An entertaining and unique experience in the city. Came here on a whim on Friday night and were lucky to be seated (reservations really recommended.) Loved everything about our experience; the cushioned seating, the music and entertainment, the hand-washing service, we felt really pampered and taken care of. Lest you think this is just some gimmicky place, rest assured the food was excellent. We started off our 5-course meal with their silky lentil soup, followed by their salad plate, and the delightful bastilla. Our entrees — chicken with lemons and olives, and couscous with vegetables — were great. We ended the evening with knafeh, fried bananas and mint tea. Definitely a place to check out!
Wow. What a fun night! The room had tons of charm. A lot of authentic touches. The food was amazing and the staff was great. I asked what meal was recommended and they suggest family style (we had four of us). Do it. We got to try many great dishes. This place is a must.

Al Mansour is the perfect place for a fun cultural night out. This place can be found deep within San Francisco with a relatively modest but culturally evocative entrance.
First of all, the food is very good and original to this restaurant or to the Moroccan cuisine that is its specialty. The five course menu won't disappoint with plenty of options for everybody. There is also a separate prix-fixe menu if you don't want the full menu.
The lentil soup tastes really really good, I also enjoy dipping the bread in it, it makes for a nice savory combination. There is a pistachio and beef specialty pie as one of the appetizers which is very unique and tasty to boot.
I think all the options on the menu are good, but I especially enjoyed the lamb with honey and almonds, or the Moroccan seafood dish, but I think all seem very good.
The belly dancing performances definitely added a lot to an evening at this place, it really turned everything into an experience. We were lucky that we went through two full sessions of dancing cuz we stayed long enough. The lady fit in many different styles and trappings as part of her performance.
The atmosphere is very well done, once you step through that front entrance, you feel you are in a Moroccan tent in the desert with comfortable pillow seating and small tables. The decor is very sumptuous and expressive.
The evening is topped off with a delightful dessert with deep fried banana and baklava, and some nice mint tea.
The service was always excellent and they often checked to make sure we had everything we needed.
This place is an experience and I definitely recommend coming here with a big group of friends or family. The food is really good, and it’s very “sharable”
We were served tea from beautiful containers and enjoyed a very impressive dance show.
The place looks like a temple and is very colorful and elegant. It feels like you have come to Morocco🫶
Very good experience with really inviting staff. The belly dancers were great. The whole experience was really new and unique for us. You pay a set price for a 4 course meal and they serve it to you during the show. The food was okay, but true Morrocan and it just wasn’t my thing. The drinks were nice. I loved the atomsphere and the seating on the ground. The price of the meal was $65, but would range depending on what you got.
Food is consistently delicious. I've been taking my 40 yo son since he was a young boy. Now it's a favorite place for family birthdays. Often requested by our picky eaters. Food is great, service is wonderful and the belly dancing is fun. Our 3 yo grand was enthralled!
What a fun experience! It's certainly a pricey place but worth it for the food and especially the unique experience. The belly dancer was really talented and engaged the audience. If you tip her, she gets you out of your seat and dancing! A little embarrassing but the setting is very comfortable and the crowd was great.
The honey almond lamb was delicious and very filling!
Such a fun celebratory dinner experience. The food is delicious, service is very attentive & the entertainment is fabulous!
A cutty Moroccan restaurant in the quiet Outer Richmond! The restaurant (inside and out) was beautifully ornate, and I enjoyed the belly dancer at dinner. I ordered the Rabbit Tagine, which was different since I rarely ever eat rabbit (+ exotic xp). My friend ordered the Chicken Bastilla, which is a popular and traditional Moroccan pie (+ authentic xp). The food was decent, but the flavors weren't particularly extraordinary or memorable for me. The dining experience was definitely unique though.

If you want to get out of your head space and make a quick trip to Morocco, okay not really but close enough, try El Mansour. the food is delightful and is served in numerous servings. everything tastes good the atmosphere is out of this world with belly dancing and traditional seating. they truly transport you to another place for a few hours, so give yourself over to them and have a fantastic experience!!
there is no Ada parking as far as I can tell, so I recommend heading over on a weeknight if at all possible, if you require Ada or close parking.
What a delightful experience. The service is warm and welcoming, the prix fix menu gives you a great sampling of food, and the decor and belly dance show transport you to another place. We had the lamb w honey and almonds and the chicken w lemon and olives and both were delicious. Definitely will come again.
Reluctant to share anything because I want to keep this place for myself! Oh well. It's really an awesome place. The ambiance is so cozy and the seating makes it feel like you are dining with your community. The belly dancing is so much fun. Very yummy food with a great pre-fixe set-up. Super happy with the experience :)
Loved the ambiance!
Food is delicious.
Chicken bastilla was really good.
Worth going during belly dance.
Tea was amazing 😻

The food was absolutely amazing ! The ambiance made me fell like I am in Middle East!
The belly dancing was exceptional to say the least. Best fancy restaurant in the Bay Area for sure
Incredible experience. I think I had my favorite meat dish I’ve ever had and didn’t even get a picture of it I was so blown away: THE RABBIT TAGINE.
The sauce and tenderness of the meat was truly out of this world. Highly highly recommend.
Such a great atmosphere, fun course selections (including this powdered sugar chicken and almond fried dough appetizer which I was hesitant at first because I’m not used to sweet chicken and did seem dry but then as I crunched through more of it came to appreciate the dry aspect of it)
Beautiful exterior as well. Would go again and try more entrees
The food was absolutely delicious! Great service, super kind and friendly staff. The show was great and definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to come back and try more!
