What our guests are saying

Best Moroccan food I’ve had outside of France/Morocco. Lamb shank tagine was incredible, get it with couscous. Baba ganoush was so fresh, really enjoyed it with the drizzle of high quality olive oil.

I have never tried Moroccan cuisine and it was so delicious and full of flavor. I usually doggie bag it but not this time. Wiped my plate clean. Great service and owner and staff so friendly. Would highly recommend it. Superb!!!
