    Pistachio Baklava and Turkish Coffee
    Annie L.

    This place is a gem! We have been wanting to try it, and we finally made it here today. Everything we ordered was great and home made. We got the grape leaves and kibbeh for our appetizers--both so delicious! We also got the steak & chicken kabob plate, which came with a generous portion of hummus and salad, plus pita bread. And for dessert we had the Turkish coffee and pistachio baklava . Food is beautifully flavored, the chicken kabob was my favorite. Was only able to take pics of the baklava We are already thinking of when to come back to try other food on the menu!

    The food was excellent. Everything was fresh. Very tasty. The plates were full for the price point. It was a lot. I'm telling you this is a must try.! It's a small hole in the wall place. You can just dress casually. They have a few tables. It looks like it's family run.

    The food and service was fantastic! We had the chicken wrap and chicken shawarma plate. And with garlic and hot sauce. They added a pack of ketchup to go with the fries. Fries were fresh. Highly recommend adding a slice of baklava, one of the best I've had! Don't miss out on this spot if you're in the area. Thanks for a great lunch!

    Craving Middle Eastern Food especially Lebanese- then this is your place. Recently reopened to a new location. The service is impeccable- owner, chef, and server were attentive. Very helpful on explaining the food and made sure that the food we order is to our liking. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share- hummus, zataar flatbread, fries, and kibbeh. They had different sauces in the table and also gave us tzatziki. They give you plenty of bread- made in house. The chicken and beef shawarma were delicious- flavorful and not dry, comes with rice and salad. The lentil soup is so good. Beef kofta plate is delicious. Make sure to have the mint lemonade - so good. Make room for dessert- we did have to wait for the kunafeh which is made fresh. Totally worth the wait. Make sure to ask for extra syrup/sauce. Perfect with Turkish coffee. Definitely coming back and trying other item in the menu. Great to support local business.

    K and I visited for a weekend lunch. We entered and were greeted right away. I had an unsweetened iced tea and we shared a babaganoush, lentil soup and a chicken and beef skewer combo plate. Iced tea was great and free refills. Homemade pita and babaganoush was yummy. Lentil soup was a huge serving; not as thick as I'm used to but we enjoyed it. The skewer combo plate came with good portions of rice, salad and hummus. Steak skewer was really tender and we enjoyed both skewers. I thought we'd have some leftovers with the amount of food we got but we finished everything. Friendly service and laid back atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

    Beef Kofta Plate
    Kyo V.

    Great food and service! Saw several reviews and wanted to try this spot. Having been to the Middle East we were curious on how authentic it would be. We were not disappointed with our orders and found several of the items as good as what we had overseas, and some even better. The freshly baked pita and hummus were outstanding. Parking was easy on the weekend and staff were great.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    WOW!!!! This place is SOOOO good. I cannot stress this enough. It's tastes homemade and reminded me of my grandmothers cooking. The team was super friendly, welcoming , and attentive. Also all the meat is halal and very good quality. we got two chicken plates and one beef kofta plate. We all couldn't believe how good the food was. My niece go the chicken fingers and fries and I couldn't stop stealing her fries. The food was well seasoned and we will be back!

    Beef Shawarma Plate. EXCELLENT!
    Joe L.

    I tried Amena Cafe last night while on a business trip in Vegas and loved it. The owner is a super friendly guy and was very welcoming. The food was amazing. I ordered the beef shawarma plate which came with the super flavorful and perfect texture shawarma, rice, a nice lemony flavored salad, some great hummus and a pita. Their pita was so soft and pillowy. Perfect texture. Their house made tahini is great drizzled on top of the food. I highly recommend checking out Amena for great Middle Eastern food.

    Beef Kabob Plate

    It's so goood! So fresh everything is yummy! I am so sad I am not local and won't be able to come here everyday to eat this yummy plate of food! I got the Beef Kabob Plate! Let me tell you, I went here for lunch, it was so good, we decided to get it again for dinner! The freshness of the beef, so juicy, so tender and soft to chew! The salad was so good and dressing, even the hummus with pita, I ate everything !

The six-course meal was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and delicious. I especially loved that parts of the dining experience were interactive, it made the evening feel even more special and immersive. The ambiance was perfection. The warm red glow, gorgeous decor, and thoughtfully dim lighting created an elegant, intimate atmosphere without making it difficult to see. Every detail made it feel like I had been transported somewhere truly special. The live entertainment was the perfect finishing touch. The belly dancers were incredibly talented and added so much energy and authenticity to the evening. Combined with the music, it created an experience that was about so much more than just dinner. One of my favorite moments happened as soon as I was seated, when my hands were ceremonially washed. It was such a unique and welcoming touch that set the tone for the rest of the night. Our server was outstanding. Once he learned it was my first time visiting, he made sure I felt welcomed and took great care of us throughout the entire evening. The service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, everything was flawless. Marrakech isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. If I could give it more than five stars, I absolutely would. I can't wait to return!

