Kebab ok, pizza ok, service shocking. Our waiter did not speak to us since taking our order. Give it a miss if you want an ounce of good service, the food isn't worth it.

A suggestion from our riad as it was very close & we were jet-lagged. Housed in an old riad, it was very nice inside with intricate plaster pillars, dark woods etc. The food was OK, the service OK & the prices average for this type of restaurant. We were entertained by 3 belly dancers with a DJ spinning tunes. I... More

The restaurant looks nice, but - the service is a nightmare, - you have to wait an incredible amount of time - in Marrakech and in Marocco you'll find for Sure better restaurant for a definitely cheaper price - most of the menu is just average comprared to the other restaurants

Looks like a fancy restaurant when you first walk in and food is highly priced. The food was lovely though, i had the tangier lamb! Although everything goes downwards when belly dancers start. They are so clearly targeting groups of guys and performing so as to get tips tucked into their outfits... Wasnt my cup if tea!!

Our hotel recommended this place and we made the mistake of not checking TripAdvisor. Last time we make both those mistakes. The restaurant is nicely decorated but the food and service are very poor, especially at these prices. Thankfully we opted just to order mains or we would have wasted more money. The tables are poorly designed making it hard... More

Very lovely building, we had some belly dancers to entertain us during the evening - bit awkward gyrating around you whilst you're tucking into your tagine. Food and drink massively expensive. My chicken tagine with almond and honey was disappointing. The sauce was good but the chicken was tough and chewy. Would give a miss. Keep your cash for ten... More

We went to this restaurant on our first night. Very traditional Morroccan food was OK. We stuck to a tagine and a couscous dish. The seats are not particularly comfortable. The tables are quite close together and it was difficult to find somewhere to put your feet due to the design of the tables. Service was slow and rather haphazard!... More

Overall: The architecture, design, music, atmosphere are very good - excellent. The atmosphere is cool, with groovy lounge music, dark but lit with candles, Moroccan lanterns splashing artisan patterns of light here and there. The food is very good. The "happy hour" wine was very poor and the service is not great, but my experience wasnt as bad as some... More

Delicious lighting and great food. Had lamb shoulder for 2 at 380 dirahms. Absolutely deliciously cooked - smart establishment if you fancy a treat in Marrakech - easy to find if you head for the Mellah
