Sparta - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We spent our last day walking lovely Montreal and realized we needed some fuel before our long trek home. We noticed Sparta, saw "salad" and walked in to a clean, bright spot with a happy French server who, along with my terrible high school French (30 years ago!), managed to get our orders just right. The light lunch was perfect! The produce fresh, the light dressing tasty, and our bellies happy. if you'd like to leave Old Montreal for a change of pace, I highly recommend you try Sparta! read more

This was damn good! It has to be the most tender grilled chicken I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly! I really enjoyed the lemony flavour of the sauce (which I'm assuming is their signature sauce), but I feel that it could have used some sweetness because it was a bit too tart for me. It was also very salty. I'd recommend eating it with some tzatziki to balance out the flavours. But the fact it didn't have to ask for extra sauce on the chicken since it already came drowned in it is what really impressed me! They have a very straightforward menu -- chicken, fries, salad and pita. Though I'll admit their fries and pita look very tasty, so I'll give them a shot when I visit this restaurant again! Overall, I'd highly recommend this place if you love delicious chicken with a lemony twist. read more

Got the souvlaki trio. The wrap was delicious and very juicy. The sauce was so flavorful and the wrap was soft and warm. The chicken was pretty tender as well. The fries however were very dry and flavorless so it was a bit disappointing. It came with a soft drink and cost me around 14$. It's quite pricey considering that the fries weren't good and the drink was just a canned drink. Next time, I'll just get the wrap alone. read more

This is small restaurant made more for takeout then dinning in. They do have tables in the restaurant but it's always packed. It is right by Atwater metro/mall. I love coming here for some halal Greek styled food! We were a large group and we ordered the classic and spicy chicken. We were all able to finish our food completely. They do have sides we had fries. They serve canned drinks and water in a pitcher. They don't come serve you food, you pick up your plate from the counter and find a place to sit. We all loved the chicken. It is very oily, so it can get messy. They serve sandwiches as well and a separate take out menu. read more

A no-nonsense business that serves great food. Owner(?) was fun to chat with. It's located right outside of the Atwater mall, so its a nice alternative to the shopping center's rather boring food court. Great place if you like marinated grilled chicken and delicious gyros. Fries are nothing special - they're more fillers than anything else. Prices are moderate, and portion sizes are ok. read more

Sparta - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This was my first time here. My parents had previously raved about this place and then about a month ago my dad had mentioned that the last time they went, it had gone downhill. I decided to try it for myself. I ordered a chicken pita with fries and an extra Ceasar salad on the side. Right away, there was an issue with the owner's credit card terminal. He insisted that I tap my card, but refused to turn the terminal towards me so I could see the amount. He said that he doesn't make mistakes and that I should trust him. So far, good times! About 5 minutes later, the cook placed my food on the counter. Unfortunately, despite being famished, this meal was nearly inedible; Ceasar salad: drenched in a mass produced store bought dressing that tastes like what you would get at a Super C. If you are going to ruin a salad like this, just take the thing off the menu. It's pure laziness to serve this when you could easily make a batch of homemade dressing once a week. Chicken Pita and fries: The tzatziki sauce was quite good which saves this review from getting one star. The chicken was barely warm. It seems like they had precooked it earlier in the day. There's no other explanation for it not being piping hot. The pita was thin and coated in so much salted seasoning that it completely overpowered the sandwich. The same goes for the fries that were overly salted to the point of hurting my tongue. They were also not very warm and slightly soggy. What a letdown! read more

Probably the best grilled chicken I've ever had. Upon planning my trip to Montreal, I was recommended to try the Portuguese rotisserie from a place called Romados, so I put it in my itinerary. However, I arrived during Christmas time so the restaurant was unfortunately closed , but one of the taxi drivers I rode with advised me to try Sparta's Greek chicken on Saint Catherine St. I am very happy that I listened to him. I don't know what they season their chicken and fries with, but it was arguably the best thing I had in Montreal. The chicken was so damn juicy and flavorful, you can tell their recipe has been perfected. The fries are just as good in my opinion; they were somewhat soggy but the sheer flavor completely negated the sogginess. In fact, the sogginess added to the experience imo - since I was starving - the flimsiness of the fries made it easier to devour them. Come here for the chicken and fries, you will not regret it. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Sparta yet and I have been going there for years! I have raved and recommended this place to MANY MANY ppl and to me, this is one of the BEST chicken in Montreal. My favorite and what I take out the most is their spicy chicken (whole). That's it. I don't need salad or fries. I live 5 mins away so the chicken is still warm and the spice and the juice in that chicken.... VERY flavorful and VERY moist! Beyond 5 stars (I'm not endorsed but I wish that I was (with their chicken)) Also, the guys behind the counter are really friendly and fun to talk to. read more

