Maroush Gardens

We originally booked Christmas dinner for one of the other Maroush restaurants, but we moved to Maroush gardens at the last minute. It did the job well. Food was tasty and plentiful - there was more on the starters than mains for the Christmas menu, but that wasn't a problem. The restaurant was buzzing, but not so loud it caused trouble having a conversation. At just under £60 per head including drinks the Christmas package was good value.

I took some guests for dinner to the restaurant. Since I have been there many times, I just ordered the set menu for everyone. It saves the effort to order for a group and gets everyone to taste everything. As always the food was excellent. The service was impeccable. Nothing to complain. Their selection of wines was small for my guests, but nonetheless they loved what they ordered. I would go there again.

We were here around 8:30pm on a weekday but it was actually rather busy since it was Ramadan and those celebrating could finally eat. We ordered a handful of dishes to start with, and I got some kind of chicken dish as my main. The food was incredibly flavorful and tasty. The falafel tasted slightly different (but still good) than other middle-eastern restaurants I had been in - my friend told me that the Lebanese use different spices than other cultures giving this food a distinct flavor. The service was a bit spotty, the waiters hardly came by our table, and we had to ask them multiple times for things. At the end, my friend actually had to go up to the front to pay the bill since no staff came even close to our table even about 30-45m after we had stopped eating the last course.
