We recently visited Mario's for the first time. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions, and the food was delicious with generous portions. They accidentally gave us the wrong salad, did not charge us for the mistake (even though we had started eating it and told them we did not mind the mix-up), and delivered the correct salad promptly. We will be returning! read more

I love this place! Great ambiance and big portion size. Would certainly cone back again. read more

Maro's - This cauliflower vegan plate was delicious - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Very nice lunch. Food was fresh and flavourful. The portions were dinner sized. I would recommend splitting an entre and and appetizer between two if you are going to have lunch. read more

My entire family has been coming to Maro's since I can remember and it has always been THE spot to get your hands on a good burritos (and trust me when I say I've had my fair share of all things burrito). But these burritos aren't just good, they are undeniably the best thing to have graced my taste buds. So much so that Maro's has become a weekly ritual, especially with their patio seating this summer. I know I've only talked about their burritos/burrito bowls but you won't be disappointed with anything on the menu. There is literally something for everyone. The Bella and the Beast is one of my all time faves and the baklava ... well let's just say I've contemplated ordering multiple. Also, I should mention their Turkish coffee goes very very well with the baklava! Would recommended to anyone and everyone! read more

Maro's - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Nice twist from traditional Arabic food I ordered lunch The place was busy but did not have to wait for long Would comeback again read more

The food is great. Never had such amazing cauliflower ever! Shawarma is much much better than what paramount has to offer. Nice large pieces of chicken and unlimited sauce to go with it. Service was almost good. Servers were able to provide good suggestions. But seemed like they don't know how to handle a medium sized group. We went as a group of 10 people and we only were provided 1 jug of water rather than one on each end of the table. And only one pair of the sauce bottles. It should be one pair each end of the table. The waiters never came to ask if we needed anything else either. I would have given it 4 maybe 5 stars if the service was better. read more

My favourite restaurant in Oakville. Best middle eastern food. I love the "lunch in Beirut". Don't forget to ask for extra garlic sauce, it's absolutely delicious read more

Really good food and amazing service Will surely come back again And big portions!! And yummy!! :) read more

Wonderful place. Lots of food, seasoned well... we had leftovers to take home. Some of the items at our table included the fried cauliflower, assortment of dips and beef shwarma. I meant to take photos but I just couldn't wait to dive right into the food! We'll definitely be back. read more

Maro's - Here Comes The Bride (Fish) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

I usually like most items I try on the menu here; especially the vegan options although I can't say the same for beef shawarma. The chunks were too thick and the meat was far from tender. It was a little too chewy. The hummus underneath was to die for. The traditional tea had a very strong chlorine smell, it would have been way more delicious if they have used filtered water. The place is packed during lunch hours, the service is usually quick and efficient. The portions are enormous so they are easily shareable between two people. read more

The food was amazing.the service was amazing. The staff was great to and so nice. I love the drinks We're good as well. So keep it up maro's read more

Now THIS is middle eastern food. Absolutely AMAZING. From the decor, to our server and of course the food, it was one of the best dishes I've ever had. The food was delicious, FRESH, and filled with flavours. I ordered "Lunch in Beirut" and I have leftovers that I cant wait to eat today, lol. Can't wait to bring back my family to try it. Def. a go to spot! Enjoy! read more

Update: Maro's back! I had recently posted some of the issues with the restaurant and hoped the management paid attention to them. Indeed, they did. I am happy to update my review and say that the eclectic and delicious food Maro's is known for - is back. read more

This place is seriously special. Their shawarma is unbelievably delicious. Same with their fried cauliflower. No doubt 5/5 on taste and experience read more

Periodic visit to Oakville and this is a must visit spot, but, you'll need to be patient to be seated at Maro's because the secret is out. Every seat is filled and patrons are waiting to be seated or to take away. A happy vibe by satisfied diners ordering and eating from a well rounded menu featuring items which are labeled V and GF where appropriate. My favorite is the Dandelion Salad for a lighter choice and when I'd like s bit more, I'm enjoying the "Lunch in Beirut" which is sauteed onion, peppers with marinated beef or chicken served on a bed of homemade hummus and a beet salad. I omit the pita, everything else is GF. Oh, and there is the Persian spiced tea service which is a must for all of you tea drinkers out there. Arromatic and tasty, brewed in a Samovar which is fantastic. read more

