Description: The one and only Thai restaurant in Marrakesh, Narwama keeps the competition at bay through one simple trick ��� being totally unbeatable in every way. Situated in a glorious riad, beautifully decorated in rich, warm colours, painted ceilings and carved doors lend the restaurant an air of ancient history only highlighted by candlelight and large plants and trees. With the owner an ex-radio DJ expect a cool, chilled out atmosphere, especially on Ali Bousfia���s own Music Fusion evenings, with plenty of decadent cocktails on offer. The food, a fusion of Moroccan and Thai with hints of Mediterranean cooking too, appeals to all with plenty of vegetarian options and Moroccan fassie dishes.

A friend and I had a lovely dinner here one of our nights in Marrakech, it is a large beautiful restaurant, very atmospheric and the food was delicious, just a little pricey.

“Amazing Thai Restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 21, 2012

Wow what a discovery!!! This place is beautiful and the food is gorgeous we had a great evening here for my birthday. I agree with other reviews that it is tucked away and not many people will know about it as hard to find. We were recommend and shown to this restaurant by the manager of our Riad. It was not that busy at all but we did not mind as we had a great time, highly recommend.

“A great spot, tucked quietly away behind the Jmaa el Fna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 28, 2012

The only thing that made no sense to us was how few people were in the place - it is tucked away down a small alley just set back from the square, but if you persevere beyond the odd entrance, you are in for a real treat. The restaurant is set in one of the lovlier (and larger) riads that we visited, and has been lavishly decorated. The staff are friendly and attentive, and combined with the excellent food (we stuck to the moroccan dishes), the place had a real air of luxury. The music was picked just right to fit the gently-lit ambience. Make sure you check out the opulent bar, complete with statues and overly large 'tusks', and take the chance to relax on the day beds between courses.

“excellent thai restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 15, 2012

amazingly hidden restaurant in the centre of Marrakech. well worth the search ! A fantastic fire and water feature dominates the centre of this restaurant. Excellent thai food and very courteous staff. You think you are inside but infact you are looking up to the stars....very special.

“Bland and overpriced”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 1, 2012

Even though there was tons of delicious-smelling food being grilled up and served in Djemma el-Fna, my wife and I foolishly decided to go to Narwama due to its recommendation in Lonely Planet. It was a huge mistake - first, all the prices were roughly double what was listed in LP (and the management had just put stickers over the old prices, so you could see that they just jacked things up once they got the recommendation); second - the food was very disappointing. Both the green curry and the spicy chicken we ordered were virtually tasteless, and I'm embarassed to say that this meal cost us more than double what we would ordinarily pay for (good) Thai food back home. Please do not make the same mistake we did...avoid this restaurant!!
