    Spicy Hummus
    Tony H.

    The food here was AMAZING! I had the Lamb kabob wrap and man... the pita bread was on another level, it was crisp and had char on it and gave it that char taste. Everything was good, the little one liked his kids chicken and I thought it tasted good too. There is plenty of parking at the rear of the location, there is plenty of parking, if is accessible at the front but there is no parking in the front. They do not have a soda station only sell canned soda and different other bottled options. It is a quiet place and pretty peaceful for now, I'm sure this place will be getting more business soon when everyone finds out about this place. 10/10!!

    Was pretty empty for a Monday lunch rush guy came out and took our order and we sat down. We waited 10-15 min for our food to come out and it was delicious. We got the shawarma combo and it came out with chicken and meat and it did not disappoint. Plenty of seating inside and plenty of parking out back. It is a big portion so we decided to share a meal. The food was very palatable definitely a place worth coming back to.

    Beef Kabob Plate
    Amy V.

    Okay people, here is the reality. My friend and I order one plate only, prices are too high for the amount of food. Food flavor is specifically from East and West Egypt which makes a big difference. To my taste food is good but not over the moon. The service is okay, friendly came to ask once how we were doing. Also I don't like that food is served in plastic containers. The ambience is good very clean and music appropriate for the restaurant, this is a family restaurant, not romantic. The reason why I am giving a three start is because, plastic containers are not to serve when dining in, desert price are also too high, I didn't want to spend on it but I might return to taste another occasion. They look good but too pricey.

    They opened 2 months ago. They are still figuring out their process but the food is incredible. I've been to tons of Mediterranean restaurants, have traveled to turkey and Greece and Arabellas food is up there with all the best. We will be coming back. We got fattoush salad, chicken and beef kabob plate and fries. All were well seasoned and very flavorful. Incredibly friendly service as well.

    Was there on Friday night. Met a really nice lady, her name is Shaima. She was super helpful recommending dishes and the dessert!!! Everything was really delicious and you get a lot of food for what you pay. The restaurant is not too big. It looks empty because most of the people that came in got their food to go. If you like a nice quiet place to eat at, this is it. Definitely will be going back!!!

    Place just opened 2 weeks ago. Everything is clean and there is parking on the street or in the back. Service was friendly and helpful. The food took a minute but it was made to order. It came out hot, fresh, and delicious. I had the fatoush salad and the chicken kabobs plate. The plate included a bit of hummus, pita bread, a side salad, rice, and tzatziki. The chicken was tender and moist. We've been to other Mediterranean places in the area and this place is one of the most flavorful. We will be back again.

    Grilled Garlic Chicken Plate
    Vanessa S.

    First time here and really enjoyed my food. The little salad with purple onion and the radish was super good. The grilled garlic chicken sauce was a nice dip for my fries. Got fries with house seasoning. The seats are comfortable and the interior is nice and bright. There's also very limited parking.

    Carmen S.

    So good. Came back for more. Great service and very clean. People there are so friendly.

    meat and onion stew
    Adan G.

    Decided to finally check out the restaurant now that Veracruz is gone :( The food was pretty tasty. My friend decided to get their gyro wrap to see how it was and he was happy. I decided to check out the items that are unique to the restaurant and was truly happy with their stew (who's name doesn't appear on the menus posted here yet, wish I had. taken a photo). The stew is really good and will happily order it again. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their different options. The only problem with the restaurant is that the service can be a bit slow while they work out their logistics in the kitchen, especially if there are a few other parties waiting for their food. I think they're still trying to figure out what kind of restaurant they want to be. They have nice plate ware, but plastic silverware sets like you get from fast food places, and they don't really have water unless you buy a bottle of water. The inside is rather sparse and all mainly table/chair seating since they seemed to have gone with the maximum capacity option. I'm looking forward to coming back to try more of their food!

    Salmon plate

    Took 45 mins for my food. When I received my salmon plate it was cold. The lady that takes your order was also eating while plating my food. Wont be back to this place

    Beef bowl
    Beverly M.

    Yesterday my coworkers & I ordered food from this spot expecting it to be very good as the reviews say. I ordered the lamb bowl and was expecting more than this. There's about 5 pieces of meat and the rest is rice. On the other picture is the beef bowl which looks much better. I was very disappointed, not worth it and would not return.

    Amazing food! It's so delicious and the best Mediterranean food I've had thus far. Service was great and food was freshly made. Clean place and a relaxing atmosphere. I will be telling my friends about Arabella in Downey! Falafels are to die for! Lamb is so soft and tender

The portion sizes are ginormous and you cannot leave hungry from here and sometimes will have leftovers even if you only order a single item. I wish they had a bigger seating area. Also the ice-cream (pre packaged, not store made) selection is weird but not wonderful. I guess those are an acquired taste. If they open a location in South OC, I will go at least once a week if not more.

    Fatima's grill was awesome…read more Don't be fooled this is a Lebanese / Mexican fusion, extremely unique. They have lots of options, treats and drinks throughout the store. My friends and I ordered the shawarma fries, Cali burrito, and the garlic shrimp fries. All of these were very good but I highly recommend the Cali burrito. Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.

The last 2-3 years has been hit or miss. I order the same thing everytime. And sometimes the sweet potato is cooked well and other times it's still hard and I have to cook it myself at home. I sent them a video of how uncooked it was last year and she offered a refund which I never saw back in my bank. I didn't go back for months after this because I was annoyed that the is was happening so much and I was so disappointed each time. Yesterday I messaged them to please cook the potatoes welldone and I must have pissed someone off because they left off the halloumi cheese - the best part of the salad and the part that's prob worth anything $. I'm so over it and feel so unappreciated as a customer that was coming multiple times a week.

My absolute favorite is the Greek chicken salad--I can't even explain how good it is, it's just that delicious every single time.

What really stands out to me is the customer service. We had such a kind and friendly server who took the time to talk with us, which made us feel so welcome. That's the kind of service that keeps you coming back. We ended up staying for almost three hours because that's how comfortable and relaxed we felt at The Marketplace. It truly feels like a place where you can enjoy great food and great company.

In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

    This was the first time I ate at this establishment. I brought my mother and we had evening…read morerations. This establishment is an all you can eat buffet. Well almost because at least for evening rations, one portion of lamb shanks is included in the price and additional portions of lamb shanks are available at 14.95$ each per person. In addition I saw a sign indicating a two hour time limit for eating. The price is based on the exit time so if someone enters when the lower midday price is in effect and leaves after the change to evening pricing, the higher evening price is charged. Also there is a ten percent senior discount available for those 60 and over. The food was good.. I had pita bread, fried chicken, fried tilapia, a slice of cheese pizza, some lamb gyro strips and a slice of beef lasagna. That food was good but not wonderful. I was not real happy that some of the food items at the buffet had onions as I am allergic to onions. I am deducting a half point due to the onions. For seconds I requested and got the portion of lamb shank. That was wonderful. Drinks were included and I had "wooder" and Orange Fanta. Drink station was self serve. I was disappointed that Pepsi was not available. I am deducting a half point due to lack of Pepsi available. Men's washroom was clean and had paper towels available... good. I have a bone to pick concerning the personal appearance of the guys working at this establishment. I am glad they wore t shirts but I noticed that the guyd all failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider that to be highly unprofessional and I think that they looked like slobs. This is something I am OCD about. I believe it ought to be compulsory for guys to tuck their shirts in under ordinary circumstances so I am deducting one point. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would be in there solid with a C.
