If you are not accustomed to the Morrocan culture, you will not enjoy the food. The belly dancer was not there as advertised. That should have been an indication we were not going to have a good time. It was a slap in the face that for us paying $28/person they gave us 1 freaking cornish hen for 4 ppl to share. Only good part was the hooka. Never again.

This is a typical Moroccan multi course feast where you are supposed to eat with your hands. It's pretty much average for this kind of meal which means the food is very good. You get cold vegetables (eggplant carrots etc.) soup, chicken in phylo, chicken Moroccan style (with lemon and olives) lamb tea fresh fruit and Moroccan Baklava for s=desert. Well worth the price.

went there with a groupon and though the service was ok, we were roped into paying a 20% gratuity because we were using the groupon. Normally I would pay a 20% tip but I dislike being made too especially if the service can be poor or less than average.

The 7 course feast was awkward. We got chicken (which was very salty, which masked the flavor...although we could tell the seasoning was authentic) at one stage and then couscous a few stages later....it would have been nice to just have the spread on the table for eating as we pleased. The fruit course was just an apple and an orange....but the baklava was MAGNIFICENT! I think overall we liked the place, but the service wasn't that great (not very friendly. we got the feeling we were disturbing him eventhough we were the only patrons for awhile). It's a late night place I think, mainly for hookah and belly dancing on the weekends.

This is a typical Moroccan restaurant. You are supposed to eat with your hands but my wife an I were the only diners that dud not ask for firms and spoons! The food was good and with so any courses, there was more than enough. The belly dancer was n unexpected extra.
