Hôtel Farouk Marrakech — Hotel in Marrakesh Prefecture

Review is for the Cafe/Restaurant. ||||This isn't the sort of place we would normally try, however, it was constantly busy with locals at all hours of the day, so we decided to pay it a visit for an evening meal. ||||The service was spot on, very friendly and not rushed. ||||We tried 3 local dishes, Chicken Tajine, Chicken Pastilla and vegetable cous cous. We also ordered a pizza. ||||The Tajine was amazing in terms of depth of flavour, the tajine method of cooking really enhanced the different flavours. ||||The Pastilla - a pastry stuffed with meat, nuts and fruit - it was very sweet for a main dish but a drizzle of chilli oil, balances the flavours. ||||The vegetable cous cous was served with a curry sauce, which was really tasty and worked really well with the soft vegetables which accompanied the dish. ||||Pizza - one of the best pizzas I have had anywhere in the world.

Moroccan salad was nice as was the mint tea. All other food was average.||Whilst waiting for the food to arrive a man started making pizzas which confused me as the oven was apparently broken. Anyway 3 pizzas were made, cooked in the pizza oven and placed in take away boxes. These were then picked up by the person they were willing/could be bothered to...

From the outside this hotel restaurant is unassuming, however, the food is really tasty and very reasonably priced. We had a few meals there - lunch and dinner. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Friday night couscous is special and was delicious and definitely worth checking out. Portion sizes are generous and with a fresh mint tea to round off the...
