Maroosh in Oude Stad

If you are exploring the city and need a break, this is the place to do it. Lovely part of the city, super friendly people and just all around great food. We will come back!

Every time we go on a city trip, we look for a Lebanese restaurant. We've already eaten Lebanese in Brussels, Berlin, and Malaga ;-) Now in Haarlem, and it was delicious! We had lunch here; they offered a four-course menu, along with falafel and homemade lemonade. Really delicious, fresh, and pure flavors. The service was very friendly. Seating is limited, but we managed to snag a nice spot on the bench in front. Maroosh is worth the detour!

Very tasty food with very kind people serving.

This is my family’s favorite food place in Haarlem. It is quite small, it has two little table inside and two or three more outside. However, the food dishes are delicious, with chicken and beef choices, vegetables, rice, stuffed peppers and aubergine, amongst others. You can normally get a small plate with 4 choices, or the big plate with 6 choices. The big plate is quite generous, while the small plate suffices for a child. We really enjoyed the watermelon home lemonade they served us and the saffron tea with ginger and rose buds. The staff were really friendly and they sat us at the tables inside and offered us some rose buds when we left to have for tea at home. While the place is normally for take away, if you find one of the tables free is nice to eat in as well

Very good and diverse food, friendly staff, it felt like home. There are multiple dishes available and you have the choice between 4 or 6 food, they mix it in one plate and you can eat in or take away

So tasty! I’m left craving to go back!

Amazing, freshly made food in really nice place in Haarlem. Be on time to avoid q’s. Come in open minded and let them decide on what to take..:-)

If you want to eat healthy and incredibly tasty, this is the place to be, because there is a top chef in the kitchen who does wonders with herbs. Even as a vegetarian, you will be very happy here. Compliments!

Delicious food and a super sweet owner

Tasty food, amazing experience, highly recommended!

Great little restaurant with delicious, fresh food and very friendly people! Thank you very much

Oh my my my. I give this cozy spot 5 stars without a doubt. For the friendliness of the owner and for thinking along about food/drink because the mezzes I wanted were gone, for the deliciousness of the food and the tasty drinks (homemade ice tea & saffron/ginger tea) and for their son who helped so much! Salesman in the making. There are a few places to sit and I saw that many customers also come for take away. The owner had made a plate with different mezzes so that we could taste everything. And wow, that falafel...totally different than what you often get served elsewhere. A thin super crispy layer around it. Delicious. Not in the photo: Lebanese bread and the ginger saffron tea. Chicken tastefully seasoned (and well heated... sometimes you get lukewarm chicken that you have to send back), vine leaves surprisingly tasty and actually the rest of the mezzes too. You felt that this food was not filling but nourishing. For the rest of the day, all the tasty snacks or ice cream that tempt you along the way were no longer interesting 😅😅. Sukran for the great service 🙏 we will come back!

I came here for some rice (I already had meat myself). I left with 2 black containers that, when weighed with the container and rice, had a total weight of 750 grams. In other words, about 600 grams of rice, briyani, filled with a single almond. What did I pay? 30€! I thought it was a mistake, but no, it was right. I then said that rice was €2 per kg raw. And it absorbs 2x its own weight in water, so the cost was less than €1, to which she very cleverly replied "no, our rice is €4/kg", of course this didn't make it much more logical. At Mabrouk next door you can get 3 whole roasted chickens for the same amount, really very sad.

Delicious fresh food and most friendly and attentive owners. Highly recommended

AMAZING middle eastern food that you can see and taste that is made with love. We came here for the first time when we were under the weather and wanted comforting and nutritious food, which is exactly what we good. Ever since we came two more times, each time getting more dolmas (they are the best). There are a lot of vegan options which is great, and just in general a terrific place, the hummus is very good, the falafel and pita is super tasty, the lentil soup I can eat a full pot of!

The food is incredible, best tabbouleh I've ever had. So friendly and kind - A true pearl of a place - If I could I'd give it 10 out of 5

One of those places where you keep coming back. Food is fresh & delicious and the owners are very friendly. Every single dish is worth trying. Great job!

Quite possibly one of the most welcoming and warmest restaurants ever. Incredible food and service. Don’t think twice. Just go.

Amazing small place with super delicious food. I can fully recommend this.

Authentic, high quality and delicious. An explosion of beautiful Middle Eastern flavors. The dolma and stuffed peppers are great, and the harira soup is excellent. Handy prices for the combination. This could definitely become one of my favorite lunch spots. Authentic, high quality, and delicious. A burst of beautiful Middle Eastern flavors. The dolma and stuffed bell pepper are amazing, and the harira soup is outstanding. Convenient prices for the combo. This might definitely become one of my favorite lunch spots.

My favourite was lamb kofta but each dish was flavourful. Wish I could have more before leaving Haarlem

hearty and flavorful food (love the chicken, love the lentil soup), cute shop, warmest owner. i wish the tables were a bit taller so that it's easier to eat but they have their own charm!

Food is delicious and the owner is an angel.

Here, Middle Eastern cuisine is served in its purest form. Delicious! Every day you can choose from a varied range of fragrant dishes. Also vegetarian. You can eat it on the spot, but most guests take the food home. Don't be surprised when they are 'sold out' because I'm not the only one who likes to get something from Maroosh. Highly recommended!

Opening hours until 5:30 p.m. already closed at 5:03 p.m. thanks for nothing...

In love with this place, its food and its attention. Many people took the food to go, but we ate there with 2 and 4 year old children and what can I say, it couldn't be better. When you travel and find a place like this, the trip improves a lot.

I can’t believe I live in Haarlem for years and never been there before. The best babaganoush I’ve ever had, super friendly people and a lot of very good vegetarian options.

