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 wish more restaurants were like Marathon's DDO, great service, consistent food & small things like having half rice / half potatoes with salad isn't a big complication, it's encouraged! Thanks ☺️

Not the place for a quiet romantic dinner. Very busy, loud & all over the place. Many families with kids not behaving. The waiter was very good at helping us choose our meal in order to save a few dollars. Food was ok. Quick service. Huge parking but since there is a very busy cinema next door, it gets hard to find a close spot. Better to drop the crew off & then park.
My family & I were very disappointed, the service was unacceptable, the waiter spent more time speaking to other patrons instead of focusing on his own, it took him over 20 minutes to come to our table even though the place was empty, never once did he come by to ask us if we needed anything after finally getting our meal which wasn't that good.
Hi! The Chicken Brochette plate was the best one I've eaten! We shared calamari, which was delicious, & they began the meal with a garlic bread appetizer, enough for everyone! The service was excellent. All of our meals arrived together. Every order was at our convenience. Explanations were clear. Water & drink service was continual & they had unique three-way water jugs to serve from anywhere on the table by the waiter. The Brochette was among the highest priced dishes but it was well worth it. I could only eat half! I took the rest home in the nicest, reusable, washable box I've ever seen. I thought I saw a baby Nipsey, too. So cute! He probably had nothing to do with it, but live on! Happy 90th birthday, Bernard's Mami!
This is one of my go to restaurants when I come to the west island. I love greek food & marathons on dessources will always be one of my top places. The prices are reasonable & & are full of flavour. Definitely a good choice for special occasions.
Great food & top notch service as usual. Been coming here for over 10 years & though the prices have changed (with reason) the quality & service haven't.
The staff was so kind ! We came for a pick up , they realized as we were leaving that there was a mistake in the order & ran after us to fix it. Even gave us an extra gyros !😊 really appreciate the food & great service thank you!
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!
