Lebanese & Armenian cuisine featuring extensive mezze, kebabs, and shawarma
"Open since 1982, Marouch is one of the longest-standing Armenian/Lebanese restaurants in Hollywood and a pillar of the surrounding community. You can certainly come to this family-run institution and find solid plates of shawarma and kabab combination platters, but Marouch’s greatness lies in their mezze. Muhammara (red pepper and pomegranate seed dip), sugok (crispy Armenian sausage), hummus with ful, and perfectly cooked falafel—bring as many people as you can to Marouch, because there are simply too many great things to order." - brant cox, cathy park
"From Glendale to Westwood to all 12 locations of Zankou Chicken, LA is home to a rich Middle Eastern community. However, if your family is in the mood for a classic establishment with a wrap-around bar and stone-painted walls meant to evoke summertime on the Lebanese coast, there’s only one choice: Marouch. When it comes to LA dining, this Lebanese-Armenian restaurant in East Hollywood is certified royalty, known for their incredible mezze plates packed with crispy falafel, hummus for as far as the eye can see, and bright-red muhammara, a tangy dip made with walnuts, bell peppers, and pomegranate molasses. Heads up, serving sizes are huge here, so the bigger the family, the better." - kat hong
"Armenian and Lebanese flavors abound at this classic Little Armenia restaurant filled with mezze and the invigorating aromas of freshly grilled kebabs. Marouch might not have the marketing power of some other LA kebabs spots, or perhaps the party atmosphere of the likes of Raffi’s Place, but its status as an icon is without question. The kebab combination is a good way to try a bit of everything, and if dining with a group, look into the mezze for four or six." - Rebecca Roland
"Open since 1982, Marouch is one of the longest-standing Armenian/Lebanese restaurants in Hollywood and a pillar of the surrounding community. It’s also one of the best places to eat shawarma in the city, but Marouch’s real magic lies in its mezze. Gather as many friends as possible, maybe even invite your neighbor, and order tons because it all stands out there: smoky-sweet muhammara, spicy sugok, and a kiddie pool-sized bowl of hummus overflowing with ful." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren
"Of all the remaining restaurants in Little Armenia, Lebanese Armenian establishment Marouch stands the tallest for its traditional dining room, warm service, and sprawling dining room." - Eater Staff
