So I ate at this place several times 25 years ago... It was delicious, really really good food. The gyro was incredible & amazingly I read a few of recent critics & still is really good. To wrap it up this is amazing food & has been amazing for over 25 years!
We ate there last night, but unfortunately it wasn't up to spec. My companion ordered the chicken brochette plate & I ordered a gyro with salad & fries.
First the positive things:
It looks like tables have returned to the dining room, which would be nice on a rainy day. If you haven't been here, most of the service is takeout & delivery, or dining on the large terrasse when the weather is good.
The server was friendly & helpful & we received our meals quickly. The restaurant was bright & clean as always.
But,
The chicken brochette plate had overcooked, soggy rice, & the potato wedges were quartered, making them overly large. They appeared overcooked & my friend said that there wasn't much lemon seasoning on them. He said that the brochette, along with the rest of the grilled items, were warm, not hot, even though they were served quickly.
I can understand why food might be warm when it's takeaway, like Uber, but not when it's dine-in.
The tomatoes in my gyro were oversized slices, not wedges, but I was able to eat them with a knife & fork along with my salad. The chicken was somehow overcooked, yet not hot, at the same time, & was under seasoned. Parts of it tasted like it hadn't been carved correctly, with tough bits left in, then grilled.
The overall effect was of things that had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while, bland & overdone.
Being someone who would never send food back to the kitchen & doesn't want to make a fuss during dinner rush, I hesitated about writing a bad review.
I'm probably not their most frequent customer, but I didn't recognize anyone there last night. Are they under new ownership? If so, there are big shoes to fill, because it's a neighbourhood institution, but I really hope they can fix the quality issues, because I love this place & want it to succeed.
It was my first time back since the renovation in 2021. We were in a rush, so we called in our order ahead of time to dine in. Adrian was very courteous. We arrived a bit late, so he reheated our food to ensure it was served hot. We had the lamb gyro & the chicken gyro with fries. Everything was delicious, but I preferred the chicken pita over the lamb.
INSANE food at this restaurant, especially the gyro. I've tried a lot of gyros in Montreal & this one is super super juicy, tender & very flavorful. I'm also a big fan of their Alex Poutine (it should be in the list of best poutines).
The dinning area is small so it you can, take put of eat on their patio.
Soo gooood! I got the gyro & wooow ! I'm still thinking about it the next day lol the pita is soo fresh & so was the salad! We ubered it but I'll definitely be going back
