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.

Fresh Greek fare, delicious feta, gyros. Kings menu offering pita or rice- healthy options.
Unfortunately the lunch menu takes over an hour for salad & gyros. Wait staff didn't offer us neither the drink nor the dessert offered in the menu. Very disappointing.
Always consistently good food. Their Gyro is what we have all the time. Delicious!!
What disappointed me is they stopped serving 1/2 litre wine. Now you're forced to order a bottle if one glass is not enough, hence the 4 stars & not 5.

Nous étions curieux d'essayer ce Souvlaki Bar, mais malheureusement, la qualité n'était pas au rendez-vous. Les calmars frits étaient trop épais & caoutchouteux, le poulet entier manquait de jutosité, & même les pains gyro étaient secs. Le tout donnait une impression de plats préparés sans soin. Le service, lui aussi, a été lent, & ce, malgré un restaurant presque vide & une équipe nombreuse en salle. Honnêtement, une grosse déception comparée à l'emplacement de Brossard, où la nourriture est beaucoup plus savoureuse & le service bien plus efficace. Je ne pense pas revenir à cette succursale.
Great Greek food at Centrpolis Laval. We've been coming since they first opened.
Their Greek potatoes & gyros & souvlakis are delicious.
They even have lunch specials which iare a great deal. We had the chicken pita trio, which came with a drink & salad, & the meat shovel meal for one. Mixed chicken & pork gyro meat is presented in a small shovel with Greek potatoes & pita, & a huge portion of salad.
Great ambience & very spacious, with a terrasse & an upper floor.
The food was good overall. We ordered the gyro bowl & the pork gyro plate. The gyro bowl had too many onions, & the portion sizes were a bit too large. Unfortunately, the drinks were terrible. We tried the jardin de gin & the Greek mojito. The Greek mojito was okay but had an overpowering licorice flavor. The jardin de gin was undrinkable, lacking the sourness needed to balance the sweetness, making it overly sweet & unpleasant. The service was even worse. We were seated & then forgotten. We had to flag down a waiter, & while the food arrived quickly, the drinks did not. With only about eight tables occupied, most either already had their drinks or weren't drinking, yet we had to get up & remind the staff about ours. Overall, while the food was decent, the drinks were disappointing, & the service needs improvement.
Was not impressed! We got our main order before our starters . When we got our beer, one beer wasn't cold at all, had to ask to replace it. I ordered a chicken Gyro & it was chicken cubes in my pita & because we got our main course first & starters after it got cold sitting on the table while we finished our starter. For the exception of the calamari I ate, everything else was average. For 150$ I would have expected something better.
