Nostos

Went during rush hour, the place was quite busy and hectic. Ended up getting our order to go. The food was good, and the portions were huge. The Greek chicken was a highlight.

After the pandemic the quality of food here still the same. We love the bbq chicken and pork gyro meat plate. The rice is fluffy and well marinated. Calamaris is good. Our host is nice, service is super fast. Price is still reasonable and the portion still good.

This is one of the best greek restaurants I've ever been to. The quantity of food is insane, you never leave hungry. However, when you order calamari, they only give you a small pot of sauce which usually is not enough for 2+ people. I didn't get pictures of our entrees but they were huge and flavorful.

Great restaurant and service! We were bit concerned when the person at the front told us to go and find a spot anywhere we want, but the waiter came to us within 3 min. After ordering brought us fresh salads and garlic bread not even 1 min later. The meals very tasty and fresh. Pork souvlaki was a bit chewy, but chicken bit very tender. Parking is a bit pain in the front, so had park near the gym. However the place is easily accessible. We were there on Saturday evening and there were not many people, which is great to enjoy a night out. Highly recommended! Feels like Greece!

Went there a Saturday night. The service was really warm and nice. We had lot of fun talking with the waiter. The food was delicious too. We had the Greek salad, a whole chicken, pork gyros and a plate of rice. I have to say their portions are so generous. We eat a lot and we were all full and had a takeout baggy. Their meat was very well cooked. For example, the chicken was moist and tender while the grill taste was present. We didn't have the stomach to try their desserts but there will definitely be a next time!

My chicken fillet was cooked to the point of being a little too enthusiastic—let’s just say it won’t be winning any juiciness awards. The service moved at a pace that could best be described as “leisurely,” which was impressive considering the restaurant was more empty than busy. On the plus side, we became very well-acquainted with their bread basket—four rounds, in fact! At least the salad was a standout: crisp, fresh, and clearly the star of the meal. Not going back!

I like the environment and really good food. I highly recommend calamari fires and Greek salad. Their Greek salad is so fresh and yummy!! The service is nice and fast too. Lots of people seem to enjoy the food there :) might get a bit crowded but they try to keep empty tables between the tables :)

We had a delicious lunch at Nostos. The fries are so good and the portions are large. There is a lot of seating inside.

We were in the mood for some Greek food and this spot was a friend's favorite. A decent sized, split dining room and semi-busy on a Sunday afternoon around 5. When a Greek restaurant has my favorite dip -Tarama-it usually exceeds expectations. We ordered the Taramosalata and it was delicious. We tried Fix Hellas (Greek Beer) for the first time. Light and crisp Pale Lager which paired well with our meal. We weren't very hungry so we ordered the #14 to share and went for a combo of a Chicken and Gyro sandwiches. Seasoned Chicken and Gyro meat were delicious The side portions were huge so perfect for sharing. Side Greek salad, Rice & Fries were tasty. Service was attentive and friendly. By the time we finished, they were fully booked and busy. A hidden gem located in a small strip mall and serving up some authentic Greek deliciousness!

Service was great, prices were great for Canada especially Montreal. Pricing out here is outrageous and seven of us are for $125 not including the tip. Food is fresh and plentiful. Restaurant is large and clean can get a bit too noisy for me but doesn't take away from the food.

I'm really getting to like this place. Quick friendly service for lunch. This is important when you are in a hurry. Great side salad with fêta. Large portions which I bring home. I'm becoming a regular.

This place has been operating from this location since 2006 with a change in ownership in 2021. I hadn't been in about ten years, but the food was as tasty as ever.

Drool! We don't even live in the area and make the trek across Montreal to eat here! Their veggie souvlaki is the best I've had in all of Montreal. Their tzatziki isn't too garlicky and almost a little sweet even. There's something about their house Nostos salad that's addictive to me. It could be their creamy light dressing or just the freshness of ingredients. The fries are dark, golden and rich. A new favorite and yet another excuse to visit the East of Montreal!

