Marathon Souvlaki in the Décarie district of Montreal, 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.
Marathon Souvlaki reads like a Montreal Greek staple known for fresh, flavorful food, generous portions and solid value, with the Marathon salad and tzatziki singled out as must haves and the grilled meats reliably juicy and well seasoned. The menu covers gyro, souvlaki, calamari, and pita plates, and the food often arrives hot and quick, making it a popular choice for families and casual meals. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and efficient, though a few reviews note crowding, noise, or slow moments during peak hours, and some have reported inconsistency in meat quality or salad freshness at times. Takeout is common, with generally good quality and portions, but a few diners complain about packaging or extra charges for dressing. 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.
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.

The calamaries are very rubbery & dry-like chewing on an old elastic band that's been left out in the sun. No flavor, no tenderness, just endless jaw work & disappointment.
C est toujours excellent & le personnels super sympathique & la nourriture je vous le dit l essayer c' est l' adopter c' est le seul resto qui m as pas diminuer ses portions
Staff très immature. Au lieu de s'occuper des clients, ils préfèrent parler entre eux & ignorer les clients sans même s'en cacher. Manque de professionnalisme total. Une seule employée dévouée sur environ 10 employés sur le plancher.
We took the wrong turn while in Montreal, & we saw Decarie boulevard traffic is bumper to bumper so we decided to eat. I'm glad that we chose marathon souvlaki as this Greek restaurant is a notch above other Greek places. I'll let the pictures to speak, but we were happy we chose to eat there