Firstly the sea bass is not sea bass it is Bassa fish so you need to be honest on your menu. Our water was not refilled and it seemed like it was a huge inconvenience to explain to me what was on the menu. Waiter definately not helpful or friendly. Having said that, the meal was tasty and the portions large. Would I return....no. read more

Maro's is my favourite middle eastern restaurant! It's definitely the best place in Oakville to get authentic middle eastern food with a twist. Maro is an extremely talented restauranteur. His restaurant has a great vibe, located in trendy Kerr St. Village. The entire menu is great but my personal recommendations are: the Maro Special, the homemade hummus, and Lunch in Beirut! Treat yourself to a meal at Maro's you won't regret it! read more

It looks fun and the menu is great. The look is very impressive. I find that they must be catering to a young crowd so the music is too loud. I am in my late 40s. I spoke to management that day, he seemed to understand. Table staff a little too loose/inexperienced to match the restaurant they present yet people go. One experience plus three attempts there after. read more

Pros: 1. server seemed kind and made sure my food allergies were respected by the cook. 2. most of the food ordered by people in our group was pretty good Cons: 1. We were 5 people. It took 1 hour for us to get our food at lunch (same for the other people eating lunch there). 2. the restaurant was so loud that we all had headaches by the end 3. my meal was bad tasting and gave me indigestion I definitely don't recommend it, and I will definitely never go there again. read more

I love Maro's portion size, and their food is fresh and delicious. Anything with their cauliflower is definitely worth having! Good place to go if you have gluten allergy or are a vegetarian. Would recommend this restaurant for couples or groups of three; seating is hard to get and it can get quite loud in the space. Takeout is definitely a good alternative if you have a big size group! The service is good, but they are so busy sometimes it can be a bit slow at peak times- but it is worth it. read more

I love Maro's a lot. For the past 3 years, I always get one of two items as take-out. The quality of the dishes have varied, depending on how busy they are and who is working. But its always because they are so incredibly busy, so I don't blame them. read more

How have I never been here before?!?! My boyfriend and I visited Maro's on a Friday night around 6pm. By 6:30 the place was packed! It's a lovely little restaurant with a very home-like feel to it. The food was absolutely delicious. For starters we ordered a variety of dips (hummus, eggplant, tomato etc). For main meal we ordered the chicken croquettes and the Lebanese cevapi. So delicious and the presentation was excellent - very modern and unique. And the portion sizes are HUGE. Definitely no complaints there. The Turkish coffee and baklava that we had for dessert for served in a very traditional Turkish plate set, with plates that came straight from Sarajevo, Bosnia. What a great touch! I would recommend this restaurant to EVERYONE. Will definitely be back. Thank you Maro's! read more

Amazing food. Very creative menu and great staff. My only complaint is shortage of outdoor seating. But the quality and quantity is amazing and can't wait to go there again. read more

Good food, good service. Have the fried cauliflower with hummus as a starter and save room for the baklava! Melts in your mouth, yummy. read more

Please do yourself a favor and listen to the reviews on here! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place with the help of yelp. The menu is well organized into veggie and meat dishes. We noticed that the meat dishes were the same price as a veggie dish so we opted to order 2 meat dishes that contained some veggies on the plate. I love the jug of water with lemon and mint, it's a nice touch and very refreshing. The food is very fresh and the portions are huge. 2 plates is more than enough food for the two of us, and we had dinner for the next night as well with the takeaways. I highly recommend this little restaurant in downtown oakville. read more

Fantastic food, had the chicken shawarma. Beautiful looking restaurant and conveniently located

I went last night for take out. It was one of the best out of the last five times I went. The owner being there I think makes a difference. The food was cooked properly just like the first time I went there three years ago when the restaurant was just renovated and the owner was still standing behind the counter cooking for the customer. I miss this quality. Though it s hard to keep consistent but I do hope this place will try. It's hard when the food is disappointing especially when you know there is such potential to do better. Yesterday - much better. My cauliflower was lightly fried. The burrito bowl was presented well. Five stars - but I hope they can maintain this next time we visit. read more

