Dar Marrakesh Restaurant — Restaurant in Lahore Cantonment Tehsil

For starters, we went for the Hummus. It treaded the thin line between "good" and "excellent". A well done Hummus offering, that doesn't come out as too soupy - With the caveat that it isn't as well flavored as it could be. Up the ante on the paprika, maybe? Or, a dash of garlic? It's sad that one would get such fine Hummus to taste flat in one's mouth.

For the main course, we tried their Tangine, Kabsa and Shish Taouk. The crown of awesomeness went to the Tangine. Finely done; A subtly-rendered but very rich blend of spices; A total show-stealer. The Kabsa is referred to by Dar Marrakesh as their speciality and rightly so. It's rich in taste and the meat is well done. Both are highly recommended. Finally, the Shish Taouk: The last amongst equals; The cooks-who-they-would-insist-are-chefs (to use my father-in-law's typically witty expression) had over done the meat to an off-putting blackness. However, I have no doubts about the quality of their ingredients or their overall ability to deliver a tasty punch. You are welcome to have another shot at the Shish Taouk even as it didn't work for us.

Next, the interiors and the ambience are a bit on the overdone side, flying just under the Gaudy Radar. Having said that, they still manage a decent showing. At nighttime, with all the lights, lamps and glittery trinkets aglow, Dar Marrakesh promises to deliver an "exotic" Oriental experience that is imbued with a ruby warmth and that, ultimately, comes together.

Finally, some of us felt that they could improve their service a little bit. There is, of course, room for...

A nice addition to the eateries of Lahore.

Situated on M.M.Alam road near Howdy.

Serves Moroccan, Labanese, Continental and Pakistani Food.

Ambiance is outstanding, cozy and worth spending time. Seats are comfortable.

Food quality and quantity is awesome. Less spicy so adequate for all age groups.

Their BBQ platter costs 1695/- and enough for two.

They serve traditional Arabic Soup/Yakhni with dates. You'll start loving soup as you take 2,3 spoons of it.

They serve HUMUS along with platter and HUMUS is awesome.

Platter items were served on a large wooden piece which is again a class in its own

After the meal MOROCCAN QAHWA with mint leaves is complimentary so I'd suggest to try this qahwa rather than cold drinks. Qahwa serving is mesmeric with smoke floating all around. WoW

Bill serving style is very good in a small treasure box.

Overall it's great place to have family and official dinners if you're fond of healthy and less spicy hygienic food.

Loved every bit of this visit. WOW

Its costs almost 1000/- PKR per head

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Caution: currently they only accept CASH. Credit Card facility...

To me the food quality is not good at all as compared to the money you spend. The ambiance is also not good and the service was pathetic due to unprofessional staff who don't care about your comfort and needs. The washroom is very dirty. There is no baby seat avaliable for the young ones. Coming back to the quality of the food it doesn't have a hint of arabic taste and being a foody you find their cousine is like continental. In short the resturant is much expensive with poor quality of food, ambiance and service. Its a total wastage of your time and money and i am surprised to see its rating on internet, i think its too...
