Marathon Souvlaki Laval

Haven't been there in over 10 years from a bad experience. I went recently ..wow. great service good staff and amazing fresh food. Strongly suggest.

Fantastic experience! Chris's big smile and the super attentive service set the tone. The souvlaki was super delicious, the place was super clean, and the Greek music was superb. Highly recommend!

I used to love this restaurant and recommended it to many people over the years. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was really disappointing. I ordered one combo and one pita, and the chicken was extremely chewy—nothing like what I was used to from this place. I even asked the staff if they had changed their chicken supplier, but they said no. I couldn’t even eat the combo. I left the chicken on the plate so it was clear something was wrong, and I didn’t touch the pita at all. When I brought this up, the staff did offer to bring me another pita, which I appreciated, but I had lost my appetite by that point. What really upset me was being charged the full amount anyway. Even though I didn’t eat the pita and clearly showed my dissatisfaction with the combo, the bill came including everything. Only after I spoke to the waitress again did they remove the pita from the bill. I still ended up paying for a meal I couldn’t eat, and honestly, I left feeling very disrespected. This experience was disappointing, especially coming from a place I used to enjoy so much. I hope they take this feedback seriously and reconsider how they handle situations like this with loyal customers.

Great Greek Chicken Gyro plate with delicious Marathon Salad and crispy fries. You cannot go wrong with a Large plate of Chicken Gyro. Good portion of chicken. I highly recommend!!!

Great food like always. Went here at least 15 times and it’s great every time. The food is tasty and well made, meat is juicy. The food is totally worth the price. The employees are patient and helpful and really nice. The only downside is the parking that is small and it takes time to find a parking spot (be careful because people may scratch your car) but overall great place.

Good service. And good quality !!!! EDIT : From 5 stars to 1 starts du to intoxication. I am writing to inform you that my husband became seriously ill with food poisoning after eating the meat in your souvlaki sandwich. He mentioned that it tasted unusual, but as he was very hungry, he consumed it anyway. This was the only thing he ate that I did not, so we are confident it was the cause. We suspect he may not be the only one affected, as other customers could have had similar experiences. I strongly urge you to investigate this matter and take greater care in ensuring the safety and quality of your food. Consumer health must be a top priority.Thank you for addressing this promptly

Consistently delicious and quality food. The menu has a decent variety of protein choices (mainly chicken, beef, lamb/pork, and calamari). Fast and friendly service, busy atmosphere. Recommend reservations for large groups, the place fills up fast.

Went on a dinner date to this location during the holidays and although the booths are somewhat cramped, decor is well done services excellent and food quality is top-notch authentic Greek. Chicken souvlaki, taramasalata and tzatziki are awesome. Was not impressed with their fries, store bought frozen crinkle cut… which is why they only got 4 stars. Otherwise, incredible experience. Tarama was so good it didn’t make it to the picture :-D

Marathon's in Laval is a staple the first of it's Kind. The original ! We love coming here as it helps go back down memory lane. The ambiance is indescribable... it's where I use to go for awesome greek food throughout my entire youth. Till this day, it is still the best place for awesome greek food in laval. The menu is classic! I love love love their tzatziki and marathon's house dressing. It never gets old. They make it all homemade and I love how they never changed their recipe The diner is always been that way for years .. they just expanded the dinner room a while back but the look is still retro and I love that about it. Food: amazing, delicious this one makes killer brochettes! The chicken brochettes are extremely tender and savoury. The gyro meat /pita is delish! They actually stuff that pita to the max and it tastes delicious and flavourful. Service: a little long but considering the amount of people they had to serve is very understandable. This is one of the only places that is amazing unique and worth coming over and over again. I love it here ! Definitely a must try if you love greek food and you're in laval! Cheers

If you place you order for pickup, you'll have to wait for doordash, uber, and other food delivery services get theirs first, before you get yours. They may pass 5 or 6 orders that came in after you, before you finally get yours AND they expect you to take it with a smile, they will not apologize for the delay or error, but will give you an unprofessional and condescending comment if you're not happy. Offer you a free meal when you call and ask to speak to a manager to makeup for it. People don't need free food, they need good service. Life happens to everyone, not just a sorry food industry worker.

Ordered the pork souvlaki plate with Tzatziki side. Also had a chicken and pork gyro half and half plate. Pork gyro so good we ordered another side plate ($7) of it. Definitely search out this place to have a satisfying meal.

