“We had an amazing meal at Papa Marco’s Kabobs, and everything about the experience was outstanding. We ordered the beef and lamb shawarma plate, which came with rice and warm pita bread, and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was flavorful, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly.
The sides really elevated the meal. The hummus was smooth and rich, the baba ghanoush had great depth and smokiness, and the toum garlic sauce was incredible—bold, creamy, and addictive. Everything worked beautifully together and felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
As a wonderful surprise, we were also treated to complimentary baklava for dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish to an already excellent meal. That extra touch of hospitality really stood out.
Fantastic food, generous portions, and genuinely warm service. Papa Marco’s Kabobs is a place we’ll absolutely be returning to. Highly recommended.“

“Tasty food and this guy is so nice!! The soup is so so good. And the Jerusalem salad. Love the canned juices in the cooler! Huge cans of 100% juice in flavors we can't get elsewhere like passion fruit & watermelon. Generous portions, casual atmosphere. Appreciate the padding on the chairs. It's a relaxing place to eat. My family says the food is "amazing" "pita and hummus and shawarma are quite good.". We'll be back.“

“Nov 30, 2025
I had their harissa chicken bowl with a skewer of salmon kabob on a side. It was alright, nothing extraordinary.
$19,48 - including tax. They are kinda stingy on protein, that amount of chicken was for kids size meal. That’s why I had to add salmon ($4 for 2 tinny pieces of salmon).“

“I've not been in person and I will be one day...but I order a lot off Grubhub...if you're looking for a good deal and even better flavor its here! I always get the mega breakfast combo 3 eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, ham...and either toast or pancakes (always the pancakes!) for $14. If I had any complaint it would be I want more syrup cause the pancakes here are dense (which isn't bad...who doesn't like thicc pancakes)...so they like to soak all the syrupy goodness up, also...if I had an option to add cheese to my scrambled eggs...that are already perfectly made. Customer for life here! Seriously who needs Walker Bros when there's Coco's Cafe?“
