5* service and food was unbelievable. A beautiful restaurant with wonderfully authentic menu. My only negative was the music choice, Justin Beiber and Taylor Swift on loud was a drawback to the atmosphere and experience. The music was changed towards the end of the evening to traditional and more authentic (and volume was reduced slightly) which was great. Will definitely be back.

I had a lovely dinner at Maramia Cafe. Food was lovely and fresh, the place is warm and cosy, with a great atmosphere. Customer service is another plus. A perfect place either for an intimate meal or a bigger group. So glad I discovered this little gem!

Delicious food and super kind service! It was a sunny day so we sat outside in the terrace. We got labneh, halloumi and sujuk (sausages) as starters with bread and shared a chicken mousakhan as main for two. Everything was really tasty, personally the starters with the bread were spectacular :) and such good value for money! Will definitely go back!
