La Marra

Minute rice doesn’t look or taste like basmati rice. No bulgur wheat in the tabbouli. Garlic sauce was old not fresh at all. Sad when you’re expecting good Mediterranean food. Everything is becoming fast food.

I do not recommend the food here. Fries were very greasy and caused stains on my clothes and in my car as well as hurt my stomach from all the oil. The stuffed veggie grape-leaves were in the same box as the hot fries which caused the leaves to be crispy and made the grape leave hot (this is typically served cold). The bread they gave was provided cold and the soups -lentil and the special white bean soup did not have a good flavor. There were no napkins or cutlery provided in my to go order. Pita Cafe may be a better choice.

LOVE this place, I’m a super picky eater and usually don’t have anything positive to say about a lot of food chains. But this place is worth every penny, it tastes amazing and super fresh and healthy. Service is very quick, staff is super friendly, and the food is absolutely phenomenal. Best soup and smoothies and literally everything all around. Very happy and this place never lets me down

I had an unfortunate experience at La Marsa in Oak Park. The hygiene practices were concerning, as the cook/manager, who also appeared to be handling food, was not wearing a hair net or gloves. This is particularly troubling because when I reported finding a hair in my food, the response was dismissive, and a refund was refused. Based on this experience, I advise caution and suggest the establishment needs to improve its sanitary standards.”

Food was good, dined in and service was quick for a party of ten. Unfortunately I was disappointed with what seemed to be an extra charge. Asked before paying was gratuity included and the answer was yes so I didn’t add additional tip. After monthly reconciliation realized charged more than I thought but I didn’t keep the receipt so my loss.
