This place had a great atmosphere and food, but the meat portions were small and you could not pay with card. They said the card machine was down, but other reviewers said the same thing so I think they are just lying about the card machine. Additionally, they automatically include an 18% top that is non-negotiable. Aside from these things, the place is well decorated. It’s like traveling to Morocco. The food was flavorful and delicious. First entree was cucumber salad, carrots and eggplant. Second dish was filo, egg, almond, sugar and cinnamon (this was delicious). Third dish was a ½ chicken (to split between 2 people). Fourth dish was lamb (very small portion). Fifth dish was couscous. Sixth dish was fruit. Seventh dish was mint tea and 1 slice of baklava. Overall it was a cute place, but I didn’t like them forcing you to pay with cash and adding an automatic tip. Fyi the drinks were super cheap and it’s BYOB. $35 pp for the meal.
I had a great experience here for my birthday dinner. The staff are very friendly and hospitable, they take you to an authentic Moroccan trip. The belly dancer is also very much fun. They are BYOB so help yourself. Totally worth it, great experience! Very attentive in refilling your water and pita. You should see by yourself i cant do the justice about the beauty of decoration and authenticity of everything.
You have to eat here!! They only have a 7-course set menu that’s 30 (a bit less than 40 after tax and tip), but the portion is very very generous and every course is amazing! First course is three kinds of salad, second is pastilla, third is chicken, fourth is tangine lamb or beef, fifth is couscous, sixth is fruit and seventh is baklava and tea. Everything is very delicious and authentic. The Moroccan hospitality and cozy decor take me back to my time in Morocco. This place has been open for 50+ years and there are def so many reasons why it’s been so loved. It’s a truly gem. Service, food, atmosphere all perfect. Everyone in our group loved this place (some never had Moroccan food before). The portion in my pic is for 4.
Please do yourself a favor and come with friends and family!! My hubby said this place was totally worth the 1.5 hours drive from NYC alone.
