Beautiful restaurant, with medium quality food.
The structure is very nice and the dinner is cheered by fairly good players.
But the food was not the best.
The Moroccan salads were cold (from the fridge) and were brought along with the main dishes.
My lamb tajine was a piece of baked thigh accompanied by onion sauce, brought in a fake (white-glazed) tajine.
The dish was good, but it wasn't tajine. In particular, it lacked all the complexity related to the uneven cooking of the tajine, in which the bottom parts caramelize and burn, giving a wonderful flavor to the ingredients.
Would not stay there again

Certainly the riad is most elegant, certainly the service is most attentive, certainly the musicians who brighten up the evening are very good. But the big flaw is the mediocrity of the dishes served. One of the worst pastillas I ate in Morocco (dry and stuffy and insufficiently flavored), a tagine with raisins and almonds where the lamb was much too firm and where I did not see the trace of a single almond whole. As for red wines, the choice of half-bottles is more than limited and of little quality. On arrival I still paid a hefty bill of 645 dirhams without having ordered any dessert or additional drink. Hard hard…

The food was good, a bit higher priced than elsewhere perhaps but good. The dinning room itself was spectacular, and don't forget to look up as the ceiling is perhaps the best part. Local musicians gave a local feel, but I would strongly suggest they remove the Anglo-Saxon Christmas music from their repertoire. The overall feel to the place was a little cold, it felt a little more like a museum than a restaurant. One thing they do need to improve on though is the time between courses. We seemed to spend more time waiting than eating. They could also place a basket of bread on the table as we kept having to ask for more of the small, but delicious bread rolls.

After a reservation on the website, we were confirmed by email. Upon arrival at the restaurant at the agreed time, the manager informs us that payment by card does not work. This was not indicated in the confirmation email. So cash payment is mandatory. The food is good without more, the service is just right, and in fact, the prices in terms of the first criteria are exorbitant. We went to this restaurant on the advice of the guide of the Routard, who is usually quite well advised, but here, a new visit is necessary, as there is a discrepancy between the description and reality.

Food: 5/5
I had low expectations (thought restaurant was overhyped) but was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Harira, Veal Tagine, Mixed Salad, and Mille Crepe Dessert. The food was tasty, big proportions (which compensated for higher prices)
Service: 5/5
We were well advised and attended to
Atmosphere: 5/5
I liked the music, the decorations and we had a good time watching other patrons get entertained with music.
Location: 4/5
Located near a bunch of other restaurants but harder to find. Also wasn’t a huge fan that the surrounding streets were not well lit (and the restaurant is a well known tourist trap).
Value: 5/5
Our meal was expensive, but for the amount of food we got, service and entertainment we felt we got our money’s worth.

A white tablecloth restaurant even with cloth napkins, pretty rare so far in Morocco. Delicious food served expeditiously and with charm. We had a large assortment of Moroccan salads to begin with followed by stuffed peppers or a delicious chicken dish. Those that had the stuffed peppers thought it was excellent. The dessert was phyllo dough topped with crème anglais that had been mixed with honey and orange blossom extract combined with very finely chopped almonds. It was very yummy. Tea was poured from high, high above to aerate it. There was a lute, drum and zither combo playing to add to the atmosphere of the renovated Riad which became this restaurant. I can’t comment on the prices as the group leader paid with his”tour bank” provided by OAT (Overseas Adventure Travel), but whatever the price, I would suggest a reservation and go there. I gather from other reviews it is expensive by Moroccan standards. We had a great experience and I would have paid US prices for it.

This was a joke, a tragedy and a waste of time and money. They must have changed ownership and chef, because this is the worst dinner we've had during our month in Morocco. The women serving/clearing looked so bored; they didn't change out our knife/fork between courses; the lamb brochette was tasteless (no seasoning of any kind, and it didn't even taste like lamb. Even the musical entertainment was sad - played jingle bells and the Star Spangled Banner!! Really, is that what you do for tips. We are usually generous with gratuity, but we didn't leave a penny. Just awful. Our 80 dhm lunch was much better than this excuse for a high end restaurant. Only positive is the beautiful interior decor.

If you are vegetarian, this restaurant is not for you. One choice only for mains. Extremely bland cous cous with vegetables lumped on top. Thank goodness it was served with a saucer of chutney because that was the only thing that provided any flavour.
If you want good service, this restaurant is not for you. Despite being only one of three small groups of guests, it was over an hour before our mains were served. The small plate of olives was whisked away well before then and before finished and the wine (a nice bottle of Moroccan rose) was eventually plonked on the table. We had to ask for it to be placed on ice which was done but then requires that we had to get up, walk over to get it and serve ourselves. Impossible to get the attention of wait staff.
We are not difficult customers to please but really, this experience was terrible. Such a shame as it had been a great day until that point. And yes… we let the maître de know we were disappointed. We got a mumbled “oh sorry”.

