I recommend picking some up from their to go case for later in the week. They even have entire family packs ready to go! And speaking of family the owner is hands on making sure everything is perfect. We had the pleasure of having his granddaughter bring us our tea! I love the calamari. Very lightly breaded and generous portion. Team it up with their crisp,fresh salad and you are good to go!

I ordered the chicken salad and some falafel (forgot to take pic) & the vegetables were very fresh! There was so much chicken on the salad. The serving size was definitely for 2, but at least I got my money's worth! The salad dressing had a slight sweetness to it & the chicken tasted like it had a little curry incorporated into the seasonings. Definitely different than past experiences I have had eating Mediterranean food. YUM!

Popped in here for dinner with a few coworkers, as it was one of the few places open near our…read morehotel. 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.

Dined at Bateeni for lunch and it did not disappoint. We started with the bateeni sampler and the…read moregrape leaves were the best we've had. The rest of the sampler was also divine. My husband had the chicken kabob plate and I had the lamb gyro - both of which were phenomenal. The pistachio baklava was also great. Mediterranean food has been my go to since being pregnant and we will likely stop in here every trip to Greenville! Service was quick and our waitress was attentive.

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.

( 2.5 stars rounded up) Now in a new, larger location in…read morewhat must have been a chain restaurant building. Nicely decorated more toward Indian & Moroccan design. 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.

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!
