In Short
Nestled in a mini-mall on a dark stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard, this neighborhood favorite offers a fun woodsy interior with faux brick arches and a festive crowd. Classic dishes include the charbroiled kafta kebab or the chicken shawarma, barbecued and topped with garlic sauce. Some of the side orders, or meza, are the makanek, tiny Lebanese sausage links stuffed with pine nuts, and baba ghanoush, a garlicky dip of eggplant and lemon juice.

A bit expensive ($48 for two appetizers, one entree, and non-alcoholic drinks), but the food was absolutely delicious! The hommos b-tehiney & falafel (the best I've ever had), the Bastourma (or Armenian salami - tasty), and the beef shawarma were all very, very good. The Jillab was excellent, service was courteous and attentive, and the warm atmosphere was conducive to conversation. This restaurant deserves 5 stars!

The best Lebanese restaurant many years ago in Beirut (it was told to me) was named Maroush. Since then Maroush's all over the world in have sprung up in homage to the original. (There is a change of 11 in London alone) Like Beirut, London, and seemingly everywhere else Marouch seems to be the best Lebanese food in Los Angeles. While it's a little pricey at around $40 a person the meal is an absolute feast. The grilled meats are spectacular, the hummus is great, but above all the simple yet shockingly good fried Halloum is the "must order" on the menu.

Fantastic, FANTASTIC!!!!!! Never been disappointed by this place. Service has been A++ and the service waits on our table hand and foot. My lebanese boss states that this place is the closest thing to his mom's cooking.... and the price is afordable.

Look Good:
Order the meza-for-six appetizer combo, which offers an array of side orders for sharing. There are also combos available for two and four people.
Parking:
This area can get quite dark at night, so if possible, it's best to find a spot in the mall lot.
What to Drink:
A small wine list spotlighting Lebanese wines is available. There's also a corkage fee of $7.95 per bottle.