Fantastic venue, but they are cutting corners in the kitchen. Our artichoke lamb dish and citron chicken dish had the exact same sauce. The tajines are very expensive, this should not happen, they should taste completely different. Tourists are loving the Moroccan experience, with the live music and furnishings, but the staff were lifeless. The Moroccan tea pour was not celebrated, but dull. An increased level of hospitality through staff enjoying their jobs and connecting with guests would make it a much better experience.

Disappointed very disappointed.
I am a native of Rabat and I have frequented this establishment for more than 25 years, as being the sure value of the Moroccan restaurant on Rabat, we used to find the small dishes of our grandmothers.
But this time, it was more. The three tagines we ordered all had the same taste the thing that differentiates them is the filling (still happy) frankly they do not honor our Moroccan gastronomy in front of an uninformed foreign clientele. The choice of wines is mediocre a very average bottle of red wine at 600 Dh; I call it a scam. Not to mention the dessert based on our famous Moroccan biscuits gazelle horns of very very poor quality, supposed to be based on almond legs.
And finally the prices are simply EXORBITANT not reflecting the quality of the dishes served. For me, unfortunately, this is the last time I will take foreign collaborators or even my family to this place.

This restaurant was close to the riad we were staying at so we choose to go there for our first dinner at Rabat. As vegetarian, I had issue getting variety in Morocco especially in restaurants where there seems to be just one vegetarian dish and one vegetable salad ( just onion tomato and olives). For me salad accompanies main dishes and is not a meal in itself. So I choose Seven vegetable couscous, my sons went for chicken tagine, lamb kebabs. I also ordered mint tea .The food is costly and it was in fact one of our costliest meal in Morocco. My tea was served with flourish by the server but she took away the kettle !! So I just got a small glass of tea.
My couscous had half cut boiled pieces of 5-6 types of vegetables. I recognised carrot, potato, radish ,sweet potato and few unfamiliar tasting one. There was gravy accompanying the dish. Well, I wasn't very impressed with my dish. Blandish!
The chicken tagine according to my son was good and the lamb kebab good but portions too less .
The decor was inclining towards gold .The table are well laid with wine glasses of 2-3 types and good crockery. After we came they received more guest and apparently people had made reservations(even we were asked if we had reservations).It seemed popular with tourist.
There were loads of people working for this place and we were a bit unnerved by a group of 3 - a gentlemen and 2 ladies sitting in corner and chatting. As we were not sure if they are owners or workers we ignored their presence but if felt a bit uncomfortable to be scrutinized as you deal with unfamiliar food.
For us it wasn't a very good choice food wise and ambience wise !

We had eight of us and all agreed that this was the worst restaurant of our trip. The staff was surly and disorganized. The tables were too crowded together. We ate traditional tajine and cous cous and the meal was late and overcooked even by Moroccan standards.

We wanted a local Moroccan dining experience, so our hotel made reservations for us at Dinarjat. The evening began memorably when an escort with lantern in hand led us through back streets from our hotel to Dinarjat's impressive main entrance. It was like being in a movie. The restaurant's interior was striking in its use of bright, bold colors against mostly white walls. Arched openings to alcoves encircled a large central courtyard which were all used for restaurant seating. The staff were attired in traditional Moroccan clothing, and live music entertained throughout the evening. Everything was wonderful and service very attentive, but after enjoying some Medaillon wine, Okra Soup, B'stilla and placing our main dish orders, our pleasant server was changed. She was replaced by a rude girl who delivered our meals by literally tossing each onto the table. She was sneezing and coughing and was incredibly noisy when clearing nearby tables. Our orders of Lamb Shanks with Artichoke (Souris D'Agneau Artichaud) and Tajine of Lamb Tfaya with Almonds were tasty. However, the proverb 'one bad apple spoils the barrel' certainly held true at Dinarjat. The single bad employee ruined the entire experience, and we complained to the restaurant upon departing. To top it all off, one of our group was sick that evening and into the following day.

A comfortable riad style restaurant. We had delicious well spiced harira, 99dr, then lamb skewers with rice, 215dr. Rice well cooked with every grain separate, lamb well spiced but sadly rather tough. A bottle of rose at 220dr. Overall 890dr for two courses for two. Pleasant enough but only three stars as not good value. One can eat just as well elsewhere in the medina for much less.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here recently. From the moment we reached the enchanting entry door in a side alley of the Medina we felt this restaurant did a great providing a wonderful local experience. The food was delicious and served in healthy portions and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The musicians entertaining during dinner were also enjoyable