I've always loved it here. I hadn't had the pleasure of digging into their spectacular grilled chicken on the bone in nearly a decade. The good news is that absolutely nothing has changed. The chicken is still epic! Cut into pieces, extremely juicy inside, beautifully seasoned, deep brown char on the outside, and served with lemon. What more could you ask for! We ordered the whole chicken cut up which was more than enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. We shared a large Nostos salad which is drowned in a rich and creamy dressing which is a guilty pleasure. Large platters of rice, a plate of tzatzikI and fries were also ordered, not to mention an extra gyro pita because I'm a bit of an animal and my eyes are often too big when I'm hungry. Little things like free baskets of delicious garlic bread go a long way in my book. You literally cannot leave this place hungry. We finished with a couple of baklavas which we all enjoyed, but certainly didn't need. These days, the price of food in restaurants has exploded, but thus far, I found Nostos reasonable to feed ( or stuff to capacity) a family of 4 for about 100$. It could have even cost less given the extra pita, a few beverages and desserts which were great but not necessary. Unless you live right there, it's a bit of drag hauling yourself out to Acadie blvd, but I literally have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. They serve humble food in large portions with extremely friendly service. That's 5 stars all day long!

Fast clean friendly staff delicious food large variety a must try! Great price s and great specials at lunch

Very comfortable ambiance and tasty dishes and generous portions with friendly service

Delicious! My favourite Greek restaurant! I have to say they have the best rice, and of course everything else is wonderful too. Best Tzatziki too

This place used to be one of our favorites. Unfortunately, new ownership did not maintain the quality. I ordered 2 chicken gyro salads. The veggies weren't fresh and the whole thing was drenched in an orange dressing. The bottom of the container was a swimming pool of this stuff and completely inedible. I wish the new owners had maintained the same recipe and quality instead of trying to cut costs. I'd pay $2 or $3 more for a quality meal.

We have been told about Nostos for many years . We finally decided to check it out . The staff is polite and friendly . My wife ordered the chicken stick which came with a Greek salad , rice and fries . The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly . I order the half chicken dinner which came with feel salad, fries and rice. The chicken was tender and was amazing . The fries were great. Fresh hot crispy and double fried . The only negative was that they do not serve Heinz ketchup . The waiter told me next time we come he has some Heinz ketchup packs in the back. We will be back as Nostos was sure a hit

It was my first time at this place and it will be my last time. We came here with a group of friends on a weekend. The place was busy and we got a table after 10 min. The waiter then took our order and then, the waiting started. We had to wait 20 min to get ustensils and water. We then saw that other tables had free garlic bread and we asked the waiter for some and he told us there were no more. It was odd because the table next to us just got a fresh batch. We then asked another waiter for some bread and we got some RIGHT AWAY...we then waited another 40 minutes for the food to arrive and they got my friend's order wrong. The service is just that bad... I know it's the weekend and it's busy but so are other restaurants and you don't see them messing up like this. As for the food, it was very ordinary. The calamari didn't come with ANY sauce at all and it was just so dry to eat that alone. The souvlaki was just ok. Nothing special. With all the other good restaurants in montreal, I definitely wouldn't come back here. The location isn't even convenient at all.

I haven't been to Nostos for a few years now but I was elated to experience their yummy food once again. The first thing I noticed walking in was that this place has been completely remodeled. I liked the menu and the murals. Very nice! I went with their Souvlaki pita as I remembered it being awesome as well as a side tzatziki. The first thing I noticed was that both tzatziki and pita had a few pinches of paprika? I will admit it was a first for me and I regularly eat Greek food at a variety of Greek restos. The good news is that I love paprika and it was ok. :) My major issue was the pita being on the slim side. That's a huge no-no for me. I'm used to eating pitas filled the the brim with delicious Greek ingredients and I felt I only got 2/3 of a pita but at full price! I also felt the pita didn't really stand out at all!! Usually when I finish my pita I always contemplate getting another but after this gaunt pita I couldn't care for another. The tzatziki was good and the bread that came with it hit the spot. The service was alright being neither great nor bad. Price-tag it was fair but with the average undersized pita it left me wanting more. Perhaps one day I'll come back and give it another shot but with so many great options in this area... that might take awhile!