The chicken was so moist, it just falls off. Just that one sentence took me back to my first bite. Instadrool Lol I mean, look at the photo I posted, isn't it just fucken beautiful? Greek salad with feta cheese was also a hit. And the fries? Let's just say all 3 goes in perfect harmony. Although by the time I finished my plate, my stomach was swimming in olive oil, a little too much for my liking. This is great to have once in a while. Definitely coming back to try their wrap, maybe easier on the oil? read more

Sparta - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I really (really really) like this place :D Atmosphere: no frills, no thrills, but definitely no chills - place is clean, tidy and spacious. The booths are a little small (barely fitting one person per bench) - but you're here for the food (see below) not the accommodations I promise you! Very much help yourself type of style - don't forget to grab a pitcher of water from the fridge before you sit down! Service: 5 starts and then some! John the owner is down to earth guy and extremely friendly - doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, casually throwing in "brother" 2-3 times in a sentence a al Hulk Hogan :D Always curious and patient - I've never had a bad encounter yet. Top marks to him as the face of Sparta. Food: Not sure what it is about grilled chicken - but this is another place that gets top marks in my book and deservedly so. You have to try the souvlaki here - the bread that's used is to die for. Covered in rosemary herbs and piping hot - it's a generous meal in and of itself. Spicy or Regular - I go for spicy but both are great! One can order the half-chicken (for in house consumption) or the whole-chicken (for take out or delivery). The meat falls off the bone! Grilled and partly baked to lock in the flavour - this is chicken done the Greek way and it's done so very well. Affordable and simple - it's a meal you won't regret and will come back for again and again! THIS IS SPARTA! :D read more

Absolutely love this place, can't believe I havent already reviewed it! Montreal is truly lucky to have a halal greek place like this one! Warm cosy interior with genuine staff, the owner is a lovely humble and friendly guy. I had the spicy chicken souvlaki which was absolutely perfect and my husband had the half chicken, also very well seasoned. Love the tzatziki, the pita bread, salad ... Everything! This place is simple but huge hearty portions, you are sure to feel sleepy after a meal at Sparta's!! Highly recommend this place if you want to eat well and feel at home!! read more

We arrived first and had to wait until they attend all the other people that came after, and the food was tasteless and boring

HALAL! This place is Montreal's secret. Delicious and flavorful Greek chicken. I had the spicy chicken souvlaki which was bursting in flavor. I also enjoyed the fries that came with it though it was nothing special. It reminded me of McDonald fries. The chicken however is something special. So good! The greek salad and pita was also delicious and fresh. SO glad I came upon this place in Montreal. The owner was super friendly and rumor is there opening up a location in Toronto soon! *crosses finger* Price was average and the atmosphere was cozy. 4 Stars because of the fries. Huge portions though. Definitely miss this place! read more

If I could rate Sparta six stars, wallahi I would, Habibi. As you walk in, you're greeted by their friendly staff, and in my case the owner was very grateful that I brought my friends. "Thanks for coming brother! " It's the sort of warm welcome that keeps you coming back. Now, the chicken. In a market that's getting flooded with very similar and overrated Portugueseries, Sparta marches into battle to the beat of their own drum. They bring Greek BBQ Chicken to the Halal scene in Montreal with a flourish. Seasoned to perfection with salt, oregano and their secret spicy sauce, Sparta really manages to differentiate themselves with just the right level of spice and flavour. The natural taste of of the grilled chicken shines through through and baby, it's the business. Split half a chicken between two of you or have an entire one to yourself if you're well hungry, but do try it, habibis. Our conclusion: there are few better options for Iftar this Ramadan. A++, would eat again. read more

I have been going to Sparta for 2 years now and all I can say is that Sparta has the best spicy chicken in the universe.

