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.
I heard that this place was so good & they did not disappoint. Enjoyed the lamb chops. So flavorful & large portions. The calamari appetizer was surprisingly good - perfectly cooked & not the usual chewy squid texture.
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.
Marven's is hands down the best Greek restaurant I've been to! Been coming from Ottawa especially to eat here for the past 30 years very consistent, staff treats us like family. Service is fast, staff very courteous & food is AMAZING! Rib steak, calamari & lamb chops are the best I've had, their house sauce is great, authentic food amazing flavours.
It was really really yummy food!!!! :) It was such a delightful experience. The lamb chops were absolutely delicious. Kind of wished I ordered 10 pieces instead of 5. The calamaris were extremely soft & delicious & such a big portion!! We really the experience. Highly recommend!!!!
Arrived at 6pm on Tuesday night, had 30min wait. So worth it. The food was delicious !!! Calamari , steaks, lamb chops, shrimps, salmon all cooked to perfection! Staff all friendly & efficient ! was impeccable! 5 stars !!!
My family's go-to to celebrate our birthdays! Since last year we've been going go Marven's to celebrate all our birthdays. We usually get the lamb chops, calamari, & the steak plate. I've been going for years (more than a decade) & the quality remains the same & the service is great! The staff are super friendly.
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!
I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant so me & my wife went for a dinner on a busy Saturday night.
we heard that they have the best fresh calamari.so,first of all ,this is a frozen calamari,from China,it tasted like gum with too much salt,if I want to eat salt I can do it in my own house.
now,the best lamb chops,really?
my lamb chops were so dry & burned,I guess when its gets busy,they can't take the pressure in the kitchen.
enough said,the lesson here is clear,don't believe to what you hear,go try it for yourself.
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.
