I hadn't been here for over 15 years, but not only is the food still legendary, they are just as kind & welcoming as I remember. The pork gyro is one of the best things you will ever eat!! Nut allergy friendly too :)

Hands down the BEST souvlaki I have ever had! It's not a secret that my favourite meal is chicken, rice & salad & this was next level. The meat was cooked absolutely perfectly. We ordered a spare skewer of pork which was so tender! The Marathon salad dressing was delicious as was the rice. We also ordered the tzatziki which came with this beautifully toasted pita drizzled with olive oil & Greek seasoning. Hubby had the pork gyro which was massive! My plate was huge & I could barely finish it. I can see why this place has been open for so many years; it's a gem & I look forward to returning!
c'étais bien! Un peu dispendieux pour une assiette pita gyro mais il sont bons! Il manque unpeu de poulet dans les pitas pour un 5 étoiles mais les à côtés sont des portions généreuses!
Hadn't been here for some time. I didn't enjoy what we bought on this last visit. I was used to better. I'm addition, I don't know if this is the norm, but $20 for 2 chicken gyros was a little too expensive to my taste. Wasn't impressed this time around.

Great Service, but I don't know what happend,
they started serving the gyros with arabic pita, & the tzadziki was thin like it was cut sour cream, what is next on the list, cut the pork for beef?
I ordered for delivery, so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere. However, the food is simply magnificent
- The meat is delicious, well seasoned & full of flavour
- Their Tzatziki is perfect
- The food (Gyros platters or pita) are the best in town
Generous quantity of food
This THE best place to get gyros or souvlaki. Flavor is always right, you have to be a little patient because they cook your food on the charcoal as you order it, but the wait is really worth it.
J'ai fais une commande sur place
1.service rapide
2 .cachiers souriantes

Merci.

Great Greek Chicken Gyro plate with delicious Marathon Salad & crispy fries. You cannot go wrong with a Large plate of Chicken Gyro. Good portion of chicken.
I highly recommend!!!
Ordered online & went inside for pick-up, & they sent us around to Marathon Express entrance for pick-up who told us to go back to the restaurant entrance for pick-up of the delivery. Once having returned back to the restaurant for pick-up, all the individuals in the kitchen/behind the counter were smirking at us, without any apology for the mix-up they had. Despite the good food, we will surely not go back with the poor service received. Many other souvlaki/gyro restaurants around with better service.
