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.

The best Calamaris in town.
One of the best Greek restaurant, the food in very good, the service is fast.
Must look before ordering Lamb Chops. Sometimes they are nice & big, sometimes very small & not worth to order.
The steak is very good, nice, big & juicy. the only thing I do not like about this plate is the mushrooms. Mushrooms are ''sautés'', not fried & that is the way they cook the mushroom, deep fried. You just don't do that.
But I still recommend this place.

2 visites, 2 fois clients plus que satisfaits! Le resto en tant que tel est dur à repérer. C'est un resto de quartier qui semble modeste mais qui a en fait beaucoup de calibre.

C'est mon amie qui m'y a d'abord amenée pour que je goûte aux calmars (MIAM!) & au steak: je recommande fortement, au diable les dépenses, sérieusement!!!

Deuxième visite, c'est moi qui l'ai fait découvrir à un ami - & j'en ai parlé à ô combien d'autres. Cette fois, j'ai pris les calmars & l'agneau : toujours aussi bon.

À ma 3e visite, ce sera encore les calmars & le steak: désolée cher portefeuille, mais c'est vraiment le duo gagnant!

P.S. On n'y va pas pour le service, on y va pour les calmars ;)
