Reviews for Marathon in Los Angeles, CA
WOW !!! I?ve driven passed this place a lot and always wanted to try. And one word; WOW! I ordered off postmates today and... decided on marathon as I had a complicated order, and no other restaurant could fulfill it. Dude from the restaurant called me &went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect!!! Such a sweet soul. The food was INSANE! So good! Also random sidenote; My boyfriend has stuffed sinuses but is sensitive to ultra-spice, and the food was just palatable spice level for them &cleared their sinuses entirely!!! THEY STILL NOT SNIFFLING AS I WRITE THIS A FEW HOURS LATER!!! This is the SPOT !! Read more

I went out with my family for some Ethiopian food but the people who work there were very rude and unwelcoming. The waiters... didn?t greet us or smiled at all actually they gave us nasty look. I was as shocked at how they handled their customers. Thefood was terrible too. It was so old and greasy. When the waitress came back to our table again to tell us that other customersare waiting that we should hurry up. We got up and left. I have never saw such a disrespect and nasty behavior like that in mylife. Horrible customer service and disgusting food. Please don?t ever try to go to their restaurant you definitely regret it.Save yourself some time. Read more
Horrible customer service. One of my Ethiopian associates reported that the management of this facility became hostile and... yelled at her because she requested a song from an artist that's from a different ethnicity (Oromo) than the management's. Howcan an establishment be so rude and discriminatory to their own customers especially ones that come from their own country. Howethnocentric! I also was told several times that the staff allegedly can't keep up with the infestations they have totackle. Never will eat there again and 10/10 do not recommend Read more
I witnessed the owners kick out some patrons for requesting a song in a particular Ethiopian language. I don?t know the details... but the owners were being extremely rude to the patrons which were two young girls. The food itself was mediocre. Read more
So so good! The lentils and fish were my favorite with the injera. I would Say it?s a close match to my favorite Ethiopian place... in DC Read more
This is the most overlooked restaurant in Little Ethiopia! My friends and I come to this restaurant on almost a weekly basis and... we love it! It doesn't have the ambiance of the other restaurants but if you just want authentic Ethiopian food this is thespot! The Awaze Tibbs is excellent and so is the Kitfo. In terms of pricing is by far the most reasonably priced out of all therestaurants in the area. My friends and I usually spend around $10 per person here while the restaurant next door will chargeyou $14-17 for similar dishes. Don't be fooled by the the partially defective door and lack of decor, it's an authenticexcellent restaurant! Read more
I had the tsome firfir. It should be called Kar. Kar is Ethiopian word for heart burn. Food was delicious. However, it?s too... oily. Hope the restaurant finds another way to flavor food. Read more
