Newly opened Restaurant...by word of mouth super crowded. Everything was great. At first I thought the seating would be too close but it worked. Our neighbors were there but didn't hear them and had plenty of space. Food was ample. You get a nice size salad with yiur meal and soup. I choose the lamb soup which was a meal in itself. My meal was a vegetarian mousakka. No potatoes...yeah for our carb sensitive people.well done with lots of eggplant. Huge portion. read more

I had read reviews in Nextdoor, a community newsletter so we decided to try it with neighbors. On a Thursday night, the place was packed. It is a new Mediterranean restaurant from Michigan with another location in Coral Springs. Huge menu. No bar or wine list so you can bring your on wine without a corkage fee. Started with the Starter Combo, A Combo Pleasing to Everyone: Hommous, Baba Ghannooj and Tabbouli. Served with small pitas, very good. For mains, I opted for the Lamb Kabobs, 2 Skewers of lamb marinated and grilled. Ordered medium and it came out well done , also lacking taste and flavor. My wife selected the Mousaka, eggplant , baked with fresh tomatoes, onions, green peppers, garlic and seasonings. Not the Greek style but they said an Egyptian style. Both dinners come with a choice of 2 sides, soup or salad. My wife chose the Chicken Vegetable Soup and I got the salad, not descript. For an upcharge you can get Fattoush Salad, Greek Salad, or Tabbouli Salad , should have ordered the Greek Salad. Other sides are Rice Pilaf, Fries, or Grilled Vegetables for a $ 1 upcharge. The food is just ok but the portions are large . That's why they are busy, a lot of over 55 communities in the area. read more

Food cold appeared everything was quickly thrown on grill to reheat prior to serving. All four of us had grilled meats served cold No reason for this. Noise level makes it impossible to to have a conversation at dinner. read more

good reviews on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. It was a Monday night so it was quite quiet, but I did have reservations prior to the season ending. It was very crowded every time I pass this restaurant so I made reservations I had the grilled salmon which was good. It came with two sides. If you wanted to upgrade it, they charge me an extra dollar for the vegetables and an extra dollar cause I upgraded the salad to Greek. I thought that was pretty tacky a dollar extra for vegetables salad. I can understand ! we also had the lamb platter, which was a bunch of little taste of foods which was good. The waiter was nice, but not that attentive. I finally got our check, but we were in no hurry actually so it didn't make a big difference. They gave you pita bread with some kind of garlic butter. 00 it was a nice experience. parking is easy so I probably will return and try again. read more

Got there on time for a Thursday 8pm reservation. We were seated in a couple of minutes, given menus, ordered drinks. We had a few questions which were answered and we ordered. We started with meat grape leaves which were very good. I generally prefer rice -stuffed, but I enjoyed these and my companion absolutely loved them. They were served with a good lebneh. We also had baba ganouje which was sooo delicious. Entrees were chicken ghallaba which I had spicy. Very good. Companion had moussaka which was very unusual. Not the usual lasagna style. It was chunks of eggplant in a sauce. Totally Delicious. Waitstaff was so nice and friendly. Can't wait to come back! read more

A delicious Tunisian restaurant! The chicken Schwarma, chicken kabob, chicken kofte, and fries were all really good. The house-made mint lemonade was really nice, too, and not too sweet. Run by some nice folks and servers. I look forward to coming back. read more

We had been to their first restaurant in Coral Springs and liked it, so we were looking forward to their new venue. We decided to stop by for lunch -- after our friends decided not to join us there for the weekend. It's a good thing we went for lunch, as we heard they were totally sold out/booked up already for the weekend. And even though we came for a late lunch, most tables were full and folks were still coming in at 1:30 pm/2 pm. We'd been to this shopping strip before. There's parking out front. There's no sign up yet, so just look for the suite numbers. It's located on the north end. We started with a small pot of hot mint tea to share. A nice addition to our meal. Based on our server's recommendations, we chose an entree as opposed to a sandwich from their lunch menu. The entrees include two sides for only a bit more. We added a small order of hummus. This was creamy and delicious. Perfect with the (comp) freshly baked hot small pita puffs. You can watch them cook the pita in the oven right by the counter/bar when you come into the restaurant, btw. The pita comes with a garlicky dipping sauce. For our entrees, my husband chose lamb chili to start and I upgraded to a fatoush salad. The salad was wonderful with crispy pita bits. I shared some of it. My husband says he'd get the chili again. You get to choose soup or salad. For our main, we both chose the meat shish kafta. It was a large portion with two skewers of ground meat. The plate had roasted veggies (carrot and peppers); tomatoes and onions; pickled turnips; and small cup of sauce. My choice of side was a fluffy rice -- it was topped with almond slices. He had well done French fries. We got some more sumac spice which we liberally added to everything. Dipped the meat into the sauces and the hummus, too. Everything was great. For dessert, we got an order of kunefe (kinefe/ kunefah) . They have other desserts, but this one is my husband's favorites. They served the piece of freshly warmed pastry then poured a small pitcher of sweet syrup over the top. It was absolutely yummy -- not too sweet. Just perfect. We had enough to bring home of everything to enjoy for dinner that night. We had excellent service from Miriam. We were checked on by the manager/owner, too. We can't wait to come back... read more

