Maraya At Sabrina’s Restaurant

Not the best, by a long shot…
We came for lunch and there was nobody there at all eating. One woman was there to take orders and then make our food. I feel like the food was reheated from the night before. It was just not good at all. Microwaved rice and Kefta Kabob. The worse part is each plate was $ 17. It was really really bad to get microwaved food for that price. One of my worse restaurant experiences ever.

Excellent made from scratch food with owners who really care about their product. I ate there both nights I was in town and loved both meals! Recommending them to my husband when he is down for his conference next week!

Amazing traditional Mediterranean food. Everything is homemade from fresh ingredients from authentic Lebanese recipes. The babaghanoush is amazing as is the kibbeh. Love the kefta kabobs.
Friendly service. Never busy. I will definitely be back!

The owner is dishonest. I arrived at noon on a Thursday and I was the only customer, which should have alerted me to turn around and leave. However, other Unilocal reviews praised this place so I gave it a try. The owner seated me and provided the dinner menu. I asked for the lunch menu and he didn’t give me one and asked me what I wanted off the lunch menu. An hour before I arrived, I looked at the lunch menu on their website. So, I asked for the chicken shwarma sandwich and fries, which is listed on the online lunch menu as $ 7.99 and $ 1.50, respectively. The sauce on the sandwich (which is really a wrap) was excellent, but the chicken was dry… really dry. I got the bill and the owner charged me $ 9.99 for the sandwich and $ 3 for the fries. When I asked him about the bill, he said that his chicken is organic. I didn’t think it was worth arguing over a few bucks, so I paid my bill and left the building thinking that I will never go back to this place because the owner is dishonest.

The food here was wonderful. I had the chicken shawarma with a bit of hummus inside. Our server was Violette. She was such a sweet woman. I highly recommend this place.

Extremely expensive. I went with my family (6), Around 4pm. The menu was very limited and over priced. Having seen that we order 4 water bottles (plastic zephyrhills), Lipton hot tea, a Coke and we order 4 appetizers. Falafel, grape leaves, kibeh, humus. We didn’t feel comfortable and decided to get the check and leave. When I got the bill, it was $ 80!!! He charge $ 3 for each water bottle! The falafel was $ 7, grape leaves $ 11, kibeh, $ 8, humus, $ 7 and yet it summed to $ 80?! He also gave himself a 35% tip. Please do not go to this place.

This is probably one of the best Mediterranean food we have had. Firstly, we headed there really late because we were only visiting Orlando, hence we finished our day at the theme park and wanted some good food after being famished. They were so warm and served us with so much enthusiasm. The food was delicious, but what I really loved is that it was light, healthy and home cooked. Nothing really gave you the «over eaten» feel like you normally get after eating at any restaurant. I would definitely eat here on my next visit and I recommend this place to any food lover simply because they serve food for their love of feeding people. Wonderful !! P. S: loved the baklava.

Fake reviews alert! No way in the world can this place have good reviews! Horribly overpriced over salted food. If you like to pay a premium for extra salt, dry chicken, poorly made kebabs, no presentation, tiny portions then this is the place for you. I am in shock at how bad this place was compared to the reviews on here. The cherry on top from these guys is they add a $ 13 service charge for no reason whatsoever. I can’t fathom how a place so poor is in business but they must be just preying on tourists I assume.

The food was excellent, but I went at lunchtime and they didn’t have a lunch specific menu, so my partner and i had to split one dinner entrée. I will come back at dinner time.

THE BEST !!!
Very Pleasant People
Food made from scratch
Awsome Service
Freshness of the food… Amazing
BEST MEDITERRANEAN FOOD BY FAR !!!

The food was really really good. The portions were tiny and overpriced, I would normally expect two small skewers of chicken and a scoop of rice to be $ 10 or $ 12, not $ 16, especially when they have plastic glasses and bread plates.
This restaurant feels like it is having an identity crisis — the décor is really nice and the prices would be more acceptable if they improved some of the little touches, like switch to glass glasses and cloth napkins.
They should definitely have a lunch menu with more realistic prices, we were the only customers at 1 pm on a Saturday. The only bad thing was that the iced tea was not fresh.

I am 40 years old and have eaten in many different places and had my share of the good, bad and the ugly. This by far was the best dining experience of my life, not because of any single factor but a combination of good food, a hostess (Violeta) who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We walked in as customers and walked out feeling we had an invitation to a friends place.
It’s little pricey but at the end we didn’t mind at all because of the overall experience. I have tried Mediterranean cuisine in many different places and this was awesome.