    What to say about this place!!? It was more than a…read morerestaurant, it was a whole experience! From the moment we walked in and were greeted, with a Happy Birthday, to being seated in a secluded corner next to a little water feature that added extra ambiance! Our server immediately came over and greeted us with a bowl and warm flowery water to rinse our hands. He explained how the courses worked, and asked if we'd like cocktails- we had the white wine seasonal sangria and it was delicious! Fresh and fruity! The dancers came out before our first course and the music was really loud- like thumping my seat loud... probably the only thing I would have like done differently. The first course came out and it was shrimp scampi with homemade bread - the shrimp was enough to serve at least 3 people- and it was tasty with lots of flavor! The next course was a lentil soup , served in a bowl with no utensils, and we were told to drink out of the bowl. This was also very flavorful! It was filling so I only took a couple sips of mine to leave room for the food to come! The next course they brought out was a tower of Hummus Baba Ghannouj Moroccan style olives, cucumbers & carrots, along with crispy pita Next was the Beef Kabob served on a skewer stabbed in a pineapple with dry ice for a spectacular presentation. The meat was so tender you could cut it with the fork! It was so much food it could have fed our family of 4, but it was just me and my husband! The last savory food item was the Moroccan Couscous & Chicken Platter- this chicken was so tender it fell off the bone when I picked it up with my fork- it was deliciously flavorful with middle eastern spices!! And the couscous were cooked perfectly! Lastly, they brought out a desert along with tambourines and drums and bright lights and sang a happy birthday song to me! The cake was not my favorite- but it was cute with a design on top It was a Moroccan pastry stuffed with bananas, nuts & chocolate topped with powdered sugar & cinnamon. They served it along with a sweet hot delicious mint tea! The dancers came out about every 20-30 minutes and they were beautiful and interactive with the crowd, asking diners if they'd like to get up and belly dance with them.... It was very fun to watch! We had a wonderful time, we would definitely go back! Next time on an empty stomach, and with the ability to take our leftovers home!! Highly recommend!!!

I ordered the Traditional Gyro Platter and was surprised to see how large the serving size was! I wasn't able to finish the whole thing, but boxed it up and it hit even harder when I heated it up later as a late-night snack. I usually feel there's too much rice in comparison to the meat ratio when I get plates like these, but I didn't have the same thought at Meraki. Either their ratios were better, or the rice was so good I just didn't notice. Overall, a great spot for some delicious Greek food. Will definitely add this to my list of go-to spots in Vegas!

I've had Greek food that was more flavorful. Greek food tends to be a bit pricier than others so I have a higher standard. I can brag on a few things. The restaurant was very clean and cute. I loved that they had TVs and we could watch the World Cup game that was on. You order your food up front, pay, grab your drink, and then sit down with your number. They bring the food out to your table. I love the CocaCola freestyle machines. Unfortunately this one didn't have any diet or zero options other than Aha sparkling water. That was a bit disappointing. They do have canned Diet Coke along with some interesting Greek drinks in a refrigerator. I ordered the gyro plate and my son got the falafel gyro. We both got the feta fries. These are really delicious. There was so much feta and herbs on the crispy, coated fries. My portion was great on my gyro plate. The salad was pretty but the Greek dressing was very mild and lacking in flavor for me. The same with my gyro meat. It was just okay. When you mix beef and lamb, it creates this delicious flavor and I just didn't get that here. The tzatziki was very bland to me. It was almost just straight yogurt. My son's falafel pita was very good. It was soft in the inside with the slight crisp on the outside. It was a large size pita and filled up my teenage boy. The desserts sounded delicious and the baklava in the case next to the registers were phenomenal looking. We didn't make it that far to get to have dessert. Since my son loved it so much, we will be back. I will try a different plate next time and hopefully be able to get dessert also.

    Great Greek Hamburger, But Spanakopita? Opa, No!…read more Review: So The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill popped up practically in my backyard--right there next to Whole Foods on Sahara and Town Center. How could I not try it? Now, I'll be honest: my favorite Greek spot is Meráki, and when we go there, we're known for ordering--wait for it--a hamburger. Yes, a Greek hamburger! Meráki's is amazing, and turns out, The Great Greek's burger is also a flavor bomb. Whatever Greek seasoning magic they sprinkle on that meat patty gives it a char-grilled punch that hits the spot. We rounded out our takeout with a Greek salad--nothing groundbreaking, but fresh, crisp, and just what you'd expect. The Greek rice? Meh, a bit underwhelming--fine, but won't be stealing the show at any Greek wedding. Now, the spanakopita... oof. Imagine one giant puff pastry with not much spinach or feta flavor--it was a one-and-done situation. Service-wise, it's a fast-casual setup: order at the counter, grab a seat if you like, but it's not aiming for ambiance. Think more quick bite than Mediterranean getaway. Overall, would I return? Probably not when Meráki is just 10 minutes down the road. But if I'm craving that Greek burger and I'm in a pinch, well... I know where to go!

We also ordered a 'up charge' item of baba gahnoosh, that comes with hot pita bread, that is so worth it. We also added a green and a red hot sauce, too, both were to die for. Yum! We had food for days! Leftovers heated well the next day. We had an accidental double charge but was handled right away. Will add to my must stop for us when in Vegas.
