Marouch Restaurant - All Delicious, All the Time

One could order anything on the menu at Marouch with confidence, knowing that it will be delicious.  The Lebanese restaurant is located in a dank, dark strip mall in a sort of scary part of East Hollywood, but it manages to overcome its surroundings.  The owners have done the best they can with the interior space, putting in fountains and fake flora from the Middle East.  It's kind of kitschy, but it works.  If you're lucky, you'll be seated at one of the window tables, which are the more atmospheric in the restaurant, with low-slung couches placed around a hammered tin table.  Vey charming.

There are meze platters available, or you can order a la carte from the appetizer menu that's longer than the entree menu.  Even something as simple as pita is exciting, since it comes hot from the clay oven and is almost as fluffy as naan.  If a dish is listed as the chef's special, order it.  It'll induce the happiest food coma of your life.
