Review Summary

Marven's is widely celebrated as a legendary Montreal staple, known for serving generous portions of authentic Greek cuisine in a warm, cozy, and family-oriented atmosphere. The menu, highlighted by their famous crispy calamari, succulent lamb chops, and expertly grilled steaks, consistently earns high praise for quality and flavor. While the restaurant experiences frequent lineups due to its immense popularity, guests generally find the efficient service and overall value well worth the wait. Although the establishment operates on a cash-only basis and can become quite busy and loud, the welcoming staff and classic neighborhood feel keep local patrons and visitors coming back for years.

Impossibly crowded restaurant which, unfortunately , doesn't create a good first impression when you are waiting in the doorway for your table. Staff does a remarkable job trying to accommodate every arrival. The food is good, your basic chicken, pork, or lamb on a pita or in a platter, but I have to ask myself is it worth the wait? Cash only & no reservations makes little sense & seems to accommodate the owner more than the customers. Don't think I will be back for awhile.

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.
