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!!!!

We had an incredible experience at Marathon Souvlaki, & a huge part of that was thanks to Thomas. We were a group of ten celebrating a party, & from the moment he greeted us, he brought energy, humour, & professionalism to the table.
Thomas is genuinely funny, dynamic, & completely in his element. He handled our large group effortlessly, kept everything running smoothly, & had us laughing throughout the evening without ever missing a beat. His timing, attention to detail, & warm personality made everyone feel welcome & taken care of.
It's rare to find a waiter who can elevate an entire evening the way Thomas did - he truly made our night memorable. Exceptional service, great vibes, & an unforgettable experience. If you're lucky enough to have Thomas as your waiter, you're in for a fantastic time!
Highly recommended 👏🍽?

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.
This is one of the only restaurants Iwould say I goto regularly. I usually go for lunch whether on weekdays or weekends & the service & food are consistently top-notch. This place has good quality food & quick service. The staff actually look like they are enjoying their work environment. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants a great no fuss, but excellent quality Greek meal. Also, if you're in a rush, they will get you in & out quickly.

Service was fast but they're absolutely not rushing you out the door. Fantastic restaurant with great food & excellent service. I would highly recommend this place.
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!
One of our favorites! Super family friendly, great portions, fair price & very fast service! Would highly recommend if you're looking for a good greek feast.
Got seated quickly. Food was delicious & quick. I probably waited 5 minutes for it. I definitely do recommend it & it's worth the detour instead of going to the closest one. I also got mints at the end. Overall, service is incredible
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.

Whether you choose to dine in or opt for takeout, you can always expect excellent service & consistently high-quality food. I highly recommend the marathon salad with the gyro pita!
Food & service was top notch! We tried out several items such as Lamb Chops, chicken brochette, Greek Salad, fried cheese, Calamari, chicken souvlaki in pita & we ordered the pitcher for the coke. All items tasted great! Food was served on time. Our server was very good too! Definitely recommend!
