Review Summary

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.

Ordered here in the past for take out & the food is pretty good. Came in for lunch & the menu doesn't say what's included. The server didn't say anything but we asked & there was a choice of salad, rice or fries or both. I would maybe understand if it was busy but it was not. Also they only accepted cash during our visit.

If you grew up in the Montreal area, you know Marven's & the amazing staff ALWAYS delivers on their taste & friendly service. The ONLY reason it's missing 1 star even after their renovations is because of the A/C. If you get a chance to visit Marven's, here are the basics you gotta order: Ribsteak, Lamb chops & calamari. Please do yourselves the favor & take it with the greek salad. Thank you Marven's for the years of supplying us with the exceptional experience!

Quality of food has gone down extremely; especially their pita plates. They are willing to serve cold, overcooked meat stuffed into a pita that's mostly empty ... hardly any tomatoes, onions or tzatziki to help make the pita less dry. The Caesar salad was made with old wilted lettuce, the fries were limp & cold, as well as the rice. Used to be one of the best places to eat souvlaki, is now on my list to avoid. Service was mediocre, bus boy was the best out of everyone there. As well, the cash only policy needs to go; who carries cash nowadays, & why do they only want cash?

Du meilleur au pire ! J'allais chez Marven's pour leur assiette de calmars. Ils étaient réputés comme étant les meilleurs en ville. Hélas, ceux que j'ai mangé étaient pitoyables, les pires que j'ai jamais mangés. Caoutchouteux, tranchés à plus d'un pouce d'épaisseur. Le riz fade & froid. Les frites... La salade grecque sans concombres & avec un morceau de feta de qualité inférieure. C'est à mon avis ce qui arrive à ce restaurant. Le resto est plus sale que jamais. Ils ont augmenté leurs prix mais en vous servant de la nourriture de qualité moindre. De plus, ils ne prennent ni interac ni crédit. N'y allez pas.
