Hype is real. Came in on a whim to place an order to go. The famous calamari is legitimately the best I’ve ever had. Literally writing this from my parking spot while stuffing my face on calamari and some insane house sauce, like crack. They said to eat hot and they weren’t wrong. Can’t wait to come back for a seated meal.

Best Greek food ever
The best dishes is the calamari and shrimp .
Love the lamb chops! It’s juicy! ✨
Clearly the reputation speaks for itself. Excellent quality on the chicken brochettes (which are thick compared to other places), the calamari and obviously the marvens sauce. theres a reason why places like this stick around, the food and quality is top notch
Not the quality of Greek food that I was expecting. Review should be revised. Overrated.
Never disappointed. Great resto
I mean the line can be crazy sometimes and the space is always not enough but that's how you know the food is great. Well priced (hope that won't change), fast and good service. Guys serving you are great and happy at what they do. I always leave this place stuffed. Never fails! One of the best in Montreal and I hope they would expand the place a little and create a bigger bar so people can drink while they wait for their table.
This restaurant is OG. It’s always good. It never disappoints. The staff is great. Only thing to keep in mind is they only accept cash!
Maybe one of the best lamb chop in the world. The beer is light but tzatziki is very fresh and goes perfect with octopus and fries. We two people spent $90 with lamb combo, octopus and beers. Cant finish half. Take away the rest. Will definitely comes back again. A uncle waiter is very welcoming and friendly. Just it is too popular to enter without waiting in a long line.
Best food generous portions. The calamari is delicious.
I found this place on social media and made the trip from Ottawa—wow, 10/10. The food and service were both incredible. The staff are so welcoming and polite! The calamari and the Caesar salad were standout starters (I seriously need the recipe for that dressing!), and the steak was cooked to perfection. The portions are perfect, too. It gets very busy, but it is absolutely worth the wait. Compliments to the chef—I’ll definitely be back!
Five stars!
Great Service Excellent Food !!! Love it !!! Great Greek authentique Food !
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.
