    They make the most delicious Moroccan food. Everything was very tasty and the menu accomodates all types of eaters. Our pescatarian was happy with his choices. The desserts are quite inventive and favorful as well. The yuzu custard and date cake were both standouts as they employed unique herbs and spices into these desserts. It’s probably a reality in restaurants these days as they do not have enough servers for the number of tables. People had to wait a long time at the front desk to get acknowledged by the hostess. Other than that, this is well worth visiting.

    Wonderful good and very creative menu. The smoked trout latkes were amazing with an incredibly generous portion of perfectly cooked trout. The vegetable tagine was full of Moroccan spices and the almonds were an especially nice addition. My husband & our friend had the pork chop and fried chicken and enjoyed their food as well. The chocolate malted ice cream was meltingly delicious.
