Marathon Souvlaki in Dollard-des-Ormeaux specializes in fresh, tender meat souvlakis. Marathon Souvlaki has also won an award for the best souvlaki by the Gazette. There are a choice between pork, lamb, chicken or even vegetarian souvlaki. Other dishes are also available at Marathon Souvlaki.
Overall, Marathon Souvlaki is described as a reliable casual Greek spot with generous portions, good value, and consistently tasty dishes like calamari, chicken souvlaki, pork gyro, and the signature Marathon salad, with frequent praise for fast service and friendly staff. The dining options work well for both takeout and sit-down meals, and many reviews highlight the lively, busy atmosphere that makes it a popular go-to, especially in the West Island locations. While the food is largely celebrated, there are occasional critiques about busy or noisy hours, occasional slower or uneven service, and rare notes about changes in portion size or other quirks such as charges for sauces or being asked to wrap up after paying. Still, these are outweighed by repeated recommendations and the sense that Marathon Souvlaki offers dependable, flavorful Greek fare at generous portions and reasonable prices, making it a staple for regulars and newcomers alike.
We celebrated my brother's birthday at Marathon Restaurant & had a fantastic experience. The food was good, we ordered the calamari, chicken brochette, & souvlaki, all of which were fresh & full of flavour. What really stood out, though, was the service. Peter, our server, was exceptional: attentive, friendly, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening.
Overall, a great place for a special occasion or a relaxed night out. We'll definitely be back.

Went there a few days ago & ordered the chicken pita gyro plate & the fried calamari . The chicken in the gyro was super dry & not fresh so they put so much seasoning to make it seem better. Used to love coming here with friends. Maybe it was an off night but i was really disappointed.
First time at Marathon, & it won't be my last! The food was fresh, tasty, & perfectly prepared. The service was great; if I could give 6 stars for service, I would. Thomas was fantastic- attentive, friendly, & made the whole experience even better. The only small downside was that it was a bit loud for me, but the atmosphere just shows how popular it is.
Can't wait to come back!
This is probably one of the most underrated restaurant in the West Island. The food is great & portions are generous.
When we order takeout, again portions a good & just looking at the food makes me drool. You can tell it was prepared & cooked by people who care.
I'm looking at my Greek salad right now … big red tomatoes, nice chunk of cucumber with feta cheese & red onions. So fresh & made with quality ingredients.
Still an excellent place for souvlaki! Marathon salad is nice & fresh, souvlaki is a good size (even if perhaps not as plump as in the past), tsatsiki is creamy & tangy. The decor is modern & clean while the layout feels spacious, so quite the luxury compared to some places where you feel like a sardine. We were served by Louis who did an excellent job with courtesy & efficiency. I'd love to eat here as often as in the past but despite what Harris & democrats say, inflation is real.

If you want great Greek food & good value for your dollar then go no further than Marathon Souvlaki. The food was fresh, served fast & the staff was friendly. We have been here several times & we have never been disappointed.
I've eaten here since they opened, back around'94-95. I just realized, I've eaten here for 30 years... over half my life! Always delicious, fresh & consistently good food, always generous portions, not expensive & the decor is nice & family friendly. I can't get enough of the doner meat & calamari. Now that I'm older & can't actually finish an entire platter on my own, I order a two-pita platter & that's plenty for two of us to eat til we're full & there's still salad & potatoes left. Mmm.

Excellent service from Thomas! It was his first day & I've never had such a good waiter! The food was amazing, fresh & delicious. Definitely recommend this location!
Fantastic chicken plate with rice, choice of marathon or Greek salad & fries. Went there for lunch with my husband & two teenage boys. The lunch menu includes a drink as well. The price is perfect for the amount of tasty, fresh food you get. Beyond amazing customer service. The service was impressive in today's world. I highly recommend this place.