I have been an occasional client for the last 5 years. This restaurant had won a Gazette best Souvlaki restaurant survey and I did find their quality was good.Waits were sometimes long, but I like it when my food is cooked after I order.. not reheated pre-cooked stuff. Unfortunately the restaurant seems to have changed owners ( different people behind the cash ) and the last time I ate there this summer, I could not finish the chicken stick. Dry, burnt , overcooked, the flavor was obliterated by oversalting and poor cooking. It seems they were focused on producing fast and the cooking temperature was probably too high or the chicken pre-cooked and warmed. Really inedible unless you are very hungry or don't mind poor cooking quality. Too bad... it used to be a good place to go to.

This place is my family's go-to place for Greek food. Old school, no fuss, delicious cheap beer on tap, and friendly waitstaff. The calamari are crispy, tender goodness, the sides are always great, even the greek Salad during the winter, and the meat is delicious. I think they might have the best Gyro pita and Greek style grilled chicken in town. The Gyro is a delicious mix of meat on a spit with tzatziki, and tomatoes and the bread is a fluffy concoction. The Chicken is juicy, tasty, and full of flavour that goes great with the tzatziki, which is amazing. Highly recommend it if you are in the neighborhood and hungry for Greek food.

I had a great experience eating a casual lunch at this simple family-style grill spot. The server made me feel at home with her friendliness. For starters it was the Greek salad that was vibrant with colours, they made it so inviting. Let's not forget the hot peppers. The tzatziki is a must have. It is creamy and loose in comparison to other Greek restos. Served with pita my palette was one happy camper. Ordered a whole chicken that is grilled and full of spices. I think of myself as a chicken connoisseur and it was to perfection. It was juicy with plentiful flavours. A definite return to explore more from this menu.

This is our go to family style Greek restaurant. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. I loved - I mean love, the grilled chicken, freshly cooked before serving. All the sides are perfectly made for a great meal - Greek salad, rice, French fries. This place is always busy because of the great taste and value. Make sure to reserve or come early to be seated.

Chicken pita soooo delicious. Calamari also good. Nostos salad not bad. Worth come again. I ordered too much per one. One pita and salad is totally enough for a girl.

We visit Montreal 2-3 times a year to see family and every trip involves dinner at Nostos. Everything is fresh and delicious and my kids can't stop eating the chicken. The salad, tzatziki, fries and whole chicken are all gluten friendly and I've yet to get sick in 10 years of eating here. It's a little out of the way from central Montreal but well worth the trip.

This is a good family run Greek restaurant. They expanded a while back and have a decent size sitting capacity for those interested in eating there. It's a casual family style place, not exactly the place I'd bring a date. As some have said attitudes can be hot and cold at times, but hey what do you expect... it's their place and they'll run it the way they want.. the have the food to do the talking for them right. What's good: I personal go for the souvlaki plates, however the chicken does seem to be a popular dish. What's not: No delivery : ( this place is just down the road from me, but if I want to eat here I either have to eat there, or go do take away. Personally I'd much prefer to support local family run business like this over big chains any day.

