If you need a side of hug with your comfort food, then waste no time getting to East Hills neighborhood's favorite eatery, Marie Catrib's. Mother and son owners Marie and Fouad greet frequent guests of this neighborhood hangout with generous hugs and welcoming smiles.
The food is entirely handmade on location in their open-air kitchen and features a mix of Americana and Middle Eastern cuisine. A popular staple is the very flavorful seasoned potatoes that seem to come with almost every entree, and if not, are often ordered by guests.
And if one is in a hurry, Marie Catrib's offers counter service where you can grab one of the many varieties of cold salads. If you have a sweet tooth, be sure to grab a brownie and their special hot chocolate that has a hint of spice added to its creamy mixture.
