Mary's Restaurant

Lunch was exceptional. Reminded me of my Grandmothers cooking. Grape leaves were so tender, raw kibee was incredible, kibee balls were exceptional. Rice was fantastic and the bread was great. Service was phenomenal and the owners were extremely accommodating. A must for all those that are looking for an amazing Lebanese meal.

All the food I've eaten here has been excellent. I have no complaints about the service. I've always been treated well and food has been prepared very quickly and to our liking.

Went to Mary's in new castle. Literally best meal I've had here. In new castle I mean. It wasn't so-much the ingredients, they just nailed the execution. I got the lamb combo. I don't hate kibee, but I've never liked it. It makes a #### is all I could say for it. This is the fried kibee with bulgur wheat and meat shell, filled with more meat and wheat. Usually bland and overcooked. I like raw kibee, which is usually chopped beef when you eat out in new castle. But that stuff that's deep fried to briquet consistency? Mary's just nailed it. Cooked so the inside was hot and moist, shell wasn't a deep fried rock. Lamb and grape leaves as well. I like Little Damascus more, but this was pretty freaking good. The lamb was perfect. Perfectly medium rare, lightly seasoned, and had that grilled taste. Because it was actually grilled. Wife got lamb on the rod with rice. Delicious fluffy beautifully seasoned rice. And all the usual sides everyone gets at practically every restaurant and bar when you get lamb in new castle. Peppers in oil, hummus, a garlic sauce that will make you everyone's favorite person, and Syrian bread. Did I mention the name of the place is Mary's Restaurant and Bakery? I think. Mary's and Bakery are in the name for sure. They got great Syrian bread. And I don't like Syrian bread. (I'm a riddle wrapped in an enigma) Mary's was already my favorite place in new castle, which is saying something because I like a few places here. But where they beat every other place, and I mean anywhere, is the wait staff. They are always well staffed. And the staff are just great. They really do like their job, and the customers. Conversation, never rushed. Just they just take a genuine interest. Which is good for me because the wife likes to talk while I'm eating. Oh that was a joke, I was kidding. Seriously though. The servers and staff are just nice to be around. From the moment you walk in the door to when you leave. Adding todays pics to a previous review. Yes, I like the place. For a reason. And that reason is food, service, setting (beautiful inside, and pretty cool out as well) and another place that is consistently excellent.

Food is fabulous and very reasonably priced. We a Tiboli/hummus appetizer. We got a Fatoush salad and a lamb dinner with hummus six grape leaves, kibble and hot peppers and oil. Served with bread. It was absolutely delicious. Service was okay.

Wonderful staff and very delicious Middle Eastern food. A favorite for New Castle locals. Great portions! You'll leave very happy. Always a good choice for dinner. Amazing garlic sauce.

New Castle! How lucky are you. Great Mediterranean food here. Baba Ghanough, soft loaf, mini kibee, falafel wrap. Yum! Bright, open feel,not dark like some places. Very good service, and friendly.

I called down to order food and once they notice a black voice it change too you gotta pay before you order, I've been ordering food from there for a long time/years you think they would know there normals at least either by the names and number, this is a small town so it's not like it's Pittsburgh or something smh but I will say the food is good no complains on that from me, my rating is based on the way they handle things.

Food is pretty good, a bit on the salty side for our taste. The dishes were simple and enjoyable, but it lacks a WOW factor. We enjoyed the lamb over rice, chicken over rice, babaganosh, and falafels. Food is really between 3-3.5 stars, but the service pushed it to 4 stars. The wait staff are very welcoming and personable. It was a pleasant dining experience.

Excellent and authentic Middle Eastern food. Love this place and I highly recommend it. Bon appetit .

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff and good service in a nice setting. Definitely recommend
