I'll give it 5 stars to be nice but I could see how it can easily be a 4 or less for many. Overall it's fresh, decent but safe & boring. It'll be Average to slightly above average for most I gather. The pikiliaa entree came with 2 slices of garlic bread, which isn't enough to enjoy the taramosolata, kopanisti. Feta etc
The gyro pita was a bit skimpy but nice, the tzatziki average. The fries are marathons style which are good.
One of my favorite Greek places! Staff always friendly & welcoming & the food is delicious! I love the chicken skewers & the garlic bread they give with the meal. A must try for anyone in the NDG area :)

Avoid This Place: A Masterclass in Culinary Disappointment
I've had my fair share of takeout, but my first & absolute last time ordering from Villa du Souvlaki was a genuine disaster. I placed a pickup order for a Hero & a Double Chicken Souvlaki platter, & honestly, I would have been better off eating the receipt.
The'Hero' (If You Can Call It That)
The Hero was a joke. It was undersized, lacked any real flavor, & was bone-dry. There was barely any sauce to speak of-just a sad, bland sandwich that didn't live up to its name in the slightest.
The Double Chicken Souvlaki Platter: A Tragedy
The portion size was the only thing that wasn't a total failure, but quantity doesn't matter when the quality is this offensive.
The Chicken: I've chewed on more flavorful napkins. These two sticks were incredibly dry & completely tasteless. I'm not exaggerating when I say cardboard has more flavor than this meat.
The French Fries: They clearly use the cheapest frozen fries they can find. Limp, uninspired, & tasted like freezer burn.
The Salad: This was a collection of'old' ingredients. The tomatoes were mushy, there was a'whisper' of cucumber, a tiny bit of onion, & a dressing that tasted like absolutely nothing.
The Garlic Bread: Stale, dry, & apparently the chef is afraid of butter.
The Verdict: I literally couldn't eat it. After a few bites of trying to find a redeeming quality, I gave up & threw the entire meal in the garbage. What a massive waste of money & a total disappointment for a Montreal staple. If you're looking for a decent meal, keep driving. 0/5.
Update Mar 2025: Gyros pita meat was too salty to my taste. Pork pita meat was tender & delicious. Maintenance deficient: worn out baseboard heaters with pitting rust need to be replaced or at least repainted. There was a suspicious large accumulation (6 in x 1 in x 1in) of dark floor dirt against the western corner of the electric heater under the large main window. I struggled to finish my meal after seeing that.
2024: Have been returning for decades to this restaurant for their (2 marinated grilled pork brochettes) souvlaki platter (with fries & greek salad). Very satisfying with a softdrink. Parking can be difficult on narrow Prud'Homme or on busy Sherbrooke W. Sherbrooke exit of Autoroute 15. Order at the counter & sit at a table. Simple service.
Villa Souflaki is an NDG institution that has been here since the 70's. We are regulars here & love the authentic Greek cuisine This quality fast food always satisfies, the doner is fantastic, the porc, chicken sticks & fries are always spot on. Friends come into town & ask, can we go to Villa? If you have not tried this place, it's a must.
