Great for someone who has never tried Moroccan food before

The 'Prix Fixe' menu makes it easy, but the food lacked a certain spiciness that one who is familiar with North African food becomes accustomed too (read far to sweet).

The harira is excellent. The trio of salads, very nice, the bread was dry, and tasteless. The b'stilla, should be lightly dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. This was buried in it, the filling was bland.

The main courses were excellent, the lamb shank was wonderful, and the chicken couscous very good. Only issue is that they use far too much sugar/honey then called for.

Skip dessert, tradition dictates fruits, not frozen cake from a box!

It was a fun evening.... but the food could have been a bit more authentic

Good a bit pricey

Just ate there and the service was very good, the atmosphere very good, food good and bill a bit big. Would not do the 5 course meal again but would eat al la carte.

feel taken advantage of

I just went to this place with a big group of friends. We were celebrating the birthdays of four friends. The food was good, but the place was stiflingly hot- we had to ask them to turn the heat down. Then after dinner the waiter tells us he is bringing out a "special birthday treat" for those 4. When we get the bill we discover that we have been charged for the cake! What kind of restaurant charges you for cake on your birthday-especially when you didn't ask for it?

All around Fantastic

never had Morrocan food in my life wanted to try, this place was awesome. They pour warm water over your hands at the table before you eat. The Tea was the best I have ever tasted very sweet. The Lamb fell off the bone and was the best lamb I have ever tasted I Highly recommend
