Morocco is a country of contrast, magic and timeless wonders. It is blessed with rich, nourishing land and mountain snows; beaches, deserts and lush oases.

Casbah's are in harmony amongst this backdrop. It is a sanctuary for Moroccans.

In this dining room you will witness authentic architecture, carvings, tiles, paintings and crafts which result from twelve centuries of Moroccan art.

The cuisine is presented in a fashion that enhances it's surroundings and is considered by culinary experts to be among the top three cuisines worldwide.

The food was delicious and the service was great! We really liked the host. He was friendly, patient, and made good recommendations. We got the tour of Morocco + one tajine, and it was enough for two of us. The couscous was delicious! The best I've ever had. It's so fluffy and creamy.

Highly recommend! Delicious meal, attentive service and wonderful ambiance. A great place for a romantic night or a small group. Definitely try the spinach and ricotta appetizer, and the fez tajine with couscous. Delicious and just the right portion. We will be back very soon! Loved it

The food here was very good and the ambience was absolutely beautiful! Our server, who had mentioned she was new, did make a few errors and was a little inattentive but overall this did not detract from a good experience.