Having dined at the Coral Springs location a while back we were eagerly awaiting the opening of their restaurant in Delray. The parking lot was fairly full but we did find a spot nearby. Upon entering we saw they were fairly full but we were greeted and seated at a seat near the window. (At 1:30, people were still lining up for a table). A large menu as well as a Lunch Special menu with many great favorite dishes and hand helds. I chose the Shish Kafka with Lamb chili and fries. We shared a pot of mint tea and were not disappointed when our entrees arrived! Delicious and generous servings. We even took some home. Saved room for dessert ... my favorite ... Kunefe! Perfect warm sweet cheese wrapped in crunchy Philo and topped with crushed pistachios and drizzled with light sweet syrup. Yes! read more

Their food is delicious! I had the lamb kabobs and they were as tender as any high end restaurant! Veggies were delicious too!

My chicken Ka Bob with vegetables were grilled almost beyond recognition. I tried getting thru the meal as I was hungry but should've taken my wife's advice to send it back. I finished about half the dish and told the Manager - who apologized, gave me his card and promised to "make it right" the next time I visit. Service was acceptable as was the ambiance, in a strip mall kind of way. read more

The food is amazing! Very similar to Greek. We ordered the sampler for two, chicken, beef, lamb and kafta. It came with the best hommous, fresh salad and these fresh baked bread pockets. We had it with Rice, delicious with sliced almonds on top. It's Bring Your Own Bottle. We were too full for dessert but next time we will give it a try. read more

My boss found this place near our work and we went for lunch! The lunch menu had a great variety of items for a great price. I wish I would've taken photos but I ate everything too quickly before I could remember, it was that good! Upon walking into the restaurant, the ambiance was nice and there was a brick oven! I knew I was in for some good bread. They bring out fresh (still steaming hot) pita bread and toum to the table... I was in heaven. I got the shish tawook (lemon oregano) entree with a Greek salad & fries! All of the flavors were delicious and I would definitely go again. Spent less than $20 with tip! Service was quick and easy. People were friendly. read more

We had Grubhub take out so maybe different than in person. Meat was well seasoned and came with several dipping sauces. I didn't love the pita but if you like more bread-like pita you will love this. It was thick and fluffy in heart shapes (I'm guessing for Mother's Day). Lots of food! Easy for sharing and overall pretty good. read more

I went for lunch today and had an amazing experience. The server brought out piping hot homemade bread rolls with a dish of garlic paste (omg this could have been my meal). Then my lunch special came out and I ordered the vegetarian platter with hummus, tabouli, falafel and rice, side of tahini. This entire lunch was amazing from beginning to end. Hold your horses, this platter was a whopping $12.99. I was beyond impressed by the quality and freshness of each and every item, I feel like going back for dinner tonight, except I am stuffed. If you are a fan of middle eastern cuisine, make this place your next stop. Service was spot on and ambience is beautiful and spotless. I didn't do dessert but the baklava looked delicious. They have been open about 3 weeks and it is a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Tried La Marsa today for the first time and really loved it. I had the shawarma chicken sandwich, rice pilaf, and bread pudding. All three items were very tasty. We will definitely be going back! read more

