I came here upon recommendation from a friend & I was not disappointed. Quite the opposite! The ambience & the food were great, & the staff treated us really nicely. Service was fast too which I appreciated. I especially enjoyed the jalapeno poppers & the kafta. Glad I came here & would recommend it to other friends as well!
Loved the food so much! We ordered fatoush, vine leaves, taboule, thyme pita bread, & some other things as well. Service was just as good. Overall we will totally be coming back, & there was definitely enough to eat as vegetarians. Everything was all so good!
Best food ever, the muhamara was really good, the ambiance was amazing a lot of great arabic songs & we finished with some sweets & & some tea. We will come back for sure. My husband came from Toronto & he loved it.
I recently visited Mirage Restaurant, & it was a delightful experience, as always. The ambiance is charmingly Moroccan, with decor that captures the warmth & vibrancy of Morocco! I always enjoy their half chicken served with perfectly seasoned rice & as entry I love their lentil soup. The flavors were authentic & rich, clearly crafted with high-quality ingredients & traditional techniques. Our waitress was incredibly warm & attentive. Overall, the service was excellent, & the food quality consistently impressive.
Very nice environment, beautiful decorations. The food was delicious & beautifully designed. They offered free tea & baklava since it was their 7th anniversary of opening this restaurant.
