Markook Authentic Mediterranean Eats

Good food, but man in the kitchen is rude. Warning, they put pita chips on salads. I ordered a salad for pickup and they placed pita chips on the salad. Owner tried to argue with my husband and said that we didn’t list no pita on order. Of course we did. I have not been back in years due to the ownership.

The service here was so rude that I don't really care how good the food might be. I arrived at 12:50. The gentleman was very busy behind the counter with wraps and other dishes, so I waited patiently to ask him about gluten free options. He brusquely told me to order. I was still trying to figure out what was gluten free. They have french fries and I asked if they were GF and he said, yes. I asked if there is anything else fried with them and he said, " I wouldn't serve them to you if they weren't GF". Obviously having no clue that we get told this stuff all of the time only to find out later they are wrong. He kept sighing at me because I wasn't fast enough I guess, I think I was there for 2 minutes total. He kept asking me to order as he was walking around making other dishes. Then when I finally did order he left came back and then asked my order again. I had hoped for some patience. As I was standing there, he informed the next couple that they would be closing the dining room at 1p (in 5 minutes at this time), and there is no sign stating this. but never mentioned it to me. I asked the other lady if I would be able to eat in and she said," didn't you just hear him?". There may have been a language barrier, but they were so brusque and rude. The food was good, just not sure if I will be back.

They don’t have any GF marked on menu but if you ask they are knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Almost everything is GF except the pita and tabouleh salad. The Fattoush salad has pita chips but if you ask they will prepare yours in a separate bowl without them. Yummy food, super friendly owner and staff.
