    The food is amazing and a must try while visiting the happy island. The owners (2 sisters team) confirmed all was halal and were very friendly. We will be sure to come visit them on our next trip and highly recommend them for a halal option in Aruba.

    Wow! What an amazing restaurant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 While on Eagle Beach, we met a local named Sam, who told us about his aunt's restaurant in Noord. We told him we would try it (since our family is Syrian) and are SO HAPPY we did!! I cook Syrian food still, but my grandmother was born and raised in Damascus Syria, and the delicious food at Marhaba took me back to my childhood! The place was clean, very friendly and welcoming. The owner came out to talk to my sister, niece and myself for quite some time. The portions were large and the food was fresh! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in Aruba. They also have live music and a great ambiance. Definitely 10/10. Thanks and we will be back on the next trip!!

    Food and drink were great. Server however did not speak english but this didn’t cause any issues. I visited during dinner time, 7pm, and the place was pretty empty for a Thursday night. Owner mentioned they were setting up a Q&A session with a psychologist which could be the reason why the place was empty. Nevertheless, if you want good Lebanese food this place hits the mark.

    Extremely great customer service upon arrival, very accommodating and suggested recommendations to our party who are visiting from London. The food was amazing and every dish was fresh and delicious. I couldn’t stop eating. Would 100% recommend this place for authentic Lebanese cuisine for affordable prices

    Excellent food and service! The falafel’s were absolutely the best we’ve ever tasted! It was so good after we eat here we wound up ordering takeout a second night! The mint lemonade is DELICIOUS!!! This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants from this visit. Highly recommend!

    I ordered the lamb and chicken shawarma platter and my boyfriend got the beef shawarma. The food was fresh and delicious with lots of flavor. Probably the best meal I’ve had since we’ve been here and the waitress was very nice too. But, we ordered a frappe which we expected to be good but it tasted like just ice mixed with orange juice.

  • 5/5 Juana R. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a cute atmosphere! First time trying Lebanese food and it was amazing!!! The Mint Lemonade was delicious along with all the other food we ordered. Friendly family too!! Would give them 10 stars, if I could.

  • 5/5 Jürgen L. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food! We had the kebab player for two, it is smoke food with hummus, yoghurt and other dips, pita bread, veggies. Lovely. The restaurant is right in the main road going to Noord, also serves desserts and coffee drinks. Parking right out front. Laundry next door, make it a stop while you wait for that to finish. Friendly service, too. Oh, try the mint lemonade!!

  • 5/5 Armando Andres Muci O. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is delicious, the vegan option: Shawarma di Tabbouleh, hummus & falafel with homemade sourcream cream , and this tea to finish

    Came here for dinner during my vacation in Aruba. The service was a bit slow due to multiple patrons but the waitresses were super nice and accommodating. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees. The food took a while to come even the appetizer which came out with the entrees. This was a bit annoying but the food made up for it. Everything was delicious and full of flavor.

  • 5/5 ali ali o. 2 years ago on Google
    We thoroughly enjoyed Marhaba! From the food to the service, it was top notch. I went here with my sister and my three children and everyone enjoyed their selections, from rice bowls to the quirky quesopita to a good ol' omelette, our palates were satisfied! Our server turned out to be the owner; she was so gracious and accommodating we didn't know it till we were leaving. Would definitely go back! The Marhaba tea was a favorite for the children; its light, warm flavor really tickled their fancy.

  • 3/5 Derek M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing, service and time it took to get our food was not great. Being Lebanese, I had really high expectations and heard great things about this place and granted, the food did not disappoint. It was fresh and perfect, but It took our waitress 10 minutes to get us water and we were the only customers there. The food took close to an hour. Overall, come for the food but the service is lacking.

  • 5/5 Verna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food great and reasonably priced. Alcohol way too expensive. Af 15 for 1 Vodka, I can buy a fifth. Outrageous sorry.

  • 5/5 Tyler W. 1 year ago on Google
    If dining in be warned orders will take awhile to prepare, would recommend calling ahead for pickup. That said this was arguably the best dinner I had on the island, the lamb quespitta was phenomenal

  • 1/5 Timon C. 1 year ago on Google
    So disappointing – I love the rich flavours of the Middle East. Lamb Shish kebab - lamb tough as old boots, flavourless and gosh did it take some chewing - I gave up😕 Overall the meal was flavourless. The olives were old - obviously been hanging around for some weeks if not months - they were liquid inside. Utterly unacceptable. $80 for a meal for two. Avoid.

  • 5/5 Ontario W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Shorma falafel platter. We ordered a cappuccino One shorma, tabbouleh salad and French fries $20USD We shared it between two people and we’re both full. It was probably the best thing we ate so far in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Lu F. 11 months ago on Google
    Small restaurant with amazing Lebanese food just off Route 2 in Noord. Indoor and outdoor spaces as well as take-out. Chicken shwarama was amazing! Vegetarian and vegan items including bowls were delicious. Stopped by twice on a recent trip. Lots of smiles all around! Reasonanably priced and credit cards accepted.

