Caribbean African Grill Rotisserie Snacks & Treats

Review Summary

Overall, Marché le Bled receives praise for excellent service and appetizing dishes such as dibi with atieke and well grilled meat. Ginger juice is described as good, but bottles show grease and hygiene concerns are raised, with requests to improve sanitation. Bottles of ginger juice are filled only to a limited level and this is disappointing given the price. Patrons express that paying fair prices is acceptable but a minimum standard should be met. In summary, the reviews point to strong service and tasty food alongside concerns about hygiene, bottle filling and value that could be improved.View restaurant profile
