My family and I tried Marathon for the first time on Fri evening 20 Nov, and we were hungry. Little did we know the traditional injera flatbread served with the stew is SO filling! Yes, the service is slow, but the wait is worth it, in my opinion. The food is flavourful and intense, whether meat or vegetarian, but thankfully for me, not to the insanely mouth-searing degree as some Thai or East Indian dishes. A downside for first-timers is that eating with your hands might be disconcerting (just as with Moroccan cuisine), but if you're the least bit adventurous, it's an experience worth trying. Just be warned that the sampler platter for two can feed three or even four adults!
