Je suis allé à ce restaurant pour un anniversaire, nous étions un groupe de 20 personnes & avons été très bien reçus Quand on y entre, on enlève nos chaussures, & on prend place assis sur un petit banc sur des tables basses. Le serveur & cuisinier, Tommy, vient nous voir & nous explique le fonctionnement du restaurant: C'est un menu fixe de plats végétariens ou de viande à partager qui sont tous plus delicieux les uns que les autres. On commence avec un hummus, ensuite un plat principal puis un dessert & un excellent thé marocain qui est servi de manière traditionnelle! Je recommande surtout pour le service & la qualité des plats! Demandez Tommy pour une super expérience.
Decor & ambiance is fun. The food was average. The lentil soup was a little blend, couscous was extremely salty, tea was way too sweet. Service was impeccable.
Fournir des babouches ou autres pantoufles aurait été très apprécié car après avoir pataugé en chaussettes sur les tapis mouillés par la neige fondue, il fallait se rechausser & affronter les -15°. Avec les pieds mouillés. Dommage ! Sinon, la serveuve était super & le repas excellent.
Wonderful authentic experience overall, amazing gluten free option. Food was outstanding, a little more attention to customers during meal for refills of water & the.
Food was delicious+ it's a set menu for 30$ each that the cooks does & changes ! Loved that I didn't have to choose & could just enjoy the experience. The cook comes & presents as well what he has prepared for that day! Very lovely would recommend

The seats may not be the most comfortable for anyone with a bad back, but the service & food & atmosphere are incredible. There appears to be mostly a small set menu, of which included a soup & pita as a starter, lovely hibiscus juice & a tea to end the courses. Great restaurant, I will definitely return!

Un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal. La nourriture est incroyable, les portions sont très généreuses (le serveur nous en a rapporté sans frais additionnels), le service est impeccable & très chaleureux & l'atmosphère nous transporte réellement dans le nord de l'Afrique. J'y retournerais n'importe quand.
Ce restaurant offre une expérience exceptionnelle avec son ambiance conviviale & son accueil chaleureux. Le concept unique ajoute une touche spéciale. Le couscous est un délice, le personnel est attentionné & compétent. À découvrir absolument!
Une expérience dépaysante, comme sous une tente venue du désert marocain, du thé, de la soupe, du couscous à tomber à la renverse... Bref! Bienvenue au Maroc Québécois !
