
S'il y a un problème sur le site en ligne qui fait que les commandes passent ( même après avoir été annulées) & qu'en plus, on ne reçoit aucune confirmation de transaction, ce n'est pas au client d'en payer le prix. Je comprends la situation du restaurateur qui a préparé le repas mais entre perdre une cliente récurrente ( qui amène amis & parents & donc de l'argent au long terme) & rembourser une commande qui n'aurait pas dû passer, il me semble que le choix aurait dû être clair… plutôt que la réponse offerte « how is that my problem ». & me raccrocher la ligne au nez n'est certainement pas une façon de me rallier à votre cause, monsieur! On repassera pour le service à la clientèle…

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Souvlaki Bar Laval, & it was an outstanding/amazing experience from start to finish!
To begin, I ordered the Loukaniko sausage appetizers, which were absolutely delicious- a great introduction to the meal.
Main course, I enjoyed the Chicken Souvlaki Plate, & it truly exceeded expectations. The chicken was tender & done to perfection - along with the salad which had an amazing salad dressing! Rice was amazing & flavorful!
The atmosphere in the heart of Centropolis Laval is vibrant & welcoming, making it an ideal spot for both casual outings & special occasions. The staff were friendly, attentive, & provided exceptional service throughout the evening.
Overall, this was an absolutely outstanding first-time dining experience here. I would highly recommend Souvlaki Bar Laval to anyone looking for authentic high-quality Greek cuisine in a lively setting. I will definitely be returning someday!
Le pire service du barman jamais reçu de ma vie ! J'ai fait la commande dans ubereats pour pickup puis j'ai changé d'avis. Je voulais manger sur place. Le barman me dit : c'est pas un pique nique ici. T'as fait pick up c'est pick up. Après il était comme :… bon okey tu veux t'asseoir ou? (Ilyavait 20 tables vides !…) bref j'ai dit: je vais manger dans ma voiture ! Puis j'ai pris mon paquet , & la , le barman m'arrête & me dit : t'as pas le droit d'emporter ça , c'est pas payé !!!! Je réponds: c'est déjà payé sur Uber eats. Il était confus & me fait perdre mon temps puis il appelle la serveuse qui est occupée à servir une table de clients. La serveuse dit: oh j'ai fait une erreur. C'est correct tu peux y aller .! Le pire service jamais reçu jamais vu !
They work very different from other branches. They charged me almost $3 for 1 small sauce when I paid close to 30$ for 2 souvlaki & 1 medium fries. No sauce comes with the food. Other branches accommodate their customers way better. No wonder there is barely anyone in this one. I do not recommend this branch.
My mom liked the Slovakia bar full of rice, steamed potatoes & the Greek salad with a hint of cheese & the Zara was very good. My family enjoys it. My dad too. My grandma & me would come again & would recommend to friends & family.
Poor food quality. We ordered The Bowl through Uber Eats, & this is what my plate looked like: $20 for half a container, barely any chicken, almost no rice or salad, & mostly onions. The food was soggy & very poorly portioned.
On top of that, the manager gave us attitude & offered no solution or compensation. We had to file a complaint with Uber Eats, & unfortunately, Uber refused to issue a refund.
Very disappointing experience overall. Never again. Happy New Year.
Nous allions souvent au souvlaki bar de Terrebonne qui est excellent, mais très déçue de notre visite à celui de Laval, salade noyer dans la sauce, brochette de porc avec beaucoup de gras, riz goût douteux & patate grec pas bonne. Pour mon conjoint même chose. Nous nous sommes forcé à manger une partie de notre assiette. Ce sera pour nous notre première & dernière visite à cet endroit.restaurant vide à notre arrivée, par la suite 2 familles sont arrivées.
