Absolutely horror show! Never in my many years have ever written a review, but I just had to for this place. On arrival a young girl welcomed us even though I hinted a slight rude tone of voice and overall character. After been seated we waited…and waited…and waited…for our menus. After waiting so long I had to go and ask for for our menu, again the rude waitress with her grumpy face kept saying “what”, “huh” as if I was speaking tongue tied. When we got our menus and decided what to eat, of course you guessed it… we waited again for service, once more I had to wave the waitress down for service (which I dreaded). So after waiting a trillion, billion, million years and watching people come in, in groups of 5 and getting their food before us (me and my girlfriend). We finally got our food!!! Hallelujah! Hold on where’s my food? I ordered the lamb cutlets, 3 skinny tiny…no minuscule lamb cutlets. That were still bleeding, nearly moving and absolutely full of salt there’s less salt in the ocean. I mean that’s on the meat there was, which was about 2 bites overall. And half my plate full of soggy chips and the other half full of salad, that could feed a family of giraffes. After complaining to a waitress which I hate doing, she replied with “wellll that’s how the lamb cutlets come” (what dripping with blood?) with her poker face. I said well you should of gave me 10 then, not 3! After she said she would get the manager we then again waited and waited for this manager to come. To my surprise no manager arrived but the same waitress who said “he said thank you for your feedback, would you like a free desert?”. ARE YOU SERIOUS? The manager can’t face me to apologize for his nearly moving lamb on my plate. Why would I want anymore food, after complaining about how utterly diabolical it was. Wow. Better service at McDonald’s. £47 I will never get back and thanks for ruining our date night. Lots more I could write but I don’t want to bore you like their food. Shocking.

This is the worst meal I've had in Cambridge & one of the most hyped restaurant. I am convinced people in Cambridge either lost their sense of taste or just haven't eaten this type of cuisine before. Drinks - asked for a cocktail recommendation , got recommended some pineapple drink - said okay I'll trust the waiter's recommendation - ended up not being a cocktail at all - it was some kind of juice (I like pineapple in cocktails but not on its own) so it was rly revolting . When I said I was expecting a cocktail, there was no apology or an offer to change it. I took 1 sip and didn't drink anything. Had to ask for tap water. Food- the aubergine with chilli starter was horrific . Genuinely, no flavour , undercooked and bland. The tagine I got was a fair portion but it was extremely salty and the meat tasted like rubber. The couscous was the worse couscous I've ever eaten. I was struggling to eat my food. This place is extremely bad for anyone who has eaten this cuisine before and I'm glad they found a place in Cambridge because in any major city in England - this place will get trounced by competition First time in England I've had to voluntarily brave the courage to say I don't want to pay the discretionary service charge. Usually I do so out of basic courtesy , but this time I just couldn't . £31 for that awful dinner & service.

Either book in advance, or try uour luck later in the evening. We had to come back after a stroll up and down the street,-no regrets! Also this street is full of restaurants, if no luck in this one. Never tried this cuisine before, and very happy with it. Mint tea -simple, refreshing, aromatic! Do give it a try, fun to pour it from a fancy pot. In case you are wondering, I think adding cuscus to meat has an advantage- the later is closer to you, hence you feel the wonderful aroma better. I gave 4 stars for food, because while my lamb with apricots and prunes was very tasty, someone ordered seafood, and it was quite dull. My impression is they cooked the sauce separately from fish, mussels and prawns,and then just added those later without giving them the chance to absorb the aroma. The atmosphere is very nice. I liked the decor. Although it is quite dark. Very friendly service. They switched off the air conditiining above our table on my request and switched on another one, thx! Try parking on the side streets. And the sides of the sides.

This place totally lives up to its hype! Glad I followed the recommendations online and dined here. The food was super delicious and in large portions. It has a bedouin tent decor; and water and meals are served in traditional pottery, which makes up a cool ambiance. I had lamb liver for starters, lamb kofte for main meal, and the sunset djanet cocktail. Service was also great, I was waited by Yasin and Amanda who were both amazing. I understand prices are normal for Cambridge but totally a bargain compared to London given the quality!! Starters and cocktails around £7 and all mains around £15-£20. Also, they keep a halal kitchen and all coctails are non-alcoholic, which helps if you have Muslim dietary restrictions. (I could finally eat meat outside, hooray.) Overall, this place made my day, totally recommended. Definitely MAKE A RESERVATION in advance, I showed up without one and although it was Monday night they were fully booked. Luckily I was there early and they could accommodate me. As I was leaving, the place was full!

Being a big fan of North African cuisine, we decided to try this very attractive restaurant, designed internally like a Bedouin tent, aesthetically very pleasing. Seating arrangement is decently proportioned and comfortable. The menu isn’t overly complicated and has a broad selection to please all, from your staters, that include hummus, pastilla and many others. Major disappointment was that for a North African cuisine on a busy Saturday night they didn’t have any Harrira Soup. Tajine dishes were presented well, lamb shanks, chicken with olives, meatballs all great, flavoursome and decent portions. Plenty of bread to go round with extremely attentive service. Tea was disappointing at the end, we all know a good glass of Magrebi mint tea, this was a let down. Overall price was good, outstanding service, would return and recommended, Karim and team are doing a fantastic job! Halal certificate displayed in the window provided by HFA.
