Delicious food and excellent service! Our server recommended a Moroccan Syrah. We got the Zaatar Coca to start. The Zaatar bread was very fresh and the caramelized onions were so tasty it was like dessert. For our meal we got the Melkha and the Lamb Tajine. I’ve never had couscous so light and fluffy. The Lamb was cooked perfectly and fell right off the bone into a delicious sweet/savory sauce. I finished with a refreshing mint tea that had just enough sweetness to it. Definitely get the tea!

The waitress was wonderful, however she should not be working alone. She was under so much pressure and was clearly doing the job of at least 2 or 3 people. There was a gentlemen helping her, but he did not appear dressed appropriately for working the "floor" and his clothes were visibly dirty. He was not around often, but seemed to bring drinks out from the back for the over-worked waitress. The food was DELICIOUS. However the wait was long. It took 20 minutes (and us having to stop her and grab her attention) to get an appetizer, and then 42 minutes to get our actual meal. This is not the fault of the waitress, as she was nonstop. They just clearly need more help at this restaurant. The one big issue I had were the menus. They were paper copies, wrinkled, dirty, and super unprofessional. I would be embarrassed to use those with customers if this was my restaurant. I want to emphasis that the waitress was wonderful and admirable. She is doing the work of many.

Great food, ok service. Food was fantastic but it was incredibly slow (1 hour just for the appetizers to begin coming out). Still worth the wait just wish I knew ahead of time because it wasn’t an ideal time to have a prolonged dining time.

I would like to update my review: the food quality and quantity is not as good as what they used to offer. The food is overpriced ( for $30 lamb tajin you should get something really good). I had the same food a year or two before and it was really good! This time the stew was meh and not much apricot, almonds and pistachio in it. I think they have new staff (or maybe new manager 🤷🏻‍♂️) but anyway I am not happy with my recent visit. Here is my original review from 2-3 years ago: From cuisine to decoration to staff everything was amazing! Food was so great ( both appetizers and entrees). Staff are very kind and friendly! Make sure to try their non-alcoholic drink “sherbat” (lemonade type of drink with lots of herbs/spices). Will definitely revisit!
