This place is a gem, the waiters while a little rough around the edges are attentive & responsive. I sampled the olive plate, greek salad, calamari & the lamb chops, all of which were exceptional & very generous servings. Get there early or you'll be waiting in line.

Does this place really need a review? Probably not but I'll give one anyway. They do rib steak better than most steakhouses in this city, their calamari is unmatched & their portions are huge for fair prices. The only complaint is that they are so busy the wait time can be long & the noise level high. Definitely 5 stars

Best Greek grill in Montreal, since 1973 ! We've been coming for years & never disappoints.
The rib steak is truly amazing, tender & expertly grilled. It's served with sautéed mushrooms, chunky home fries, & a huge Greek salad.
Don't forget their calamari & tender lamb chops.
Special thanks to Jimmy & Peter, for the exceptional service.
This is a landmark in Montreal, & truly worth a trip to Park Extension. There may be lineups, but it's worth it.

Note : Cash only, but there's an ATM onsite.

I've been here a few times-usually go for the Calamari & Lamb chops. Today, we tried the Steak, & I like it. It was tender, juicy, & cooked just the way we wanted. The portion was generous too.

STILL ONE OF THE BEST!
I've already given Marven's a 5-star review before, but I feel the need to update it because every time I come back with my family, the experience remains just as excellent. The service is consistently great, the staff is super friendly, & even though the place gets pretty crowded at times, the atmosphere stays warm & enjoyable. Plus, parking is never a hassle you can always find a spot around the block.

Now, let's talk about the food. We had the Lamb Chops, Salmon, Steak, Chicken, & of course their signature dish the Calamari with their famous Secret Sauce. Absolutely delicious! As always, the meal starts with some bread, followed by a salad of your choice, & then your main course.

The flavors never disappoint. My family & I enjoy every visit, & it has become one of our go-to spots for a satisfying meal.

If you haven't tried Marven's yet, I highly recommend it, you won't regret it!

*edit: unfortunately like many other good restaurants the food has changed here. Not sure if it's new chefs but the food doesn't even taste like Greek food anymore. Feels salty & tastes like heavily doused in Montreal steak spice & other strange flavors. The pitas aren't even wrapped properly, like someone who never made a pita before. It's sad because the service staff is so nice & it's a staple in the community. Hopefully it will get better again like to used to be.

Always the the best chicken/porc souvlaki & calamari. When most restaurants are giving smaller portions, lesser quality, Marvens doesn't change their portions, freshness & flavors! The service is always great at takeout . Keep it up!

Very tasty food. Even with the higher prices it's still ok because you're getting real food!

They need to wrap their pitas with wax paper or something. It's a wet mess! One layer of wrapping is not enough for takeout. But still yummy!

Been eating here for years...Porc souvlaki pita or stick is great! Big portion, good flavour & lean but soft. Calamari is great when it's hot & crispy & the oil doesn't taste fishy... same goes for the fries. Chicken gyro is very good too. The lamb gyro needs improvement...they need to slice it a lot thinner & it should be leaner. Overall would definitely recommend.