Went to LA Marsa (named after a region in Tunisia) after reading numerous accolades interviews in the NextDoor app. Food was properly flavored with fine seasoned ingredients. Best falafel balls I've ever had, and enjoyed a wholesome bowl of something called Fool(?). A rich assemblage of lentils, tomatoes and onions. One of the best restaurants I've been to,on par with Coriander in Boynton. 2 thumbs up!!! read more

I've ordered takeout from Marcia Delray Beach twice now, and both experiences have been outstanding. From the first bite, it's obvious that the ingredients are incredibly fresh. The vegetables, proteins, and sides are all expertly prepared, and the portions are generous. Although I haven't had the chance to dine in yet, the restaurant itself is beautiful. It's a large, thoughtfully designed space with a calming atmosphere and elegant décor. Every time I've visited, the restaurant has been spotless, efficiently run, and very welcoming. I believe the owner is the person who greets guests at the door, and he has been exceptionally friendly and hospitable. The last two times I ordered, I brought food back for my office team, and everyone unanimously gave it a 10 out of 10. The lemon chicken is absolutely delicious, and several of the specialty dishes we've tried have been fantastic. On our most recent order, we stepped outside our comfort zone and tried something completely new--and loved every bite. The food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall experience have all exceeded expectations. This is quickly becoming our new favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, and I look forward to dining in soon. read more

La Marsa has been around in Michigan for years. I love that we now have a location in Delray! I've only had takeout from this location, it's always quality and large portions. I typically get the Chicken Gallaba and fattoush salad. read more

Amazing restaurant. Everything we tried was outstanding. Service is excellent. Very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Both the chicken and lamb kabobs were overcooked. I've never eaten chicken that dry. Had to ask for sauce. Ended up leaving half on my plate. Salad was not interesting at all. Not sure what dressing was on it. Very disappointed after hearing good things. Another restaurant off my list. read more

The "Opening Soon" sign has been teasing me for weeks in San Marco Plaza. Finally opened this week!! And I was so afraid after all the anticipation I would be dissappointed. Not at all, in fact they over delivered. The humus and pita bread appetizer was AMAZING, I had the beef kabobs and could only eat 1/2 and also very good. My wife had the Oregano Chicken and she liked it very much, but also could only eat 1/2. Mariem was our was out server and probably the nicest one we have had in a while. Friendly, great smile, professional, made the meal even better. La Marsa is a block from home and for sure will be a regular stop. Well Done! read more

New Mediterranean restaurant, featuring - Lebanese, Egyptian, etc, foods. Music level is perfect, in the background and not overpowering. They played a mix of Arabic and pop tunes on our visit. I liked the decor, earthtones, pinks and green. Our server, Mo, was attentive. As soon as we sat down he brought hot little pitas with garlic spread. He kept our glasses full and explained items on the menu. I started with a Cobra- fresh juice made with beets, orange, apple, and celery. It was delicious - order if you like beets. Their baba ghannooj was creamy and very smokey. Our lunch entrees included soup or salad and fries or rice. The fries were crispy, but coated. The toabbouli and Greek salad were fresh, but a little too heavily dressed. For our mains we tried the lamb chops and lamb kabobs. Both were very good. My companion liked my lamb chops better than his kebab. I liked his kebab better. It was moist and easy to eat. I also liked the small onion salad and garnishes. Desserts include a Dubai creation and a type of bread pudding - oma ali. We took home baklava. I thought it was expensive for 4 small pieces. The restaurant is on the end of the plaza, across from TD Bank, and was still waiting for their sign when we stopped in. I was impressed by how well this restaurant was run, especially since they've only been open a couple of weeks. read more

A good dinner is not just about the food.... From the moment the unfriendly hostess squeezed us in between people like ducks in a row and NOT POLITELY refusing to give me one of MANY open tables right in front of us when I asked nicely and then 3 minutes later seated a couple at that table the ambience was gone , and 10 full minutes later hoping for at least recognition we were there with a glass of water we decided to leave. Sad, we were looking forward to this opening but you really need to train your help to be nicer and more on the job. read more

This new restaurant was packed on Saturday night, but they honored our reservation and sat us on time! As for the food, our party really enjoyed everything, but the beef was a little too dry. The mezz, salads and particularly the lamb chops were all great. Definitely one to put on your list, but make sure you make a reservation, especially on the weekend. read more

Ordered take out twice and both times it was fantastic! Hummus is on point and the gyro was excellent !

