I really enjoyed La Marsa. Fresh baked pita bread came out soon after we sat down that smelled amazing and tasted even better, especially with the GARLIC spread (butter?) that was served with it. I ordered the lentil soup and the lamb shush kabob, which came with a salad. The salad was a very generous portion, and tithe lamb was... More

I was attending the Society for Acupuncture Research symposium at the U of M last month and stopped by here for my very first lunch in Ann Arbor. All that I had was the lamb shawarma sandwich, but it was on a par with the ones I like in Dearborn, MI. So, that's saying a lot if you know the... More

Stopped here for lunch. Service was ok, save that we had to ask for soda refills. Food was ok, about what one would expect from a mom and pop Mediterranean joint, and the portions were generous. However, the food didn't wow me, and it cost a few dollars more than what is typical for the dishes we had. Probably would... More

Ate here tonight with my family. Very pleasant, friendly, casual atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent: he promptly attended our table, anticipated drink refills, offered menu suggestions and explanations. The food came out in timely fashion and was delicious. The salad was generous and well-dressed and my lamb was perfect. The manager came by and asked how everything was. Even the... More

Tried it tonight with family. It was so hot in there, we were uncomfortable. The waiter, our first waiter was surly. Passed hot soup over our granddaughter head, instead of serving from behind. After dinner was served we had a new waiter, not sure what happened there. He was friendly but confused. brought us the wrong bill. The food was... More

We ordered a variety of dishes. I did enjoy the vegetarian falafel and mini pitas with garlic dip, but that's where the good stuff ends. $17 for a tiny roast quail and a huge pile of rice? Really? The chicken shawarma was dry and bland. I had to get up and go ask the waitress for silverware and napkins after... More

La Marsa is the first restaurant I went to when I got Ann Arbor, I was with my wife and a couple of friends. Their food is really nice and I was particularly impressed with the service. They have a variety of Mediterranean Cuisines, one would actually be spoilt for choice. I would definetly go back anytime...

Just as promised in all the reviews - this restaurant did not disappoint! Some of the best vegetarian dishes i have ever had! Wish we had the time to eat here again. We were only visiting with our high school daughter. Want to try some entrees next time!

This is a relatively new restaurant on State Street near the University of Michigan campus. The service and food were excellent. The prices are moderate and the portions extremely generous. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. My husband had perfectly cooked lamb chops and I had koshary, the national dish of Egypt, which consisted of a variety of starches (macaroni, rice,... More