My mom loves to eat Greek food so when we decided to take her out for dinner we decided on Greek. We wanted to try a place in Laval but it was closed so we drove to Montreal since I've heard good things about Nostos. I have to seriously question the taste buds of my family and friends since they suggested it. We get there and its a seat yourself place. That's fine. We find a table that seats 3. Our waitress comes up and asks if we'd like a beverage. We all declined. We get the menu and decide on a calamari plate to split between the 3 of us. The calamari was perfectly cooked but under seasoned. That is fine as well. I can add my own salt. Nothing wrong with that. Mom orders - Gyro plate Sister - Chicken Souvlaki plate Me - gyro souvlaki plate My mom's plate was a bunch of meat, rice, salad, and fries. There was no tzatzaki served with the plate of meat, nor pita bread. This is unheard of. Name a greek place where you have to order pita and tzatzaki separate when ordering a gyro meat plate! Fries were disgusting. Salad was okay.Mom thought the gyro meat had a weird taste to it. Sister's plate. Chicken was bland and tzatzaki had freaking paparikia on it. Who does that?! You want a splash of color try adding a black kalamata olive or something. My plate - the fries were disgusting. They should consider changing their oil a bit more often or lowering the heat of their fryer. I agree with my mom, the gyro meat was off. There was a weird taste to it. I personally loved the salad but wish the portion was bigger. If I were to ever go back I would ask for no fries and double salad. When our waitress came to ask if there was anything else she could get us I tried to order a souvlaki pita to go. The waitress tells me the kitchen is closed, at 8:58pm. Now here is my problem with this... 1. If the kitchen was closed why did you come ask me if there was something else I wanted? 2. If the kitchen is closing and you have customers don't you think you should notify them of the fact that you are closing so that they can order? 3. Who closes a kitchen before 8:58pm. She said "Sorry the kitchen is closed already..." I wouldn't go back. Everyone seems to like the chicken so if someone were to bring me chicken from there they might change my mind but for now, I won't be going back.

This restaurant located in front of Marché Central is one of the best for Greek food in the area. The staff is really friendly and the service really fast and efficient. I recommend pretty much everything on the menu. Especially the Pork souvlakis. The meat is always well cooked and tender. A bit too much sauce but obviously you can tell them to go easy with it. ;) The ambiance is always great. Lots of families and children so maybe not the place for a romantic dinner. ;)

Best Greek style grilled chicken in the city. Get a big group together, order a full chicken or two and all the trimmings and hate yourself for eating too much after. The fries here are fantastic and even taste good microwaved the next day on the rare occasion you'll have leftovers. The tzatziki is nice and thick and probably on the more garlicky end for these kinds of places. The staff is always nice and courteous whether you're dining in or ordering takeout. Everything here is great. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Solid Greek fair. The meats are delicious and well grilled and their food is not drenched in oil as opposed to other Greek options. However, don't expect much variety... their menu is a little limited if you compare it with the competition but what they have on it is definitely well done. Special mention for the yummy fries. The service is a gamble... sometimes friendly and sometimes not so much... Mind you, I have never had a bad experience to the point of not going back. If you are in the area, it's a very good choice.

One of the best greek restaurant Ive went to. The grilled chicken is really good and the souvlakis are filled with tzatziki sauce. I go all the time with my family. Theres a lit of onions in the souvlakis though, so beware. Really good!

Food : the food is okay. Nothing that blew me away in terms of taste - but does deliver. I might be biased due to the fact that my boyfriend is Greek and I've had the chance to eat at other Greek restaurants. I never review based on price, but a lot of people seem to take that into consideration. Yes it is inexpensive - but there are many others with the same prices but better food. Service : very good service, nice wait staff. Decor : very quaint. Cute greek touch without overdoing it. NOTE : i would probably look into renting the place for larger groups. Yes I recommend this place.

Met my brother and an old friend for a quick casual lunch there a couple of days ago. We shared a Taramasalad, a Village Salad (large), and 1 chicken cut up in pieces bone and all and cooked on grill with great spicing. Everything was fine, but this is not a gold standard. This is a nice casual lunch, even a nice place for a nice family dinner. Nothing gave me the WOW factor although the chicken is excellent, but then there are other dining options in Montreal with better chicken (Daoud, Panama, Shish Kebab). The salad was good, and the great was garlicky and plentiful. I don't know why they don't serve pita it would be more in line with dipping in the Tarama, but that is their way. The service was prompt and pleasant, and the coffee and baklava both fairly good. If you are near Central Market in Montreal its worth a try.

First time that I ordered, took 1 hour and 40 minutes. Obviously the food was cold and mushy. In a city with so many restaurants = competition the service should be much better. This one is scratched from my list.

