I prefer this location over others. I've never had a bad meal here and it gives family owned vibes. Service is straightforward and our waiter was kind. Food always comes out quickly and is hot. I return whenever I'm in town. read more

La Marsa West Bloomfield - Lemon Oregano Deboned Chicken w/ Rice & Grilled Vegetables - Mediterranean Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

We went here on Xmas for dinner when our original dinner plan was foiled. This was some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had- and I've had a lot, and been to the Middle East!! We ordered the sampler platter, which is definitely enough for four people. The baba ganoosh (sp?) and meat grape leaves were the best I've ever had; and the dark meat chicken and meat shawarma were also outstanding!! The servers were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back. read more

When I'm in the mood for Mediterranean food, La Marsa--specifically the Orchard Lake location--is my go-to spot. I've tried both dining in and takeout, and each experience has been consistently pleasant. The restaurant never seems overly busy, but that might just be because I've visited during quieter times. My usual order includes their salmon, but my absolute favorite is the chicken shawarma. I typically pair it with the rice pilaf and garden salad, and the freshly baked bread that comes with the meal is a great touch. Everything is always flavorful and well-prepared, which keeps me coming back. I'll definitely be visiting again soon! read more

Unfortunately I have to change my review for this location. A friend and I came here yesterday for dinner before going to a show at the Fisher Theater downtown. I usually get their chicken kabob sandwich (tawook). We sat down and nobody came over to take our orders for a long time. My friend and I both got that sandwich and she also got a side of rice. We asked for some water as well, and I asked for the complimentary bread and garlic. The sandwiches arrived before everything, then the bread and garlic (which I prefer as an appetizer). We had to ask again for water, the waiter finally brought it but never brought refills. My husband wanted me to bring him some bread and garlic home, as he loves their food, so I asked the waiter if I had to order both separately or if the garlic came with some bread. He said separately, so I asked for a half-dozen bread to go and an 8 oz garlic. He finally updated our receipt and only put a 2 oz garlic on there. My friend had to bring the receipt up to the counter to get them to change it. We paid our bill and were waiting and finally I went back up to the counter to ask for the bread and garlic, which took another 5 minutes - I don't really understand that unless they were out of bread, and I don't believe they were. This experience was a two-star one for me - the food is always very tasty here, which is why it was not a one-star. However, I have dined in here two other times, and both times were better than this one, albeit with slow waitservice both times, so I am downgrading my review to three stars instead of two stars. Unfortunately I will probably not dine in here again, but I would continue to do takeout. They also have coupons in some of the local coupon books, I had a 15% off coupon to use but unfortunately forgot to use it yesterday. read more

Went for dinner today. The dinner was awesome and our waiter, Sam was professional, friendly and took awesome care of us. 3 cheers for Sam read more

This location does not live up to the others. Food is not as flavorful. My cousins and I LOVE la marsa, but would rather visit other locations instead. Staff were very kind. read more

Worse tomatoes kibbeh I have ever had. All onions, tasted nothing else but onions, and very bitter. More than likely they are grating the onions in the machine which turns it bitter. read more

delicious food, very nice waiter. My husband said the salmon was excellent and I love the chicken cream chop shawarma sandwich. Food was served quickly--fresh and hot! read more

The food here is so good! Everything tastes super fresh and full of flavor -- you can tell they really care about what they make. Definitely one of the best spots in town. If you haven't tried LaMarsa yet, you need to come by and grab a plate " read more

Super tasty. The pita comes out of the oven piping hot and served with garlic right when you sit down. I think I filled up on this. I ordered the appetizer size hummus with chicken shawarma. It was very good and I have left overs going home. My husband got fattosh salad with chicken. And he enjoyed his as well. We will come back. read more

Need to update their time. They closed at 9pm. Said I have an hour on here. We stopped by after dinner to grab a fresh squeezed orange juice with carrot. I was craving it after a salty Chinese meal down the street. A guy parked out front told us they were closed. The lights were all on inside. I was still hopeful that they were open as a yelp time stated they were still open for 56 or so minutes. He told me flatly they were closed and they closed at 9 PM. It was around 9:04 PM when he told me that. Why does their time on here say 10 PM, if they're closed at nine? It would be nice if they changed that for future customers. read more

Had a ranch issue with an employee and the owner fixed the issue. I appreciate that this restaurant values their customers.

