They serve you your drinks and your food and they are very attentive to making sure your drinks stay filled.

Definitely give this place a try if you want something authentic to what they have in Israel.

We had the matzoh ball soup and the lentil soup, with a side of hummus and pita. First... That pita was the most amazing Pita I've ever had! However, I will say that the soups and the hummus were a little on the bland side. You definitely have to take advantage of the hot sauce that they bring to the table made from Serrano peppers. I also never add salt to anything... However, I had to add salt to both of the soups. Still... Definitely would recommend and definitely will be back!

I love Makarios! I've been eating here for years. Service is, for the most part, always good, and…read morethe food is consistently delicious! I've honestly never had a dish here that I didn't like. My favorites include the Zesty Ghallaba (chicken or salmon), the Shish Tawook with Lemon Oregano and the Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken. The ambiance is perfect for date night or a nice dinner by yourself. On average, for two people, expect to spend between $45-$55 on authentic Mediterranean cuisine that's been a staple in the city for years. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed! Pro Tip: Their salad dressing is available for purchase. Get you a bottle for the house!

We ended up sharing the chicken shawarma wrap with a side of falafel and the cost was $21, but there was a good quantity of food. Definitely get the pickles on the wrap or whatever it is you order from here. They are apparently Egyptian pickles and add something magical. I'm not usually one for pickles, but trust me on this! The falafel were shaped like donuts and not like any I've ever had before. They are a little mushier but I was fine with the texture. The outside was extra crispy. Loved that. The spicy tahini was especially good and not very spicy for me but too much for my daughter. The restaurant itself needs a good scrub from top to bottom but it isn't enough of a red flag that I wouldn't go back tomorrow. There's meat on an open spit, so I imagine it's hard to keep a layer of grease off every surface. We will definitely be back!

My guy and I visited one afternoon recently. We live on the opposite area of town but had read…read more great reviews so we decided to visit for ourselves. Upon entering, we told Mr Oli (the owner) that it was our first visit. Not only did he explain the menu in great detail to us, but he gave us samples of the chicken salad, lamb and baklava while we made our decision on what we were ordering. I had my mind set on the chicken kabobs, but changed after he showed me a plated salmon meal. It was cooked just as I like it so I ordered one for myself. My guy, who isn't big on trying new things, opted for the lemon pepper wings and fries combo. However, he did agree to try the gyro meal on our next visit. We also ordered a special dessert Mr Oli told us was a secret recipe from his wife that could only be found at his restaurant. I was excited to try it! A short time later, our food was brought to our table by Mr Oli. My salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The salad was fresh and the dressing complemented it well. The pita bread was served warm and the hummus was creamy and flavorful. My guy enjoyed his wings and said that he could taste the special touch Mr Oli put on them. The dessert was something special. Crispy, and fried golden with a unique taste, it definitely was something we would order again on our next visit. It wasn't sweet but met the needs of a sweet tooth calling. If that makes any sense, lol. The creamy cheese filling reminded me of a decadent cheesecake. The ambiance gave quaint neighborhood eatery. As we sat and waited on our food, we saw regulars come in and order. They chatted with Mr Oli as he prepared their orders. He's super friendly and I want to see his business thrive. Great customer service, delicious, healthy food at comparable prices makes for a 5 star review. I can't wait to return for the chicken kabobs!
