Beautiful restaurant! The food was amazing as well as the drinks. The lamb sausage was our favorite! The best part of it all was that the service was impeccable. Both the server and the restaurant manager really made an impression on us.

It has a hookah bar in the back which is apparently very expensive. I caught an occasional whiff of it and could hear all the dancing from where I was sitting. The decorations are cute and the ambience is nice. The mint tea was $10 per person, which I consider pretty pricey for the experience. The waiters were very attentive with us and making sure we got what we needed. The food itself was very good and sweet, but the salad was kind of weird since the cheese came in huge chunks and it was not tossed.

I can’t speak on authenticity of the food but it’s flavor is a bit disappointing. More attention is given to presentation and atmosphere than the actual flavors. The decor and overall atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. The staff was attentive and courteous. The vegetable portion for the steak entree is ridiculously small. I literally got only 3 small pieces of mushrooms, 3 small slices of carrots, about 4 to 5 string beans and 2 small broccoli. The steak was a decent size and was “well done” just as I ordered. The fries were are delicious though they also came in a small portion size bowl. Overall it’s was an”okay” experience. Nothing special.

Name has changed to Dunes Club in February 2023. Fantastic food! Same chef as Arabesque. Terrific service. Updated decor, modern Moroccan vibe.

The food here is very good although I’m told that it’s not particularly authentic. Service is friendly, but unrefined. They offer hookah and the back room is reserved for belly dancing shows after 9 pm. The restaurant does a nice job giving it’s guests a Moroccan style dining experience, so if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s worth a try.

We didn’t have a terrible experience here tonight, just an above average one. On the plus side, the ambiance was pleasant, we arrived early at 8pm on Saturday and the place was quiet. It did start to fill up by 9pm. Cocktails were great and the food was a bit better than average (for those looking for an authentic Moroccan meal, this might not be the place). Staff were accommodating. Good place for a 1st date. Appetizers were average. Nothing mind blowing, but not unpleasant. Mains are good for 2 but again, you won’t be disappointed however certainly don’t expect to be blown away.

If you want to have a Great Hookah with great entertainment and belly dancer, with good food and an EXCEPTIONAL service and ambiance and positive vibes, then look no further!!!! This is by far the BEST restaurant I have been in New York . They have an authentic Moroccan cuisine with THE BEST HOOKAH EVER!!!!! (Usually I would get headache with hookah but this did not give me one and I am thrilled) Make sure to get the hookah with the pineapple head. The waiters/receptionist were AMAZING and attentive. We had great time and Will definitely come back again!!!

Great ambiance. Great food. Great alcohol. All the employees were very friendly. There was live music, and we had great fun interacting with the owner and the singer. The food was delicious. The bartender was very friendly and made great drinks.

Beyond excellent food with exquisite flavor. Served piping hot (don’t burn your mouth!) and surrounded by Moroccan themed decor. The staff was very nice and there was also a belly dancer that made an appearance. I definitely recommend any of the tajine’s. Hope this helps!

We went to this restaurant to celebrate my sister’s birthday and I absolutely loved the place. I love the way it is decorated, the staff was wonderful and the food was also very delicious. We had a big group and everyone enjoyed their meal. Definitely recommend the place and if I was a big Manhattan person would definitely return.
