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.
Let me tell you right away, it's a great place & great cuisine! It's my first time & I had a very good impression, I recommend it to everyone! But that's not all, the price for dinner turned out to be very expensive, amazingly. The service was great too!!!!

For a sit down restaurant, nothing beats Marathon's. It's almost impossible to finish your plate & the prices are very reasonable. There is a reason it's always busy. Great food, great prices & very fast service.
Our waitress Electra was exceptional, all the staff are lovely, & although not all the food is authentic Greek it's still so delicious & well priced, absolutely worth the visit!
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.
Lunch special was basically regular price lol, but we got the gyro plate & pita. Very good 😊 checkout us out at @mtlfoodbros on IG/tik Tok for our review video :)

Do NOT come here for parties or if you want a relaxed, enjoyable evening with family & friends.
Very rushed dining experience.
After we payed we were told to leave promptly.
We had my wife's 40th birthday party here because she loves greek food. The food is good & our server Angelo was very nice, I would give him 5 stars. Now why the low rating?
After dinner we had the birthday cake & shortly after we all paid our bill, the server came up to us & said that his superior (I don't know if it was the manager or owner) had told him to tell us that we had to leave because they had another group coming in. First & foremost, the manager should have came directly to me to say this personally, not have his server take this upon his shoulders, this is a severe lacks of professionalism & respects for his employee & guests. My server felt extremely embarassed & ashamed for being told to ask us to leave, especially after sharing a slice of birthday cake with us. He was amazed by the cake so I offered him a slice which he ate speedily because he is working & does not want to disrespect his other guests but it was nice for him to join us even if it was brief. This restaurant is very busy because the food is good & the price is fair for the portions you get BUT if you can't handle a reservation for a medium sized group like this then don't take the reservation. I don't want to say it ruined my wife's 40th birthday party but it ended on a bad note. This restaurant should have been honest enough to say on the phone they don't want us staying long because this is the sort of place that wants you to eat & then get out. Had I known this, I would have made reservations elsewhere.
I am a long time customer of Marathons because they have a few locations. Highly doubtful I would ever step foot into this particular location again & I definitely don't recommend doing & event here.
The food is good but this experience has left a sour taste in my mouth.
The place to go for Gyro in the West Island. I live off the island & make it a point to go there for the best gyro. Great service, great staff & reasonable prices. The marathon house salad is amazing too!
Honestly I have been going there since the age of 12 & now I am 47. First time I'm highly disappointed. They change their garlic bread to a PITA bread ..that's a very bad move. You can't change the legend food. I'm pretty sure people loved their garlic bread & most of them use to go there to eat that b4 having their meal. First off all they change the size of the bread & now they completely replaced with PITA . I really didn't appreciate this at all. You have raised your price drastically & cut down on my favorite part of Marathon Souvlaki food. Really not impressed at all. I don't think I ll ever go back to eat there untill bread is back . When I told this to waiter . He really didn't care about my suggestion & my dissatisfaction. He goes to me you only come here to eat BREAD . **im like what kind of question is that ** He also told me that this bread is DISCONTINUED. Do you want me to laugh on this BIG LIE. I just couldn't believe it ... Than he told me oh everything is getting so expensive so we had to change it. Than i told him how PAPPOU SOUVLAKI is serving the same bread . I just couldn't believe & I left ....
