As soon as you walk in you can see the kitchen and prep counter with the menu right above it. Order at the counter and pick up at the other end when your pager goes off. We kept it simple and ordered the lamb gyro, seasoned fries, drink, and hummus appetizer. We just had waters, but they offer wine, beer, sodas, bottled water, and some other drinks. Fairly simple, but good size menu with plenty of options. There are plenty of seating options with tables, booths, and outdoor tables as well. While we were waiting and eating there were several to go orders. Steady flow of customers in and out. They also have a great music selection! After a short wait our delicious gyros arrived. The presentation was nothing flashy, but good. The fires were seasoned just right for me, but a little too salty for the wife. The gyros were as expected, delicious and a good size for us. The hummus plate was actually larger than expected, but a nice surprise. There was enough naan for sure. I did not take any pics this time. Overall experience was excellent honestly. We'll definitely eat here again. I recommend giving Olea Mediterranean Kitchen a try.

Howeverrr, I finally made it here and wow! Marrakesh quickly became one of my favorite places in Jacksonville. I dined here with some girlfriends for a Christmas gift exchange and we had a table in the back, tucked away from the hustle and bustle and I thought the privacy we got was so nice. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the full bar in the center of the dining room is so aesthetically pleasing. We started with the falafels which were so good and the labneh with pita bread which was even better, definitely my favorite appetizer of the night. I kept going back for more. I am usually a gyro girly but for my entree, I did the three meat platter (chicken tawook, sheesh and shawarma) with the yellow rice and cucumber salad. UGH, I am salivating as I write this. Everything was delicious but the tawook was hands down my favorite protein of the three. Reagan was our server and she is so sweet! She really knows how to take care of you. I can't wait to bring my husband!

Lamb gyro on warm pita was really good, generous, and filling the best I've had in a while, and for I think $3.99 I gott a sizeable chunk of baklava, one of the few items not made in-house. It was moist and sweet, and according to my tastes, was made with honey as opposed to simple sugar solution (sugar water), absolutely delicious, and was of a size that might have cost a lot more elsewhere.

The food is very high quality with pita piping hot and very soft. The hummus is more of a grainy chickpea forward type with garlic (GARLIC.....GARLIC!). You'll be vampire proof for at least 24 hours. Definitely worth a visit, just don't go there if you're strapped for time.

I asked for salt for my fries and the man replied we don't have any our food is already salted. Never had a restaurant not have salt and pepper. Some of us like a bit more salt. The gyro meat was pretty good but could of been a bit more marinated. The place was clean and pricers were very good for the large portion. They had their young son take my order and rang me up which was great! Love seeing kids learning their family business. Found this place through Yelp, while working in the area. I would come again and try other dishes. They have their own parking which is good too.

Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly blended. You can really taste the care and quality in the food. What truly set this place apart, though, was the personalized service. The staff was warm, engaging, and clearly built real relationships with their regulars. They greeted every customer that entered as they walked in. They even took a moment to congratulate a customer who had just graduated from college and engaged their family celebrating with them. That kind of genuine connection is rare and incredibly refreshing. When I finished eating, I realized I wasn't in any rush to leave. I just sat there, soaking it all in with a goofy smile on my face, enjoying the atmosphere and the experience as a whole. The next time I'm in Greenville, I will definitely be back. Yaba Mediterranean Grill is a true gem.

It had snowed that particular week, so not sure if it was quiet because of that, because there was only one other customer in the restaurant. The place is quite plain and noticeably sparse. I shared a Bateeni Sampler with a co-worker. My thoughts - Hummus and Babaghanouj were quite good. - Falafel had a lot more sesame than I normally see, which I liked - Tabbouleh was very fresh - Grape leaves and cabbage salad was OK Despite being very quiet, the food took a long time to prepare. I would say it probably took 15-20 minutes, which seemed very long. Server was nice enough, but there was definitely some miscommunication between the front and back because we ordered a few items to go too, so we waited around 5-10 minutes to find out what we wanted wasn't available. There was some difficulties with refunding what we prepaid, so we ended up taking other food as a substitute. Overall, food was fine, but service had a lot of room for improvement.
