Reviews of Yia Sou Greek Grill (Restaurant)

EL

Amazing traditional Greek dishes. Real olive oil, real Kalamata olives. You get what you pay for and then some! Staff was professional, swift and friendly. We will be coming again, thanks.

Sara Khoury

My friends and I had the pleasure of visiting Yai Sou for a Saturday lunch. It was an impromptu visit, my friends had visited before and highly recommended it. They weren't wrong. The menu is jam packed with mouthwatering Greek dishes, and all seem to come with a choice of salad. I opted for the moussaka with a Greek salad, and I was not disappointed. Everyone had main dishes with salad, and we enjoyed a bottle of red wine and some beer. For the 4 of us the bill came to CAD170 with tip. That's slightly pricey, but well worth it. There is no question if I will be back again or not, that's a firm yes!

Vincent Picard

The place and the food was amazing! My compliments to the chef! Warm welcome and felt well in hand, 20/10 would go again

Gaitree

Main course meal was delicious I had grilled chicken and shrimp can’t go wrong with it. The Baclava too sweet for me .The atmosphere was nice though packed on Friday Evenings

Darlene Holmes

I love love love this restaurant. I have been there several times in big groups and small. I have recommended this place to several people and they feel the way. The food is fresh, homemade, and well seasoned is why you leave planning the next time you will be back. From the salmon, steak, calamari etc you can't go wrong with your choice. The ambiance and employees are superb! You will NOT be disappointed if you dine here.

Yia Sou always provides a great atmosphere. The restaurant is great for girls nights, date night and so much more. The food is always quick to arrive, plentiful and delicious. Endless pita is such a great touch. We often order several smaller plates and share the spread the covers the table. Friendly staff provides great service and I’ve always left happy!

Thanasis Kaldis

Tasty food, friendly and welcoming people. Recommended!

Shadash Joubert-Dauphin

First off the waitress was the best! Second the food is delicious, flavourful and good quantity to my opinion !

Ashley Jiang

Been there twice. First time was there for supper on birthday with family. Fried calamari was literally THE BEST I’ve had. But main course - chicken with jumbo shrimp was a big letdown. Chicken wasn’t marinated well so it’s bland. The second time we only ordered appetizers. Fried calamari was ok but not as good. Trinity spread wasn’t good.

Marlene Roseman

Long wait, almost 1 hour before food arrived. We were a large group but restaurant was not busy at that time. Most really liked their plates; however my chicken slices (ordered with salad) was overly dry. Heard lamb sticks were very good. Perhaps will give it another visit.

Zachary Zoldan

Delicious local eatery with generous portions. Great service, good for a weekly visit. 5/5 would eat again

Reveena Rothman-Rudnicki

Such good value and really delicious food. We shared two veg pitas and the fried zucchini and left STUFFED. Wait staff and busboy were lovely.... can't wait to go back.

Axis Syaxelian

Excellent food! The staff was polite and helpful. The food was quite amazing! Appetizers and main meal alike, expertly prepared into not only looking the part, but tasting wonderfully good as well. Thank you very much!

Delicious wraps. I live in lasalle and travel here all the time for a nice souvlaki chicken wrap

Khoa Nguyen

Very nice Greek restaurant. It felt very authentic with the decor and music. All the food was well seasoned and the portions were also quite large granted the price was a tiny bit hefty.

Pavlo Zabigailo

Grilled lamb chops are incredible, cheesecake baklava is also highly recommended.

Seyed M. Tabaie

Very delicious chicken and cooked and seasoned very well, nice service, fair price as compared with the quantity, but it can be less. Dark ambient and a little noisy

Peter Schmidhofer

Great place, food and staff. Ask for Chris.

Javon Cunningham

I celebrated my graduation this evening in this great restaurant. happy to tell that it was a incredible evening and the venue was surely the reason for that successful event. The stuff helped in a gorgeous manner, the food was extremely good and my guests were extremely glad. We shall no dout visit again for more celebrations. thanks very much.

Stephen Samuel Lal

Best place to eat Greek cuisine. Superb place????????

parastu kadkhodaei

Its one of the best greek restaurants, we had a very good experience there. All foods were tasty like their photos. Stake was coocked as much as we wanted. Salad was super delicious with handy sauce. Kalm and enjoyable space with good greek songs.

