A small kitchen with a very nice ambiance and cozy atmosphere. The cook is extremely attentive and kindly checks in to make sure everything is to your liking, which makes the experience feel very personal. The service is warm and friendly. Price and portion size are reasonable.

I ordered the lamb with couscous, which came with vegetables, lamb chunks, and couscous — nicely presented. I especially loved the mint tea; it was refreshing and authentic. The only small suggestion would be that the food could use a bit more seasoning, particularly salt. Overall, a pleasant and welcoming dining experience.

It was a fantastic discovery! the food was simply outstanding and as authentic as it gets. You can truly feel and taste the care and love in every appetizer and main dish. It was long overdue to have a Moroccan restaurant that genuinely does justice to our incredible culture. The owners are incredibly warm and passionate. Wishing them nothing but great success, I have no doubt they’ll achieve it 🙏🏼 see you soon ☺️

The food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is even better.

We tried 3 appetizers (eggplant, potato and beans), the lamb and chicken tajine with couscous, the pistachio and amlou msemen and the spiced coffee. Every item we tried was amazing. The portions are generous, the quality of the ingredients is excellent and the flavours are out of this world.

If you’re in the area and looking for a wholesome and tasty meal, I definitely recommend here!
