What a gem of delicious food, generous service, and reasonable prices and portions! Tasty Palestinian food. Parking is on the street. There is a selection of drinks including international sodas and juices. Food is heavenly and homemade, so there are different specials and desserts based on what is made. I like a brunch where i can get protein and vegetables and sweet treats. For brunch, we loved it! Ambiance is simple and pleasant, with access to a bathroom. read more

Maryams Grill - Shwarma chicken and fries - Middle Eastern Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

While in Little Rock AR for the week, our team went to Maryams Grill for lunch a couple days and it was very impressive. Maryams Grill is a Mediterranean restaurant in downtown Little Rock that serves excellent falafel, Greek salad, and tacos. When you arrive, you place your order at a kiosk screen and submit payment through the screen. You will place your name on the order. You just wait for your name to be called to pick up your order. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. The quality and value for what you pay for is worth the time spent dining at this restaurant. The Greek salad and chicken taco I had were terrific. Everyone else loved their dishes as well. Maryams Grill is a great place for people to go for lunch in downtown Little Rock on their lunch break. It is a great addition to the city. read more

Recently got a spicy falafel wrap and baba ganoush to go. The wrap was a decent size and very filling. Honestly, it may have been the best falafel sandwich I've had in the U.S. in a very long time. I know I'll be back to get another soon! read more

Please update hours- just walked 25 minutes and it is closed for lunch on Saturday. I'll try back another time in my car. read more

Got the falafel wrap & fries. Prices are good for the food & food came out quick. Cozy down to earth atmosphere with very friendly and kind workers! Would definitely come back if I am in the area! 10/10 - highly recommend :)) read more

Great new downtown lunch spot. I've been wanting to try Maryam's for a while now and I'm so glad I did! Hubby and I took ourselves over to The Tower Building for lunch. Street parking was fine on a Friday at noon. I ordered the chicken shwarma with a side of fries and hubby ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with a side of falafel. (He wanted the beef kabob sandwich but the counter person kindly informed us it takes 20-25 minutes to cook.) Both sandwiches were excellent, huge portions of chicken. Hubby and I agreed we both slightly preferred the chicken shwarma since it wasn't quite as messy. Nice, wavy cut fries with a little seasoning. I appreciate them not being overly salty. The star of the show was the falafel! It was so fresh, moist in the middle, crunch on the outside- perfectly cooked. I love that it wasn't so overwhelming spiced. I will definitely get the falafel wrap next time! read more

Pick up order was timely and packaged well. Food was amazing! Will be adding this spot to our regular lunch rotation! read more

I recommend Maryams Grill to anyone looking for great Mediterranean food in Little Rock! The waitresses were all very friendly, and the service was quick! The restaurant itself is a cute, clean environment that is easily located within the city. I ordered the Gyro Sandwich and it was delicious! I would definitely eat here again. read more

Although the food was very good, we waited over an hour and a half to get our food served. It did not appear to be busy so we had no idea we were going to be waiting so long. The staff apologized several times, but they should have communicated this when we ordered. The food came out individually so none of us ate at the same time. The last dish came out and was cold. The food was still very good and the staff was very nice, but not worth the wait. read more

Great value, and extremely tasty. No table service, but the folks behind the counter were great. Ambiance is spare, but VERY clean and neat. Exactly what you'd want in a downtown kebab shop. read more

Absolutely the best Mediterranean food I've had so far in Little Rock and I've tried quite a few places! This one was beyond amazing. I got the meal platter with Kofte and the cheesesteak sandwich.. both amazing and the best fries I've ever had. I could go on and on about this place. And a worker gave my 3yr old a small bag of candy which was so sweet. Will go back asap! read more

Maryams Grill - I moved some stuff around, it was plated better when i got it but so delicious! Kofte with salad and falafel and baba ganoush - Middle Eastern Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Great casual spot for lunch. Greek salad with chicken was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, they even gave me some complimentary falafel. read more

Yummy! We had the gyro sandwich and the dip platter. Friendly service and very tasty menu options. We'll definitely visit again.