Brian O Connor (BrianO)

We loved everything. Friendly staff, the comfortable large sitting booths and tables. But most impressive was the food. Large portions on streaming plates. What's not to love??? The Pikilia plater was outstanding. Calamari was wonderful. Thanks for a great evening. Looking forward to going back.

Greg Domagala

This place was disappointing on so many levels. First off, the service was very slow and disorganized. Secondly the prices for the quality and quantity of food and drink are not at all comparable to their competitors. The food was ok without being spectacular. The drinks felt watered down. Will not return and cannot recommend. The only positive is the decor which is very nice. Too bad the food and service don't match up.

Linda A

Yia Sou is my favorite & go-to Montreal restaurant for amazing, delicious Greek cuisine. Best octopus, grilled sardines, gyros, brochettes & so much more. Lovely atmosphere filled with Greek music, lots of booths & tables plus an outside deck I enjoy sitting at every spring & summer. The service is excellent as everyone is so friendly and attentive olus prices are reasonable.

Lev Berner

Disappointed. Yia Sio has been out go-to Greek resto in NDG for years but we just came back to it post-pandemic. We ordered the cold pikilia for delivery. All 4 dips were in the same container, so became all mixed together (and it didn’t help the delivery guy was sprinting down the hallway). The red pepper and feta dip was way too spicy and just tasted of raw garlic. The bean salad was in it own tipper ware but the whole outside was covered in oil. For what we paid, we are just left unhappy. Mostly of the flavours were as we remembered, but the rest has us thinking we may have to move to. A new Greek go-to.

apostolos komvopoulos

Good service. Meat, chicken, salad, calamari were good. Zucchini was unsalted.

Mikael Bauer

Good quality and enormous portions. Nice interior. We had nice cocktails and great appetizers.

M S

Delicious place. Highly recommend.

Krystal

Along with being a spacious restaurant, with an excellent menu. They have the BEST PITA that I've ever tasted! It was lightly fluffy with great texture.

Murray Statner

A gem...A really good Greek restaurant. Excellent service and reasonable prices from the lunch menu. The Yero platter was especially tasty. Had to leave half of it on my plate as I couldn't finish it. Would definitely go back.

E O

Nice ambience. Fantastic lentil soup. Big portions. Tasty potatoes. It's one of my favorite Greek places. A tad on the pricy side but I guess that's why it's so damn good.

Juan Pablo Mo

Good food well priced, and the service was quite fast. :) Took a table d’hôte and wasn’t disappointed. will come back as a big group next time.

Olivier Labrie

Much better than expected.

Charlotte Morizet

Great food and services !

solstice Canada

Authentic Greek food. The price is adorable for the quality and generous portion. Lamb chops is the best I had in town. The seafood plate is a must try too.

Michael Vidakis

Amazing chicken gyro Mixed grill platter is also great Good rib steak

Sara Shadnoush

I ordered assiette de poulet it comes with rice salade and fries it taste great we sat on terrasse which was great too

Amru Salahuddien

Food quality was very good, would give it an overall of 4/5, avoid French fries and get Greek potatoes instead. Portion is quite sufficient. Unfortunately I didn’t get the name of the gentleman who served us, he was professional and friendly. The place is a bit pricey though, comparing to peers -Marathon for example-, but the food quality makes it worth it. The atmosphere was pleasant, Greek folk music in the background was lovely. We were there in a very quite time, 3:40 pm, I guess to make a kind of 100% solid review our next visit should be on a busier/rush time.

Manyakus

Cozy greek restaurant. Delicious plates, quick service, and price very reasonable. I approve!!

Ehsan Kia

The service was great and the portions were large, but the food was honestly underwhelming and overpriced. The fries and rice were almost inedible and the meat also tasted bland. Their Caesar salad was also pretty naked, and the Tzatziki was nothing to write home about either.

