Almarah A Culinary Journey with Mixed Service
My wife and I recently dined at our local Mediterranean gem, and the flavors we experienced were nothing short of delightful. The lamb and beef shawarma plate earned a solid 8/10 – a tasty blend that left us satisfied. The lamb kabob with grilled tomatoes, a perfect 10/10, showcased the chef's mastery, while the almarah pizza, a savory 9/10, was a delicious surprise.
Despite the outstanding cuisine, our waitress seemed less than thrilled, making our first visit a bit dry in terms of service. While the food is undoubtedly the star here, those seeking an all-around dining experience might find the service lacking. In summary, a top-notch spot for culinary enthusiasts, but don't expect service to match the excellence of the dishes.
Just dropped in late night weekend for a quick bite. Got the fried chicken tenders. Thought I'd have small fingers or something of that sort. Was surprised at the quantity and quality. The chicken was delicious and the fries were AMAZING. The staff is polite and friendly. Lots of parking spots available outside. Definitely recommended to get fried chicken. I'll be back to try other food off the menu.
Almarah Grill is our go-to spot for Mediterranean delights, and honestly, it never disappoints. The chicken shawarma, falafel, and lamb chops are next-level delicious. However, the lamb kabab was a tad too chewy for my liking – probably won't go for that again. But hey, everything else on the menu is absolute perfection! Apart from their exceptional food, is the relaxed vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind. Bonus points: they’ve got a hookah bar next door, so you can enjoy some flavorful smoke alongside your meal. Total win-win!
I’ve been going to Almarah for a really, really long time. This place is special to my heart and I finally went back for the first time in awhile due to not being in the area any more, and they were better than ever. Food is hot and delicious and comes out quickly. Their pizzas are amazing, their gyro is the best I’ve had and they’re so kind. Please visit here if you have the chance. They also have a hookah lounge!
Tried Almarah yesterday. We loved the food and the atmosphere. There's a wide variety of entrees on the menu to choose from. We got the garlic chicken pizza, hummus w bread, Fattoush salad, chicken kabab plate w rice.
The food was tasty, high quality and served piping hot. It was served fairly quickly.
The ambience is very nice, you get a full view of the street and the interior is very chic.
The service however, was a bit lacking. The lady who greeted and seated us, tried to take our order, but, had a very limited proficiency in English. She had difficulty understanding our order or our questions about the menu items. We kindly requested another attendant/server who was able to take our order.
