We got the Fetteh and there was maybe 2 cubes of eggplant on it. The Arnabeet was on a small round dish not even filled. The Mujadara was the biggest disappointment of all, at $26 as an entree it was absolutly the size of an appetizer and again with hardly any artichoke. They've fallen into the the trap of many restaurants in the post covid era. Either taste good and a rip off, or right sized in price and just average in execution. They are the former. I've lost hope.

Immediately, let us know what they had run out of. Ordered the hummus and falafel, fries, and chai for the table. All of which were delicious. The falafel was crispy, and fries well seasoned. Everyone liked the food they ordered. All the entrees came out in stone pots, with big enough portions that we could have also gotten a couple entrees for everyone to share instead.

While they are usually lightly staffed when we come, the staff is always on point, friendly, and willing to help with selections. My go to has been their platters. You get plenty of protein, a heavy salad, and some amazing rice. I mean, I do not usually get to into rice, but their is great. One of the staff recommended this non-alcoholic beers they had it various flavors which I'm sort of hooked on. I can't remember the brand but I usually go Apple or Strawberry. Their Chai is also very good if you are in a tea mood. Overall, a clear recommend in my book. Enjoy!

He wanted to try Afghani food, so I turned to Yelp for a nearby location, which brought us here. Props once again! We absolutely loved the rich decor, and even got to dine in the raised carpeted private and pillowed area. It was a lot of fun, and good thing I sit with my legs crisse crossed quite often because that's how we enjoyed our meal. So much fun! The Samosas were really good and not greasy at all (no Tamarind, boo), like other versions I've tried. Our meals were excellent, I just wasn't so sure about the bread, but no biggie. I liked the rice with our beef, chicken, and lamb, but it was a bit bland or something. All of the meats were amazingly tender and seasoned! My minor dings were that the server barely cracked a smile and I didn't like their version of Chutney (it was on our table in a bottle with a white sauce, which was very light and tasty).

It was a busy and cold Saturday night, but after greeting the owner (manager?) in Turkish, they were able to squeeze us in. We had a delicious shepherd's salad and some lahmacun. That was more than enough for both of us and both were excellent. Service was great, prices were fair and we got our fix of a taste of Turkiye and we were on our way. Definitely recommend.

Bread got a little dry after a while so eat it up quickly! Lamb Beyti $27 (ground fresh baby lamb, grilled on skewer and served wrapped in lavash and topped with tomato sauce and greek yogurt) - the warm lamb with cold yogurt made a nice combo. The lamb was on the hard side which I didn't mind. The yogurt goes well with the bread from the babaganoush as well. Would come back for this and to try other things.

Marrakesh is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Philadelphia!!…read more I wish it existed in more cities. This is a multicourse journey through Marrakesh that cannot be repeated anywhere else except for maybe in the real Marrakesh. From the Bastilla pastry, which is DIVINE, to the salads, the chicken and kebabs... all the way to the baklava and tea.... there is no bad bite at Marrakesh. The owners are welcoming and super amenable and make you feel like you're coming home every single time you visit. It's in a odd location, and you may feel like you are making a questionable life decision as you walk up the alley to the door, but when you arrive, you realize that in fact, it was one of the best decisions you've made in years!! When you enter, it's like you've been transported to a beautiful room in Morocco. The music, the decor, even the authentic seating make for an unforgettable experience. And if you get really lucky, you also get to see the belly dancers who are top notch! There is not a single thing I can think of to say that Marrakesh needs to improve. It is a one of a kind experience that I feel everyone should have at least once in life!

I'm so glad my friends wanted to come here to celebrate our Friendsgiving. The food was as good as I remembered , the service as ever warm and welcoming. Since I hadn't been for so long, I ate everything as was prepared - but I'm happy to hear it sounds like they have veg options on their tasting menu. I'm looking forward to trying that my next return. But I couldn't say no to their chicken after almost a decade I highly recommend checking out this business for a delicious family style cooked meal.
