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.
I'm addicted to their rice. It's comfort food. Just had it with a chicken stick & house salad. The chicken is tender, juicy & succulent. Sometimes it's nice to eat out & feel you're eating healthy.
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.

I've been going here for 20+ years. It's sad to say that quality went down tremendously. I used to love the marathon salad with a sweet light dressing. Now it's seems like a heavy mayo dressing which is not appetizing. My souvlaki pita was okay, the bread was very stale. This happened from my last few visits. I don't think I will be coming back unless the recipe is back to what it used to be. Good luck!
Rice is mid city, get the potatoes instead. Cheesecake is whatever, wouldn't order it again, just fine. Chicken souvlaki is good, not dry & good grill flavour. Good portion of Greek salad. Good service from the staff 👍
Cheap fast Greek Food is the name of the game here. The chicken in the gyro was dry & the Greek salad was bland. I like to cook & I feel that I could do it better myself at home. It's saving grace is that the food came quick & it's affordable.
Visited this place for the first time on Saturday, the 6th September, 2025. We had done phone booking in advance. So, we didn't have to wait long before we got table to order. The place was full with 100 % capacity. The waiter came within few minutes to take our order & it was delivered to the table within ten minutes. The seekh kebab was served with potatoes, rice & salad. The kebab was very delicious.
If you want to visit this place, must book your table in advance over the phone.
Free mall parking. I come all the time just for the Marathon salad for over a decade now. The plates are huge so the'small' plates are enough for most people. The place is always busy, but the service remains friendly & efficient. My niece loves fried calamari & says this place has the best one.
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.
Thank you Marathon!

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.
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.