Had a great meal here last week for lunch. Portions are enormous so easily can share. Pita was served warm with garlic sauce. The hummus with beef was my absolute favorite. I must admit I was not crazy about the rice but the chicken was delicious. I ordered classic mixed dark and white meat. Service was excellent and food came out relatively quick. Would come back here again for sure! read more

Two words... Amazing Flavors! I'm not from the area and last time I wanted Mediterranean we went to a different restaurant located in Ann Arbor but this place was worth the 30 minute drive. First thing I noticed when I arrived to this place was the doors and the decoration, it looks nice. Although our food was carry out and didn't had the experience of eating at this restaurant I strongly recommend it. My friend asked for two orders of lamb chops and when you are a foreigner to this food and culture it's easy to get captivated by the smell only but when I tried them it was an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Rice was gooood as well as hot dolmades (hot grape leaves) I reallly enjoyed a lot the shawarmas! I wanna try their keppe and more stuff and their bread was delicious also I would ask for a side of lebne for it! Hope to go again soon! read more

La Marsa West Bloomfield - Meat Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

This place is great. There are a lot of fast food shawarma places popping up, but La Marsa has the best value for a delicious chicken shawarma sandwich and crushed lentil soup. The waiter was very nice. He informed me of any up-charges so we could make informed decisions and kept the bread and garlic sauce coming. They are very accommodating for picky eaters who want certain items on the side instead of in the sandwiches. My favorite item is koshary which is a unique Egyptian dish filled with carbs upon carbs upon carbs. If you watch a lot of Food Network or Travel Channel you will see it often. I love it and La Marsa makes a delicious koshary that you won't find at other restaurants. It is a bit pricey but worth it. Some of the other prices and up charges are high, but the restaurant is authentic and delicious. read more

We absolutely loved the food. It was fresh, delicious and large portions. Best hummus we have ever had. Rita was our server and she was a true professional. We had 29 in our party, and Mehdi accommodated us with warm and cozy atmosphere. We thank them for a wonderful experience. Will return again. Sally and Tom from Nashville TN read more

We just moved to the area and wanted to try something new so we stopped here for dinner. The service was prompt and friendly. The portions were huge, and the food was fresh and delicious. Everything from the shish kebab to ghallaba and koshary was wonderful. We will definitely be back. read more

The entire la Marsa chain has been my go-to for years whenever I am craving good middle eastern food. Stand outs here: the chicken tawook, the hummus, the fattoush salad and the yummy warm bread and garlic sauce. However I have noticed at times I'll call for a carry out pickup and the order may not be ready, why I'm not sure. I don't mind waiting a few minutes as this does not happen all the time and the food is tasty but occasionally it does. I have noticed since I've placed a few orders since the pandemic started the order portions have gotten smaller for carry out. The shish tawook sandwiches don't feel as big as they used to and the hummus I picked up today (large) was shallowly filled but not plentiful heaped in the styrofoam container and doesn't feel worth $10.59 to me with tax along with a few warm breads. I'm not sure if this is a consequence of the pandemic that the portions are getting cut down while the price remains the same or jumps up? I probably will order less from here / try to find another place that is tasty but gives me more value for the money. read more

I decided to order take out from her based on a friend's recommendation. Ordering by phone was simple. I placed my order and was told that it would ready in about 20 minutes. It was. I ordered the hommous with lamb and an order of chicken wings. The portion sizes were good and the flavor/spice was good. The lamb bites were just a little on the dry side, however, it was edible. I probably would order from here again - by here I mean any one of the La Marsa locations. read more

Ordered 1/2 deboned chicken white Meat off entree menu. The chicken was dry, stringy and had NO sauce-- Their classic or lemon org-- the rice pilaf was so dry and had no slivered almonds- It was like microwave white rice then dried out and reheated. The pitas which my family loves most were rock hard. I am so disappointed and feel like we wasted our money, time, and gas driving to pick it up. read more

