Large parking lot as the building sits in the front of a strip mall. Staff was very friendly. Service was very good but it was (maybe) 20% full on a Saturday night at 630. Marrakesh claims to be Mediterranean and they are somewhat correct. I consider Greek, Turkish, Italian to be more Mediterranean. OK, I'll give you Moroccan,, but no way Indian. India is in Asia. ( I know this sounds a little like bragging but I've eaten at many Greek & Turkish restaurants in my lifetime (high end to little, casual cafes), so for those who gave it 5 stars...they probably gave the Olive Garden 5 stars too) The menu is not big and has items from all the cuisines I mentioned above ( except Italy of course) The FOOD.... Apps --The Hummus was just pretty good. but the pita they served was dry like "store-bought". --The Grape Leaves (Rolled grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, parsley, and rice) were just OK too. --The Spanokopita; ( a Greek dish) a mixture of cooked spinach, feta cheese, and onion wrapped in phyllo dough.. was very good. Entrees --The Lamb Chops ( you get 4 of them) are the best bet here. Served with rice or salad. It may be the most expensive dish on the menu but well worth it. ( I did find it odd the server never asked how we wanted it cooked but they were juicy and delish) --I had the Three Meat Combo and choose three items: Chicken Tawook, Lamb, and Sheesh, served with rice and salad. All the meats were very dry. --Maqluba (Mediterranean rice casserole with a special blend of spices, chicken, cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes, served with salad) was tried by a few at our table. It's a huge portion of rice with stuff in it (it was very inexpensive at $16 but then again it was mostly rice) There was an item on the menu ( stuffed Cornish game hen) but they were sold out by 630pm on a Saturday night (odd). Desserts I found it odd that the menu only lists 2 desserts, yet when I asked there were approximately 5 more, including the currently popular Dubai chocolate cake or ice cream ( I forgot which but wish I chose it.) I'm glad I asked because our server never mentioned any specials. Warning: do NOT order the baklava. It was as dry as sand. Worst I ever had and I've had many. All in all the locals surely will like it because it is different and I doubt it has much competition. But if you are visiting and eat this type of food a lot back where you're from, buyer beware.

The menu offers plenty: bowls, sandwiches, wraps, salads, platters, and sides. Coke products are also available. My wife and I ordered the Classic Gyro Bowl and the Greek Gyro Bowl. Both bowls contained plenty of the grilled, crunchy cubes of the Lamb/Beef gyro. Although mine was the "Greek" bowl, very little of the veggies were included, and the tzatziki was missing while the feta was plentiful. Flavor-wise, it tasted good, but it was short on the ingredients. The interior is dingy and our table was sticky despite the wipe down, so I'd recommend getting your food "to go". The service was a solid 4.0, but the other elements drag down my overall scoring.

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.

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.
