My new favorite Smyrna spot! The interior is nicely decorated and clean. Always greeted with a smile and a welcome. The food has spot on flavors and reminds me of my trip to Marrakech! Love their mint tea, always hot and delicious. Their eggplant was so full of deliciousness as was their super tender lamb! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the Atlanta area it's truly a hidden gem. The harissa and chicken shawarma platter is absolutely to die for: so savory, so flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. I highly recommend substituting the spicy hummus it takes everything to the next level. And if you have a sweet tooth, don't skip the baklava. Such an incredible spot. Go now! read more

My god parents were in the mood for Mediterranean food because they wanted something light to eat given their recent doctor visit. So I found Marrakech on Yelp. Parking was super easy. It's in a plaza near Belmont villages I believe. I was immediately greeted when I opened the door. I wasn't sure on what to order so I asked for their suggestions and they recommended chicken shawarma, lamb tanjiya, chicken shawarma bowl, and chicken tanjiya. I ordered all four items! The hot sauce was on the side and I also think it came with some sort of bread. Needless to say, I had their lamb tanjiya and it was phenomenal! I wanted to save some for leftovers but I ended up devouring the entire meal! My god parents and sister raved about their meals also! The restaurant is very chill. A nice spot for a quick bite to eat if you're in the area or in the mood for top notch Mediterranean cuisine. So I will be back! read more

Marrakech Express - 4. Lamb Tanjiya - Moroccan Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

I'm glad I finally had a chance to eat here. I dined during lunch but it wasn't too busy. It was clean inside and so was the bathroom. I ate in, and it took about 5-6 minutes for my food to come out. I had the chicken shawarma bowl with green beans. The chicken was seasoned well and wasn't dry. The sauce on top went well with the dish and I enjoyed the pita and hummus. I've never had green beans cooked that way but they were good. I also had a specialty tea, which I can't remember the name but it was good. I hope this gem stays in Smyrna. read more

Marrakech Express - 10. Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Moroccan Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

Fun for the whole family. We loved this place! Even our baby, who enjoyed chewing on her first pita! The service was so nice and helpful, and they let us sample the chickens before ordering so we could decide which one we wanted. The chicken tanjiya had a wonderful fresh lemon flavor, and the chicken shawarma was equally delicious. I loved the variety of veggies and hummus that came with the shawarma bowl. A feast of flavors. The food was ready quickly (it's fast casual), and I was shocked it wasn't packed on a weekend afternoon. We can't wait to go back and try more. I thought it was a good amount of food for the value. read more

Dining at Marrakesh Express was a last minute decision, but I'm very happy I went! The highlight of this visit was the service, we had the owner take our order and prepare the meal and she was excellent. When my girlfriend and I were unsure of what we wanted to eat she immediately offered us samples of a few dishes which were very tasty. She was such a nice person to interact and discuss the menu with and it really made the visit. On top of that the food was also delicious, we had the chicken shawarma plate, falafel sandwich, and baklawa, and all were really tasty. My favorite was the falafel sandwich as it was something I wasn't sure about at first but I really enjoyed. I wish I had heard about Marrakesh sooner and I can't wait to come back! read more

After running errands Saturday morning, stopped by for lunch. I'd read great things about this spot since it took over this location. There was no one inside, a party eating on the patio and one person working. The employee greeted me and advised to give them a few minutes as I looked over the menu. There's a variety of plates, bowls, sandwiches, salads desserts and sides. Mostly vegetarian but they sell chicken and lamb too. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma bowl with everything. While I waited there was a tray of baklava sitting on the display case. I asked if it was coming out or going back in. He never replied but it sat uncovered the entire time. Overall the location is cozy, clean and food was great quality. The flavors weren't that outstanding - more Morrocan than Mediterranean flavor. Some veggies in the bowl seemed overcooked. I'd return to try other things and hope they last in Smyrna! read more

Marrakech Express - Lamb shank - Moroccan Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

We went here before the Braves game last and really enjoyed it! The falafel bowl was flavorful with several vegetarian dishes mixed together. My husband got chicken schwarma bowl and also liked it. The chicken was so tender. We got a spicy hummus appetizer that was very smoky and slightly spicy. We would come back when we're in the area again. Owner and staff were also super nice. read more

