First time going here. My husband and I went for dinner. It was a bit busy, but we found a seat right away. The menu items were different from anything I had ever tried before so we asked the waitress for recommendations. She was very helpful and happy to help. I ordered the Siberian Turkey sandwich and my husband ordered... More

Maryanne and I really enjoyed their lunch today. I had the chipotle chicken sandwich. It had chipotle dressing on chicken with avocado bad lettuce. It was tangy! Get there early for a seat or you'll be waiting.

Lunch was excellent. They switched the bread for my sandwich to be gluten free (an herb bread that was excellent) and substituted the cheese to a sheep's cheese we saw in the deli - each had a small upcharge. It was a big sandwich - nice recyclable take home box. Slightly pricey in my mind but delicious. The server was... More

The food here is excellent. Service is usually pretty slow but you just deal with it. The menu is large and unique - everything sounds so yummy. You must try this place if you are ever in Grand Rapids. Desserts are wonderful as well so do not miss out. Can get pretty busy but worth the wait. They also have... More

The place was packed. My wife and I got seated quickly though. Our waiter wasn't very attentive but we received our meal promptly. We both ordered salads and tried the Apple Sweet Potato soup. The soup was hot and filling. Must say the salads is what will bring us back the next time we are in Grand Rapids. Overall a... More

Based on other reviews we chose to come to Marie Catrib's for dinner before seeing the Grand Rapids Women's Chorus (go see them if you get the chance), and so were on a reasonably tight schedule. We were seated promptly, and our server attended to us immediately. The place was packed, and everyone there seemed to be having a great... More

Delicious little jewel of a restaurant serving authentic middle eastern homemade food! Watch them juice the carrots and make the salads while you wait. If you are lucky, you'll see Marie glide by with her latest creation and she'll share a bit to make your time worth it......don't miss this one!

This is easily the best lunch-spot in Grand Rapids. It has middle-eastern, vegetarian, and american cuisine. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Come early though the line gets very long around 1230.

Do yourself a favor, visit Marie's. the food and service is amazing. This is by far our favorite place for breakfast, lunch and supper. If there is a wait, go over to the Deli and try the many cheeses they have to offer. Fantastic!

I went here for the first time last week and it will not be my last. It was wonderful, service was great, water comes in a glass bottle for the take, and portions are generous. I wish they had a sandwich and soup combination for lunch. I wanted to get a soup but it would have been too much food.... More
