They only accept cash payments
I was here 10 years ago and still thinking how good this place was......im going back as soon as im in montrael......keep it up....
Nice, tasty and excellent service
Huge portions. Nice vibes. I wish there was more vegetables in the gyros.
Pros: Very delicious fried calamari (one of the best!). The food is tasty and the portions are generous—I often see people asking for boxes to take their leftovers. Great prices! Cons: Cash only, but there’s an ATM downstairs if I remember correctly. There was a long lineup every time we went. Sometimes it smells a bit, and when it’s your turn to eat, the people waiting in line tend to watch you eat, which can be a bit unpleasant. They might even stare and drool while you’re eating, so you end up enjoying your food even more right in front of a very hungry audience.
Like many Montrealers, I've been many time to this landmark numerous times before. I ordered the calamari appetizer. Normally top notch, this time around, it was just ok. Mainly because the frying oil needed replacement and as a result, it tasted burnt. The gyros plate was excellent. Like the calamari, the fries tasted off. It was soft outside and mushy inside. I will return but less often just to try other Greek restaurants in the area.
Be aware there will be a line up Cash only Delicious greek food
Portions are MORE THAN GENEROUS. I would recommend to take one dish for two people. 🔥 Calamari: 8/10 Lamb skewers: 9/10 Steak and mushrooms: 9/10
Lots of hype ...lots of positive reviews from others...but today I guess was a bad day at this establishment...my gyro pita(meat)was dry burnt tomatoes were cut in cubes no juice ..the head of the tomatoe ...the part you throw in the trash ..and they serve that .very poor tight cheap . disrespectful.humbs down .. luckly the waiter somewhat save the outing
Been coming to Marvens for many years, it's nice to see the familiar faces of the staff. They have excellent service, very clean place and giant portions. We've been visiting regularly for those delicious calamari, and lambchops, I think it's become our go to for delicious food. The prices are great, and you really have a fantastic atmosphere in there. The service is unmatched. They are always friendly, quick, and attentive. I've never had issues at marvens, feels like going home for a great a meal.
My absolute favorite, when it comes to Greek food. Have been enjoying their meals for over 40 years. Consistent, high quality food, generous portions, priced right. Pleasant staff.
Taste, quantity & quality all good! The best Calamari in Montreal!
Calamari is a must!
An absolute Classic for Greek food in Montreal

Never disappoint...always excellent 👌...thank you
My family and I have been eating at Marven's for about seven to eight years now. Everytime we come to the restaurant I always get nostalgic about all the good times we have had there since I was a young boy. Marven's has always been a place where my family and I can come to enjoy amazing food and share laughs. The service is amazing, as soon as you walk through the doors you instantly get greeted by their amazing servers, not as another paying customer but as a guest in their "home". Server's are always quick on their feet, the food always comes out in perfect intervals so as you finish eating their bread and tzatziki sauce, the salads and appetizers come out and after the main course. (They have it down to a tee). The food is phenomenal, from their delicious greek salad, to their crispy fried calamari, the juicy tender lamb chops, their pitas, chicken skewers and especially their amazingly juicy rib eye steak. I don't usually leave reviews for restaurants but marven's has always been there for my family and I so I had to help them grow and attract more guests in hopes that those guests can build a relationship and memories with this restaurant such as I have.
Classic, Original Greek taste, welcoming environment, clean and a cozy place for families, friends or even alone. Oh large portions and reasonable prices
An authentic experience. Really enjoyed it. It's not about the decor, or comfort, it's about the food and atmosphere
Food was amazing. Busy eating …, Every dishes absolutely delicious….
Went there with my family. Fantastic food and AMAZING service! Can't wait to go back!😍
Food was good and portions are very generous. However, they don’t take reservations and you have to wait in line. While waiting, there’s an unpleasant urine smell coming from the men urinals downstairs. Parking is also difficult, especially on snow removal days. They take cash only. For those reasons, it wouldn’t be my usual go-to Greek restaurant.
This place is a classic for fried calamari! Everything is good !
Food is excellent, the steak is the best. All Portions are generous. Only downside is that its always packed and you have to wait for a table and in the winter its very cold. You also feel tu have to rush your meal because people are waiting; it’s like a cafeteria but very cozy at the same time and worth it for the delicious food. I would say they should have a pager service that rings when the table is ready for people to wait in their cars or to have a reservation system.
