Mafia Bite Maraisburg

Hamburger restaurant

👍👍 Supporting local has always been the end goal. Some times the best food isn't made in the fanciest restaurant and doesn't have to cost a fortune. This is authentic takeaway style and is worth every penny. Burgers get a 10/10 while the Milkshakes are in a league of its own. Keep up the service guy!
