The touters for this restaurant are a disgrace to the city. They treat tourists as though we owe them a favor. They passed out fliers promoting their restaurant and said we can take a look and decide again. As they are located beside two other restaurants, I decided to eat with another one that had something I wanted after going through everyone’s menu. They were unhappy with that and walked towards me and asked me to return the flier and said “you are not kind”. I don’t understand why this meant I am not kind? I made my decision to go with a restaurant that I like and they were unhappy as though I owed them that meal. It truly ruins every tourists experience being in this city.

So I scored 4 stars instead of 3 to level the...
Read moreI felt very sad here. When I was looking for a restaurant in front of a store, a tout approached me. I listened to his explanation and said thank you. Then, when I tried to look at the restaurant next door, he said to me, "Thank you, monkey." I'm not Moroccan, but is that wrong? Did I do something bad enough to be called a monkey? I was clearly a victim of sad racism. I decided to eat at the restaurant so I could write this. Then, when I told the female staff member what he had said to me, she laughed. Is this a funny story?
I don't know how to reply to the owner's comment, so I'll edit it here and add it.
Yes. This is what happened at your restaurant. I don't know if she remembers, but if you check with the woman's server, you...
