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.
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.
I love the food, test is really good.
I order Calamari, Beef, Lamp chop & come with Greek Salad & Cesar Salad for 3 pax, we are not finish the plate.
The Calami is really good, big portion. appetizer that you will never miss it if you go there.
Great Customer service, he is very friendly.
First come first serve, so a bit of long wait time.
No credit card, Cash only( they have ATM machine In the basement)
This is for Marven's DELIVERY option via either UBER EATS or DOOR DASH!! I order the 2 porc souvlaki skewers with Greek salad, rice & fried potato. 1st the staff are great at getting the order done fast! 2nd the presentation is excellent, u feel like u are getting exactly what u would expect if a restaurant is treating u right when delivering food to u! the salad comes in it's own container, very nice looking, with a transparent lid allowing u to see the salad which is a nice touch, in a separate container, which again is very nice looking, u have the two pork skewers, fried potato wedges & rice nicely presented! 3rd, the food is delicious, the salad is fresh, large & excellent, lettuce, tomato, black olives, peppers, thinly sliced onion, & comes with a lovely vinaigrette. The 2 pork souvlakis skewers are perfectly cooked & tasty, the rice is perfect, the fries are tasty & also perfectly cooked (Add on a very tasty sauce that comes with it which adds a nice zest to the meal) U get a generous serving of everything. So, quick recap, quick preparation for delivery, excellent presentation, generous portions & delicious food! Highly recommend! The meal also comes with hot bread in aluminum foil.
Hands down the best Greek food in Montreal. Service is always on point & top Notch. Amazing value & nothing on the menu will leave you disappointed. Staff is super friendly & welcoming. A Montreal staple that lives up to their name & reputation. A must try if you've never been. You won't regret it!!
Good to be back in Montreal & needed my fix of good Greek food. I decided to try Marven's because of their Google Maps score & it did not disappoint. Perfect Montreal Greek style with char-grilled bread, authentic tzatziki with lots of garlic, & terrific souvlaki plate with high quality ingredients (feta, pork, rice, tomatoes, etc). Their signature Marven's sauce was a surprise - really tasty - I tried it sparingly at first & then ended up pouring it all over my plate 😂. The service & atmosphere were also excellent.
A family Greek restaurant that emphasis in quality , large portions & great taste of food . One of the best Calamari/Squid dishes I had in a Greek restaurant , there are planets of choices to chose for .
Is more a family oriented type of restaurant that a fancy one ,more like a family type of gathering place .
I highly recommend it if you like quality Greek dishes .
The price of dishes is great for the quality & portion size . Takes at least 20 min before the social gathering as sometimes is a wait of 15-25 min .
As is such popular place !