A very colorful and clean Mediterranean restaurant in downtown Little Rock is a welcome addition. You walk through a line where they build your custom order. You have the typical Mediterranean foos choices plus a Philly Cheese steak sandwich and more. The food is fresh and seasoned very well. This is a busy restaurant for a reason. read more

Maryams Grill - Middle Eastern Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Great place to stop by during lunch in downtown Little Rock! I ordered the gyro platter, and it comes with saffron rice, gyro meat, your choice of tzatziki or hummus, a freshly baked pita bread portion, and a small Greek salad with olives and feta cheese. The saffron rice was the most fragrant I've ever had at my many experiences at Mediterranean restaurants; it was a pleasant surprise! The gyro meat was soft, moist, fluffy, and best yet--SO FLAVORFUL. Good prices, great food. If you're a downtown employee, this HAS to be one of your regular spots to eat. read more

This might be the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Little Rock. It is counter service but then a nice seating area to use, especially compared with the previous restaurant in the space. I have started coming here as one of my go to's for casual business lunches. I usually am getting a salad with grilled chicken, hummus, and baba ghanouj. But everything has been good to great for my dining companions and me. read more

This place is an excellent place to eat for 3 reasons: Number 1: The food is DELICIOUS! Number 2: The people here are very kid-friendly. Number 3: The people here are very efficient! This place is AWESOME!!!! It just feels like a good place! read more

My god I love these kind of mom and pop places. You want real food and not the freeze dried nonsense from a chain, do yourself and your body a favor and check this place out. Such pleasant and happy people that serve incredible food. I got the falafel and my buddy got the crepes. We both couldn't recommend Maryams more. read more

Maryam's Grill was fantastic! We were visiting from out of town, casually stopped by, and the dining experience exceeded our expectations by far! The staff was friendly, courteous, and food was great!! 10/10 recommend. read more

Called a couple of times and thought they were closed. Kept calling to place a to go order. When I finally got someone he told me to hold 10 minutes. Stated they were busy and he shouldn't have answered the phone. I couldn't hold that long so unfortunately I couldn't get my sandwich that I love so much. read more

Absolutely delicious Greek food. The hummus is very simple but the favor is wonderful...I could eat a whole bowl of it. If you like Greek food you will love this place. read more

Quick lunch for a great value. Babaghanoush was excellent. Service was quick and friendly. We are in town for a conference and this was an excellent place for lunch between sessions. I loved the falafel. The spicy rIce had a good back kick without being too hot. read more

This is a great addition to the downtown lunch scene. The menu is short and simple with gyro, chicken, and falafel lunch plates along with sandwiches and salads. The staff is all super friendly and you can grab a quick lunch. This has become a weekly stop for me. This is a change from all the regular burger, pizza, and sandwiches. This is a must try if you are working downtown. read more

For quick, cheap Mediterranean food downtown (but not in the River Market), Arbela is certainly welcome to the Little Rock lunch scene. You order at the counter and choose what you want from falafel, gyro, chicken, tabbouleh, lentil soup, and a few desserts. The meats can be done with rice, pita, and sauce, or as a wrap. The prices are around $6-7, with soups/sides at $2-3. Service is really fast, though a line usually starts building by 11:45. The overall quality of the food is OK. It isn't as good as say Layla's in WLR but it is definitely a step up from the spot in the River Market. I'd recommend a stop since it's fast, cheap, and new, but don't expect to be blown away by quality. read more

Pretty good Mediterranean food for a quick lunch or dinner! The chicken plate with spicy rice is the usual go to

Maryams is absolutely delicious! I love their chicken which is large chunks of flavorful chicken with a fantastic taste. Their Mediterranean salad base is so fresh and the vinaigrette they put on top is a perfect simple dressing. Their baba ganoush is absolutely one of my all time favorites - very lemony and flavorful. I also love their tzatziki which is rich and creamy but with really great flavor. Highly recommend! read more

