Upon the recommendation of my neighbor (their bartender FROM WAY back in the day) I had to try Kojax Souflaki! I ordered the Sunday Special! The famous "yero" with a healthy couscous, carrot, and raisin salad. Some prefer this healthy option, while others prefer the fries. The raisin drink rounded out the trio/combo meal. Huge plus, they were open early for lunch as I just got out of an appointment at the nearby Apple Store. Added bonus, the owner was friendly and talkative and everyone was helpful. The "yero" was the star of the show. Get it with the spicy sauce. It's not too spicy and it adds to the flavor. I'm trying to be healthy so I ordered the couscous salad. It was healthy! And fresh! If you're going for taste, though, you may want to try the fries. So back in the day, they stayed open til 4am and had a bartender that served drinks. Not so much anymore! They serve beers but it was 10:30 am when I visited. Too early for that! The owner shared that they'll have to move at least temporarily because the landlord is planning on a building renovation. Be on the look for news from the business owners! read more

Tasteless food..my 2 friends ordered chicken souvlaki with garlic sauce..the chicken tasted blend and the supposedly garlic sauce tasted more like mayonnaise..my yero original was also tasteless ..cold..very disappointing..that company , on their home page, brag about serving fresh and tasty Greek cuisine..it's more of a fast food 3rd class. We regretted not ordering at A& W near as we were at Carrefour Angrignon/ Lasalle.. read more

Ordered the combo plate and was very disappointed. Everything on my plate was dry and bland. Without the tzatziki, it would've been fairly tasteless. read more

Kojax Souflaki - a plate of food - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

For one thing, the Kojax Souvlaki isn't there anymore. But their fries were very delicious and it goes well with Kojax sauces.

I went to Kojax Souflaki for some Middle East Food. I have been going to Kojax Souflaki for more than 20 years! Location This Kojax Souflaki location is on Ste Catherine near Guy which is easy to get to. Decor The decor is not that great and has not been updated in more than 20 years. Service The counter person was friendly and efficient. Food I ordered my usual, the Yero No 3 with mild sauce. It was pretty good and I loved dipping my french fries in the mild sauce. The food has not changed in all the years I have been eating at Kojax. read more

Kojax Souflaki - Yero no. 3 - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I came in to get lunch to go. I enjoyed the yero chicken and a couple salads-chickpea and mixed vegetables. The pita and chicken were good and so was the chickpea salad. The mixed vegetables were not very tasty and the chicken was over cooked. Overall, it was good, but not great. read more

Ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Pita Plate with a side of Garlic Potatoes through Uber Eats. Picked this place on impulse, and instantly regretted not looking this place up and reading reviews as soon as I saw and tried the food. The garlic potatoes lacked flavour and were soggy. But they were still the better part of the meal. I unwrapped the Pita, and took a big first bite. While chewing and swallowing it, I realized there was a potent odour!! It was a disgusting smell indicating the chicken had gone bad. There's no way the cook didn't smell it when putting the Pita Sandwich together. I'm truly shocked that a restaurant would use bad chicken without any regards for its consequences for the client. If an establishment makes an honest mistake, I can usually get past that and revisit the place to give them the benefit of the doubt. But when it's a deliberate one to fool people for higher profits, that's unfortunate and unforgivable. It smelt disgusting and was grey coloured and I refuse to believe nobody noticed it while putting the sandwich together!! I have been feeling queasy and nauseous ever since and I'm worried I may get sick from this meal. Would not recommend this place to anyone! read more

Positivity disgusting. I should have my head examined for even walking into this place. My dining partner and I popped in here in desperation because the place we had intended to eat at closed at 3PM (so did our backup choice, weird). We both ordered the spanakopita plate. It was served by a young man who seemed to have zero experience. First we were asked what our salad choice was. My co-diner picked chick pea salad and I asked for Greek. He did know what that was so I had to talk him through the entire process: lettuce, olives, tomatoes, feta, cucumber. Step by step. Each item took and eternity to place on the styrofoam plate. Watching him struggle with tongs, olives rolling off the plate. I had to ask FOUR TIMES for the feta. When the salad placement was done, he started working on heating up the spanakopita triangles, after taking an eternity to remove the pieces from a container and place them on a grill. Why didn't he start heating the spanakopita first, then work on the salads? Anyway we finally got our styrofoam plates. The chick pea salad was old and inedible. I managed to eat both pieces of the soggy warmish spanakopita but my friend could only gag down one of hers. The Greek salad was edible and hardly any of the lettuce was brown but the onions that were added (without me asking for them) had an overpowering flavour that stuck with me the rest of the day. Summary: we paid $28 for two very crappy spanakopita plates. read more

Old greasy fries not cool. How do you think that this is acceptable ..... WOW Never again, thanks but I'll pass. read more

