"I enjoyed the Moroccan food here, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations. I ordered the couscous tefaya with lamb, and I found the meat portion disappointing. The small amount of lamb mostly consisted of bones and was largely obscured by an excessive layer of overly caramelized, sugary onions. While the flavors were pleasant, I expected larger, tender pieces of lamb to enhance the experience. In my opinion, a single decent-sized piece of lamb would be far superior to multiple small scraps of meat. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I believe there are better options available."

"This restaurant is beautifully furnished with Moroccan traditional interior, very vibrant, warm with a welcoming atmosphere. The traditional Moroccan Tea Lady welcoming you into the restaurant and mixing fresh brew of tea to your liking in a Moroccan taste of spice, a great touch of tradition. The food was unbelievable, I was very impressed with the flavors, the menu was huge and plenty for anyone to choose from. The presentation of the meal and the platings was very carefully arranged with little touches of class, the teas was served in a beautiful Moroccan crystal glass and very thoughtful, and though at first seem expensive after the experience I considered it, value for your money. The staff were very attentive although the communication was a bit hard at first, especially when asked to explain their menu or the types of food and their ingredients.. We had a lovely waitress Majdouline who took very good care of us with great mannerisms and personality with a smile. She was very thoughtful and went the extra mile to please us with suggestions on what to try. We had a beautiful meal and after we were just content to sit there and enjoy our tea and it’s environment. It’s a place that you can just pop in and have a cup of tea or coffee in quite comfort and enjoy the setting. We Shall return with some friends to share the experience again."

"Nice place,with cosy atmosphere that immerses you in the beauty of Morocco. The moment we step inside, we were surrounded by intricate Moroccan decorations and designs that transport you to another world. On the first floor,we got a private table. where we enjoy our meal.Decoration is carefully adorned with Moroccan-inspired elements, setting the perfect ambiance. We enjoyed the couscous, craft with authentic Moroccan flavors, using traditional spices and fresh ingredients to create a feast for our senses. Then, we finished with their Moroccan teas to complement our meal and complete our journey into the rich tapestry of Moroccan culture!"

"The food is good and fresh. This is my second visit. I asked them to reduce the amount of oil in the food because the first time I visited, there was too much oil, and I could really feel it after eating. This time, they did reduce the amount of oil, and the food was good. The couscous tasted nice and was good, but it needed more sauce. Their Moroccan desserts are excellent, and I really liked them."