Its very delicious food and service great I recommend this restaurant best in town congrats

Nothing special about this restaurant. Food is good not too bad. Nice atmosphere Service is good. I ordered burrito bowls with falafel and I paid 20$ for this bowl. read more

First of all, if you're looking to have a glass of wine or a beer with your hummus or moutabal - this is not the place for you. No license. However, this restaurant has a great vibe (think trendy café on steroids), so alcohol is not necessary. If you're a tea lover (not I...as I hear all of my English ancestors turning over in their graves) you should probably try it as I was told it was delicious and it comes with little saffron infused sugar lumps. I was so hungry I was actually tempted to just dive into those - but I resisted and saved my hunger for the "fried cauliflower" specialty. I want to say it was called "Bella and the Beast". Having lived in the Middle East for about 12 years, I'm a big fan of the food. Maro's definitely doesn't disappoint here with delicious hummus, sweet and spicy couscous, and the large head of fried cauliflower (the dish also came with pickled beets and a dry coleslaw type dish). The star of the show was actually the hummus, even though the cauliflower was delicious, and I could have eaten a bucket load of the stuff with the authentic Arabic bread. So why only 4 stars? I found everything on the dry side. The cauliflower was a little underseasoned, but came with a delicious sour sauce...I just needed more of the sauce (albeit I could have probably asked for more). A friend ordered the tandoori chicken, which had the most amazing flavour, but was just a touch dry. Overall this is a fantastic Middle Eastern restaurant and is great for vegans, GF, vegetarians and meat lovers alike. I will definitely be back to sample some of the other Arabian delights! read more

Just visited Maro's today for lunch and it was incredible! The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere and decor was really cute and of course the food was phenomenal. I had the "Bella and the Beast" bowl (vegan) which was the perfect amount of food and an awesome value - it came with the best cauliflower I've ever tasted. They had plenty of vegan and gluten free options which is amazing since other restaurants usually only offer 1 vegetarian dish or none at all. Will definitely be visiting Maro's again to try more of the dishes! So glad we stumbled upon this place :) read more

Flavourful and great dining overall. One of the best restaurants in Oakville imho. Vegan food is great. And love the decor too!

Food was amazing BUT service was disappointing. We were rushed to get out because they wanted to seat customers who were waiting. First, we wanted to order several dishes and was advised that we were only allowed to order two and that it was too much food for us. Second, they placed to-go containers at our table BEFORE we were even done and asked for it. Felt more like a money grab then anything. Too bad because we were really looking forward to the food. For the price we paid I would have loved to not have been rushed off and also, wished I had gotten the second glass of wine that I did not get and was charged for. Would not recommend read more

Great experience! Not from the area and did a little research to find this place. Very cute and quaint inside, cool view into the kitchen, great wait staff. Inside got a little tight as people started to fill in but no problem. We ordered 4 plates for 5 people and it was more than enough. Took home about 3 boxes of food. Definitely get the fried cauliflower OMG. Food was absolutely delicious! Good pita and hummus. Will definitely come back next time we're in the area. read more

Quite good and several vegetarian options. Bella and the beast , featuring baked cauliflower,is a crowd pleaser. Nice summer outdoor space on kerr street. read more

Super tasty food and very attentive service. Excellent selection of vegan and vegetarian options. read more

Excellent Mediterranean place! Amazing presentation. Awesome coffee! Worth the drive off the QEW!

Incredible fish here comes the bride is delicious and super kind owners this spot is a staple!

Great place, only reason why I only put 3 stars is because the chicken burrito from the 2016-2017 days were BOMB and were sad to see it go after all these years! Please bring it back! Sincerely - your loving 2017 STA graduates !! read more

AWESOME! I am from out of town and love Schwarma! This place has a great atmosphere and the staff was very nice. I ordered chicken Schwarma take out....you won't be hungry, they give you plenty. Seasoned to perfection and they gave me a great hot sauce and plenty of pitas read more