Kojax Souflaki - Worst fries ever. How can you serve this and think it's okay. Highly disappointed - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

First time here even though I've been in Montreal a few times. The staff was great. They waved us in and talked us through what to order based on what we wanted. The food was quick but delicious. The combination of the staff, food, and drink was a success. I got chicken skewers, geek salad, and poutine it hit the spot! So glad we happened to stumble upon this place. It will definitely be a night to remember and I highly recommend it. read more

Good pita sandwich, Took my order and left because it was an ok looking place to me, if I'm in a bind and want to avoid subway I will definitely go to Kojax but dagwoods has my heart though it's Greek vs Canadian which can't really be compared but hey going by my preferences here! So yeah.. read more

3.5 stars I ate at Kojax many times as a university student in Montreal, it was perfect for a quick meal in between classes (and at the right price). This was also my "go to" spot when the bars closed at 3am (I woke up many mornings with the familiar Kojax sauce on my shirt). Service has always been consistently excellent here, a rarity for a fast food restaurant. It's probably been 25 years since my first visit and they always have friendly staff who prepare the food quickly and with a smile. The restaurant is entirely red & white - the traditional Kojax colors, and very bright but you don't come here for the atmosphere. You come for the Gyro. If you don't know what this is, it's a warm fresh Pita with strips of beef roasted on a vertical spit, tomatoes, onions and Kojax special sauce. I order the same thing every time, so good. Over the years, I tried a few of the food court locations and found them not up to par. You need to go to this St. Catherine location to ensure you get the real Kojax experience. Fast food done right. I guess that's why the place has been there for so long... BK read more

Tried the chicken yero pita a few times (was on special so all the better), and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty and fresh all the ingredients seemed. It makes for a nice lunch bite, not too big, not too small. Happy they've kept up the quality. read more

Kojax has alot of history with me and has saved me from many a hangover when in Montreal. Their food has kept me fueled between bohemian Bar Hopping nights chasing French Canadian Women. The souvlakis here are nowhere near the quality of say Arahova or Villa, but Kojax fills a niche of providing really fast Greek food with the emphasis on fast, to keep you fueled between bars or after a late weekday night out when you need to get to bed. In most other major Cities I think your only other alternative would be picking up a Pizza Slice or hotdog. I like the sweet sauce on mine when still hitting the town in consideration of breath. At the end of the night I'll take mixture of garlic and aforementioned hot sauce. read more

For those of you from out of town, this is a small, local chain of souvlaki and yero (gyro, or doner, if you prefer) joints that's been around forever. I've been eating their stuff since the early eighties. I'll the give you the bad news first: they're a *chain*. There are some things they do in an utterly formulaic way; the sides, especially. The fries and rice are elementary school cafeteria-quality, at best, and can be safely avoided. Their yero is nothing special; it's meatloaf. I haven't bothered to get one of their salads in ten or fifteen years. What draws me back, time and time again, is their pork souvlaki. On pita. And not with the silly white sauces, no; with the red, *hot* sauce. A Greek friend tells me the red sauce is a pretty common thing in Greece, but I've yet to find any other souvlaki joint in Montreal that offers it. And that red sauce, gentle reader, is the secret. Picture this: Griddle-fried pita. Grilled pork cube kebab. A generous mound of fresh, shredded lettuce and bright sliced onion; a few slices of beefsteak tomato; all laced with a spoonful of a deep, salty, tangy, spicy peppery-dark red sauce that bears gratifyingly little resemblance to ketchup. Rolled into a tight cone, and handed to you piping hot. Bite into *that*. Now picture that, at the end of a cold day spent walking downtown. Three of those, to go. With a good pale ale to wash them down waiting at home. Oh, mercy. read more

What a great little spot to break from the heavy and expensive meals around town. Good souflaki pork and Greek style tatziki. Very reasonably priced and a good spot to recharge. read more

I'm a regular when it comes to Kojax traditional souflaki with extra mild sauce - its mouth watering!but this location loses stars because of its lack of cleanliness! Fruit flies swirming around the garbage, bathroom with toilet paper over the sink in great need of a makeover! I won't be coming back here unless I'm super hungry for a pit stop -which was the exception tonight. But amiable service read more

Giving it 2 stars for convenience and service. The staff is always polite and very efficient, and it's in a great location. Prices are also decent, so if you're craving Greek food then it's adequate. The food doesn't go much further than that for me. Maybe it's just when I go, but every time I've been there the food's been less than what I expected and have come to experience from other Kojax locations. If you can get yourself somewhere else, then do so. If not, prepare to be underwhelmed. read more

My go to restaurant for over 40 years, when I'm in the downtown area. I always order 2, Gyro beef sandwiches, with mild sauce on the side. Nothing else, no fries and no drinks. The 4 star rating is for the Gyro sandwiches only. read more

