I have been saying for years that I consider this the best middle eastern restaurant in the area , including the well known ones in the city. Great specials, food is always top notch carefully prepared extremely tasty. All the way from the turkish coffee through the whole meal and the baklava for dessert. I have never had a time when I didn't thoroughly enjoy my meal. There is a wide selection of food available\nAnd I find this a very authentic place. I also take advantage of the grocery…

Wow. Just wow. Y’all got no business being this good!! Mmhmm. I just went for my first time and ended up with the best gyro plate in town. My girl got the chicken tecka plate, comes with a whole grilled Cornish hen! This place is the real deal, y’all. One love. Good food, good prices, good people. Fun snacks in the grocery store and they got basmati rice sacks. ✌️🙏

I’m gonna share a true local gem with y’all. Don’t blow my spot up and make it where I can’t get in please. Get over to Stella Maris in Arabi! Not only is this authentic Middle Eastern food at crazy good prices.

The food here is absolutely amazing, a true flavor explosion that makes everything delicious. You must try the beef plate, the creamy hummus, the labne, and especially the falafels (seriously, the best I've ever had).

Stella Maris has been recommended to me for a long time and I finally went! I am sad I didn’t come sooner! The food was exceptional with a wide variety. I cant speak highly enough of the mint limeade in particular. It was extremely refreshing and packed with fresh mint. I also have Celiac disease which can make dining out very challenging. However, at Stella Maris the staff was so kind and so respectful. They asked me thoughtful questions about cross contamination and specific ingredients and…
