Au cours de sa tournée nord-américaine, la Superstar grecque Mihalis Hatzigiannis a découvert Melina Mammas, une jeune chanteuse grecque canadienne, fille de Lawrence Mammas, et a été invitée à dîner à La Belle & La Boeuf où il a été tellement impressionné par le groupe qu’il a proposé un partenariat pour apporter une cuisine authentique grecque Souvlaki, avec un concept Foodtastic à Montréal. Voilà que Souvlaki Bar est né, ouvrant notre premier magasin le 12 septembre 2014. Plus de 5000 personnes ont assisté à la grande fête d’ouverture où Mihalis et Melina ont joué à l’extérieur devant plusieurs fans heureux. Chez Souvlaki Bar : nous garantissons la fraîcheur et la qualité de nos ingrédients, d’où vient notre slogan : Je suis fresh.
Reviews consistently highlight Souvlaki Bar as a welcoming, lively spot with friendly, attentive staff and solid Greek fare, where portions are generous, prices reasonable, and dishes like chicken souvlaki, calamari, grilled octopus, gyros, and salads are repeatedly praised for freshness and flavor, while the atmosphere, decor, and fast service contribute to a positive overall experience, including takeout experiences that are efficient and food that travels well, and many guests return to celebrate occasions because the location offers an authentic Greek dining experience with good value; some visits mention occasional service lapses or a rude manager in a single instance, but overall food quality, portions, and consistency earn high marks and the vibe remains warm and inviting.
Unbelievable! Ate here for lunch, had grilled halibut, grilled vegetables, Greek potatoes & Greek salad. It was perfect. Dinner had Greek style chicken, Greek salad, rice, potatoes all perfect! Good use of spices. Everything served HOT by nice attentive waitresses! Just go!
Absolutely delicious! The salad dressing was some of the best dressing I've ever had. The pork was tender.the rice I would say was the lowest point of the meal as it was a bit oily/mushy. I still ate it all haha! Service for take out was impeccable - the waitress was so patient with us as we were trying to figure out what to order. Worth the stop for sure. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Popped in for takeout. The hostess was excellent, she helped us make our choices. The place was busy but I could see all staff was working efficiently, including the owner. Food was on point, great Greek salad.
Came in the other day with colleagues of mine for a goodbye party & sadly my experience wasn't up to par. At the start we had a nice woman ask if we wanted anything to drink yet (only two of us had arrived at the time) my colleague took something but I didn't (I hadn't really looked at the options yet). She brought us both glasses of water .Maybe 30 minutes/ An hour later , everyone arrived & another male server came to ask one of my colleague if she wanted something to drink (mind you she's in front of me) , I also wanted to order a drink but the man quickly left without asking anyone else if they wanted something.
For the next 30 minutes I proceeded to wait to get a hold of him (he was busy serving other tables so I understand). He even went to serve other of my colleagues for drinks, but I felt completely ignored. So I ended up raising my hand to get his attention & then he came & I ordered a drink, which was delicious btw. But then as this is happening everyone is also waiting for him , or anyone, to come take our orders. After another 30 minutes passes still no one comes so I end up again raising my hand to get someone's attention to tell them we are ready to order food.
Now as a vegetarian, I was saddened to see there wasn't that many interesting options, but I decided to try the gyro plate with pita. Inside was cucumbers, onions, tomatoes & salad + garlic sauce. Sadly it was pretty lacking in taste :/ there are many options of vegetarian proteins existing & none of them were used. The rice was good & the fries too, but yeah the food overall was lackluster, at least for me.
I'd say it wasn't a bad experience, but it definitely wasn't good either. I don't know if maybe in this restaurant you're supposed to get the waiter's attention to get things moving & maybe we were just not used to this, but I would have appreciated a more present type of serving.
Excellent service every time. Delicious chicken gyro salad. Generous portions. Good value. Good set up for small tables & big tables. One of the better restaurants in VSL.

I went here for a work lunch & it was a good experience. The service is very fast & the portions are big. There's nothing to complain about. I got the calamari gyro & it was delicious. The calamari was soft to chew. The fries, rice & salad on the side are also good. For 30$ a person, you will be full.
A perfect example of choosing to do less but doing everything you chose to do really well. The food here is classic Montreal Greek food. A tight classic Greek menu where everything on it is fresh & tasty. My favourite is the chicken Souvlaki Bar garden salad. The salad dressing is WOW & one of a kind. Love the Greek potatoes & the lamb chops. Service is as good as the food. These guys know how to run a restaurant.
When we first walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation by a pleasant hostess & seated right away, although we had no reservation. The table we sat at looked like it previously had a gkass of water on it that wasn't wioed away, which gave me the impression the table either wasn't clean or wasn't properly clean prior to us being seated. We ordered the calamari, which was a a disappointment it lacked flavor & & the fired texture was flat, not crisp. The 2 sauces the calamari came with tasted like no personality what so ever simply void of any good flavor. I ordered tge poate with 2 skewered chicken tge salaad once agakn the dressing was well lacking in flavor but fhe salad itself was fresh & crisp. The chicken, however, was delicious, full of flavor cooked perfectly. The service was good the waiter George was attentive & served us with a pleasant disposition. All the staff we encountered was very respectful & professional but their sauces need help.
I went there for lunch. I tried Greek meat balls. Very testy. With generous sides such as salads, rice, & Greek potatoes. Service was very professional, efficient, & quick. I thought the price was better than expected from a chain restaurant, 17 $ for this plate ... good deal in my perspective.
