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.
Get ready for an over generous delicious meal! We went for a casual dinner as we both love lamb chops which are not available in many places. We ordered a tzatziki appetizer which, with Greek garlic pita bread, was a prelude to an excellent meal. We followed Angelo's advice on medium for the lamb chops as they are heavily marinated. The plates came with a very large salad (choice of Greek or garden), crisp flat Greek fries, rice & 4 large delicious lamb chops. With a glass of ouzo at only 6$ this was a sumptuous meal that we could not finish. Our waiter Angelo made our dinner memorable with his advice, excellent service & carefully packing the dinner we could not finish. We will definitely be back.
The starters & main dishes were delicious & the portions more than generous. The service was fast & friendly & although the restaurant was very crowded we were shown to a booth as soon as we arrived. On the downside we had just finished paying the bill & we're chatting for a few minutes when our server informed us we would have to leave in 5 minutes as there were a lot of people waiting. We jumped up, put on our coats & left. Have been to many restaurants over the years & this is the first time we were given 5 minutes notice particularly as we had just paid the bill.

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.
This franchise offers comforting traditional Greek fare. Their lunch menu provides excellent value for money, a generous portion including flatbread (formerly garlic bread, a bit disappointed), a choice of fries or rice, a salad, & a soft drink. Service can occasionally be slow.
I have been to a few locations of Marathon Souvlaki, & this is where we found the best Greek food experience in the West Island.
Take out or dine in, service & quality go hand in hand for you.
The portions are generous for a reasonable price.
The marathon house salad is a top shelf side dish!
Basic, but comfortable atmosphere. Great food, especially for the price. Love their Marathon salad & Calamari. Portions are generous. Service is always friendly & quick. We go pretty often because it's always a satisfying experience.
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.
We have been eating here for several years. Always friendly service. The food is delicious. Generous portions. I love their chicken stick platter! Their chicken pita platter is just as good!
2023: excellent service. Gyro plate was nice. Would be better if the olives in the salad were pitted. Nice dressing. Good portions even for a small platter. 2019: Decent place but highly overrated. Generous proportions & okay service. I like getting take out from here but calling it the best Greek food means you really need to go out more.
