    Rice and a bone
    J H.

    I went here today to get supa kanja. While I was there 2 gentleman invited to over to share what they were eating. They had rice with some type of lamb. The piece of lamb they had was meaty and good looking. They offered to buy me the same plate they had so I can have my own. The cook brought mine out and he gave me rice with a bone with hardly any meat on it. When I tried to bring it to his attention he acted as if he didn't understand. I will not be back here for that reason!

    This is a little gem of a restaurant! Was a little skeptical as we walked in for dinner on a Friday night and the place wasn't booming. Looks like a family business, the man who greeted and sat us also took our order and prepared our meals. I chose the Lamb stew dish and my boyfriend the Curry Goat. We were both amazed at the savory flavors. Both of the dishes were delicious with tender meat and plenty of spices. The goat dish is a little spicy, and served with a savory rice. We also ordered their home-made sorrel juice, which was also amazing. The service was very good and quick, place was neat and clean with a quiet atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back and placed this on our favorites list! Highly recommend!

    When I find a place that authentically represents their homeland, it elicits a level of respect. It's an honor to share your culture. My tastebuds were taken on a journey of savory indulgence. Thank you for sharing.

    Dirty a$$ cups

    I had a hankering for African food, so we drove 35 minutes to one that was opened on Sunday. I called prior to going because I knew I wanted egusi with jollaf rice and my friend wanted fufu with chicken. There were soooo many red flags that warned me to RUNNN! When we arrived at the restaurant no one was present and by the time the lady came out I stated that I called previously and she said your food is ready?!?? Mind you I didn't place an order; only inquired if they served the dishes I wanted. We placed our orders and we waited... and waited... and waited.... As we were engulfed in our conversation we lost track of time but did ask for a cup to taste the juice that was recommended Sorrel & pineapple ginger; which were good. Had to ask for cups again & she grabbed two red cups from under the counter and said they were dirty?!?! So we're keeping dirty cups under the counter? So after some time past we hear her tell someone through the kitchen window to wash/sanitize the cups and we were eventually given two wet cups that were sticky and had stains on them! Fast forward to our food finally arriving... nothing was good! The Egusi was fishy and had a lot of meat that I didn't ask for, and on top of that it was $20! I asked for jollaf rice and immediately realized that the rice looked funny. When the lady asked me why I didn't eat much of my food I explained it was not what I expected and the rice was hard. This is when she decided to give a lesson in different parts of Africa the way the food is prepared varies. She then told me I had cous cous and not the rice I requested. It was my birthday weekend so my friend was treating me to lunch & that's when we were told our meal was $74?!?! Mind you we left 85% of the food on the table and refused to go containers because why? I will say the two guys said their meal was awesome, and I asked another customer about her order & she stated that they had excellent peanut soup. I'm glad they enjoyed their food and it was an expensive lesson to learn. I will not return.

    Cassava stew and rice

    Great Senegalese restaurant. At first restaurant looks plain but the food makes up for the ambiance. Most people prefer to take out or delivery service. Food was delicious and customer service was friendly. Come hungry, portions are large. Also come earlier in the day. This is a family restaurant. They make a certain amount for each dish and by the evening, some of the items on the menu have been sold out. I highly recommend.

    Kine, Thanks for dinner. Another great meal and we will see you soon.

    Large oxtail plate...amazing flavor and perfect texture
    DollBaby Y.

    I ordered the fish yassa, ginger juice, and an oxtail plate to go. I also had a very delicious appetizer that I can't remember the name of, but it was basically like some kind of spring roll with beef and shrimp. Everything was absolutely amazing. The flavors were so fresh and authentic. The ginger juice is definitely a must try if you're a ginger fan like me. They're not stingy at all on the ginger, so much I was able to dilute it when I got home to make a whole other drink. The staff was very polite and helpful, even though I arrived a few minutes before closing and had no idea what I wanted. They didn't rush me, and even welcomed me to sit down as they helped guide me through the menu with great detail. I can't wait to go back.

    I was told to cancel the order bc chum wasn't going to make the order.

