    Greek Salad with Chicken
    Danielle B.

    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.

    Souvlaki trio
    Xue L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken pita, fries, and Ceasar salad
    Daniel B.

    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!

    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?

    Best chicken souvlaki
    Wes N.

    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

    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!!

    Deliciously well seasoned spicy half chicken at Sparta!
    Jose Luis F.

    This was by far the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had. I ordered the spicy half chicken trio, it was amazingly well seasoned and delicious, even the fries were amazing, so much flavour! Peter and the staff were super friendly, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Spacious dining area with a section that shows off the fresh fish of the day-a smaller outdoor seating area.-only one table occupied given almost closing time. First, we quickly realized, for 3 of us, we ordered too much food. Started with the Fried Eggplant (Aubergine) and Tarama Salata. Both were tasty. The Tarama was milder and not as salty-every restaurant/city has their own version of my favorite dip. Greek Salad was just like in Athens-so much Feta, Olives and no lettuce -delicious. Grilled Squid was sliced thinly and perfectly seasoned! Oh we also had to try the Mexican Jumbo Shrimp-jumbo they were and tasty. At this point, we should've stopped but we had to try an entree. We ordered the Mediterranean Sea Bream (for 2) which was just right for 3 of us given our endless appetizers. The table side carving and plating of the fish was a nice touch. Fresh Bream was delicious. Of course we had leftovers. Service was very attentive and engaged matching the level of this spot. Extra thanks to the team for accommodating us at the late hour. Members of the staff thanked us as we were leaving-how often does that happen?! Don't miss this neighborhood Gem that will transport you to Athens.

We got lucky to walk in and get a table without a reservation. They use their own Milo's EVOO (early harvest) which is a nice touch. Looks like they have other locations in a handful of major cities. A local friend's favorite that lived up to the hype!

No shade to older people, but we were with our 18 and 20 year old kids and the vibe was kinda vanilla. We were pretty hungry so decided to give it a go. Firstly, we are from Ontario and are not fluent in French. We will make the effort to do our best but usually the servers will just speak English, which we appreciate! Our server this day was just not the friendliest. She seemed annoyed with us from the get go. Whether it was our subpar attempt at speaking French or not, who knows. Definitely couldn't have been a reflection of our attitudes as we always go out of our way to be super respectful of people in the service industry as we have all worked in it in some capacity. The place was not very busy so it's not like she was slammed with orders. She took our order and then disappeared for 45 minutes lol. People were being served all around us but it seemed as though we had been forgotten. Our order was not complicated (2 Greek salads, and two chicken skewer plates). When our meal finally arrived, I was honestly shocked. The "village Greek salad" or however they called it was just tasteless. Huge pieces of pepper, huge pieces of tomato, some cucumber, minuscule feta and a few olives tossed in for good measure and the most pathetic gathering of lettuce underneath it all. Barely any oil, zero vinegar. It was just laughable. Server was nowhere to be seen so I couldn't ask for some extra oil and vinegar. Not once did she come by to see how we were doing or ask if we needed anything. Just couldn't be bothered, I guess. The chicken skewer platters were tasty enough but definitely nothing to write home about. We won't be returning on future visits to Montreal. The outside patio is cute but that was the only positive about our experience. Even trying to pay was a huge hassle as the server had seemingly disappeared and we waited for almost ten minutes until she showed her face. When she printed the bill, made an "are you stupid?" face as she was standing a bit further away from me and basically called me over like I was a dog. We still tipped her (15% instead of our usual of 22%) (my kids are extremely unhappy that I tipped at all) but we will never recommend this place to friends or family coming in from out of town. We visit Montreal quite a lot and frequent a lot of places but this is one that you can absolutely skip.
