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.

Food was good & portions are very generous. However, they don't take reservations & you have to wait in line. While waiting, there's an unpleasant urine smell coming from the men urinals downstairs. Parking is also difficult, especially on snow removal days. They take cash only. For those reasons, it wouldn't be my usual go-to Greek restaurant.

Grew up in parc extension , still go to the area often. Really respect what this place represents. One of the first real restaurants I have ever been to; first time back in 2013 & most recently in 2025. Hope this place continues to stand the test of time.

Wait time is never long for food or otherwise.

Great experience at Marven's. Best calamari in town, generous portions, & a nice variety of food on the menu. Loved the service as well - friendly & efficient. Just make sure to bring cash, as they don't accept cards. Definitely worth a visit.

The best calamari I've eaten in my life by far. The sauce that goes with it is exquisite. They only take cash but there is an atm machine in the basement. I suggest to have a reservation. The price is reasonnable for the quantity of food.

Best calamari in town!!! The chicken souvlaki on pita is also good but not to the same level as the calamari. Parking in the street can be difficult & best to arrive early if going for dinner because on the weekends their is a lineup outside. Also you can only pay by cash so make sure you bring cash.
