My first time trying many of these flavors so I don’t have a massive barometer of how everything should taste, but this meal was exceptionally delicious! Service was great, the restaurant is welcoming, and the food is very flavorful. The menu has more familiar flavors like hummus and shawarma, along with traditional Egyptian foods that are seriously tasty. Tried the Mujaddara and the lamb Koshary, both were such delicious combinations of flavors and textures. The meat was perfectly cooked and every layer of flavor worked well. I know it seems silly, but my side of vegetables was also really solid. Veggie sides often get the least attention at restaurants, I’ve often resigned myself to veggies that leave something to be desired. But they had excellent flavor, char, and freshness here. Imo, a restaurant that puts that much thought into a simple veggie side is one that clearly takes serious pride in their food. The pita with garlic was also excellent! The restaurant is welcoming and comfortable. The lamps are a wonderful touch. They give very generous portions of their dishes so we have plenty of leftovers to continue to enjoy. Really looking forward to trying more of the menu in the future!

La Marsa just opened last week in Coral Springs, just west of 441 on Sample, and it's fantastic. Apparently they are a Mediterranean chain from up north specializing in Egyptian cuisine but fire grilled. The space is not huge but simple and tasteful. There is no wine or alcohol, so instead of soda or tea we dug into some smoothies and blended fruit and vegetable drinks. The Cobra had a bit too much carrot for our taste, but still very good and healthy. The strawberry smoothie was perfect. My brother warned me the the garlic sauce was addicting, and he was right. There was barely anything we ate that didn't have the sauce slathered onto it. I had to ask the very helpful manager what are the ingredients, and I almost wish I didn't know. As a person who abhors jalapeños in most ways I've tried it, I was shocked to find out its just garlic, jalapeños, and lemon juice that balances out the garlic overpowering the palatte and completely canceling out the heat of the jalapeño. It's incredible. The lentil soup was hearty and proper. I am more accustomed to Turkish versions of most dishes, so the grape leaves with meat was interesting considering the sauce was slightly sweet. We were convinced it was cardamom, cinnamon or even nutmeg, but apparently it's just the way they make prepare the cumin. Still, it was excellent. We had the meal for two with lamb chops, kafta, and chicken shish kabob. The lamb chops were unreal. Cooked perfectly, soft, and kissed by the fire grill. They give no separate sauces, so we ordered our third plate of garlic sauce. I'm used to and prefer juicier almost hamburger-like consistency to kafta like in Turkiye and Greece, and I've noticed that Lebanese and Egyptian kitchens prefer a drier recipe. That's a personal preference. The chicken was moist and delicious. The fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the side, it was a treat and among the best ones I've ever had. Rice and pita bread are notably great too. The manager was kind enough to let us try the Oma Ali. It's a French bread pudding with middle eastern spices, pistachio and honey. The inside consistency reminds me of the wavy filo dough found in Turkish borek. It was a little less honey away from being savory instead of sweet, and we had a moment just appreciating how amazing it was. I've never had anything like it.

If you’re only experience with Mediterranean food is Greek, wow, you will be thrilled with La Marsa. We had lunch there yesterday in Coral Springs and it was just fantastic! We were greeted by Youseff, the manage/owner enthusiastically. He stopped by the table several times—-told us the history of its expansion from Michigan, how they looked at space in Boca but struck out—-Boy, Boca Raton did you lose out and Coral Springs just scored big, the photos from the town of La Marsa in Tunisia, etc. Just a lovely host! We even made pita bread and watched them explode in his pizza oven—-little delicious discs of delight served complementary with a garlic lemon spread. Yum. We started with spinach pies and lamb chili——the chili was so flavorful and I’d never had lamb chili! Next up for me was the lamb kabobs and rice pilaf made with rice, vermicelli and slivered almonds. The lamb cut like a filet —-so tender with a great char. The majority came home for my lunch today. My husband loved his chicken shawarma——lighter than mine but delicious. Our server Brenda was super attentive. The decor is beautiful—-I felt like I was in Egypt or Morocco ——marble table tops, unique artwork and very clean. This place is a big winner——it’s def on our monthly or more often go-tos.

Yum! Food, service, and cleanliness was great. It's definitely worth checking out. We had koshary, and shish kafta sandwich for lunch with the lentil soup and lamb chilli and with the fresh bread. Bread pudding for desert. Food was fresh and had that home made taste. Will definitely be coming back.

Welcome to Coral Springs! The service was excellent. Thank you Christian. The servings were a good portion. While you wait for your order you are served the garlic Hommous. It is hard not to eat it all. I ordered the chicken Ghallaba with Greek salad. I was full after the salad. I had redress the large hommous to take home. I can’t wait to go back.

Love the food, quality and price is amazing!! Food is delicious, portions are big :D service outstanding. Definitely we will be back. Great addition to the city 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Absolutely delighted with my experience at the restaurant! The food was exquisite, service top-notch, and the inviting atmosphere added the perfect touch to an overall fantastic dining experience. Brenda was our waitress and she went above and beyond in recommending excellent dishes and delivering the food within a good time. She was very patient as we had a lot of questions. Thank you Brenda, and I highly recommend coming here!

Outstanding Egyptian/Mediterranean restaurant. Delicious food and great service. Ask for Brenda S. We started with the Falafel Plate/very good. Followed by the Hommus with Chicken Shawarma/very good, then the Koshary spicy with beef/excellent, and the David Basha with grilled veggies/very good. Highly recommended.