Regular (almost) weekly stop at Maroosh. The food is delicious and the service exceptionally good and friendly. Many vegan options available. Even though it's busy, there's always time for a quick chat! Recommended!! And tip: come early, maroosh sells out quickly!

Great food and Atmosphere!! Extremely tasty!!

Loved the food and she owner lady was super friendly ! You can pick what you want to add to your box, tried 5 selected box menu and all was very tasty. Salad was decent too 💕 Note: Very limited space to eat in, only 2 tiny tables for max 5ppl

I don't often eat Middle Eastern food, so just ordered a random selection - everything I got was delicious, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended

🥰 ❤ everything is delicious and made with love

ive never been there i just like the name🤪

Hele authentieke Arabische sfeer. De service is geweldig snel en aardig en het eten is geweldig ik heb een large box genomen en ik vond dat ik veel kwaliteit en kwantiteit terug kreeg.De beste zaak in heel Haarlem!!!!

مثالي، الله يرزقكم من واسع فضلة

Delicious, colorful, and authentic middle eastern restaurant served with a smile and made with lots of love. Definitely one of the gems of Haarlem! A must!

Amazing food and very good prices. There is a variety of choices and we loved every part of it. Great job👏🏻👏🏻

Geweldig!! Nog nooit zo lekker gegeten verser dan vers !!

Sympathieke plek voor een lekkere muntthee (met heerlijke dadelkoek). Enthousiast personeel.

Vandaag (te laat) terecht gekomen bij Maroosh. Het meeste eten was helaas op. We hebben nog een paar laatste dingen meegenomen. Dit was HEERLIJK. We komen hier zeker nog terug!

Haarlem heeft een goed eetadres erbij. Blij mee! Heerlijke verse gerechten en voortreffelijk van smaak. En ook fijn dat je zo vriendelijk wordt geholpen.

Wat een ontdekking! Heerlijk maar dan ook echt heerlijk broodje falafel gegeten! Jammer dat ze geen bezorg service hebben en niet altijd open zijn maar aan de andere kant houdt dat het ook wel weer speciaal :) ga er snel weer heen!

Food was absolutely delicious, staff super friendly, recommend 10/5

Superleckeres Essen, jede Komponente hervorragend gut. Dazu absolut freundliche Bedienung - Empfehlung!

Onwijs gastvrij en heerlijk eten!!

Zulke vriendelijke mensen en fantastisch eten!!

De kwaliteit is goed en de smaken zijn lekker, maar ik vind de prijs te hoog. Voor 1 persoon pilaf, limabonen en gewone boontjes voor 13euro vind ik persoonlijk te duur. Afhalen. Vegetarisch, geen vlees of vis. De portie was daarbij niet groot. Geen herhaling voor mij helaas

It's a very small but very friendly place. For 3 or 4 people to sit down and grab something to eat it's very appropriate. The food has amazing flavours, the owners are very friendly and warm. We enjoy the vibe and food.

Heerlijk kleine deli met lekkere verse producten geserveerd met een vriendelijke glimlach!

Amazing place! I always stop by when I'm in Haarlem, amazing food for the right price, friendly staff, and the atmosphere is amazing! The only downside is the small eating area on the inside, but during a sunny day it's perfect to eat on the benches they have in the front! Absolutely recommended I love you maroosh family ❤️

An amazing restaurant serving fresh, delicious, high-quality Iraqi/Mediterranean food. Very friendly host and hostess too. I'm so happy they are in Haarlem!

Het is iedere keer weer een feestje om de heerlijke gerechten van Maroosh te kunnen proeven. Super vriendelijke dame en kok ook! Tot snel weer. Grts, Gwen

Vandaag voor het eerst bij Maroosh gegeten. Wat een fantastische smaakervaring! Ik en een vriendin hebben ons laten verrassen met een overheerlijk plateau van allerlei hapjes uit het mooie Midden-Oosten. De warmte en vriendelijkheid die de eigenaren uitstralen is waardevol. Super service, mooie winkel en goede producten. Ik zal er vaker gaan eten of afhalen.

This amazing woman made such a highlight of my trip to Haarlem! Not only was the food SPECTACULAR but the energy of being in her presence is such a good vibe. Surely a place to visit and come back to!

Not bad but come one 4.9 what are Dutch people eating daily to give this 4.9???? way overpriced and no real maroccan tea 🍵, had much better maroccan food sorry but very very nice and kind people

hier komen we graag. Heerlijk en wat een leuke gastvrouw en -heren

Excellent restaurant, cuisine syrienne parfaitement maîtrisée , cuisine très raffinée et fine

Food was amazing and the staff was so friendly and helpful

Very friendly place with delicious food, highly recommended 🙌🏻

The owners are so nice, food is delicious, I mean I am Turkish so I know and I can compare 🙈 just felt like home , thank you 🙏🏻 keep up the good energy and amazing food! Btw they have vegan options which is a plus for me 😊

This is one of the best middle eastern cuisines I ever tried in my life as an Arab expat who lived in many different continents and countries and worked within the hotel and restaurant l business for more than 11 years of my life from kitchen to service across the world. I could confidently say this place is phenomenal. Genuine owner, incredible staff, great service. Great location. A gem has been discovered in Haarlem. I wish you more success always. And thank you for bringing back to my senses the taste of ny grandma’s soul food. Your dedicated customer, Nader.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch. Chose the small meal, where I had lunch and chose the kofte, veggies and chickpeas. It was all very tasty. Add the yoghurt and it adds to the taste as well. Great spot for lunch or takeaway.

Best middle eastern food I ever had! The place is very clean with an open kitchen. The owner is very friendly as the staff. We choose a selection of cold and warm dishes and they were all excellent. We will come back for sure!
