Marven's est perçu comme une institution montréalaise de cuisine grecque, un restaurant familial de Parc Extension où les portions généreuses et la valeur des plats restent constantes, l'ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale et le service rapide et attentif sont souvent cités en point fort. Les calamars frits et les côtelettes d'agneau, le souvlaki et les plats de steak grillé, accompagnés de pita et de salade grecque avec tzatziki maison, reviennent fréquemment comme des classiques du menu, tout comme la sauce secrète qui ajoute une touche appréciée. Bien que l'enthousiasme soit majoritaire, la fréquentation peut générer des files d'attente, surtout le week-end, et l'établissement fonctionne en grande partie en espèces avec un distributeur sur place; ce n'est pas idéal pour tous, et quelques critiques signalent des améliorations possibles au niveau de l'organisation en période d'affluence ou du confort. Dans l'ensemble, l'expérience reste chaleureuse et rassurante, caractérisée par des portions généreuses et des plats bien travaillés qui en font une destination régulière pour ceux qui recherchent de la nourriture grecque authentique et abordable dans une ambiance familiale.
Best Greek shrimp salad ever! Friendly, welcoming & nicely seated. Very nice atmosphere. Nice presentation & normal portions of food being served. Adequate quality vs price. Just carry cash, no credit cards. Thank you so much. Absolutely coming back.

A deliciousy fresh meal & a great amount of food for the price. Make sure to have cash because it is cash only. The money spent gets a lot of food. Pictured is the two gyro plate with fries & rice which comes with a big Greek salad (with the best feta I've had in Montréal) & three pieces of garlic bread. I also ordered their platter of the calamari. Other reviews raved about the calamari & I see why: it is lightly fried & it is the largest portion of calamari I've ever seen. This meal for $52 could have fed two people & there still would have been leftovers.

Stumbled upon this quaint little Greek restaurant, & WOW! Totally impressed!!! Amazing service, lovely atmosphere, excellent food. We were only here for quick appetizers, but having seen some of the other dishes that were being served, we will be back. Huge portions! Calamari were excellent! Spanakopita was good (could have cooked a tiny bit longer, though). Looking forward to coming back & trying some other dishes, for sure! Thank you 😊
Still a great spot to eat greek food! It's always difficult to find a spot to eat, as there is a perpetual lineup at this famous restaurant. Their secret sauce is the magic ingredient that distinguishes them from all competition 😉 its not a quiet spot to eat, it's always hectic & rushed, but that's the price you pay for fame. Keep it going guys!
It's Marven's. A greek institution. While I lament the loss of their calamari supplier, I still think the food is fantastic & super cheap for what you get. You really can't go wrong with anything you order, just be careful with the pitas cuz sometimes they're a bit....loose, let's just say. All in all, great food, great service. Go there.
Do not order their greek style whole chicken. Tasted boiled then bbq lightly. Barely seasoned. It was awful. We left 4 pieces & did not take the rest home. Yes that's how bad it was. Tzatziki is so so. Salad was pitiful, with soft feta. What remains good is their marvens sauce & good service. But that's not enough to beat competition which is not far from them, see my other review. Wish it was like before years back but it's lost its touch.

Fried calamari were decent but lacked tenderness. The meat was very salty & not very tender. Caesar salad: average . Greek salad: good. The service was perfect. It's a loud place so hearing my friends wasn't easy. The only beer is Greek & there is no alcohol free beer. Cash only.
The food is delicious really delicious & the portions are huge, we had calamari 😋as entire & steak the flavour was amazing & chicken gyros so tasty ,& the staff were so friendly & our waiter Peter was so kind & sweetheart, will come back for sure ♥️♥️ If you love Greek food I highly recommend it 👍👍
Attentive service & amazing food. The place is pretty small for how popular they are, so expect at least a 20 minute wait during peak hours. The lamb chops are flavorful & tender. Calamari is just lightly breaded & crispy & fresh. Greek salad comes with a block of feta cheese & not just feta crumbles. Highly recommend their pork gyro pita. Very large portion we had so much leftover to bring home.
