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.
The wait time on Sunday evening for supper was not long.
The service was friendly & cordial. We got our food in a timely manner.
The food was delicious & abundant.
The bill was moderate.
The experience is definitely worth the money you spend. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in the West Island.
I have been ordering from here for years . However, recently I ordered from here & was ill. It was the type of illness that people get eating at a street food stall in a 3rd world country. I also noticed a new employee…..Therefore, I suspect an employee hygiene issue.
My souvlaki on pita with fries & fries was good & tasty & didn't disappoint. I hadn't been to Marathon souvlaki in years & it was nice to be back. Staff were great.

Our waitress Electra was exceptional, all the staff are lovely, & although not all the food is authentic Greek it's still so delicious & well priced, absolutely worth the visit!
The food is always consistent however, I think this is the only Greek restaurant in Montreal that makes you pay for Taziki sauce when you order a plate of food…very odd & annoying!!! a bit of a scam & I'm surprised they're still doing it after all these years to be honest. Not sure if I'm crazy for paying for it or they're crazy for still charging me for it lol
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.
