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 read more

I try it with a friend for the first time, because normally it's always for the take out, but this time we go for the restaurant and was amazing too! I go for Chicken souvlaki pita plates and it was delicious like always with a pretty sweet waitresses with professional staff and good service. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Restaurant Marathon Souvlaki - Pork Souvlaki plate with fries + Half&Half pork gyro and chicken shawarma with rice plate w/ tzatziki side. - Mediterranean Near Me - Laval, Quebec

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Restaurant Marathon Souvlaki - Chicken pita platter with marathon salad and fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Laval, Quebec

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. read more

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... read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Restaurant Marathon Souvlaki - I had the chicken Slouvaki a salad and their round fries! This place makes good authentic Greek food! - Mediterranean Near Me - Laval, Quebec

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Restaurant Marathon Souvlaki - Souvlaki - Mediterranean Near Me - Laval, Quebec

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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

So much love for Marathon! Fast delivery, delicious and a great price.

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more
