Cons:

  • "I spent $75 on my anniversary for stale pita bread, half frozen chicken, barely boiled potatoes, old rice and rotten hummus."
  • "Small portions, expensive, so-so quality of food, no sauces, pita bread seemed like it was from a packet that you just warm up."

  • "I wasn’t a fan of the rice or veggies cooked underneath."
  • "The main dishes, however, were well cooked, but lacked flavor."
  • "The cook here is pretty amateur. Chicken was over cooked and too hard. The cous cous was a mush. Flavors are not Moroccan at all."

Ambiance

  • "The decor transports you to another place and time."

Cons:

  • "When arriving in the parking lot, it looks like a dive from the front."
  • "Ambience is great and they even have a tiny bazaar in the front to buy 'cultural items'. The decor is the only authentic thing in this place."
  • "The place is pretty small, we literally took up half of the restaurant."
