This was a great experience. We were greeted by a very professional and nice host. After taking our seat we were served with a jasmine, honey-mint tea; it was very smooth and delightful to the palate. The mint flavor was the topping. For starters, I ordered the 3 sampler and each sauce was profoundly unique. For the entree, I ordered the SHRIMP, & FISH IN TOMATO CHERMOULA WITH BLACK OLIVES and oh my was it a different world of flavors for me. The tomato sauce was very smooth and flavorful. The fish and shrimp tasted fresh and delicious. All of it combined with the fruity and pungent black olives was enlightening. The other dish I ordered was LAMB WITH SMEN, SAFFRON, POTATOES & PRESERVED LEMONS . This was the polar opposite of the first dish; it was full of powerful flavors and very enjoyable. The serving of rice was well seasoned and matched well with both dishes.

A gem of a restaurant, beautifully decorated in a calm, low-key relaxing vibe that enables you to partake deeply of the culinary delights they have on their menu.

The food and service here is excellent! I had the Chicken Piccata, and it was packed with flavors that blended together very well. Portion size is more than enough, and possibly could be shared. This is a lovely gem on Western Ave, I will certainly dine here again!

I ordered the boneless chicken dish that came with rice and roasted green beans. It was seasoned perfectly, very tasty and a good size portion. Highly recommend this place. I will come back with my family.

We were very unsatisfied with our order. The dishes were very small and very expensive. 1 small bowl of veggies with maybe 6 or 7 shrimp inside was almost $40. A tiny portion of lamb kababs almost $30. We were not overly pleased with the way our food tasted either.

The food is ok but the prices are up 50% which again I could swallow. However, the portions have also shrunk in half. The last cheesecake slice I got was 1/4 size of normal cheesecake for $8. Come guys seriously, it’s ridiculous.

Moroccan tagines! We had the chicken with mixed veggies in apricot and prune sauce, and the lamb with pomegranate molasses, black olives and almonds. They were just as good as they sound- savory, tender, and hot in our individual cast iron Staubs. Service was friendly, parking plentiful, and were required. Highly recommended!
