Marathon Souvlaki is widely praised for hearty Greek comfort food, with generous portions and reliable, quick service whether dining in or taking out. The menu features popular items like souvlaki, lamb chops, calamari and Greek salad, and many reviews highlight good value for money and consistent quality. The atmosphere is described as lively and welcoming, suited for families or large groups, with several visits noted as outstanding for friendly, attentive service. A few concerns appear about occasional slower service during busy times and certain changes to dishes like the salad dressing or bread, but overall the restaurant remains a dependable, affordable staple in the area.
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.
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.

Best bang for your buck.! Best souvlaki in town! Always consistent & delish! Super down to earth friendly staff. My favorite place in the west island:)))
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!

This place has been open for as long as I can remember & the quality has always been up to par. Every plate is delicious & the portions are huge...I usually always end up with leftovers so you definitely get your money's worth. Their takeaway is also as good as if you are eating there. We always opt for it when we dont fel like cooking.
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 visited on Sunday evening, & the restaurant was relatively quiet. The food was good than we expected. However, although the restaurant was not full, the male server appeared disengaged. It took a very long time just to get water. Unfortunately, service seems to be an issue in many places, as staff often appear enthusiastic only when it comes time to receive tips.
