Food was excellent & very unique. The waitress took the time & was very excited to explain the menu to us. The food came out very fast, maybe 10-15 minutes. Everything was served in clay pottery & was very pretty. The lamb I ordered was so tender & all the bread they served was handmade fresh today at the restaurant. The music was very nice & not obnoxious. The inside is very nicely decorated with greenery & & pottery. The entire staff was very friendly & smiled at us a lot & checked on us very often.
The service was great! Waitress was very friendly & helpful! The food was so flavorful & it had an amazing presentation. Highly recommend trying this place. It was definitely a very unique experience.
i tried this place while visiting from vancouver. we don't have many north african options out there so this was a really unique experience for me! the food was great & the service was spectacular. do try the gargoulette - the taste & presentation was great. i tried the lamb chicken & seafood of which seafood was my favourite! the pasta was also really delicious.
Ordered the honey lamb. The lamb came to table, in a pot, dumped onto plate, lamb fell off bone. Great presentation. I tasted all the favors, very yummy!
