Overall a nice time out with my parents for lunch, but with a few flaws.... - Service: We were swiftly greeted and seated by the waiter who was very friendly. We decided to sit outside since there were a lot of tables available. Taking our order for drinks first, I got some Redbull, while my father ordered a refreshingly light beer, all of which arrived to our table in minutes. When it came time to order our food, quite a few items weren't available which was odd, but the food came pretty quick, so not much to complain about there. Rating: 4/5 - Food: Okay, here's where the rating is a lot lower for me. I've visited Souvlaki Bar many times but I wasn't impressed this time around with the food. First of all, after scanning my meal for 2 seconds, I found a short piece of hair resting against the pork in my wrap, which didn't bother me too much but come on, really? Anyway, after removing it from my food, I took a bite into the wrap which didn't have as much flavor as I remember. It tasted kind of bland but it satisfied my hunger. The highlight for me was the fries which were crispy and nicely seasoned. Rating: 3/5 - Price: The price isn't too bad for the portion size but I wish it tasted a little better.

My first time here. I have been to another location. The food seems consistent. People seem to love it here. I think that there are better options for greek food. We had friendly service on a quiet Wednesday evening. What throws me off were a couple of things. Their greek potatoes aren't very good. They seem boiled and then drenched in oil. Not what I'm used to. Secondly their beef souvlaki on a stick, are actually two over cooked burgers. Very disappointed on seeing two hockey pucks in my plate. The entrée was good (pink caviar). The pita was moist. I was expecting better since there is no lack of Greek restaurants in Laval. Best part was their terrace. Opa!!

Delicious Greek food, all your classics and familiar flavors in a trendy up beat environment. Went with a group and we ordered a bit of everything including the most expensive and supposed largest portion, "meat shovel" as the name implies it's a selection of 4 types of meat and a choice of sides served in a shovel. No complaints with the taste every single thing we ordered was delicious however the meat shovel was underwhelming for its size. At over 60$ that portion is meant to serve 4 adults but two people were easily able to finish it. Plus they were stingy with the rice, potatoes and tzaziki sauce. Each person only gets a tiny cup smaller than a shot glass. If you are expecting huge portions from the meat shovel, I don't recommend it because it is not worth the money. Other downfall is just concerning the seats, all chairs are wicker, so flimsy and light. If you opt for a booth, there are no cushions it's just solid wood so it's not a comfortable dining experience. Add that to the non stop loud blaring Greek music. Still a great place to check out if you're not fussy about your comfort! Fun bonus, they have a slush machine and make all kinds of alcoholic slush based drinks or you can just have it virgin of course :)

My favorite restaurant!!! I've been here easily 50 times with friends, boyfriend, or family and it has always been delicious! Huge servings, great price for what you get. There really isn't anything to complain about. Afternoons are rather quiet so service is really quick, evenings tend to be a little busier, especially when it's nice out so service takes a little longer, but that is expected. Everything always tastes great, nice atmosphere, drinks are good too, and waiters/waitresses speak English and French. They also have a promotion on Thursday's, mini pitas for 2$ (they're about 1/2 the size of a regular pita).

I've had Greek food plenty of times, but this is the first with someone of Greek decedents. Apparently this place is where all the young Greek gods and goddesses like to gather. The restaurant has a high ceiling, with a smaller second floor that is great for private parties and can look down onto the stage where there are singing performances in evenings. There are also outside seatings. We started with some dip platter, and I couldn't get enough of the taramosalata, which is made with fish roe. The shovel is what everybody orders here, a generous pile of food including sausage (loukaniko), gyros or skewers, burger (befteki). The burger and sausage both have oregano, mint and other seasonings that give them a "Greek" taste. This being Montreal, we have to order poutine. The Greek version of it, topped with tzatziki and feta, is delicious, and definitely one of my favorite versions of poutine. The tzatziki's tanginess is great to make the fries feel less greasy. They have a few Greek beers available, and we also ordered a frappe. Now, frappe as I know it, in the U.S., means a frappuccino, a smoothie-thick latte, but a Greek frappe is an iced coffee drink, made from instant coffee covered with a layer of froth that results from shaking the coffee in a shaker. Not the best coffee as it's made with Nestle instant, but hey give it a try if you've never!

