El Mansour is a special place where you experience delicious food and great service, as well as a very energetic, fun atmosphere. The bellydancing is a wonderful treat! I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves food and wants to try something different, though I am a returning customer and have been here many times.

We came to the restaurant early, after a matinee at the Symphony. My out-of-town guest had a passing familiarity with Moroccan cuisine, so this was not totally new. I had dined at El Mansour years 35-40 ago in their first location, but this was my first time at 3119 Clement. The service is terrific and the food is wonderful. We were only sorry that we finished dinner before the belly dancing started.

It was a quiet night but the staff was gracious & welcoming. We were there for my boyfriends birthday and they played some happy birthday music when they brought out dessert with a candle. We also got a private lesson with the belly dancer which was really fun! The atmosphere was really relaxing, beautifully decorated & comfortable.

We went to El Mansour for a 40th birthday and the relaxed seating and atmosphere was perfect. We could move around because the food was family style and the seating was very cozy. The service was good and our server in particular was very patient with our group. The belly dancing was of course a hit, especially to the 10 year old girl in our group who got to participate!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary by having dinner at El Mansour. Our night couldn't have been better. We had never tried Morrocan food before but came in with an open mind and empty bellies. Our dinner started with bread and delicious lentil soup. Then traditional Moroccan salad and an appetizer that is like if you mix a chicken pot pie with funnel cake. It was delicious. Our main course was chicken and vegetables and my husband had the chicken and lamb. All flavorful and tender. Bread still making the rounds. While we enjoyed our main course we enjoyed a beautiful bellydancer who let some of us patrons join in on the dancing. We finished with dessert and delicious mint tea. Our server even brought us a special surprise for our celebration. Overall an amazing experience we both enjoyed fully.

Been going here for decades. It's a little dated but the Morracan food is excellent and the belly dancers have always been very good and wonderfully entertaining. Dancer comes on at 8:00 or a little after. Don't go too early or you'll miss her. Limited menu of lamb chicken or vegatarian, not inexpensive but excellent!

We were there to celebrate my daughter's bday, definitely a special occasion spot. The food was delicious and our server explained every single dish that came our way. Belly dancer invited my daughter to perform a few steps, we had a blast. I will definitely come back.