I love their food! Great service, had a party of 8 and everyone was happy and went home with even better leftovers. Best hummus and even better lamb chops!!! Then the toum. It makes everything go up a star. Super yummy even crave worthy salads and pita. read more

Food is always delicious and fresh. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Prices are slightly better than other nearby middle eastern restaurants. Highly recommended. read more

Ordered dinner for 6. It was delicious and enough food for a few more people. Containers were used for several people to take home leftovers. read more

Chicken cream chop and chicken shawarma sandwiches are our favorite. Price is very affordable. They are fast. Never had an order wrong either - great service. La Marsa is all over, seems like there's always one close by and although it's a chain restaurant, the food is really good! We have tried other places and the chicken is sometimes dry or it doesn't have enough of something. Never feel like that here. read more

$60 bucks for ughh. Everything was wayyy over salted and I like a lot of salt, I ordered 4 separate dishes for my family, all dishes were so salty they were uneatable. The grape leaves being near frozen was of little concern because of the salt content. I have had better food at the other LA Marsa's this location is the pits. I unfortunately have given them multiple chances because it's near to my residence just hoping it'll be better "this time" nope. read more

It was a Sunday evening and we decided to have dinner at La Marsa. The dining area was not full but we had to wait for a table. Ordered Chicken and Beef Shawarma Combo, with Lentil Soup and Salad. The chicken came out very dry. Soup was cold and bland. The salad and dressing was fresh and crisp. Then we got the Shrimp Scampi, which they should change to vegetarian scampi since the dish was more mushrooms than shrimp. It was paired with my choice of potato fries and rice with almonds. Had to season it with salt and pepper to taste. Service was slow. Had to call the attention of the server many times to get a serving spoon, the bread and our bill. There was no cutlery on our table, so my husband had to pick a set from another table. Our server was unaware at first, and then forgot to bring it when we asked. Used a coupon but Still paid about $30-40 for the meal plus tip, without any drinks. My husband likes the food, not for me. read more

Went in on a Saturday night...kinda busy but only had one server and one busboy on duty. Slow service, but food came pretty fast. Deboned chicken was so-so. Not of a good quality. Crushed Lentil soup was pretty good along with the Fattoush Salad. Bread was cold and not grilled well. Would not recommend this place. read more

5/5 Highly recommend !! great service and amazing food Chicken shawarma and hommous were my favorite.. great service and very clean restaurant.. one of the best in the area read more

I really hate to give bad reviews in these times because I try to help out any restaurant that is still in business. However, my lunch experience yesterday was extremely bad. The place was completely empty. I think there may have been one other table when we arrived at about noon on a Saturday. Yet there were two tables filled with empty dirty dishes from previous customers. The staff was just sitting around talking and eating the entire time. Our service was horrible! The food was absolutely terrible! And nobody working there seem ed to care at all. My girlfriend and I asked our waiter turn the music down because it was so loud and there was nobody else in the restaurant. So they turned the music down. And then five minutes later, sat a mother and young child right behind my seat of the booth so the backs of our heads were about 4 inches apart. So I couldn't hear my girlfriend speak because I heard this child and mother behind me talking the entire time. We were the only two tables there so why would they see us right next to each other? It was the most unfriendly atmosphere ever. Almost like they didn't want us to ever want to come back. I will never go back sadly. read more

Food was excellent! The Deboned Chicken and rice was very delicious and mouth watering.

The fresh made bread and garlic sauce made this visit a great one!! The service was great, they offered large portions enough for my friend and I to split the grilled chicken dish!! I'm used to a savory soup that goes with the rice and the chicken being a little more flavorful! Overall the food was good, we also ordered fresh fruit and veggie smoothies which were awesome and not too sweet! My friend came from Toledo with her daughter and hadn't had fresh Mediterranean in some time and they really enjoyed the food here! read more

It has been several years since I had been to the restaurant in Farmington Hills. I recall my meal was very good and looked forward to dinner at the Bloomfield Hills location. We had 2 appetizers that were good. I ordered deboned chicken, white meat. At least half of it was over cooked and inedible. The parts I ate were not very flavorful. I would not recommend ordering white meat. My friend order dark meat and she said it was good. read more