Simply The Best. I live in NY and was raised in Montréal. I continuously search for a good Greek restaurant. Marathon is the best. Even better than the restaurants in Astoria, NY

Marathon is a classic childhood memory for me, which makes every meal there feel like home! Service at the Laval location is always top notch- waiters are incredibly friendly! The food is consistently delicious, I have been ordering the pork stick plate with greek salad and fries since I was a child, and it tastes the same every single time. Pro tip: dinner time can be especially busy and waitlists are common on Friday and Saturday nights- if you are okay with not having a typical sit-down meal, you can go to the take-out counter (on the right side of the restaurant) and order at the counter and eat in or bring it home!

Everything is amazing at this place! Location, value for money, service, cuisine and ambience are fantastic! One of my favorite places in Montreal.

Marathons makes a fine souvlaki but you gotta eat it fresh. I made the mistake of doing take-out once and it just wasn't as good as it is fresh. And you want the meat to be hot to contrast that cool tzaziki sauce. Marathons is definitely not a place I go to often but it's also not a place I can stay away from for too long before I get a craving. Just writing this makes me wish I had one right now.

Sunday I ordered only a plate of 2 pitas at the Express counter, but waited 30 minutes to get it !! There was no client but me and the cashier girl didn't even said anything while I was standing in front of the cash these 30 minutes. I am giving only 1 star for this.

One of my favorite places to eat for 20+ years now. Traditional Greek cuisine that hits the spot, especially when you need a boost. Pros : - Many different and delicious dishes to try out. My all time favorite is the chicken pita platter with their delicious marathon salad and fries. - The Tzatziki is fantastic. - I recommend any lamb dishes they have. - Service is extremely friendly and quick. - Take out counter next door is fantastic. Cons : - Pick your times well. Going there on a Saturday night at 6-7 PM can be exceedingly frustrating as they are usually full with an hour wait at times. Furthermore, the waiting area gets packed with people and the service has to wade through the crowd of hungry clients. I strongly recommend going there early or late, you won't regret it. - Sometimes service isn't up to par. Seating arrangements can be better. Why seat people in bunks when they are only 2 when people are waiting with group of 4 or more? - If you plan to come during prime time, parking is interesting to say the least.

I'm giving a 1 star rating because it should NOT take over 90 minutes to be served your meal when you order at a restaurant!!! 2 people ordering and having to wait and ask, and ask again... first and last time I'll set foot in this restaurant. Only reason I did not leave is because every 5 minutes I was telling myself, the food gotta be ready soon... was so hungry too...

You don't get a bad meal at this place! I had the chicken on a pita with salad and their round fries. Great service and great food!!

Been coming here for years! Great fresh food, excellent service. Who can resist that Marathon salad???? Not much has changed over the years even the parking is still bad lol but one you get in, it's so worth it!

The quality of food is good for a fast-food style Greek restaurant. Only the side salads need a little work as they are usually sloppily cut and the amount of any given ingredient will vary every time you order (ex: sometimes the salad will be 70% tomatoes, other times the cucumbers will take over, sometimes you get a huge amount of feta, sometimes just a crumble). I usually have it delivered and I will say they are one of the fastest when it comes to delivery!

I love this place! I've been going to marathon for a good 10 years, and the food very is consistent. It's a casual atmosphere, with pictures of Greece on the walls in the waiting area (more of a waiting hallway). The kitchen is right up front and open - as you walk in you see the orders being pumped out, and the gyro turning. I usually get the chicken pita plate: a thick pita filled with a generous amount of garlicky tzatziki, marinated chicken (so tender!), tomatoes and onions, a choice of marathon salad (with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, feta etc with a creamy dressing) or a greek salad (only tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, kalamata olives and feta with an olive oil dressing), and potatoes/rice. A side of extra marathon dressing or tzatziki to dip the potatoes in is a must.. yummm. There are also complimentary baskets of garlic bread - a touch more garlic butter would make me very happy. The service is also very good.

Marathon is probably my favourite Greek restaurant. I absolutely love their food and their chicken is one of my favourite things along with their round potato- fries. The food is fresh, and the service is usually very quick. I have only eaten at the restaurant once or twice as most of the time, we order food and bring it home and eat there.

Been ordering delivery from Marathons all my life. If they had a VIP badge, my family would have one. Love the food, quick delivery and great price. I order twice a week and only guilt stops me from ordering more. Highly recommended.