Holy Amazeballs Chicken! I had always thought my favorite restaurant chicken was Barbuto in NYC, but this wins. Very different, but winner winner... Also, by far the garlickiest (that's a word now) tzaziki I've ever had. I'm vampire-proof for a good week from that plate. Everything else was good - really liked the gyro platter and greek salads as well. Yummy fries (like only Montreal can deliver - what's up with that?) Well-priced, good service, etc.

Portions are much smaller than they used to be. Left wondering if they ran short of food supplies but it looks more as if they are skimping on portions. Fries are horribly greasy and sweet tasting - definitely not the best quality potatoes. Waiters are a bit hyperactive and somewhat careless. Not sure why people brag about Nostos food (particularly the chicken) really!? - I have had way better elsewhere. Will not return anytime soon.

Good Greek food. We always get the roast chicken and French fries and various salads. Food is plentiful and tasty. A bit short on customer service...but then again it Is reasonable. I guess you can't have it all

Newly renovated, Nostos is the benchmark for grilled chicken. That's were the story ends. Other dishes need work. Gyro plate is served without bread. Our tsaziki was compromised of 50% fat and fries are under cooked soggy and greasy. Calamari served plain without any sauce. Fries should be blanched instead of cooking once. Salads lack dressing and flavour. Service is prompt and courteous. A family restaurant which is priced right that needs some menu refinement.

Some of my favorite, affordably priced and super tasty Greek food in the city! The Gyro, Chicken and Tzatziki are so delicious. The house wine is affordable and wonderful too.

Best greek resto in Montreal! I definitely would recommend their grilled chicken or their gyro pita. Also, the Greek salad is amazing. :) Sometimes there is a line up, but definitely worth the wait ! I always bring my friends here , and they never leave disappointed!

Fresh, Well priced, Delicious. First place I visit when I go to Mtl. Best Souvlaki and Chicken in Montreal, hands down.

Came here on a Friday night. Had the calmar, half chicken and gyro pitas and the house white wine...all were amazing! Maybe a bit too much sauce in the pita but no biggie. Cost 65$ in total and we were beyond satisfied. Friendly service too, highly recommended for a cheaper night out.

It's crazy to think anyone would go here and not try the chicken. It's cut up into strange pieces (not the 8 typical pieces we think of) but, My GOD it's good. I'm going on the record as saying the chicken is the BEST I've ever had. Tzatziki is excellent and so is the Donner. I tried everything on the menu and the only things I didn't like were the rice and spanakopita. Also the décor is typical tacky Greek, like most good Greek restaurants. Cheap and filling! Can't go out afterwards because of all the garlic.

I'm not very familiar with Greek cuisine, but overall I liked it. We ordered family style with Greek salad, yogurt dip, fries, and their bbq pork. The salad was very light, had a nice balance with the fatty Greek yogurt. The meat was flavorful, but as it started to cool, the meat started to harden. I like this place, keep up the good work!

Not a bad place to come for a greek lunch. I would not choose it has a dinner place. It's a sit down fast food type restaurant. The chicken is always really dry, but the potatoes are really good. Service is on and off good and bad. depends who's working and what days you are there.

We just picked it as we drive by. Only had time for a quick lunch before a sales appointment. Service was great, food was really good. Not from this area but I would love to try dinner there. High marks.

The food is good and cheap. Usually for around $12 you get a gyro, greek salad, rice and fries and it's very tasty.

Really like it here. Love the chicken souvlaki. The calamari is a hit-or-miss because sometimes the squid is tough. This is a great casual place to go to for a good price. Service is hit or miss as well. Would recommend to anyone wanting a good tasty meal. They also do take out!

Really good food and always give you plenty to fill you up , sometimes meat can be a little bland , but other than that really good experiences

Authentic gyros, food is fantastic and reasonable!! Family type restaurant.

The waitress was very rude. We asked for the gyro not to be well done, and to cut it fresh if it's dry, and her answer was "I can't go in the kitchen to see what they have. They won't do it, if you don't like it, don't order it." VERY VERY VERY RUDE. NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FROM THE MANAGEMENT AS WELL. SO WE GOT UP AND LEFT AND WENT TO ANOTHER RESTAURANT.