It's a taste of my childhood and I can't remember the last time I had anything from Kojax before this past week. I went for what I remembered: a Kojax burger with mild sauce and an order of fries. I feel like it wasn't as good as I remembered but certainly not bad. It was really filling - even with my dog taking a few fries off my hands. The burger is like a gyro piled onto a cheap sesame hamburger bun and doused with sauce. While I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get it, if you're in the area and want something a little different it will certainly do the trick. read more

One of the things I like the most is their friendly customer service. I have to say that the food is also very good, fresh salads, and good meats, so if you need a quick lunch and you like Middle Eastern food then this is the place to come. read more

Open really late on the weekend which is great because who doesnt love Greek food at 3am on a friday night. Ive been going here for 4 years since i moved into the area and ive always managed to strike up some personal report with the staff. All of them are very pleasant including who im assuming is the manager based on him leading the way when it gets busy. Relatable guy whos always willing to take an extra step to make sure you leave happy. Aside from the people, the food is also great and not overly expensive for the portion size. Will be back soon! read more

I ordered the vegetarian plate which came with salad, fries and rice. The rice was microwaved (I know because I saw the guy microwaving before serving me) and had little flavour. There was no dressing for the salad which I found odd. Usually Mediterranean restaurants put tatziki or something on the side. Portions are not very big for the amount you are paying. The servers were kind though however the food is not worth returning or recommending. read more

In the late 90's when i lived in Montreal we worked right down the street from Kojax, we ate many a lunch, snack or late night drunk fest here. I was pleasantly surprised to see its still here and in the same location with the same food and cafeteria style set up. So reliving my youth over ordered everything i used to order here at the food is still fantastic and serves a very specific purpose, cheap, delicious and fast. Perfect. Poutine Fries, Chicken Souvlaki and Gyro, loved it! read more

I went to the original one on Ste Catherines for the 2-3 am scoffs and even Keeble was amazed as to how I can pack it in. I went there with Mark Vanderbol a couple of times and he just ate for 1 hour straight ,so it was safe to say I helped introduce,many of my old friends, girlfriends, football buddies to commercialized good greek fare,. the guys on the line loved it when we came in cause we tipped and it was just that way cause they would pile on the mild sauce and pile on the yero meat and that was a heluva job. I went there with Poly 1 time in 88 to celebrate his being picked number 3 in the CFL draft ,after a big nite at THURSDAYS and Crescent st. We ate for 6 people ,true story. I look forward to 1 day going back and having my favourite submarine,ciaociao Mou read more

The Yero trio always makes for yummy lunch. Their toothsome pita makes biting into the sandwich a wonderful experience, and the all-dressed original yero-meat drizzled with hot sauce all melds together into an ever satisfying lunch. Their big fat fries are wonderful as well, but if you're getting take-out you WILL run out of ketchup. 3 little packs of brand name ketchup is no match for these fries. read more

Kojax is a local Greek fast-food joint with a few stores around Montreal. The one on Ste-Catherine's is a great place to grab some real good eats and get it done FAST. All the usual standards of Greek fast food are there, but they also adapted Poutine and done it with gusto. Thick meaty gravy on those really thick cut Greek fried potatoes and delicious cheese that is brick in your stomach delicious; don't let its size fool you, it's a hill that feeds like a mountain. Service is speedy and I mean speedy, don't fear the line up, you'll be in and out of there before you know it. Seating is a little tight for the spatially challenged, but the place is clean and maintained. Grubilicious. read more

Friendly service. Pleasant experience but fries clogged throat. Hard to swallow clogged throat. Do not eat fry if you have small throat. Maybe smaller than 2in diameter. Good luck. read more

I'm a native Montrealer who lives in the US and this is the first place I want to eat at when I get into the city. It's a Greek fast food chain,and I've been going here since my high school days, so yes, I'm a long time customer! ;-) I've been to Greece, and have had the "original" souvlaki and know that none of the fast food chains or even actual restaurants truly come close to it, but I don't really care, I'm totally hooked on this place. I love their MILD sauce, I used to favor the tzatziki on my chicken souvlaki but then I tried the mild sauce and it was over! I've been loving my mild sauce ever since!! The chicken Gyro is GREAT!!! Everything I've ever had here has been good...but I must point out that I always order pretty much the same thing...the Gyro sandwich, the Gyro Burger or the Chicken Souvlaki plate. The St-Catherine location is opened late, so it's the perfect cure for that hangover. Can't wait to go back for my next Mild sauce fix! They should bottle that mild sauce and sell it, I'd buy it by the case and bring it back home with me! read more

Absolutely LOVE their chicken wrap with mild sauce. The best chicken wrap there is. I crave it all the time! Quick & affordable, perfect when you're on the go. read more
