The lady standing at the reception has no sense to speak at all. She is not even ready to talk to the people who come to collect the delivery.👎🏿

Best Greek food imo, love their tzatziki sauce and their pork souvlaki and gyro are always so delicious (never dry either!) Nice decor with lots of seating, fast and friendly service and they have lunch specials - but the prices are pretty reasonable regardless. I always make a point to go to St-Viateur whenever I come to Montreal, not for the bagels but for this Greek restaurant! I've been a customer since the 80s and the fact it's still there and there are repeat customers says a lot about the consistency and good food.

Arahova used to be decent if you wanted simple Greek fast food. I went yesterday and wow… I should’ve known what was coming when I saw the washroom, which honestly looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a week. We started with two beers served in dirty glasses. Wanting something fresh before the main course, we ordered the pikilia. Technically it was fresh… straight out of the fridge. Easily one of the worst pikilias I’ve ever had. Everything was drenched in some kind of oil that definitely didn’t taste like olive oil. Then came the chicken gyros platter. Pretty standard dish, but again, disappointing. The potatoes were bland, the Greek salad looked sad, and while the chicken and rice were okay, the whole plate was extremely greasy. We spent over $100 for this experience. Honestly, a shame. Definitely not going back.

Ordered a souvlaki pita. Disgusting. 4 small pieces of meat, very chewy full of nerves, tasted burnt. Pita was so small seemed like a children's portion, French fries were awful. Not going back. Too bad new ownership hasn't improved anything.

Got the sliced chicken platter, which was subpar - the meat was quite dry, though the potatoes were delicious. The staff who looked like he might've been the owner or manager was nice and helpful.

Tried this Arahova location and honestly had a really great experience overall. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-portioned. The fried calamari were freshly made, the chicken plate was super satisfying with a nice mix of textures, and the pita wrap was simple but hit the spot. Potatoes so flavourful and addictive! Everything tasted clean and well-seasoned. What really stood out though was the service. The waitresses were incredibly kind and patient the whole time. We were actually among the last customers close to closing, and they still treated us with care, no rushing, no attitude, just genuinely good service. I was paying with a gift card and they weren’t familiar with how to process it, but instead of making it awkward, they stayed calm, figured it out, and made sure I could use it without any issue. Overall, great food + genuinely kind service (even at closing time) = definitely coming back.

It's just really good for the price. Good value. That's all I want. I once asked for a favor, and they over delivered. Nice people.

This restaurant that I have been ordering from for 25+ years is experiencing a big decline in food quality. This is unfortunate as consistency was its thing. I found out that it’s a new administration. Sad but I think this place is done

For a family event at church, I ordered Arahova for 50 people, to be served buffet style. They delivered right on time and the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone who attended was delighted to be served warm food. The catering service was spot on, and very professional. I highly recommend Arahova for their catering menu and service.
