Overall Marathon Souvlaki is seen as a dependable and affordable option for Greek cuisine in Montreal, delivering a welcoming atmosphere and reliable flavors that keep regulars coming back, even as opinions differ on certain dishes and days.
Always fresh Greek taverna style food. Wonderful staff with attentative & pompt service. Enjoyed the chicken souvlaki pita player & large gyro platter with my spouse. The honey balls with nuts - a true dessert delight to finish the night. Its busy which is good but can get loud during peak hours. Free parking & easy access off of Decarie Express Way.
Food is delicious, wait staff is always friendly. However, the portions have really shrunk in the past couple of years. Disappointing to be getting less of that delicious Marathon salad than I did a few years ago
Très très bon ,portion généreuse avec plein de bons goût & qualités des assiettes.Service excellent.Beaucoup de personnes savent que C est bon ,alors beaucoup de gens ,beaucoup de bruit.....mais cela vaut le détour....✨✨
I popped in looking for a decent quality gyro at a fair price. I paid $14 for a chicken pita gyro with fries & a drink. The freshness, taste & obvious attention to quality is superb. This is probably the best lunch deal anywhere in Montreal. Add free parking & the fact that it's close to Walmart, Addison Electronics & other stores & it's about as great a deal as I've come across in Montreal.
Celebrated my nieces birthday today a group of about 30 including young children, the service was absolutely insane…. The 2 waiters that took care of us 10/10. Between the children running around in their way & the noise levels these 2 guys really killed it, the food came out quick & every plate was perfect. Thank you!!!
It's 2026 time to separate your salad from your main dish. Every time I eat there I get dirty & my food falls all over the table. I feel like a little kid. & when you ask for salad on the side even worse the give you to side plates stuffed to the top.
Meilleur tout... Salade Marathon est super bonne... je ne peux pas m'en passer
Ça c'etait mon commentaire & maintenant je ne veux plus y aller.... Les salade sont vieilles, les assiette ont diminuer de 1/2 les proportions & se n'est pas fris comme avant & la derniere commande j'ai eu du boeuf (dure en TA) aulieu du poulet... Ca vaut pas 20$ surtout quand la salade etait toute rouillé (vieille) leproprio commence a changer les ingredients, portion extremement minime. Avant t'avais une grosse portion de riz & patate & la brochette sur le dessus....
C'est rendu une vrai joke il va falloir faire un changement & revenir comme avant car le Baton rouge va prendre votre clientele 100%
Ordered on Uber Eats requesting extra tzatziki in my pita & they put none lol if you didn't want to add the extra that's fine but putting none after I spent 30$ on a souvlaki plate feels disrespectful - I want my money back !
They have had better days,some very good & some not so much.
Please be consistent cause I really do love this restaurant.
I was a huge fan of Zorba's once upon a time but they closed down & it is very difficult to find places of this caliber.