Pretty typical greek place, I would say in the same range as Casa Greque, a little bit better than Vieux Duluth. The portions are huge. I had the fried calamari plate and my bf the pork gyro plate. Everything was good, nice dipping sauces. The meat was super juicy and tasty, not dry at all. The rice and salad are okay. Only negatives are that it was very very loud inside and it took almost 1 hour to get our food. But I don't blame them for that, it was peak hour with half capacity in these covid times.

A great "go to" restaurant for delicious comfort food. I love the big expansive atmosphere and traditional Greek colours. Meals are large so prepare to leave full or with a doggy bag. I've tended to order the gyro platters with fries and a Greek salad. It's filling and delicious. The Baklava is a Greek standard and it's a great dessert choice here. Add to it you are in Centropolis so in warmer weather you'll step out into a lively area full of restaurant patios with loads of activity. A good place to walk around and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere.

I have been here for business for a little over a month and am amazed at all the great food in this area, so I expected nothing less than the best and was not disappointed. The atmosphere was great and food even better. I'm sad I may not be in the area again anytime soon. Give it a try, you will not be let down!

Souvlaki bar opened up last year and located in the middle of Centropolis. We came here for lunch to celebrate a coworker's birthday. Despite my apprehension of prior experiences I had in restos located in Centropolis as well as precedent Yelp reviews of this establishment... I'm pleased to report my experience here was quite positive. We went with the gyro meat shovel plate (was that even a debate?!?) as well as with their greek village salad. The plate comes in two formats of dinner for 2 or 4. Four our group of 3, this was sufficient. The meats were very good and I enjoyed making my own pitas with the provided meats and dressing. I even snuck in a few crispy fries to make it authentic. Service was very good but the place was quiet for most of the service so I can't judge how efficient they are during busy hours. However Yanni was efficient and friendly. The price-tag is higher than average but then again you're paying for dining in Centropolis. I'd definitely come back and in fact.... it may come sooner rather than later!

I had the pleasure of eating here last week with a few friends, we heard about there meat shovel which gets a lot of buzz, so we decided to try it out.. it came with biftekia, almost like a Greek hamburger patties which was fantastic, chicken, beef and pork along side with a few pitas and choice of potatoes and of course tzatiki, and we also ordered the calamari plate, which was fantastic, the batter was light and crispy. Everything was great, I found the chicken to be a tad too oily but still very flavourful, I was pleased with the huge portion they brought to the table, it didn't disappoint. The restaurant itself has that old school Greek feel, a lot of blue and white everywhere, but still a sense of modern sleek design. The service was quick and friendly, I'll definitely have to come back and try a few of there other dishes and maybe a frappe or 2!

Came out here with a friend for a casual weeknight dinner. Like most places in Centropolis, the space is very large with high ceilings. There's some nice greek inspired decor mixed in with sports memorabilia and TVs playing the hockey game. I know it's meant to be casual and as the restaurant name implies "Bar"-like but personally i found the design a bit strange... Anywho, on to the food. At the recommendation of the waiter I ordered the 1/2 pound pork gyro plate with greek style potatoes and salad while my friend ordered a pita. I swear the order came out in less than 5 minutes! Don't get me wrong, I love speedy service. However I do believe it can be a bad thing to be too quick on service. Made me wonder if there are just trays of food lingering around in the kitchen... my plate was borderline warmish-cold. The gyro was tender but nothing too memorable. The potatoes were an oily and bland letdown while the salad was a sloppy mix of unevenly cut veggies drowned in what tasted like store-bought Kraft dressing. Honestly the main course was hardly better than food court fare. On a more positive note the dessert we ordered was the redeeming factor. A cross between a baklava and cheesecake. Satisfyingly sweet and perfect to share. Our server was attentive enough but often gave us a vibe of being in a hurry to clear our plates and make us leave. There were several free tables throughout the restaurant and it was far from being late (8 pm) so it did strike us as odd. If you're looking for a true Greek experience definitely look elsewhere. It'll do for a quick meal but I find Arahova and Marathon taste better.
