Marlaina's Mediterranean Kitchen

"Looking for a luxurious Mediterranean dining experience? Marlaina’s is a local favorite. It blends elements of Greek and Persian cooking with warm and satisfying Mesopotamian Stews, and the salads do not disappoint with underrepresented ingredients like pomegranate molasses, sumac, and a chilled salad of white beans with ginger root. It’s also a great spot for a romantic evening or intimate dinner with friends. The menu is thoughtfully created with balanced ingredients that play off each other like musical notes." - Laura LeMoon

"Marlaina’s interior might feel like an overwhelming explosion of colors, textures, and patterns, but that’s all part of the fun of this Mediterranean place. The fluffy pita comes sprinkled with sesame seeds, perfect for tearing and dipping into smoky baba ganoush or anything else from the mezze platter—which is a great prelude to their super-tender roasted lamb shank. Cooked with saffron and served with creamy smashed potatoes, it’s big enough for two people to share." - Nate Watters