Marathon Rocks and I've been eating there for decades.The tzatziki is possibly the best in the city and kills my breath and stays with me for a good 20 hours every single time I eat it. I mean I'll shower the next day and in the shower I'll smell the garlic tzatziki coming out of my pores. Makes me smile every time it happens and is totally worth it. Garlic Rocks! I've been a vegetarian for a long time and their veggie souvlaki is seriously good and covered in that awesome tzatziki. My pals from back in the day that still eat the meat souvs, say it hasn't changed at all. I used to get the Doner plate back in the day and I can vouch for the smell - hasn't changed in 20 years. The potatoes are round and ridged and not that good, it's the only thing they should have ditched 20 years ago. Yeah I know that's blasphemy to some of you but history and sentimentality should never trump taste. Despite the fact that the potatoes suck, Marathon is about the great Souvlaki it serves and the unbelievable tzatziki sauce that bathes it with garlic-orgasmic goodness.

Here it is. The one and only. Where it all started. Marathon souvlaki. I've been eating here for 20 years now. And the biggest compliment that I can them is that the food has been exactly the same for 20 years, probably longer. There's never a surprise. You get what you expect every single time. Best souvlaki in the montreal area. Don't let the amateurs tell you differently. You can take your Marvins, Village Grec, and Arahova and stick em where the sun don't shine because that's where they belong.

2 Words! DONER PITA!!!! This is the only place I order this from. The salty, crispy, mixed meat with tzatziki and chewy pita. OMG, so good! Thank God I don't live close by, or I'd be there 4 times a week! Then there is the Marathon Salad, you have to order this with any meal you get. The dressing is perfect. Oh, and of course a side order of Tzatziki to go with the complimentary garlic bread and your fries. The service is always great and meals are fairly priced. Just go and try it! You won't regret it.

This is a great place to eat either on site or take out. We also order often at work and its comes really fast. Portion are good I wish they had tzatziki sauce in their meal especially for take out. Super fast service and they are very friendly so thats a plus. It is a bit pricey for the size meal you get so thats why they didnt get my 5 stars

Hyped. Chicken pita is chicken kebabs inside a pita. That just makes it not a pita wrap. Goat cheese is excellent with salad. Food not very inspiring. Cost effective not pricy.

I love it, had a great meal with my family, generous portions , tasty , very well presented and served. The flavours are authentic and well balanced . My kids enjoyed the calamari . I had a pita plate. Very tasty and the salad that came with was fresh and tasty. The server was very welcoming and pleasant. Prices are very reasonable and you get more than what you pay for. Had a greek beer , oh what a surprise , really good and refreshing .I will definitely come back and i highly recommend it.

Authentic Greek Food. Pretty much on the same calibre as what you can find on the Danforth in Toronto. Big portion sizes. Service is excellent. All the servers speak good english. We really enjoyed. Will be back the next time we visit Montreal

Awesome Greek place; the tzatziki is to die-for and the souvlakis absolutely fill you up.

Great taste, efficient service (we order often at work and at home from this restaurant, as well as pick up). Never been let down, always tasty and solid portions. Usually take either chicken pitas or doner pitas, fries and salad are tasty as well and the tzatziki is one of the best out there.

Usually I'm extremely satisfied with their plates, but the last couple of times I've went, not so much. I always get takeout. The food is good, don't get me wrong, but if I'm paying $20 for a plate I expect it to come with a decent amount of food. Barely any rice and a very small amount of gyro meat have left me disappointed time and time again. Their customer service, however, is great. If they upped their portion sizes a tad (or lowered their prices) and included tzatziki in their plates, they would get 5 stars. For now, I don't find it worth the price.

Still no tsaziki included with doner plate. Have to pay an extra where as every Greek restaurant in town includes it. Have been a regular here for 20 years. I recently had supper with a friend in December and was shocked at how small the doner plate had become. There was barely 4 Oz of meat. Portions have recently shrunk and prices have increased.

Delivery sucks!! ordered 1 1/2 hrs early to make sure it was on time as we were a small group. It arrived over 30 minutes late. Not the first time. very fustrating when you spend 1/2 your lunch time waiting for your food to arrive.

I love to dine in Marathon,waiters are friendly food is plenty for what you pay for around 10$ dollars and they keep on bringing garlic bread :)the place is bit small sometimes it gets noisy and crowded.nice place to dine with friends.

We ate the Spanakopita with Greek salad. The Spanakopita (2) were dark and my wife's Spanakopita were burned. The salad had a chunk of feta cheese, lots of tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce. Pita was also served. The waiter spoke both English and French and was helpful in answering our questions.Salad was great but not the Spanakopita.

I LOVE MARATHONS!! Everything is fantastic. It always tastes the same which equals HEAVENLY... that's all I can say.

Good half decent at best and service was beyond terrible when the waiter decides to argue with you over why you ordered your meal before the appetizer

Love this place! Marathon Souvlaki has been a fixture in the Chomedey, Laval community since the 70's. Their food is always fresh, expertly prepared authentic Greek cuisine. This afternoon we had the chicken souvlaki dinner with accompanying marathon salad and rice and fries. Service is expert and swift, this meal did not disappoint. I regularly return when in the area. Would recommend for take out or dine in. Best Greek food in Chomedey!

