Clearly the reputation speaks for itself. Excellent quality on the chicken brochettes (which are thick compared to other places), the calamari & obviously the marvens sauce. theres a reason why places like this stick around, the food & quality is top notch

I found this place on social media & made the trip from Ottawa-wow, 10/10. The food & service were both incredible. The staff are so welcoming & polite!
The calamari & the Caesar salad were standout starters (I seriously need the recipe for that dressing!), & the steak was cooked to perfection. The portions are perfect, too. It gets very busy, but it is absolutely worth the wait. Compliments to the chef-I'll definitely be back!

Pros: Very delicious fried calamari (one of the best!). The food is tasty & the portions are generous-I often see people asking for boxes to take their leftovers. Great prices!

Cons: Cash only, but there's an ATM downstairs if I remember correctly. There was a long lineup every time we went. Sometimes it smells a bit, & when it's your turn to eat, the people waiting in line tend to watch you eat, which can be a bit unpleasant. They might even stare & drool while you're eating, so you end up enjoying your food even more right in front of a very hungry audience.

Like many Montrealers, I've been many time to this landmark numerous times before. I ordered the calamari appetizer. Normally top notch, this time around, it was just ok. Mainly because the frying oil needed replacement & as a result, it tasted burnt. The gyros plate was excellent. Like the calamari, the fries tasted off. It was soft outside & mushy inside. I will return but less often just to try other Greek restaurants in the area.

Portions are MORE THAN GENEROUS.
I would recommend to take one dish for two people. 🔥

Calamari: 8/10
Lamb skewers: 9/10
Steak & mushrooms: 9/10

Been coming to Marvens for many years, it's nice to see the familiar faces of the staff. They have excellent service, very clean place & giant portions. We've been visiting regularly for those delicious calamari, & lambchops, I think it's become our go to for delicious food. The prices are great, & you really have a fantastic atmosphere in there. The service is unmatched. They are always friendly, quick, & attentive. I've never had issues at marvens, feels like going home for a great a meal.

My family & I have been eating at Marven's for about seven to eight years now. Everytime we come to the restaurant I always get nostalgic about all the good times we have had there since I was a young boy. Marven's has always been a place where my family & I can come to enjoy amazing food & share laughs. The service is amazing, as soon as you walk through the doors you instantly get greeted by their amazing servers, not as another paying customer but as a guest in their'home'. Server's are always quick on their feet, the food always comes out in perfect intervals so as you finish eating their bread & tzatziki sauce, the salads & appetizers come out & after the main course. (They have it down to a tee). The food is phenomenal, from their delicious greek salad, to their crispy fried calamari, the juicy tender lamb chops, their pitas, chicken skewers & especially their amazingly juicy rib eye steak.

I don't usually leave reviews for restaurants but marven's has always been there for my family & I so I had to help them grow & attract more guests in hopes that those guests can build a relationship & memories with this restaurant such as I have.
