I was always too busy to stop by and dine in before my retirement. I decided to take the family to Marrakesh this weekend and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of their food. Everything that we ordered was well prepared, plated nicely, and a joy to consume; I wished that I would have made the time before now! Service was a tad slow but that is to be expected when the lunch rush is over and dinner is yet to be served! Or serve was pleasant and despite having to look after 10 other tables made every effort on our behalf! The restaurant had a bar which would be great to begin with a date night, and the establishment is decorated elegantly with Mediterranean works of art and lighting. Dessert was baklava and it was epically splendid! I will definitely be adding this restaurant into my families rotation! Don't make my mistake and keep passing it by, drop in and enjoy today, you will not be disappointed if you know Greek and Mediterranean cuisine! read more

Marrakesh - Lamb Kabob - Turkish Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

The food was good but they skimped out on food and almost didn't give me the extra rice I ordered. I ordered the double meat and the portion looked like a kid's meal. The pricing does not reflect the amount of food. I paid $23 for a kid's size portion. Also don't like the automatic 20% gratuity for parties. Service was decent but 20% is assuming the best service and it was not the best! read more

Stopped here on a whim and decided on the lamb platter. I was disappointed with the seasoning as it was bland. I loved the ambiance, Lebanon wine I had, and Baklava. Will visit one more time in case my first visit was my tastebuds. read more

I love this place, they have very very very good food. I have eaten there several times and have never been disappointed. They have great mint tea too. read more

Lovely service and the falafel pita with cucumber salad is phenomenal. Beautiful decor and plenty of space to have a nice meal. Also, you will pay just as much for prepackaged hummus at the grocery store, so support local and grab it as take-out! read more

First time , last time. The waitress was like quasi moto and shuffling her feet back and forth from her bell tower. One of the waitresses spit on my neck when she talked . The food was ok.... My shawarma was drier than a bucket of sand and I had to dump all the sauces on it in order to choke it down my gullet. Drinks were good, meaning the water .... Which was probably tap. read more

Great lunch! The chicken was flavorful and moist. Rice was good and the Fatoush salad was authentic. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. read more

My friend and I are going to different places to try out a diversity of foods in Jville. This place is tasteful, the cost-to- portion ratio is below fair. Service is great and friendly. I would recommend this place to a friend if they are tired of the usual chain sit-down restaurants. read more

It's our anniversary we decided to go to Marrakech. The scenery is really nice. We were seated as soon as we got there We both ordered the 3 meat with lamb shawarma and chicken. It was really good. Portions are pretty small but that's okay because it was big on taste. I left off a star because the drinks were way too expensive for what they were. They were like Ruth Chris steakhouse prices. One was 15 dollars. This ain't New York City lol read more

Absolute fabulous restaurant! Every aspect of this restaurant is perfect. The decor is lovely and the service is excellent. We had a variety of dishes and enjoyed them all. The falafel was great and we were told by our darling waitress that it is made fresh every day. We had a slight issue with our order and the management and our waitress went way beyond our expectations to make it right. This was an all around great experience and we are anxious to go back when we are in the area read more

Seriously good Mediterranean food. The cute grape leaves or dolmas were excellent. The hummus was smooth and creamy like we like it. Oh and you can get gyros all day long and those were very tasty! read more

Dine-in for the second visit. I got the appetizer platter with hummus, grape leaves, goat cheese, falafel, and pita bread. Everything was perfect. For my main meal, I ordered the chicken shawarma platter with red cabbage and rice. I took one look at the plate and the waiter goes, "shatta or tzatziki?" He knew! He brought me both and I smashed the entire plate. I'm really jealous of all you Jacksonvillains for having this establishment in your neighborhood. If you haven't eaten here, you must!! read more

I cant believe this place has such a high rating. Everything had no seasoning, no taste to it. We explained to our server we had never been there before and she was no help with the menu. My mom's chicken looked seasoned, but literally had no taste and was dry. read more

Food is delicious. Service is great! Surroundings are beautiful. Make sure you get their sweet tea, it's to die for.

The vibes were very chill and service was good. It was the first time getting this type of food. I didn't rlly like the salads it was like a unique Cole slaw. The beef swharma was dry in my opinion but the chicken had good flavor and was moist. The lamb I honestly didn't know if it was lamb or beef but it was good. The appetizer platter was a good variety. read more

Clarification point first. I love lamb but not New Zealand! New Zealand lamb has a "gamey " taste in comparison to Australian or US lamb. This restaurant uses New Zealand. Other than that food was good and service was good. read more

OMG amazing! I'm pregnant and super hard to satisfy my taste buds. I could eat something I've always loved and just hate it with this pregnancy. But that's not the case here, I LOVED everything! I'm super happy and can't wait to come back and try other foods they have. Brought home 3 baklava's because that was the original reason I went there and been craving it for a while now. Super satisfied and highly recommend! Amazing service as well! Loved the atmosphere as well! read more

I have become a regular to this place because everything is a 10/10. The quality of the food, service, interior design and cleanliness is perfect. I definitely recommend this place for date night with your significant other. Me and my boyfriend always order the meat lovers platter and share it between us and still get to take some home since it's so much! The dessert cakes are to die for! Perfectly sweet and creamy. The whole vibe is just amazing! read more

Excellent food, service isn't the best. Be prepared to have to ask for things that are supposed to come with the food. If you ever get takeout check your order several times or be prepared to drive back again, have cold food and no apology. read more

Had the chicken Shawarma sandwich and gyro sandwich. Not bad, not great but not bad. They were out of garlic sauce, which was disappointing.