This place is awesome, I've been ordering there since I was a kid and can never get tired of it. I eat here twice a week! Tzaziki is awesome and their pitas are killer! Highly recommend!

Classic Souvlaki, as good as it gets. Cheap, Fast amd Delisious.

Havent been in years ,but an old buddy of mine went there last week and reminded me about how and when we used to go out of our way from the 70s and early 80s,and how my brother Angelo would come with me the odd time and just scoff when they first opened it in 1977 , we knew the owner Philippe and his first partners and we knew it would be just so the best, situated across from a Macdonalds in our old stomping grounds.Chomedey Laval ,wow man,. I brought Sherilyn to Marathons in 1981 and she loved me more when we left the restaurant. So that was the trick when she was pissed at me I would bring her Marathons,, and that lasted until Angelo and me and George opened Angelos Cuisine Greque. True story

This was the first meal we ate when we arrived in Laval and we loved it! The gyros are delicious. The tzatziki sauce is probably some of my favorite...and I've tried gyros in a lot of different places. My only complaint is that the meat was a little dry one of the three times that we ate here. However, the other two times, the meat was cooked perfectly! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. And I love their Greek salad and potatoes. A very filling meal for a reasonable price! The staff here is really nice, too. We wanted to get takeout the first night we ate here and we had five people. We had no idea that there are two doors to Marathon Souvlaki--one side is the sit-down restaurant and one side is the takeout place. We went in the wrong door the first time and the staff kindly and patiently redirected all of us to the takeout side, then recommended meals for all of us. Great service!

Fanfuckingtastic service AND food. Mingia bro, this shits awesome too. The place was packed out the ass, so I'm guessing its pretty popz.

The take out spot has quite another story from what I'm reading. This place is a rip-off. 1 souvlaki stick (great taste) slightly under cooked,small plate maybe 4oz. of their famous doner (lots of crunchy bits of meat in my order) entrée of calamari (total of 14 pieces) and two fries. No salads no tzatziki no nothing $44.00, robbery I should have gone for the platters much more food for probably a little more. The pricing make no sense. Maybe the person who took the order should have suggested better choices for the $$. Which shows good faith towards the client. The food was fine nothing special. The doner was dry. Leo Gets was right you get screwed at the drive thru, in this case the take out counter.

This is not a authentic Greek restaurant , nothing but nothing is tasty, they assume that they have great souvlaki , I say they have Shitty SHITSVLAKI :) the meat is hard, and never fresh it does not even taste like a pork it's just disgusting , SHITSVLAKI they serve is preecooked probably made 1 hr before and waiting to be served , I understand they are busy but that does not mean you have to serve your customers preecooked meat, Service sucks they are very slow . And you can never have a decent conversation with your wife or friends cuz everyone is screaming and yelling , not a pleasant restaurant , also the bread is tasteless , round cut So called french fries when they bring it to you table and when it's still warm it tastes and looks ok , after 5 min it feels like cardboard and tastes disgusting . Ooo b 4 I forget we had to wait 20 minute right in front of the washrooms and the dishwashing room ( doors are wide open ) but that's fine I understand they are busy , while you wait right before you eat you have to inhale that disgusting smell coming from the dishwashing room and fthe bad smell of the washrooms . Now Iam asking you is that normal ? Some of you might say we'll they are around for so many years blah blah blah but I say the food is tasteless I ordered saganaki they probably use the shittiest quality processed cheese it's soooo salty it's disgusting but there signature dish so called souvlaki ( SHITSVLAKI ) does not have any taste what's so ever. Iam never ever going back again , do they care ? I don't think so but I rather spend little more money and eat better quality food at authentic Greek restaurant.

It is probably the best Greek good in the area.. You won't go wrong ordering anything there. It is very clean. I really appreciate you can see the kitchen as you walk in. I like seeing how clean and fresh the food is before eating. It is a bit pricy but I think it is worth it.

My sister and I love this place! I always take the chicken gyro during lunch time and enjoyed every bite of it. I am happy with the food, the price and the quick service. The place is always clean and the staff are friendly people. Just love it and have nothing to complain about.

If you're looking for traditional greek food, then this isn't the place to go to. But the people who go here aren't looking for that and for what they offer, they do it all very well. The gyro pita is amazing, I've probably had hundreds of them.

Hi I had the souvlaki dish it's was ok and the The Sauce was ok but not the best . The rice was blend no taste , service was very good . the place looks great , but not the best souvlaki in town