Beash Oh

Fantastic place. Good food, good service, good prices. I love that my glass of water never once reached empty, same for the whole table. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 is because of the very dim lighting. It would be nice if maybe the portion of the restaurant near the patio was brightly lit while the rest stays the fun mood lighting it is. Definitely going back, but probably only if there is space on the patio, just to dark inside.

Santoro Productions

Amazing authentic greek food. Ate like a king!

Xena Wang

Huge portions of great food. I got their 2 gyro pita plate (24$), which came with fries, rice, tzatziki and a choice of soup or salad. They give complementary pita and butter before your meal. Their pita is so soft and chewy; really the best pita I've ever had! Service is quick and friendly. They have a pleasant outdoor terrace for warm days. The menu is extensive and authentic. There are also many vegetarian options. There is a selection of delicious desserts as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Monica M

Overall it was just ok.

Laurence Perle Barchichat

Food was delicious and service was quick

Barry Kravitz

Yia Sou is my go to place on Queen Mary Road. My wife and I have been dining there since it opened. The service is friendly and efficient. The menu has many delectable choices. The portions are very generous and most importantly the food is delicious. Last night my wife and I both chose the authentic Gyro platter which we thoroughly enjoyed and finished to the last crumb. I highly recommend Yia Sou if you enjoy great Greek food.

Brandon Dion

I have never been disappointed with my food here. It's always fantastic.

Karina De Castro

Went over the weekend with friends for the first time. Their terasse has very little lighting but overall an amazing experience. I ordered their chicken gyro plate with rice and their awesome potatoes and I think it was the best gyro I've ever had. The greek salad was also good, but pina colada came in a weird glass that seemed small for the price. Food and service was excellent, our waitress was funny, pleasant and accommodating. Definitely recommend this place!

F DR

Good food, good portions and friendly staff, thanks.

Max Henley

The waitress was hot

Muha Orabi

So good choice

Elka Leah Eklove

Fantastic chicken euro and skewers! Yia Sou has a very welcoming atmosphere. Great place for families and adults. My picky eaters enjoy the food too! Reasonably priced, delicious food. There is something on the menu for everyone.

Katrina Tomczak

I love this place!!! Authentic greek food, that isn't just fast food and gyros. Whenever someone mentions to eat Greek, I always recommend Yia Sou. Their portions are generous, the food is perfectly simple and cooked nicely,there are a lot of options, including for vegetarian. And their ouzo lemonade is heavenly!!! My friend driving even asked after "was there alcohol in that at all??" I laughed out loud!!! Because he was tipsy and didnt even notice it was hard alcohol. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal :)

Nikolay Chikhachev

Great food n service

Samuel A.K.A. El Trankilo Vasquez

It is sad because I found out about this place last year. The food is absolutely delicious. Last year we had the best service someone could ask for. This time we had 3people serve us. A tall girl with black hair a shorter girl with blondish hair and a dude but all three were unpleasant unprofessional and just seemed to be fed up of being there. Great food but I don't know if I wish to return due to the service. I would order to take out though which is why I'm sticking to a 3star

Shoshana de Paz

The chicken taverna was not tender but it was tasty. Potatoes uninspired. Very little cheese on the big Greek salad. Service was great though and we stayed a long time.

Ian Jaslow

Was pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. Was expecting another Greek style restaurant with the regular fixings we have grown to expect. However the food exceeded my personal taste expectations coupled with attention to both quality and freshness.

Carolyn Cohen

First off our waitress was amazing. Remembered everything without taking note! We shared a Cold Pikilia from their cold appetizers, the taramosalata was a least favorite but the rest was delicious. The taverna chicken is a must, and the house salad is to die for! Will be coming again for service and food 5/5

Mike States

The chicken from the grill was very good. Also the portobello mushroom appetizer was tasty. Next time I'll try the fried zucchini which looked pretty appetizing. Wait staff were very friendly. A fine Greek restaurant overall.

Stephane Silber

Good quality food... Friendly service...

eugene

food is quite good - I love the chicken Gyro with fries. Service is slow at times. The staff seems quite efficient but it gets very busy and the kitchen gets backed up. Great local restaurant with a nice terrace out front on Queen mary.

Thomas Spiegler

Good food. Good portions. Good service.

