5* everything. What a find!!! We came across it this afternoon and are so happy we went in. It's immaculately clean, the welcome was super nice and helpful, the choice of food is abundant and the quality is amazing. Everything is made there including the light as a feather filo pastry for the Spanakopita and other varieties. Totally authentic, delicious and a must. We'll be back very very soon. Thank you so much :-)

Super love! We bought their spanakopita (slice) and baklava to go. Reheated them at home and was fantastic! Will definitely come back to try the others!

I first stumbled into Kouzina Niata during a food tour with Local Montreal Food Tours and immediately felt like I’d found something special. The phyllo was flaky, the vibe was cozy, and everything had that homemade feel that just sticks with you.

Fast forward to my second visit, this time as a plus one for my friend Sarah’s tasting, and it honestly made me love the place even more.

Tucked in Mile End, Kouzina is a warm little family-run Greek shop that somehow feels like it’s been around forever (even though it’s only three years old). You come in for a bite, and next thing you know, you’re eyeing the freezer section like you’re planning meals for the whole week.

They make their phyllo fresh in-house, and you can taste it. Crispy edges, buttery layers, soft centers… just everything you want in a savory pie. They also sell frozen versions to take home, along with olive oil, teas, dips, spreads, pantry goodies, and desserts. Basically, Greek comfort in a corner shop.

And yes, I definitely took a mirror selfie in their big beautiful window mirror. How could I not?

✨ Here’s what I loved most:
• Montrealopita (smoked meat pie) – my top pick. Local twist, traditional feel, rich and flavorful.
• Kotopita (chicken & bacon) – came in second. So comforting and filling.
• Spanakopita – a classic done well. Light, fresh, and not too salty.
• Bougatsa – vanilla custard wrapped in phyllo, somehow cozy and delicate at the same time.
• Freddo Cappuccino – medium sweet, super smooth. You know that tragic little moment when you stir it and ruin the masterpiece? Worth it.
• Mango & Coconut Iced Tea – refreshing with a tropical vibe. Not too sweet, just enough.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit Santorini before, and tasting these pies brought me right back to those warm afternoons with sea breeze, flaky pastries, and that slow, joyful pace of life. It’s amazing when a bite of food can do that.

This visit was part of a comped tasting, but sharing my honest thoughts above. 🫶🏽

I’ve been here a few times for a spanakopita, and while the flavour is incredible, every spanakopita I’ve had from here has been filled with sand. I’m guessing that the leeks aren’t being properly washed. I thought the first time was maybe a fluke, but after three times it’s clear it’s not. Don’t think I’ll give it a fourth go.

They have tons of vegetarian options like spanokopita (feta and spinach pie) and bougatsa (creamy custard pie) which my partner enjoyed.

But they only had one or two dairy free options like stuffed bell pepper (with rice) and an onion dip. I hope for more dairy free options in the future.

Honestly, and by far, the best place in Montreal for greek food, labor of love, that actually reminds of something that could exist in Greece

As a greek, I can confirm, they have some of the most authentic and delishious greek food I've tasted so far. Well worth the detour.

Looks like any hole in the wall, except cleaner, but don't be fooled. This is exceptional Greek food, made from scratch-- even the phyllo dough. Best spanikopita I've ever had. Plus some really interesting imports.

I got a small portion of roasted veggies (expected value 17.21$) in my surprise bag. Way too expensive, it is dishonest. There is like a quarter of a zucchini.

Homemade food.