  • 5/5 Harmanjeet D. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the best places in aruba !! Amazing and delicious kebabs & hummus the best in aruba and cappuccino was delicious ! Very reasonable price and excellent service . Would highly recommend it . Surprised to find such 5 star restaurant , it’s a hidden treasure in aruba !! The decorum was peaceful and relaxing . Definitely going to go again.

  • 1/5 Matt R. 10 months ago on Google
    Terrible service. They screwed up our order multiple times brining out rice instead of fries and the wrong sauces. We had to remind them several times of our drink orders and to bring us falafel bread and they brought out one of our plates when we were already done eating. A local couple that came in after us was severed before us and was served much more bread than us. We were generally treated as if they didn't want us there.

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and not greasy like so many other restaurants. Takes a little while to get it but it's because it's fresh.

  • 5/5 Lindsey T. 6 months ago on Google
    Incredible food, even as takeout. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Aydogan M. 5 months ago on Google
    I wish I could give this place more stars as five stars isn’t enough for this amazing restaurant. Me and a few friends visited this restaurant as we were all craving Lebanese cuisine and let me tell you that we were so happy that we went. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and also very helpful with talking us through the variety of dishes and recommending some great dishes for us to try. The restaurant also displays beautiful artwork created by the local artists of Aruba which was nice to see. If you’re visiting Aruba you definitely need to give this place a try.

  • 5/5 Troy L. 3 years ago on Google
    As a couple of foodies, we tried the restaurants that were on all the lists. Stopped at Marhaba just because it was close to our rental, and it easily competed for the best meal of the trip! So grateful we stumbled across this gem, best Felafel ever!

    Just returned from an 8 days vacation in Aruba. Being the first time in Aruba and not knowing the place, we made several reservation at different restaurants in order to check out the cuisine. One day while laying on the beach we saw a man walking on the beach saying "Please they my aunt Lebanese restaurant", so the next day we looked it up and tried it. It was wonderful, the restaurant was cleaned, the menu was big, the owner was hospitable and the food was mouthwatering. The only regret I have is not hearing about this place sooner in our trip. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back.

    Excellent food and service. Friendly quaint place. Open whenever I have gone there as well. I will come often. Worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Nayab A. 3 years ago on Google
    We had the following: Babaganoush Lamb Shawarma sandwich Kofta bowl Mint Lemonade The babaganoush was solid, comparable to the ones I've had back in NY. The lamb Shawarma sandwich was more like a panini and stuffed with lamb and onions. The meat was really good and tender but the panini needed some veggies or sauce to bring it over the top. It was really good though! The kofta bowl was great and had a rice base with hummus and some greens topped with kofta. The kofta meat was one of the best kofta I've had! In my opinion, I would've liked some orange sauce available with it. I was Mint lemonade is a must! The service was great, had no complaints.

    This fine young man walked up to me and asked if I would want to visit his aunts Lebanese restaurant and said that it was closed on mondays. This Lebanese restaurant has the most delicious and exotic cuisine I have ever had. The efficiency and warmth of the speech this man gave me was incredible. I knew I had to visit his aunts Lebanese restaurant. From then on my life changed forever.

  • 5/5 Cyril K. 3 years ago on Google
    Can’t say enough good things about this place. The staff is so incredibly friendly like you won’t believe it, the food is so fresh, tasty and authentic. And I’m lebanese myself so very picky about lebanese food. Highly suggest coming here if visiting aruba!

  • 1/5 Anderson F. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is good! But it took them almost 2 hours to deliver it, instead of 45 minutes they had promised in the e-mail - I had to call them to confirm if the order was coming or not. The food was cold and they didn't deliver my special requests (Spicy Hummus and Garlic Sauce). At last, but definetly not least, the order was delivered wrong. It was missing 2 chesse falafels and 1 lahme bajin (I ordered the Bkasafrine). Having saw the other reviews here, maybe it's just their delivery operation that is not good. I won't order again.

  • 5/5 Douglas H. 3 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is fantastic! We ate here twice during our time in Aruba. The owners/servers are so friendly and the food is the best Lebanese we have ever had. We had the vegetarian platter, shwarma, and kabobs. All were expertly prepared.. The hummus was also incredible. The mint lemonade, a house specialty, is over the top good. Go here and enjoy.

👍 Smoky J is a very good option to eat ribs in Aruba. They have many options for customers to choose from. The food is good. I particularly go every once in a while because is very busy. I would suggest scheduling to go early and in small parties to make sure the tables are available faster. Of course...

👍👍 Stunning views from the pier over the clear water of the Caribbean sea. The foods and service were excellent, the seafood dishes we ordered were very tasty, gently dipped and along with some good cocktails we really enjoyed the meal. It's also a great place for a refreshing beer 🍺.