So new owner took over. Service was horrible, no cream for coffee, my wife ordered the vegetable platter and the ran out of vegetables except carrots so a plate full of carrots , server was clueless how to serve customers never offered water for the table , brought cold bread , never once asked how everything was disappeared for 1/2 hour had to continually go to front counter to get silverware, oil for our dip she brought empty ketchup for the fries , back t ok counter to get pepper. We will never ever go back to that location. Worst part is we were the only customers in the whole place. Some guy was playing on the cash register never once acknowledged us or anyone else, but his buddy walked in and was all about talking with him. My suggestion is go to the Grand river and drake rd one. Excellent service and employees. read more

(12/2020) Placed a large take-out order to be delivered the next day. The mngr was very helpful w food suggestions taking into consideration my gluten, dairy & shellfish allergies. They delivered on time AND the food was still warm. Food had huge portion & was delish!!! Love this place! Highly recommended. read more

This place doesn't even deserve a long in-depth review. There are so many better options for middle eastern food in Michigan than this chain.. the servers are doing nothing in there, they don't write orders down, appetizer came out with our entree, sandwiches were wrong. If you do not have the brain capacity to remember a simple order for two people, then why wouldn't you use a pad and pen to take our orders so you have something to refer to? Sandwiches were greasy and soggy as could be, soup Tasted like it was made 5 days earlier and had a film around it when it arrived. Never received lemons for my soup after asking twice for them... it's safe to say I will never go back. read more

La Marsa West Bloomfield - Not great - Mediterranean Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

La Marsa! Very similar to old school La Shish for those of you old enough to remember that franchise. This was my first time coming to this Orchard Lake location, it's right in the mall. I came here with my good friend Connie G and our families. Since we were a pretty large party of 9 we got the Flaming Feast, or at least that's what we thought we were getting.... Unfortunately they ran out of the kebob skewers so it didn't look anything like the picture, which was disappointing. The waitress also did not tell us this when we ordered.. Anyways, the food was fantastic. The chicken and lamb were perfectly cooked and the rice & veggies were a great supplement. For the price though, I'm not sure if you get as much meat as you would have if everyone ordered an individual dinner. I'm also not a big fan of the Shish Kafta for appearance reasons... ha. Not sure I would do the group plates again, I would recommend everyone order individually. Other than that, great service and a fun time. The restaurant itself isn't that big so if you're a large party I would advise making a reservation (which is what we did). We were seated in a large booth which was perfect for 9. Looking forward to seeing Connie G's version of this review. :) read more

I'm not one to post restaurant reviews. That said I felt I had to give a shout out to La Marsa. They are the best Middle-East restaurant in the Detroit Metro. Never had a bad meal. I've eaten just about everything on their menu. Some of my favorites are... Deboned Chicken, Lamb Kabobs, Beef Shish Kaftas, Chicken and Beef Shawarma. The reason for my review was not because of their great food. It actually is because the way they fixed an order that they messed up. We had a house party and ordered all the food from La Marsa. I wanted it to be delivered yesterday @ 7pm. Sam told me he couldn't because that's when they are the busiest and they were a little short handed. Very understandable, so I had someone that was coming to the party pick up my order on their way to my house. When we opened the trays I noticed there were 2 missing items that I ordered. I called them back, being short handed, I expecting them to want us to leave our guests and make the 20 minute round trip to pick up the items they forgot to give us. That was not the case. As soon as I mentioned what happened, they sent someone to my house. Before I knew it, we had are entire order. Everyone messes up once in awhile. The reason for my review is because they made zero excuses, took what would have been my hardship and made theirs, & delivered the rest of my order in a way that didn't effect my party at all. Way to go La Marsa!! read more

Went today for the lunch buffet. Total is $9.53, not including the tip. They have chaffing dishes setup for self service. They only offer the buffet on Mondays. Selection was limited but the food was good. The 1st dish had toom and hummus. The 2nd had fatoush salad. The 3rd had rice with vermicelli noodles. The 4th had chicken schwarma meat, the last had falafel and sautéed vegetables. All it was missing was maybe some kefta, tabouli and a dessert. Bread was fresh and brought to the table. I think only this location and Troy have the buffet. read more
