Mary's - New Castle

Mary's is a cozy place that makes you feel like family! My husband and I absolutely ADORE the food and the staff that work there! They make you feel right at home, and the cooking is honestly out of this world! I'm dead serious when I say that I feel that everyone in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio should try Mary's! I absolutely LOVE the staff to death, and the food is truly beyond heavenly !!! My husband and I live in Hermitage, but we make a trip to New Castle JUST for Mary's because it's heaven on Earth ! My favorite dishes there are their kibbee, Dolma(Stuffed grape leaves), tabbouleh, hummus, Syrian bread, their chicken on the rod, their kofta kebab, and all of their sauces. If you have the chance to visit New Castle or are just passing through, Mary's is an absolute MUST ! Absolutely 11/10, some of the bestest food ever !

We waited 30 minutes for our food, and the waitress mentioned they were still waiting for the kids' cheeseburger. I'm pretty sure she forgot to place the order. After that, we waited another 15 minutes just to receive a small cup of hummus, five tiny lamb medallions, one kibbie, and four grape leaves— all for $16. This was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had.

Tried out the restaurant for the first time And was very disappointed by the service. We arrived way before 4 others parties and were seated first. All the parties received their food before us. Then about 25 minutes later we will given the excuse that they were waiting on a cheeseburger! The waitress flat out forgot about us! She never even came back to our table after this excuse was given.

Everything was wonderful; I just feel it could use a bit of modernization.

True Syrian food. I have traveled the world and can honestly say that Mary's is hard to beat.
