Chez Ouazzani — Restaurant in Agdal Riyad أكدال الرياض

This is the quintessential locals place. Been around for 50+ years...truly the OG Moroccan place to eat in Rabat. In fact, there is currently a ton of construction happening in the area for a new stadium (⚽️ FIFA Morocco) and out of respect for this establishment, they are not changing any of the restaurant frontage. 🎉

Service was outstanding...place runs like a well oiled machine!

Quick side comment...I don't know how Moroccan men are thin (and they are) because if I lived here, I would become a carb blob due to the amazing bread at every meal. And this was some of the best I experienced...truly top shelf. Add some of their Zaalouk and wowser.

Full from bread but let's crush some lamb skewers, meat, rice, and fries (needed more carbs...lol). The meats are truly prepared old school making them super tender with this wonderful char flavor.

There might have been salad but the meat sweats got in my eyes so I lost focus...

Seriously must visit this place...

I was there with my Mom the day before last day of Ramadan for Iftar.. the atmosphere and some waiters attitude was a disaster.. nothing is well organized they put us in the worst table in the restaurant which is facing the wall and when i asked politely the young host with glasses he refused to provide help or change our table and also he was fighting with an old client man with an impolite reaction and attitude like in Hammam our souk.. not professional at all.. we did not enjoy our iftar and will not comeback again or recommend it to anyone who prefers to be treated with class and respect... ONLY one gentle waiter i forgot his name he has white hair and his age around 50s the only one who was smiling and treating as with a nice way... The...

The worst restaurant ever! I asked about the price of a minced meat sandwich, and they told me there was one for 30dh and another one for 39dh. I chose the 30dh option and took my seat. However, they suddenly informed me that I couldn't eat there because I only ordered a takeout, and if I wanted to dine in, I would have to pay an additional 10dh. This was very strange, as I had never encountered such a policy before.

Afterward, my meal arrived, and to my dismay, I discovered that I received only half a bread with very little meat inside, all for the price of 30dh! I was shocked because I could get the exact same sandwich for just 10dh in the old medina....
