Marhaba

Marhaba is one of those truly unique ethnic restaurants. The food is very good, presented well, and the service is friendly, efficient and professional. They offer a variety of tasty middle eastern foods, there seems to be something for everyone, and every diet plan. BYOB, and plan for parking away from the restaurant, as the parking is tight spaced, and limited.

We ordered the hummus and muhamara starters. Both dips were phenomenal! The hummus had a nice hint of garlic and the muhamara was fresh and paired well with the hummus. They had hands down the best pita bread I've ever had. The gyro pita was nice, and the meat platter was just okay. The dips were the star for me. Service was nice and quick and the restaurant had a nice ambience to it.

Delicious. We received this reccomendation atop of goat hill overlook and we would absolutely come again anytime we are in the area!! My boyfriend and i shared the chicken sharwarma, spicy egyptian sausage pitza, and falafel. We then followed up with 2 turkish coffees. We brought our 8 month old son and he actually even tried their lentil soup and could not get enough!! There is a nice playground across the street for the little ones as well. Restaurant is cash only, but do not let that discourage you from giving them a shot. Atm is located about 1 block away with standard fee.

Unfortunate update to original review due to some shady business practices: During recent visit, went to pick up the food and two of the three items were ready when I got there but I heard an audible s*** from the kitchen that they had forgotten one item. Waited the 10-15 minutes for this item (in an empty restaurant) and no one even acknowledged what had happened, no apologies, no thanks for waiting, nothing. In the meantime, two first responders came in to pick up their order, totaling $51. They handed 3 $20 bills and were told they the staff didn't have cash on hand for the change, so they had to forfeit the $9 due back and just... accept this. Now, we always tip upwards of 20%, usually 25%, even on pickup orders. But it's not up to me, or the business to deem how much tip they receive from others on an order. And this happened at 5pm so I highly doubt there wasn't change in the restaurant somewhere. They showed that the register was empty but it's Sunday so any cash they got that day definitely wasn't at the bank yet. Nail in the coffin: no apologies for the inconvenience, no offering to write a gift card in the amount due as change, no offering a small plate for free, nothing. And this was for our first responders, can't imagine how they treat others. Highly doubt we'll be back after seeing this nonchalant BS. Original Post: Delicious and high quality food at a good price. The shawarma platter is usually 3 meals for me. The cucumber and tomato salad that comes as a side with dinner is incredible and the garlic pita bread is fantastic and aromatic.
