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.
If you want great Greek food & good value for your dollar then go no further than Marathon Souvlaki. The food was fresh, served fast & the staff was friendly. We have been here several times & we have never been disappointed.
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.
Grew up in Montreal & live in Calgary now, but am here for my yearly pilgrimage. Was introduced to Marathon 20 some years ago & always eat there at least once on my return to town. The food is awesome & the portions huge!!!! Ate there tonight with my sister. She had a souvlaki pita , I had the gyro plate...far from disappointed!!!!!! It was great!!!!! Our waiter Martin was also awesome, very friendly, talkative & efficient. Thank you sir. This is one of the best restaurants in Montreal & possible the whole country!!! A must visit!!! Thank you for an unbelievable meal & experience. You guys knock it outta the park every time!!!!! Cant believe there is one bad review.......some people are just complainers.....

I was really surprised how horrible the food was. I've always preferred this particular Marathons to others that are closer to me. I haven't been there in a few years & was very disappointed. I ordered medium lamb chops & had to send them back as they were soooonl fatty, there were NO grill marks which told me that the heat wasn't high enough & the server told me that it would have been better to order them well done so that the fat would have melted🙄really🤣 Also, the fries were hard & greasy but by this time I was so disgusted that I didn't complain & just told myself that I wouldn't go back.
Hello Well my family & I have been coming here for over 15 years & always loved the food. Today it is a different story I had ordered online & when I got to the restaurant they said no internet so had to show them my phone order. We ordered gyro plate with salad...got home & we started to eat. The gyro was so tasteless, dry & hard to chew.......rice was not up to the taste we are used to & salad was soggy. Then the bread that came with meal was so hard you could not bite into it. I was shocked to the point we threw most of it out .....it is not the Marathon we have known..........well they have lost my family from ever going back to Marathon again. Shame on this restaurant

Food was great as always but Peter made it better. Fantastic waiter with a great spirit. We had everything we needed without asking. The birthday song was everything!! Thanks to everyone there...you will never know how much that meant to us.💙
This is the best Greek restaurant ever! I cannot express enough the quality of food, the amazing service of everybody coming to our table bringning service joy & laughter! Besides that we were stunned & delighted to discover a good samaritan at the table next to us with 3 amazing daughters..what an exceptional father taking so well care of his daughters! Well this man gracefully paid all of our meals! They told us it was paid forward!😀😀😀😀 what a blessing! We all said yur joking but no they said were not joking!
Nous sommes rentrés par hasard car tout était fermé dans le coin fête nationale oblige . Le service a été super rapide , serveur très agréable & gentil . Les plats sont copieux & les prix sont très correctes .

Ordered to go was wrong Ordered 2 chicken plate Got pork large gyro had no sauce on the side Very disappointed that I had to throw out pork next time I will eat in so I can return order Laval location is much better It was 58 plus dollars wasted
The food is very good & the portions are great. The reason I give 2 stars is because of the service. The waitress displayed a dismissive attitude & she didn't ask us if we wanted garlic bread & we come especially to Marathon for their garlic bread. Even after we asked for it, it was never brought to our table. After serving our food, she never returned to check on us. While the food was amazing, the poor service overshadowed it.
