We went on a Thursday night during prime dinner hours. There was a 20 min wait but with no reservations that was ok with us. Food was amazing and the service was great!! Well worth the wait! We were kindly greeting with water, their house green tea and menus by our server. We decided to get signature drinks - flying fig martini and the Moroccan sunrise - both very well made and tasty. We got the Moroccan ‘cigars’ for an appetizer which were very good and the sauce on it made it even better. For the entrees we selected the lamb meatballs w/ spaghetti in a special house made sauce which was very good and meat balls were big! And we got the Chicken Tagine with tomato jam, Harissa, almonds and figs - this dish was outstanding!! Both came with a side of seasoned rice and warm pita bread. We also order the charred broccoli with garlic and that was perfectly charred and very yummy. The portions were good sized we ended up wrapping the rest of our meals and ordered desserts to go. We got the cheesecake- topped with a berry sauce and crushed pistachios and baclava- delish! Definitely will go back!!

Came here on a Wednesday before a show at proctors. We arrived at 5:10 and were seated promptly. By 5:30 the entire restaurant was full! Nonetheless our food came out promptly and was quite delicious. I had the eggplant tagine and it was perfectly spiced, savory, flavorful and sweet. I could have eaten the whole thing but wanted to save room for the baklava which i highly recommend as well! Despite the whole restaurant being full our server was prompt and attentive. I appreciate that they were aware we needed to be on time to the show. We sat near the door so i could see that even as busy as it was the maximum wait time for anyone who didn't sit at the bar instead of getting a table was about 15 minutes. Id give more than 5 stars if i could because its not easy to have such amazing food and amazing service despite being packed!

There is nothing negative to say about this restaurant. I came from out of town, was greeted with a warm ambiance and amazing smells in a family run setting. I was given thorough information about each dish I inquired about. The food itself was perfectly cooked and well seasoned and I was provided with generous portions of the wine, lamb meatballs, and spicy fig tagine I ordered. The restaurant owner was training a new chef in the kitchen. She was patient, thorough, and consistent which I am certain translates to quality and consistency of each prepared dish. The food heightened my overall experience of Schenectady and I encourage those who are able to try it to do so.