Stan Carman

Good food, decent service. Nothing exceptional, but the ceiling needs some repair - there are signs of water damage from leaks, and the electrical system needs some attention too, because some lights are flickering.

Nick Stakis

act that it was busy the food came pretty quick but my steak (medium) was more like well done . My girlfriend had a cease chicken salad and when I went to grab a bit I lifted a piece of lettuce and there was some sort of spotted bug in the salad ! Cross my heart hope to die . I know you always see this in a movie but I swear it happened to us . I couldn't believe it . So I call the waiter over and show him . I'm expecting the owner to come and apologize cuz the waiter did say he would go talk to him .anyways e guy comes back with a new salad we continue our dinner. It comes time to pay the bill and again I'm expecting some sort of compensation. NOTHING. So I say something and they come back with a 15 decrease in proce AND the owner didnt even have the PROFESSIONAL courtesy to come apologize for the BUG IN MY GIRLFRIEND'S SALAD .

Altaf Sheriff

Excellent food, good portions, a little pricy for the fare.

jocelyn currie

We had a great time at the restaurant! The food was delicious, my parents had been looking for a good authentic Greek restaurant since the one we used to go to has closed. We all found that this restaurant was even better!! The service was amazing!! Vicky was such a sweet server and was very attentive! We’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks again Vicky for making it a great night!

D M

The food was okay but not much flavor. The only good tasty thing was the salad. The potatoes are the basic ones u could buy frozen and the meat had no taste of any seasoning. It was my first time there but wont be my place to go. I had far better Greek food elsewhere.

Victor Lee

For anyone who likes Greek food, I highly recommend this place for lunch. They have a linch special menu which includes a main dish, soup or salad, and a basket of bread. The bread was warm and soft when it arrived making me think it was recently baked. The soup I got was the best lentil soup I ever had because each individual lentil was fully cooked and soft without leaving hardened bits on my teeth. I got the authentic gyro plate in a pita and it was delicious. The meat was very tender in a soft pita, the fries were perfectly cooked with just enough crispyness. And the price is very reasonable for a meal that will fill you up. For my plate, it was about $16 including tax and tip. I have not tried coming here outside of lunch so I do not know how the price is at that time.

Bonnie Meisels

Super local Greek restaurant with a nice menu. Their grilled whole chickens are delicious. I love that you can add an order of grilled veggies as an option to your chicken platter. The tzatziki sauce is also very good. Parking is usually easy on Queen Mary.

Steve Custodio

Really good food. It is expensive so keep that in mind but the quality and portions as well as service are wonderful.

Trudy

Celebrated a friend's birthday this evening,enjoyed awesome chicken brochettes ,great service!!

Talk Smoke

Very good. The owners definitely know how to run a restaurant. Great quality

Louis Banks

Very good food but service wasn’t on point Maybe it was an off night, will still try again

David Knecht

We have been to Yia Sou many times and found the food to be excellent! The portions are large and very tasty and the service is excellent. It is advisable to make a reservation a day or two in advance, especially for a Saturday night. One of my favourites is their homemade Moussaka. Their desserts are also great if you are not too full. Enjoy!

Ruth Cadena

Great service. Food amazing

tony L

It was good not a fan of the tzatziki or the balsamic glaze on the veggies might go back on next visit to Montreal

Allison Savel

We stopped here for a late lunch. We got the moussaka and gyro plate. We also added the calamari appetizer. All were very good. If we lived in Montreal we would eat there all the time. A pleasant and excellent meal on our vacation.

Alain Sakha

Had the chicken gyro plate, it was tender and tasty. Very generous portions and a large drinks menu to choose from. Nice and quiet atmosphere with Greek music in the background. Highly recommended.

Peter Green

Good flavors and huge servings. Wife and I could have shared meal and left full. Moussaka had very refined.flavor. Calamari was juicy and tender. Vegetarian appetizer plate had very flavorful assortment of sauces. Service was attentive and pleasant.

Dorothy politenberg

I have been going to this restaurant for years and absolutely love their food and services. The freshness and deliciousness of the food is an instant satisfaction.

Daniel F

Love this place close to home. Great quality food with great service! Looking forward to going back soon.
