Overall, Marathon Souvlaki comes across as a reliable, family friendly Greek spot with fresh, flavorful food, generous portions, and friendly, efficient service at a fair price. The menu staples like gyros, souvlaki, pita dishes, and the marathon salad are repeatedly praised, with many noting fast service, easy parking, and a welcoming atmosphere. Some reviews mention moments of inconsistency in quality or portion sizes over the years, louder peak hours, and occasional takeout experiences that aren’t perfect, but the restaurant remains a popular go-to for casual Greek meals.
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.
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.

Very friendly staff. We went just before closing & food still tasted fresh. They did not rush us to finish or to leave. Excellent experience. Will be back.

Amazing Greek spot! The food was fresh & delicious, portions are big, & the staff was so warm & friendly. Everything we ordered hit the spot. Definitely recommend & will be back!
Solid Greek flavors with room to grow - Souvlaki delivers a satisfying experience.
I enjoyed the meal overall - the grilled meats were flavorful & well-cooked, especially the chicken souvlaki. The tzatziki was fresh & tangy, & the portions were generous. Service was courteous, though a bit slow during peak hours. The atmosphere is casual & welcoming, but the interior could use a bit of refreshing.
A good spot for a relaxed Greek meal, & with a few small improvements, it could be great.
I'm actually apologize. I was too hungry to take a photo, but it was soooo good. The ingredients are fresh & the recipes are both classic & delicious. If you are already a fan of Greek food then you'll love it. If you want to explore Greek food, you'll still love it.
The food, particularly the meats, are cooked to perfection & extremely well-seasoned. The portion sizes are very generous making this a great value for your money meal. The salads are very fresh & equally abundant with huge chunks of feta. The atmosphere is festive & family-oriented, & a great place for repeat & regular visits.
