Marven's is widely praised as a Park Extension staple with a warm, family atmosphere, where generous portions and consistently bold Greek flavors like fried calamari, lamb chops, souvlaki and rib steak have made it a go to for locals and visitors alike. Reviewers emphasize fast, attentive service and a lively, welcoming vibe, even when the house is busy, with a wood burning grill adding a distinctive char to many dishes and a signature sauce that patrons love to smother on their plates. The menu is described as reliable and affordable for the size of the portions, though crowds can mean long lines on weekends, cash only payments and occasional notes of strong noise or a rare hiccup in quality. While most experiences are glowing and nostalgic, a few visits are mentioned as less than perfect including a bad batch of calamari, a day with dry gyro or missing ingredients, and concerns about upkeep and cleanliness in some parts of the venue. Taken together the reviews portray Marven's as a Montreal icon that delivers hearty, authentic Greek food, large portions, and consistently friendly service, with the caveat that patience and cash are useful when dining there.

One of the best Greek restaurants in the heart of Montreal. Best souvlaki pita wrap! Highly recommend their lamb & chicken souvlaki followed by their fried calamari.

Long wait to be seated but completely worth it. The souvlaki is cooked to perfection & spiced beautifully (pork & chicken). We saw everyone ordering the calamari starter (which is quite literally a mountain of calamari on a plate) so we ordered as well & found out why (spoiler alert: tasty!). & the tzatziki! It's like ambrosia! I could eat it with anything & everything; it's that good. Finally, the wait staff were timely, attentive, & kind despite the full house.

The calamaris were amazing, the chicken & pork souvlakis & gyro meat were all tasty & actually very good. But the service was just horrible. Not only did our waitress basically ignore us. I ordered the Gyro Mix which is one gyro pita & one chicken pita. She told me they were out of chicken souvlakis but I could get a pork one. no problem. I get my plate. I have one chicken pita & one pork. No gyro meat at all. I dint complain because I'm not the type. But still.... I don't get why she had to lie. My boyfriends gyro plate was amazing though. Also the calamari entree is tiny! For $15 we were all very surprised to see how small the plate was. Also they still do not take cards. Beware I saw some reviews that said they did... but they dont. Also the place is horribly loud & crowded.
