ℝ𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕦𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕥 ℝ𝕖𝕘𝕦𝕖 𝕁𝕒𝕞𝕒𝕒 — Restaurant in Marrakesh Prefecture

We just spent 5 days in Marrakech, and we ate in different restaurants just about every meal, so we definitely tried quite a few restaurants and Tagines, and this place was hands down my favorite, my only regret is not shifting things around to eat here more than once, although the owner? clearly remembered us and would wave or say hi as we walked by afterwards.

The food: The Kebab Tagine, like I saw at least one other person say, wasn't like anything else in Marrakech, except I mean that as a huge complement, it was better quality chicken than we got pretty much anywhere else (without all the weird gristly chunks) and boneless. The flavor was wonderful. My only complaint is that this isn't the version other places have, it was so tasty! My wife had the chicken and lemon Tagine, it was like everywhere else, but still tied for her favorite version of it too.

The service: The I believe owner, or at least manager was an absurdly friendly multi-lingual guy who never pressured us walking by (before or after eating there) was wonderful to chat with a little while we waited for food (we were a little between meals so it was slow), and remembered us and would wave even if he was talking to someone else and asked how our day had been another night as we headed back to our Riad. While I really, really, loved the food, his personality is the real reason I'm on here writing a review.

The restaurant does have an air conditioner, but even if it didn't, I would 100% recommend giving this place a try if you are ever on that side...

I have lived in Morocco for over one year. So i know enough about Moroccan food and can tell the difference.

I went to this restaurant today, a Friday. And couscous is sacred on Fridays.

The couscous I ordered (Coucous Royal) was the worst couscous I have ever had in my entire time living in this country.

First, I had asked specifically if the Royal was the couscous with 7 vegetables. The waiter, seeing that i didn't appear to be local, said a hasty Yes. It was not.

Second, the blé itself was completely tasteless. Any couscous even just half the price, in any local restaurant, be it the humble vegetarian, or the simple chicken, or beef, the blé itself would be tasteful. But not this dish. The blé was completely bland - and it costs a whopping 110 dH, Couscous "Royal".

I'm not Moroccan. I'm an American living in Morocco. But the quality of this couscous was so poor - and today is Friday! - made so carelessly, thoughtlessly, and apparently with such a nonchalant attitude, as the restaurant is aimed for tourists who usually do not know the difference, that even i was insulted by...

I opted for a classic combination of a burger and fries, rounded out with a Moroccan-style dessert. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The burger was modest in size and delivered a taste that can best be described as average. It neither impressed nor disappointed significantly but lacked the distinctive flavor or freshness that could elevate a simple dish into something memorable. The fries, however, were a clear weak point. They appeared to have been cooked earlier and left to sit, resulting in a dry, overcooked texture. Compounding this, they were heavily oversalted, which overwhelmed any remaining appeal. For dessert, I tried a Moroccan specialty featuring thin slices of pancake fried in oil. Visually, it was quite appealing and held the promise of a light, crisp finish. Unfortunately, the execution did not match the presentation. The oil used had a stale flavor, and the overall taste was flat and uninviting, making the dish...