The Turkish salad is excellent (similar to pico de gallo)! Very fresh with a touch of spice! The appetizer sampler platter with hummus, baba ganoush, stuffed grape leaves, and cucumber salad were the best!! The chicken schwarma with lentil rice were perfectly seasoned :) The service was pleasant and catered well to our large group! Beautiful decor and lights provided a pleasant dining experience:) will definitely go back! read more

Great food, authentic. Love the cucumber salad and falafel. The pita is not homemade, but is fresh.

It's been almost two years that I've lived here and I'm mad that I didn't have an opportunity to try this place and discover this gem. As soon as you walk in, you're immersed into another world. I absolutely adore the decor, especially in the booths were each one seemed sectioned off but drapes. I was greeted warmly by the hostess and my waiter was very friendly and fun. He's the quintessential southern young boy. I decided on the meat lovers plate for 40$. It stated they're full portions of each of the meats on the menu. Sounds good enough for my hubs and 9 year old daughters. Our meal began with a mint julep-refreshing, sweet, maybe a hair too sweet. Salads came first. You get two salad choices with your meat lovers plate. We tried tahini and cucumber. Neither one was appealing to us. I just don't think it's our thing. When our meat lovers plate came out, I was a bit surprised to see how small it was. Hubs naturally assumed that was all for him. The picture in the menu was a bit deceiving. However, just about everything on the plate was very tasty! I'm still glad we ordered this so we could nibble on all their items and pick our favorite for the following visits. I'll definitely order their salmon and chicken next time. Not sure how they lightly charred their meats yet it was still tender and moist inside. Sooooooo tasty! They really hit the mark on flavor! The highlight of the meal was the baklava! Still daydreaming about the flaky layers and nuts. They were not skimpy here :). The waitress suggested eating it with your fingers even though they serve it with a fork. She was kind enough to bring a cup of water to wash out fingers. Will definitely come back for lunch with their prices are much more reasonable. Gotta get my baklava cravings satisfied again !! read more

So we haven't been to this restaurant in about 6 years . The food remains as good today as it did when it first opened. This was a must have during our holiday weekend travel! The appetizer of hummus with fresh pita was lick the plate yummy! The Friday special of filet mignon stew was flavorful from beginning to end. The lamb chops, done medium was a WOW for me. The chops were tender and so well seasoned. We had Ali as our server, her timing was always perfect and the energy was so welcoming! Thanks for another great experience! read more

We came in for lunch. The hummus was good. They have the best sweet tea! Pricing is ok, wish the portions were bigger.

Walking inside was my second favorite part of dining here. Smelling what the kitchen had to offer met me at the front door- that primary cherish-able moment. My nostrils were filled with the scent of fresh veggies and their infused herbs. The waiting time was minimal- was literally seated within 20 seconds. Appearance wise- it is very settling to be immersed into the likeness this of middle eastern culture. Ordered the sampler plate which gave an array of options- mine were the hummus, grape leaf wraps, baba ganoush and goat. Pita bread accompanied the awaited appetizer of mine. Initial sight of the dish put me into shock mode because i've never had mediterranean food before and it's also my first time in North Carolina. Big Texas is in the building. Southern-no style, is my flavor. Everything was tasty to me though besides the baba, it just didn't sit right with my tastebuds. All other items were beyond desirable. Their lamb chops are also top notch, nearly competition worthy. Rice was a bit dry, but that didn't compromise the taste. Just let the olives from the greek salad fall into it and nothing matters after that. Delicious cuisine nonetheless. Marrakesh is for certain one place to try. Service was grand as well. read more

Food was good and we had great service. Lunch, I had the 2 meat choice entree, lamb and salmon. Lamb kabobs, tender but some parts grizzly. Salmon was ok and served with flavorful rice. Better protein choice was the chicken tawook served in pita. The chicken had nice seasoning and moist. I would go back to try other menu items. read more

I've had their excellent food at several catered lunches through work and knew they were good. But going in person is even better! Great and fast service. Absolutely delicious food. So much value for the money. And can't beat the ambiance. Really can't wait to go back. read more

Love love this place family owned and ran best salmon ever the baklava is delicious and great service

Great experience and food for the price! I am not sure why I expected the restaurant to be small, but it was not. Service was pretty good from start to finish and all the food came out pretty quickly. Some of the portions are small, but I think the pricing gives that away well enough that it wasn't a surprise. We did not have questions but the table beside us did and the waiter answered all of the questions very knowledgeably! Definitely plan on returning! read more

The atmosphere was great lots of space and ability to have conversations. The staff was great greeted us and acknowledged our kids. The menu was easy to read, great choices as well. The food was excellent if you love Turkish food you will definitely this place. The humus was great, I had salmon kabobs, my wife had lamb chops...the Chai Tea is excellent as well. Looking forward to go back while we are here in town. read more

All of the food was good except for the chicken and rice--chicken was sooo dry and chewy. Service was excellent! The Moroccan decor made for a great atmosphere. read more

Wonderful date night spot! Loved the food selection, atmosphere and our server was amazing! Will be returning!

Stopped in for dinner. Food was great! I order the tabouli salad, Red cabbage salad, and Beef and lamb Shawarma with lentil rice plate. Service was a bit slow (although she was nice and professional) but the quality of the food made up for it. Prices aren't bad for the quality of food you get. I would say they are very typical for this type of establishment. If I was local and not traveling through I'd be a regular for sure! read more

Wow. First time here. Had the hummus for app and it was good. Selected the beef Kalaya with yellow rice. Did not select the jalapenos because didnt know how spicy it would be on its own. Never tried this before but it is awesome. Beef is tender, spice blend was perfect. Eat it with some pita bread. I wished I lived in this area so I could go here often. A very good dish and you cant go wrong with it. Highly recommend this restaurant. Fair prices read more