Your regular greek joint. But they have the juicest chicken ever full of flavors and perfectly grilled. The owner was super nice and helpful and the service was really fast. However the bathrooms were not clean and thats a bummer. read more

Zabiha halal! Chicken heaven! S/O and family had chicken legs, and chicken sandwiches... super delicious! Restaurant was extremely clean and well-maintained... the ambiance was enjoyable. Prices were reasonable. Def a great spot to visit for halal foodies! read more

I was brought to this place by friends and colleagues of mine to, once again, remind me that the effervescent food utopia is all true real downtown. This is a lovely spacious well-lit space delivering an impressively affordable incredibly tasty array of filled up plates. It seems a little more expensive because of you'd think they'd leave your plate half-empty like the rest of the food stores near them. No-uh, fill that plate until the fries almost fall off. Amazingly friendly staff. They speak French, English, Persian, Greek and Romanian as far as I could tell. Joking and loving. It almost felt like going to a family reunion with only the cool ones. I fully recommend this place. Divine juicy chicken with nice tasting fries. read more

I can't believe I never reviewed Sparta. You might ask yourself why this place thrives while others fail here. The chicken is moist, tender, marinated and char grilled. There is a distinctive taste i have yet to see anywhere else The fries are standard, but once they absorb the juices from the chicken atop, it kicks it up a notch. The seating is very cafeteria like, but thats ok for me. read more

Loved the Grilled chicken and their salad. Their fries is to die for, with a tiny pinch of oregano taste takes it to another level of heaven. Perfect place to go when hungry. :) read more

This place has recently revamped themselves a little bit; they've lowered prices and switched from having waitstaff to ordering at the counter. This means paper plates and plasticware instead of silverwear and ceramic plates, if that makes a difference to you. All in all, Sparta's now a really good bargain. You can get a souvlaki pita for $5 or a trio for $7, which is comparable to anything at the mall across the street, but the quality is much higher. Whole chickens to take out were at about $12, and two for $22. At those prices, my husband and I joked about showing up at parties with twho whole chickens instead of a bag of chips. The chicken is seasoned nicely and grilled, and the flavor is just great. The sauce on the pita is nice and garlicky and the pita is soft. The whole thing has lots of a peppery greek sprinkle on it, which helps to take things to the next level. I believe they also give a discount for students, so that's a good thing if read more

Do one thing and do it well... always a good motto. You won't find much on the menu beyond roast chicken, chicken pita, and a couple salads... but the roasted chicken is strait up amazing. It really is the best I've ever had, anywhere, fancy restaurants included. I order takeout at least a couple times a month. Atmosphere is more takeout style than sit down style, but the manager is super friendly and it's always a pleasure to come in. Fantastic neighborhood joint. read more

Pretty good minus the fact that the chicken are huge pieces in the pita and there's barely any sauce and no lettuce which would of made it awesome. They only deliver after 5 pm which is okay still took a hour. read more

Service was a little cheeky but kind of expected. Food was ok, nothing special. Very typical souvlaki and the fries were tasty but not really anything to go back for. I saw a few people eating the chicken and it looked pretty tempting, I may go back to try it if I am in the neighbourhood. It's pretty decent considering I had very little time to eat and I didn't want to eat McDonalds or sacwich however, I would not go out of my way to eat here. read more

Sparta - Chicken souvlaki trio, fries have a nice seasoning salt to them. - Greek Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

In all honesty one of the best roasted/grilled/seasoned chicken legs of all my time. I have wanted to try this place many times, but our timing never jived. This was an in-between meal so thus just the one chicken leg, but was just what I needed. Lemon juice, oil and oregano on top, made the chicken skin irresistible. What a mess I left, so thankfully they had a basket of wet wipe packets - I used two and three napkins. I must go back to try the other Greek dishes and get more of that moist savory bird. read more

I first stumbled upon this place hoping to grab a bite before I got on the metro, but it was closed. I made sure to check it out next time I was in the area, and sure enough I got there with less than half an hour until closing time. The place was about as busy as you'd expect a place to be at 2 in the afternoon, but I wasn't the only one there. Inside it was like just about any other hole in the wall, paper plates and everything. Order your food at the counter, and grab a drink from the fridge while it's prepared right in front of you. The staff was friendly, chatting with me a bit while the food was being prepared. They seemed to want to know about me and where I came from. There was Greek music playing in the background, which I thought was a nice touch, give the general lack of decoration. The chicken was great, which is all the really matters. Covered in herbs and spices and grilled to perfection. I also had fries with it, but they were not particularly great. Almost your typical fast food fries, except they were seasoned. Meh, they still went well with the chicken. read more
