Review from Antonella Y.

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!

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

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. -

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. -

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.