The food was absolutely fantastic! If you’re into Mediterranean food this is as authentic as you can get without going to Lebanon yourself.
The owners and (brother/​sister) were more than accommodating and super friendly.
It was a little pricey… an appetizer, one entrée, a tea and the tip was $ 50… but then again, can you really put a price on authentic and made from scratch food?

Overpriced food; ordered the saddest looking kabob plate I’ve ever had. $ 17.00 for a couple skewers of chicken that was a little on the dry side and some fries; where’s the rest of my food? Falafel were decent size and had a nice texture, flavor was a bit on the light side for my tastes; definitely not worth $ 2 a piece though! Place was empty on a Sunday evening, server/​cook was friendly; did feel like it took a while to get my food since I was the only customer at the time. All in all food wasn’t too bad, just too expensive for what it is.

We were at the Florida mall and did a Unilocal search to see what was nearby that had a high rating. This place is great, the baba ganoush was excellent. The brother/​sister that own/​run the restaurant were so friendly. 5 stars.

Excelentes entradas. Realmente, a qualidade do libe, babaganouch, húmus, etc e inigualável.
O ambiente é um pouco escuro, porém limpo e espaçoso. Serviço é bom e o preço justo. Não esqueça de pedir o pão árabe feito na hora. Recomendo.

The best Arabic food I tryied ever in my life!
The service was excellent, and the chef she was amazing and helpful. If you are looking for mediterranean restaurant don’t waste your time it’s here!

It’s a first visit to this restaurant the food too expensive the service very bad and they charge us service charge The bill was hundred dollars for one Mix grill and 4 p. c kibbe and salad with some bread
The sever was old guy with old the women
They work in the kitchen and outside plus they serve beer. .if you want to waste your money go to this restaurant.

This place is the REAL DEAL! You can taste the quality of ingredients/​freshness. The manager (middle name Sabrina) is one of the most wonderful people I have ever come across, she made our lunch dining experience top notch!!! Mahalo :-)
Please REMEBER, you get what you pay for, the food here is cooked to order and only made with the freshest/​finest ingredients so don’t complain about price, it’s totally worth it (if you know what you’re eating). Everything is amazing, my one complaint, we don’t have a place like this in Hawaii.

Update: He has sent me reply go and eat dollar menu at McDonald’s.
For sure this restaurant is not $$, it is at least $$$. The old family are serving there, we were 13^th people and we had to pay 20 percent for tip because we were more than 5 while he asked us to pass all the forks and glasses and menus through the table. My wife and I ordered two tea cups and one Baghlava and we paid 17 dollars! I didn’t like the taste of the tea and I thought it was not fresh. My wife asked for refill and he said OK but we found out from his reaction that he was not pleased and we really felt ashamed in front of our friends due to his behaviour. My friends ordered Keftha but it had not any parsley or Homos in it while it was written in the menu. when we asked him he said it is in the meat itself (I’m not sure if he is right or not so I checked the pictures of Keftha in Unilocal and I saw it had more parsely there so I asked him. He said they asked for more extra parsley!). Felafel was only four pieces and it tastes like green lentile with only one bread. Totally we went there because of the high rate, but the size of their meals are very small and their price are high while it does not have a good quality.

My husband and I drove to Orlando with our two small dogs and arrived well before our check in. Our hotel room was not available yet so we called this restaurant and they advised it was fine to come seat outdoors with the dogs.
We got there shortly after it opened and it was totally empty. However, given such great reviews and the fact that they were so welcoming with the dogs we went for it.
Let me clear, the food was fine — but the prices are insane and the portions are beyond small.
$ 25.99 for one dish — I was expecting a good sizeable meal. No, actually, not at all. In fact it was two tiny chicken skewers, tiny little bits of beef and rice (which in the menu says rice or fries, and no one ever asked us what we wanted. for some reason they didn’t ask us our preference…) and MAYBE a spoonful of «complimentary» tabbouleh as a thank you for the incredibly LONG amount of time we waited for our food to come out. No lie it was at least 30 mins before we got our entrees.
I am sorry. I live in Miami. I have had much better meals for less at nicer restaurants.
I am not happy writing this two star review. The lady who took care of us was incredibly sweet and warm. She was very kind and didn’t mind that one of our dogs was barking at her for the first 5 minutes. She was so nice but the food/​price situation was ridiculous.
I wanted to come back and write her a 5 star review but it I just cannot shake the feeling that we were ripped off — because we totally were.
