Editorial Review for Marakesh Cafe and Grill – by James Scott Bankston
In Short
This renovated space is in the 1876 Jacob Larmour block, with lofty windows, hardwood floors and Middle Eastern decor. Soothing, authentic music plays in the background. The lunch menu consists of inexpensive salads, plates, sandwiches and American-style po'boys. The dinner menu includes a variety of appetizers, kabobs and other grilled dishes. Several vegetarian and vegan options are also available. There are five desserts, including bird's nest with pistachios and the ever-popular baklava with walnuts.

How can anyone call this a Restaurant? I complained about the Falafal the waitress told me not to order'em again because that is how Falafel are prepared; when i told her tha i was a North-African and i know what Flafel should be; she responded the cooks were Mexicans and they know Falafel (meanwhile my Mexican wife trying not to V0#%@T).
Pros: None
Cons: where to start

I decided to go have lunch there with two co-workers. Well, I should have known somthing would go wrong because when we walked in the lady cooking the food seemed very overwhelmed by more than a few customers coming in for lunch. It took 30 minutes for my co-workers to get their food, which were the daily specials, but I never go my food, which was a daily special as well. After sitting there for one hour, I went up and told the cashier, who didn't seem very bright, that I would just take a refund and leave since my co-workers already finished eating. The lady who was bringing out the food knew I didn't have my order yet but didn't seem to care. We noticed that other people in the restaurant weren't getting their food either, or their orders were wrong. Don't go there! It's time for them to close the doors permanently.
Pros: Food Ok
Cons: Way too long to get your food. Poor Service. Unattentive employees.
