This review is based on my experience as a Montrealer, not as a visitor to Montreal: Arahova Souvlaki is a Montreal institution. But the tzatziki is a whole other story. There is not a souvlaki place between Montreal and Vancouver that I've tried that has better, more garlicky tzatziki.

Ketchup was absolutely discusting ! I went there with a colleague, put some ketchup on my fries, and could not eat that crap. When a restaurant refill his Heinz bottle with "no brand name" ketchup, it gives you an idea of how valuable for them their clients are. Never again are they gonna see my face !

I've been to various Arahova restaurants on different occasions. Arahova on St-Viateur always proved the best of the different locations (vs. Marche Central, West Island); however recent visits were somewhat disappointing. The food (souvlakis, moussaka) haven't been as good as in the past. The lentil soup is still tasty, but the fries have been second-rate (limp, oily). I prefer e.g.... More

While it claims to be authentic Greek, Arahova is nothing but a North Americanized Greek restaurant that has nothing to do with real authentic Greek food. Their foods are overpriced and I have yet to find, on the few occasions that I had to eat there to be part of the larger picture, a meal that's above par considering the... More

Growing up in Montreal, eating svoulaki at ARAHOVA'S was an affordable night out for us students! Having tasted svoulaki in Greece I later realized how authentic ARAHOVA'S recipe was. My favorite breakfast in Montreal, was 2 bagels from ST. VIATEUR BAGELS, across the street to ARAHOVA'S, a tsasiki to take out----------dip your hot bagel in the tsasiki! A unique $3.00... More

Good but not great souvlaki - tsatziki is good but I have had better taramosolata.

Great souvlaki, fresh fries, good tzaziki, greek feta - everything made perfect. Only complaint is the tomatoes. Sometimes they are good quality and sometimes they are just too pink and not juicy enough for the horitiki salada. The location is trendy and so close to the mountain. Go across the street for fresh bagels afterwards!
