Maroush Lebanese Restaurant

A great Lebanese restaurant, beautifully presented. Very good (though not exceptional) food with generous portions; the Traditional Banquet for example will not leave you hungry — it may leave you stuffed though. No bad dishes in there — some good, some very good. Reasonable prices make for a good price-​quality ratio.
Maroush has a deserved good reputation. My only minor gripe is that «fine dining», as the claim they are, they however are not. The service at least on my visit lacked the finesse one would expect from a true fine dining establishment.

Hiding in Eltham is a dining restaurant that many will occasionally drive past, as it’s located on the main street. As first impressions are best, I was blown away.
One thing I love about a place is big portions, it’s great to order different dishes and share, it lets you try more. The entrees here are big enough to share, and to help yourself to seconds. On that note, the lamb shawarma. Ermagosh. There is flavor in every single bite, the lamb was the tastiest. It was evenly distributed with seasoned rice, salad with a lovely dressing, and lamb. I hate those places that skim you on meat, but here, they were so generous! And it was flame grilled, only adding to the taste.
I am looking forward to my next trip already. Our appetizer was the haloumi, and wow! It’s salty and crunchy and perfectly balanced with the salad and Lebanese bread. And yes, we had room for dessert! Turkish delight and baklava. I don’t even need to describe how lovely and perfect this was to end our meal.
They have a wine list, with lots of options, and even have banquet style set courses. It’s like you came to a Lebonese house, large with pretty drapes, and a nice photo opt in the courtyard. They have large glass walls; so when you aren’t taking in their theming, you can look out at the ongoing traffic. They should be green with envy of you; because you are having a deliciously created palate pleasing meal, and they aren’t!