I'd give this place a 3.5. I got the falafel Sandwich with a side of tabbouleh. The pita was a little hard and chewy. The hummus in the sandwich was good but had a slightly unique flavor. The falafel itself was good. My friend got the tzatziki and that was delicious! read more

So we usually order fro Arbelas. We got our food today and neither one of us enjoyed our meal. The food was not good at all. I don't know if they have changed management or what. We are highly disappointed. It was 3 of us and we all agreed we will not be eating here again. And I cant recommend them anymore to anyone. The service was great. read more

It's an odd name for a mediterranean restaurant isn't it? I assumed they serve Italian. Oh wait; Italy is on the Mediterranean. Well, you know what I mean... This place, you walk up and give a guy your order and he starts making it; a la Subway. It's loud in there, and I had a hard time understanding/hearing. It's cheap. For the price of a large value meal from nearby fast food joints, you can get a small baba ganoush or hummus and a falafel plate that includes a salad, some pita, rice, and four falafel balls. Bad news first: Though I've met quite a few people who raved about the hummus, I wasn't a fan. I thought it was pretty bland except for the overwhelming taste of Tahini. A friend said it's better in the morning after a night of mixing in the refrigerator; and for $3 they really do give you quite a bit of it. The falafel is different than most of the others I've had. Usually it's pretty dense and dry, but this was quite the opposite. It had a really good flavor that meshed well with the bit of tzatziki they supplied. The rice (I asked for spicy) was good too, but if you ask for spicy, don't expect it to burn your mouth; I think the spices they refer to are like cloves and cumin. I can't wait to return there and try their gyros. It'll have to be at lunch though, because they're not open except for 11-2 M-F. read more

Great food, exceptional staff. Love it! The gyro meat is awesome but the hummus is the shining star!!! read more

Maryams Grill - Gyro plate, lot of food for under $9. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

What a great find this was. It's super close to my work and never disappoints. I often get the combination plate which has both gyro and chicken over a bed of their delicious spicy rice. It comes with a side salad, 2 falafels, fresh warm pita bread, and a choice of their tatziki sauce or unbelievable hummus. All this for 10 bucks is great. I will often order the hummus and sauce. Sometimes they change me, sometimes they don't. Either way I leave feeling great. It might not be where I take you if you ask for the best gyro Little Rock has to offer, but for the very friendly staff, great prices, and healthy portions, this place gets my business once a week minimum! read more

Excellent food for not a lot of money. The marinated, grilled chicken is wonderful which you get with your choice of saffron rice or a spicier version of rice. Some of the best hummus in town. It has a marvelous creamy texture. And the baba ganoush is just as good. Tastes like the eggplant just came off the grill and also super creamy in texture. Service is always quick and efficient. read more

The food was good. The gyro was tasty, the tzaziki was flavorful and the hummus was good. The only complaint I have is the chicken was a bit dry. All in all a great place for lunch any day of the week. read more

This is a no frills Mediterranean spot served cafeteria style. There just a couple meats and a couple sides. You can get the meats as a platter, salad, or sandwich. The chicken platter with spicy rice and hummus was roughly $8 and took less than a minute to get. It seems like they know they are trying to add diversity downtown lunch scene. The set it up and price make it a good addition read more

Great chicken salad! So good and huge! I ordered a small side of hummus with it for .70 extra and comes with pita bread. Service is great and Everyone is friendly! I call ahead and my order is ready in less than 5 mins! read more

Great place..lots of people..nice atmosphere, authentic humus and falafel.. Shawerma is wonderful. Me and my husband went there for lunch and we enjoyed it a lot.. We also tried the zinger chicken and the Philly steak, everything was fantastic read more

I love the Gyro plate . I always try to get there before the lunch rush because people are always lining up. It's super close to work and so much healthier than going to the fast food restaurants. Service is not super fast but that's because you have so many options and more folks do not know what they want. I am willing to wait though because it's hard to get a good gyro plate downtown. I usually sit in but sometimes I have to grab to go back to work. Either way good quality food for a reasonable price. I've had lunch meetings here but have also come to eat alone. It's possible to do both. read more