    I've order food here in the past and built an awesome relationship with the owner and her son Mohammed. It really hurts that I have to write such poor review when I fallen in love with the owner her son Mohammed and their food. But I wanted to share this experience with you to give you the fair chance in knowing that this could happen to you as well. However today I called to place an order via phone and request delivery through the business. A gentleman by the name of Cham answered the phone and stated that they do not do delivery and then I would have to go online and place the order through GrubHub. And then did just that went online and place the order through GrubHub. After some time I called to confirm that the order was placed and will be delivered. The gentleman by the name of Cheung answered the phone and stated that the prices that were showing on GrubHub were incorrect they were no longer 1599 but instead they were $22. He then requested that I call GrubHub and canceled the order and stated that he would not be making the order that I need it to go to DoorDash and place the order again I advised him that I was back on the website and the only other option to place the order was through GrubHub and that there was no option to place the order through DoorDash. He then started laughing and said that he was not placing the order. I didn't confirmed so you're not going to make the order for me he stated no. This is very disappointing considering the fact that I have recommended this place to so many of my friends and I've enjoyed going through the menu to try different cuisines my daughter and I have found a love for African cuisines and throughout the month we've been trying different dishes sometimes ordering more than one dish at a time each time I've ordered those specific African cuisines they've been about the same price $15. So for this to be the case is very saddening although that gentleman was not there when I placed the order the first couple of times and he did mention that the owner wasn't there today it makes me feel like I never wanna go back and also I want to advise everyone of this experience. This is an OK and it's not fair. It's not the customers fault that you did not change the prices reflecting on GrubHub or any other delivery sites. Then to say that he's not going to make the order when my $30 won't be refunded I'm not really understanding was happening. So order from them or don't but I wanted to share this experience with everyone so that you have a fair chance and know that this may or may not happen to you.

    Thieb Djen... Beautifully presented... God sooooo yummyyyy
    Emilie L.

    Kiné is just a sweet owner and loves what she does. She handles business and the food is hands down the best in the area and very much affordable. I go once in a while and when I go it never disappoints. My go to order is the Thieb djen... I've tried the dibi from a sister of mine and that too was good. I will always recommend this place to all my African peeps. Thank you for letting us have a little taste of Senegal. Bisous!!

    Do! So far, this is…read morethe best new resto I've found around Atlanta in 2026. Marrakech Express is located in the shops at Belmont at the corner of Atlanta Rd and Windy Hill Rd. Apparently, Alma opened this second location more than a year ago...it's not easy to see this resto from Atlanta Rd., but easy to find once you turn into this (Belmont) small corner of shops and restaurants. This review is based on my late weekday lunch. +. Ambiance is bright, clean and casual. ME feels spacious as there is plenty of natural light from its corner location full of windows. There is a patio as well, but it's a hot and humid August summer day in Atlanta. It would be a pleasant option come Fall or Spring. This part of Atlanta Rd near downtown Smyrna seems to be becoming trendier with more restaurants and Still Fire brewery. +++. Food is Moroccan casual. It's a limited menu but executed very well! I tried their Shawarma Chicken plate that came with saffron rice, hummus and pita. Their chicken shawarma was exquisitely seasoned and balanced. It's spicy but not hot and differs from the middle-eastern shawarmas. Their "warm" pita is fluffy soft and perfect to pick up chicken and hummus. My order also came with a small salad. Alma's harissa is the "BEST" I've had. It's got a little kick and pretty amazing. I'll definitely be returning to explore the menu +++ Price is reasonable especially given their quality! Approximately $10-20pp. ++ Service was prompt, friendly and super nice! I'm not a fan of Moroccan cuisine from visiting the country a while ago, but ME's food is deLicious! Sensing my hesitancy, they even offered me a sample of the shawarma before I ordered! ++ Parking is a shared lot, ample and free. Over all, an IMPRESSIVE little restaurant! Marrakesh Express adds much to the Cobb restaurant scene. Apparently, they were originally at Global Grub Collective. After GGC closed, they opened a place near GT and about a year and half ago, ME opened their second location in Smyrna! WeLcoMe!! MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark + Good ++ Better +++ EDIBLE...WHERE have you been all my LiFe!

    My new favorite Smyrna spot!…read more The interior is nicely decorated and clean. Always greeted with a smile and a welcome. The food has spot on flavors and reminds me of my trip to Marrakech! Love their mint tea, always hot and delicious. Their eggplant was so full of deliciousness as was their super tender lamb!

    I usually hesitate to leave 5 stars but they deserve it…read more The food was exemplary, the service was great and the environment/ atmosphere was beautiful. I came in before they closed but they still took wonderful care of me. They claim the chicken is hand slaughtered but I am not sure 100% as I haven't verified their vendor yet. Overall I will be coming regularly. The bathroom is also well maintained and was clean.

    We came here for a random Friday dinner…read more We had the branzino. I thought the fish was a minute too cooked. It came with the rice with potatoes and spices. The spices in the rice were overpowering and my partner didn't enjoy it as much. The potatoes were extra crunchy and a bit burnt... unsure if it was overdone or on purpose. It smelled like was it cooked in coconut oil. I would say 7 out of 10 overall. The lamb neck was recommended by the waiter. It was really good, slow cooked and the meat was tender. The sauce was unremarkable. The waiter gave us a house made spicy sauce and made this dish significantly better. I would say 9/10 overall. The hummus with the pickled mushroom was amazing. It was topped off with truffle oil and I just couldn't keep my hands off of it. I would say 10/10. I just want to point out the bill had a notice that says "tips are based on check prices after taxes" was confusing and unsure why would company charge tips on top of taxes. Our waiter was amazing so we didn't mind paying the extra but it really made us wonder about the company policy.
