Marathon Souvlaki DDO is widely regarded as a staple for delicious Greek cuisine in the West Island, consistently praised for its generous portion sizes, fresh ingredients, and excellent value. Many patrons highlight the chicken souvlaki, lamb chops, and signature salad as standout menu items, noting that the restaurant provides a reliable and welcoming atmosphere for families and friends. While the majority of guests report exceptional service, noting that specific staff members go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience, some visitors have expressed concerns regarding occasional service inconsistencies, noise levels during busy hours, and recent changes to certain recipes like the salad dressing and bread. Despite some mixed feedback on minor adjustments to the menu and occasional peak-hour congestion, the overall sentiment remains highly positive, with many loyal customers returning for years due to the restaurant's quality, efficiency, and comfort-food appeal.
Our experience was outstanding from start to finish.
We were a large group & had reserved in advance. We arrived about 15 minutes early. The team still accommodated us right away & made the transition smooth for everyone.
Niko took care of our table & delivered hospitality at the highest level.
He was attentive at all times.
He moved quickly.
He checked on every detail.
He stayed available the entire evening even while the restaurant was completely full.
Managing a large table is not easy. Drinks, orders, timing, requests. Niko handled everything with precision & calm. Nothing was missed. Service stayed fast & organized the entire night.
You could see that he genuinely cares about the guest experience. That level of service makes a big difference when dining with a large group.
If you visit, ask for Niko. He sets the standard for service.
Highly recommended. 5/5.

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!
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.