When I dine out, I expect basic hygiene standards--like washing hands after handling dirty dishes--especially before touching fresh food or clean plates. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case during my visit to Marrakesh Express. I witnessed staff moving from dirty dishes to food prep without washing their hands. Even when gloves were worn, they were put on with dirty hands, completely defeating the purpose. We waited nearly 55 minutes for our meals, which we later learned was partly due to being severely understaffed. Instead of offering a professional explanation, the manager joked about it, mock-scolding two staff members for "getting pregnant at the same time." I found her remarks about her employees both inappropriate and disrespectful. To make matters worse, the chef's family were treated as VIPs for the night. They received oversized portions and were served ahead of everyone else, while the rest of us waited. Although apologies were made, the favoritism was obvious. When my meal finally arrived, I immediately noticed a long hair--clearly the chef's--laid across my main dish. I pointed it out. The plate was whisked away with an apology, but by then I had lost my appetite. I asked for a refund and left. Overall, it was a deeply unsettling dining experience. I cannot recommend Marrakesh Express due to serious issues with cleanliness and professionalism. There was also a separate incident involving political commentary, which I won't detail here. Simply put, politics should never be part of a restaurant experience. read more

I ordered plate #3 with chicken and my husband ordered plate #4 with lamb. The portions were an excellent size and plates well. My chicken was tasty and seasoned well but the biggest thing I can say about the chicken was it was moist and fell apart easily. It wasn't dry or overcooked and I wanted to finish my entire plate, even though I was very full. My husband's lamb came in a bone but was so fall off the bone, literally, and it was delicious. I would go back for this dish but based on the two dishes I really can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

The lamb shank was truly amazing! Tender and very tasty. The meat fell off the bone and the flavors were amazing. I like to go to a place that makes food I can't make. I make lamb roast but this lamb was so much better than what I have been able to do. The spicy sauce was not hot or over powered, just very flavorful. Alma was so pleasant and has every right to be proud of her restaurant, yet she is humble and kind and knows her food. Service given with a smile and the location feels like a neighborhood place to enjoy. It is a mall restaurant so nothing super fancy as the highlight is the wonderful and flavorful food! read more

It's a cute little restaurant serving Moroccan /middle Eastern food. The place is clean and simply done with nice outside patio. The chicken shawarma was cooked well and delicious. It almost feels like home cooked. I also ordered a vegetarian platter with extra side of harissa. This was great too. The server was friendly and welcoming. read more

Dear Smyrna Family, Marrakech Express is open and excited for our business! Just visited yesterday evening (1/13/26)--and WHAT A FIND!! First, the restaurant is clean as a whistle!! Everything sparkles and there's a cool patio for outdoor dining. weather permitting (See pics). Got to speak with the owner/chef, and SHE IS AMAZING! She has successfully run a catering business for the past 20 years, has a busy restaurant in Midtown, and has blessed Smyrna with her talent for delectable Moroccan/Mediterranean cuisine using her own recipes passed down through her family for generations! We ordered the chicken shawarma bowl, a falafel sandwich, and a side of baba ghanoush. HEAVEN!! The food is melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious with distinctive flavors and ample servings. The bowls give an opportunity to explore a variety delicious "sides" all in one bowl. And the price is totally reasonable for what you get!! Marrakech Express is not just a place to eat--it's a delightful culinary experience you and your friends and family MUST check out!! I have already set another friend gathering to visit again next week!! I'm so glad this place chose SMYRNA!! Let's show Marrakech Express some love!! Check out my pics!! read more

Food is incredible, fresh & full of flavor. Service is helpful, friendly and fast! Love this place.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. There was plenty of seating options inside as well as an outdoor patio. I had the chicken shawarma bowl and my husband had the chicken Taniya. Both dishes were beautifully presented, they were incredibly flavorful and there is enough food for a couple of meals. We will absolutely be coming back! What a wonderful addition to our Smyrna community. Well done! read more

When walking in, you are immediately welcomed by the lovely staff and a very clean establishment. The ambiance is warm, welcoming and an overall great place to dine in and take your time with enjoying the delicious food. I ordered the Falafel sandwich and the Chicken Shawarma bowl. BOTH were extremely flavorful! I could taste every single ingredient in both plates. The sandwich was refreshing, light and filling. The shawarma bowl was BEAUTIFULLY assembled, the chicken was tender, the green beans was my FAVORITE (which I did not expect), the hummus was sooo creamy and perfect with the naan. And if you like hot , GET THE HARISSA ! That Moroccan hot spice is jam packed with goodness. Thank you Marrakech! This is my new Mediterranean go to spot! read more

Great chicken shawarma bowl! The chicken was very moist! The hibiscus and mint teas were great as well!

