Maroush Park Royal

Authentic Lebanese Flavors with Stellar Service

My latest culinary escapade led me to Park Royal's enigmatic Maroush, a restaurant tucked charmingly amidst industrial units—a place where authenticity meets a hint of whimsical flair. The restaurant is surprisingly cozy, with its shisha area and tantalizing live performances once the sun dips; it makes for a delightful surprise as your shawarma-sexed taste buds dance to the whimsical tune. And let me emphasize: if it's authentic Lebanese mana2ish you're after, this team delivers nothing short of magnificent. Every dish we ordered came with flavours carefully crafted, from the tender chicken livers to the divine fatoush salad.

While the food steals the show, the Maroush experience is brought together superbly by its lively staff. Mohammed's attentive service felt more like a cherished dinner invitation than a typical restaurant gig—which seems to resonate within these walls, fueled by a management team that handles everything from efficient logistics to heartfelt greetings. However, it's worth mentioning that stray attendance issues do occasionally crop up, mainly during peak hours, but it's nothing a tall glass of fresh mint lemonade can't salvage. Patience on those occasions is indeed rewarded with a feast worth Instagramming, beyond just flavor but a whole-hearted affair to speak of until your next glorious visit. — Milo Tastemaker
