    Marrakech Express, located in the We Suki Suki Collective in EAV, has amazing authentic Morrocan food.The chicken and basmati rice is delicious. I have also become a little obsessed with Morrocan mint iced tea since the first time I had it there. Since my original review, I would like to add that the chef has expanded her menu. She now has bowls, stew, side dishes, and plates. She also has vegetarian options, and uses as many authentic and natural ingredients as possible. Sometimes she has a bit of a wait, as she works solo, but it's worth the wait! By far my favorite of the local spots in the global collective at We Suki Suki.

    Best food at Politan Row honestly! Very sweet people, great portion and cheap. They gave us a sample before we ordered and the sample was like a mini snack lol with the chicken and rice and sauce. After trying the food I was set that that’s what I wanted to eat; great great flavors the meat just melts in your mouth! I got the chicken Tanjiya plate, It was all only $11.98 actually think they could probably raise the price because it’s that good I would not mind paying at least $15 for this plate it was that good!

    This place serves absolutely delicious food. I got the chicken shawarma, and it was amazing. They always give you lots of hummus, and serve it with super hot and tasty pita bread. They served it with plenty of rice and sauce, and it came out super fast, even though they were one of the busiest places at Colony Square. I ordered the atay (mint iced tea) as well, and I highly recommend it. Also, the owner & her husband at the counter were super nice! 5/5 stars.

    This place is the best if want to taste Moroccan food. The staff are just great! They make you feel special. The food? Everything was awesome. I highly recommend this place. My kids loved the food! Even my little daughter said “ i am confused! How could I finished all the food?! It is so good😂 it was her first time finishing her meal 👍🏻 So happy to pick it🔥 To find them, go into the Colony square shopping mall and food court. They are all the way to the corner to your right hand side if you are entering from the main entrance of the food court on level 1. Will definitely come again when in Atlanta.

    I ate the vegetarian/ vegan vegetable with rice and the falafel plate. It was ALL AMAZING!! Food was as good as the reviews say it was. Wow and they really are the best falafels ever(and Iam picky). The tea is great and the dessert was great too. The price very very good. She is really such a nice lady, service fast and nice. Will be coming here regularly now. Great place to have a quick very very good lunch.

    Just awesome. Came in for Sushi but immediately changed my mind when I found this stall at the entrance, and after trying their free chicken sampler, I was sold. I had the spicy chicken shawarma with Hummus- just fantastic. What an overall lovely cozy little spot this is, and I felt my money was better spent after talking to the lovely chef and owner Amal. They deserve every business that comes their way. Wishing them all the love and success.

    This place is amazing! The people working here are very kind. The food is a good price and great portion. The hot sauce was delicious. I will definitely need to come back.

    I am not a food court kind of guy and hate formulaic trendy spots. This place breaks the mold. I had an awesome, perfectly cooked and huge lamb shank platter. One woman behind the counter does it all. She was fantastic, kind and friendly even when she was at her busiest. You need to go but be patient as word has gotten out about this place and her line may be longer than others in the food court.

    The lamb tanjiya is fantastic and fairly priced. The spicy hummus is fresh and has a light smoky flavor (perhaps from charred eggplants or red pepper), which I'm surprisingly fond of. Chef Amal is very kind and friendly even when she's super busy :) Will definitely visit again!!

    Super excited to try this spot, as I’m always on the hunt for authentic grub. I had the lamb shank plate (comes with basmati rice, salad, hummus, pita) and it was so delicious and comforting. Their homemade harissa (hot sauce) is spot on. The owners are lovely. This is my new favorite vendor in Politan Row. Glad to have a taste of Morocco in the neighborhood.

    The woman who owns this place is marvelous. I asked boldly, "I've never had Moroccan falafel... Will you stand behind it? Is it good?" She said, "I have the BEST falafel! It is fresh and my hummus is the best too!" She was right. I got the bowl(she recommended), which was FULL of soooo many amazing flavors. I'm telling you... It was amazing. One of the best meals I've had. My sister had both the chicken dishes and was floored. She's not usually down with "exotic foods". Apparently, (surprise-surprise!) her baklava is "the best" also, but it was sold out. I believe her. What an amazing experience.

    Politan Row was kind of a dissapointment until Chef Amal arrived and I for one am very very thankful that she did! I had tried the bowls and the salads - which were all great - but yesterday I went all in for the Lamb Tanjiya (Tangia?) - delicious! The meat was so tender - Chef Amal was absolutely right - no knife required as it fell right off of the bone. I don't think I've had lamb that good, ever, and I cannot wait to try everythign else on the menu.

😠 DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!! Terrible service! The server cannot remember what you ordered…it cannot be that hard to write it down. Friends waited for (Hennessy) drinks…at the same table for an hour and 15min. It took the bartender 3 tries….It took over an hour to get food even with a reservation. YOU CAN...