The food is amazing! Would definitely go back! Service was great. Ambiance was good as well! Good prices! read more

The food is made with abundant love! It's incredible. Everything is homemade, and she goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. The lamb is the best we have had in Atlanta. Highly recommend the chicken shawarma, too! The homemade sauces are the perfect addition. We have quickly become regular customers and have always left happy and satisfied. read more

Super friendly owner that is passionate about making great food. Service was good and the atmosphere was very nice and clean.

Very good food! Both my fiance and I cleared our plates. I got the couscous chicken and vegetable special and she got the chicken tanjiya. I also got the baklava and it was very good. Not too soggy and wet like some places. I would definitely recommend eating here. We will be back for sure. It was pretty busy, so our food took a little while, but it came out piping hot! read more

This restaurant is clean, and it is very nice and inviting to eat here. The food is excellent, even my vegan husband can enjoy a few dishes here that he likes. The staff is super kind and attentive. I dropped my baklava on the way out at the front door and stood there disappointed like a child that just dropped an icecream. Without a second thought I was given another serving of baklava to take home! read more

Wow! Just wow! This set the bar SO high for a 5 star review. The atmosphere was extremely clean, and casual. Fresh flowers at each table! Order at the counter layout. We came in and ordered the Chicken Tanijiya, it was delicious and a great portion. The side salad was so crisp and fresh, dressed generously (but not overly) with ranch. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, yet not overwhelmingly exotic. The rice was delicious as well. She assured us that her falafel was "the best in the world" and it did not disappoint! The falafel sandwich was excellent, the flavors! Wow! Amal, the owner greeted us - she was not only an attentive hostess, but an inspiration. Her kindness was evident through her warm demeanor, but also her pride for her ethnicity and confidence in the quality of her food. She told us she was a small business owner and a new location will be opening in Midtown soon! It didn't feel like I was eating at a restaurant, I was at an old friend's house for dinner. It didn't taste like restaurant quality, it was home quality. I can't wait to come back again and will be recommending this gem to anyone and everyone. read more

Chicken Shawarma is delicious , as always. I frequented this restaurant when they were in Food court in East Atlanta . Owner Amal is always a pleasure . I'm not a fan of spicy food so glad to have a tasty options on the menu. Dinning area is roomy , bright and always clean . A must try . read more

Very inviting interior, good food, and loved the fresh flowers! Very kind workers too. We had a great experience!

If you are in the Smyrna area and like Mediterranean/Moroccan food, this place was AMAZING! It felt like I was eating food from a Moroccan grandmothers kitchen. The owner/lady who cooks it all is super sweet and told us it's mostly her grandmothers recipes. We had the chicken shawarma plate, the tinjaya (lemon) chicken plate, and the falafel bowl. It was all amazing but the shawarma, falafel's, green beans, and the orange/red sauce were my favorites! read more

I picked my 12yo son up from school today and realized how hungry I was. He's my adventurous eater, so I asked him if he wanted to try Marrakech Express with me since I've been meaning to try it since it opened. It was around 4:30pm, not exactly peak hours for dinner, so we were the only ones there. The owner was incredibly helpful and kind. The restaurant was super clean and newly renovated. I ordered the falafel bowl, and my son ordered the chicken shawarma (he's never had Moroccan food before). They were absolutely delicious! My son couldn't stop saying how good the food was. You could tell that everything was authentic and freshly made, and had so much flavor. We topped everything off with the baklava, which may have sent us over the edge as we were pretty stuffed, but it was well worth it! I highly recommend Marrakech Express. That space has had some turnover in the past few years, so let's show our support and keep them around. Definitely a great addition to Smyrna, offering variety that we need! read more
