La Marra - Oak Park

Great food, everything tasted delicious! I've catered here before and everything was packaged well and all items were good. They offer a rewards program which is nice when you're surprised with a discount on your bill. Definitely give them a try you won't be disappointed!

Soooo good. 5.99 for the chicken shish tawook sandwich is a steal. The pita is amazing and the chicken is grilled perfectly. Garlic sauce is perfect. Also. They are super nice, came looking for me in the parking lot when my sandwich was ready. Wish this place was near where I live and I was sticking around town long enough for dinner! Seriously, this is a lunch steal!

I went on a Tuesday night, and the restaurant was not crowded. The ambiance was nice, though! The place was comfortable. There were sofa booths on the side, which were perfect seating for groups of 3-4 people. The staff was so kind and helpful, but I wish they would fill our water more often.The menu was pretty big, and they had various vegan- and vegetarian-friendly items. We shared fried kibbee and hummus for appetizers. The hummus came with a basket of small, fluffy bread. It's like pita pockets but smaller in size, fluffier, and not as thin. I don't know what these breads are called or if they're just a variation of pita, but these breads are the highlights of our dinner. Best bread ever. The Kibbee was delicious, too! Meaty, crispy, and moist on the inside. I order shawarma beef on Baba Ghanoush. My friends got the shrimp scampy with rice and vegetable ghallaba. Entrees came with either rice or fries and soup or salad. I went for the lentil soup, and I loved it. Usually lentil soup can be very dense, but theirs was not. I think there's some lemon juice that brightens up the soup. The portions were huge, and by the end of my meal, I was beyond stuffed. The shawarma meat was chewy, but it was tasty. The baba ghanoush was a bit too salty. My friends loved their food, but I didn't try theirs. The price was a bit expensive, but the food portion was large indeed. Overall, we had a great experience.

Good as always! I always get Sautéed Chicken with garlic and bread! The mint lemonade is good too

I come here often and love the food ! I spend my last dollar here because it's just that good . Today I got what I usually get but the dressing was oily, the soup tasted stale and the spoon had food on it. I told the waiter I was told that's just how it is . Mind you I asked for lemonade smoothie never got it . I had to ask for silverware, ask multiple times for lemons, and when I spoke to the manager he walked away in the middle of the conversation and didn't care to hear what me or my fiancé had to say. Allowed another customer to yell at us in front of my 1 year old son. and the OWNER said " you can't come back because you guys never tip" I have only dealt with him one other time and even then everything was half done. when I said I spend last there at times the owner said " it's $40 who can't afford a tip " trust ! I won't be back

Distasteful attitudes but decent food. Dine in restaurant with no bathroom for the patrons. Go where you are respected and treated properly.

My boyfriend and I did Doordash from here tonight and everything was delicious. DD was also offering a $5 off $35 coupon.We ordered:-shish tawook sandwich: tasty but I didn't know there was lettuce (I'm not a fan of lettuce in sandwiches).-shish kafta sandwich: my boyfriend said this was great.-Sandwiches were $9.99 on DD which is a bit pricey, but technically they're a combo and then you choose a side, for an additional price - anything from rice (75c) to fries ($1) to mixed veggies ($1.99). I got the veggies and they were charred on the grill and delicious - onions, carrot, cauliflower.-My boyfriend got the baba ghanoush as his side, and for $1.99 you get a fairly large portion -Small fattoush salad, was decent.-Chicken lemon soup, for $3.99 as another side - very tasty, esp. since I haven't had it for a while.-Side of bread and garlic ($4.99) the bread reminded me of La Saj's (Troy) and was homemade. Garlic had a bit of a kick to it and we are wondering if they added jalapeños; it was good, though. You only get about a 4-oz. thing of garlic, FYI - for I think $8.99, you can get a 16-oz. container of garlic though.Overall everything was very tasty here and I liked everything we ordered. We will probably order again at some point or stop by the actual restaurant in Oak Park.

Excellent food! Super fresh and yummy although it is on the pricer side. Then again most mediterranean food is so it is what it is. They provide fast and accurate service and the restaurant itself was pretty empty but very clean!

I love the food and I love that I could make changes with my orderThe guys were nice accommodating and I loved it. Not a lot of traffic and the ambience was nice.

The garlic ghallaba with chicken was excellent, with plenty left over for the next day. Started the meal with lentil soup, which was great too. La Marra is a winner.