Loved it! I'll for sure be back. Food was so fresh and tasty. Mohammed was great! See u soon.

Waitress service was not good. She charged us for something she shouldn't have. Not nice

Friendly staff which was nice. Tables are close together. There is nothing on the windows to soften the noise or to keep the sun from streaming in. Lots of upsell. Plus: $1 more for roasted vegetables, $1.50 more for a "greek" salad, $1 more for soup, $1.00 for lemon and oregano, etc. The lamb kabob and roasted vegetables were very dry. The chicken kabob was not as dry but was dry. Food came out too fast - while we were still working on our salads and appetizers. Had to flag someone down twice to get a refill on our drinks. No hot water in the bathroom and the soap dispenser was falling off the wall. Advertisements played in the bathroom on a screen which was weird. I saw it is a chain from Michigan. It didn't work for me. Not going back. read more

Food excellent BUT Reservations one Star ;( especially on weekends they can Not handle Open Table and calls reservations at the same time We had reservations 6.45 pm last Saturday We got there on time people waiting outside inside at the bar and place was packed Took us 10 min just to give our name At first she couldn't find us so we showed her the reservation no / another 5-7 min later told us to wait 20 minutes We left read more

We had a 6:00 reservation on a Sunday evening. We arrived at 6:05 and had to struggle to get up to the hostess. We signed in and were told they were running behind. It appeared that they were also taking names of walk-ins and seating the walk-in's interspersed with those who had reservations. We were finally seated at 6:55. Water and bread were promptly placed on the table. At 7:05 we placed our food order. Soup and salad came out within five minutes. After that, we did not see our main courses until about 10 minutes of eight. I had the chicken livers and they were absolutely tasteless. My friend ordered her lamb kebab rare. It was almost raw. The noise level was high. I have not had such a negative dining experience in a long time. read more

I didn't find the food fabulous and I was looking for a real Greek restaurant to tell you the truth so that could be my fault. I know that people love this restaurant and you should continue to go there if you do like it. read more

Had reservation but that doesn't count in the place. The Hostess gives the impression she's doing you a favor & is not trained in hospitality manners. Everyone says the food is great but to us the lack of manners makes any place a "stay away "!!! read more

New mediterranean restaurant in the area with a varied menu and generous portions. Service was a little shaky but I attribute that to a new wait staff, so I'm sure that will improve over time. read more

Been here twice and carry out tonight. Reminds us of when we lived in metro Detroit 15+ years ago. The food is do good. Yousif is a great asset seems to always be moving. The service is still catching up to the food but they have a great attitude. Be patient and enjoy the food. read more

Great food but c terrible service. The waiter never came back to the table after we received our food. We had to speak to another staff member after waiting 30 minutes just to get the check! read more

My wife and I enjoy Greek and Turkish cuisine. Tunisian cooking is a little different. The pita was puffier and delicious. The salads were very good as was the dressing. We shared a dish of hummus, babaganoush and meat stuffed grape leaves, all delicious. My wife had a chicken dish that was tasty but a little dry. I had a lamb kabob that was tasty, juicy and delicious. While we had no problem with waiting, friends have said that they had to wait 15-30 minutes despite having a reservation. They still come back for the delicious food! We had Arnold Palmers as our beverage and they were very good. read more

I almost hate to post this because this restaurant is so good that everybody needs to go there, but I'm afraid if that happens. the rest of us won't be able to get in when we want. I had lamb, which was the most tender and most flavorful I've ever had. Everybody in our party got the same thing and we all agreed. We went for lunch, but the next time we're going for dinner. They have a taster menu for two or for four, which we will be getting the next time because if everything is as good as the lamb was, it will be worth it. read more

We were recently there on a Friday night. Fortunately, we knew to make reservations. The restaurant was crowded but we were seated after a short wait. After looking over the menu, we were ready to order. The waitress indicated, that on a busy night,these weren't advisable. The food was delicious, a few kabobs, and a special for two. Bread was much better than normal pita bread. Humus was extra smooth. La Marsa is a Tunisian restaurant. The waitress needed more help than she received. She brought all dishes out and refilled our waters. A busboy could have done that. We'll return on a weeknight and hope to try the items that we ere discouraged from ordering this time. read more

Enjoyed the food! Really liked the share platter! Was crowded the night we went but sat us within 10 minutes of reservation time!
