We arrived at this place for lunch. we heard about this restaurant from quite a few people. Well, it was very nice. The staff members were extremely nice and we had an excellent feeling. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we shall definitely come back again. Keep it up.

I had Marmar for the first time today and I was so pleased. They had so many vegetarian / vegan options. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was spotless and service was kind.

Really nice Mediterranean place, like a Greek festival! Food was very good. Belly dancers leave some room for improvement. Atmosphere great. Party style! Suggest you only go during nice weather during these days.

Haven't been here in a while since covid started but so glad we came back. First of all you can bring your own alcohol! Two bottles of your favorite wine will do! Our server Fatima was an absolute pleasure and very knowledgeable of all menu items and when asked for a bucket of ice to keep our bottles chilled she gladly obliged. Started with the Toshka and Pumpkin Kibbeh. Both were delicious! Entrees we ordered were MarMar Shrimp (medium rare) sounds crazy but being a seafood lover she explained that Syrian seafood is typically ordered well done. Came out perfectly cooked...The mixed grill was awesome as well! The tahini sauce you should definitely order triple of because it's phenomenal. The beef I would have asked for medium rare but even tho I didn't specify the temperature it was still very good and flavorful! No complaints here at all. Great spot with great food and service and in such an awesome neighborhood for after drinks ;)

Tried out Marmar today and we were really happy with the food and even with the restaurant itself, which was empty (lots of take out traffic) but gave a great vibe for a date spot in the pre-COVID world. Started with Grapeleaves and Lebneh (yogurt dip for toasted pita). Both very fresh, authentic, and we really liked the Lebneh (which we never tried before). For dinner we had mixed grill entre, falafel combo, and grilled chicken entre. My son (a picky foodie) ate the falafel before I could sample (he really enjoyed it), my wife loved her grilled chicken which she wanted to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I really enjoyed the mixed grill which included the grilled chicken (excellent), grilled beef, and kufta, as well as grilled vegetables and a really nice non-standard white rice with pine nuts on it. All of it fresh and authentic (yes, better than an average food truck, probably on par with the high end foodie trucks), i can say with experience. Also note for those that are wary of (or look for) spicey, the food was definitely flavorful but not hot (which could be a plus or minus depending on what you like). Also had the lemonade with mint leaves which was nice and different though extra tart (thats what extra water was for). I will note this place is a bit pricey, especially dinner. I thought well worth it, but you can judge based on your own measures. And yes, we'll be back, though mostly take out until COVID gets under control.

Fun, tasty, and great staff. We had an awesome small party with great food and lots of it. You can taste that everything was made fresh. The ambiance is unbelievable and the garden is a perfect outdoor set up with fresh air and COVID safe. Staff worked hard to ensure every guest was satisfied. The lamb with rice and stuffed grape leaves was unbelievable. I highly reccomend this place.
