We were recommended this restaurant. And it definitely did not disappoint! It is a very attractive restaurant, parking is very easy in the compound nearby. The waiters and staff were all very pleasant, most spoke excellent English. We ordered a Moroccan salad with argan oil, and foie mchermel (marinated liver) as starters. We also ordered a camel tagine, and baby goat tagine as our mains, as recommended on numerous other reviews. Service is quite sleepy as it seems they are a very small crew in a very big space. And when we arrived, it was really quite full. The restaurant seating spans 2 floor, with the kitchen on the ground floor. So they (2 waiters) are actually running up and down 3 floors to serve and attend to everyone! We sat indoors at the rooftop as it was too cold to sit outside on the terrace. It is a very cosy and inviting space. We did have to wait almost 2hrs for our food as the place was just completely packed... I perhaps would not recommend coming here if you are in a hurry. But it was absolutely worth the wait for us. Everything was really special and unique. The foie was really well prepared, buttery and flavourful. Both tagines were delicious with a rich sauce... probably the best tagine I have had my entire trip! And the argan oil in the Moroccan salad was also a very special touch. It was a very enjoyable dinner for us indeed and worth the trip. The prices are also very fair and reasonable. I can totally see why they are so very popular!
Went for a sunset dinner as it has a roof top overlooking the main square. Food was good! Very generous portions. Recommend the tagine and the orange cinnamon at the end. Service needs some working as they are either too busy to serve the 3 floor restaurant or it is just a bit too slow. You will need to wait for initial service and after between all courses.. the view compensates tho.
I could not recommend this place more highly. We sat outside for dinner, drank a lovely bottle of wine and had fantastic food. The goat tagine and the almond pastilla for desert were brilliant. Service was lovely. A really wonderful place!
