Everything we tried was delicious. The couscous royal was generous & perfectly balanced, & the lamb shank tajine was slow-cooked to perfection. The chicken tajine with pickled lemon & olives was fragrant & flavorful. Excellent service & a very cozy setting.

Nous avons passé une super soirée ! La danseuse orientale était géniale! En plus d'être talentueuse & magnifiquement jolie, elle a su faire danser tout le monde ! L'ambiance du restaurant nous a charmé dès notre entrée & la nourriture était bonne également. Je n'ai rien de négatif à dire sauf peut-être l'incompréhension de devoir faire appel à des fake reviews. À la lecture de ceux-ci, j'ai pensé annuler la réservation par peur de m'être faite avoir. Au final, bien contente de ma soirée !
