Amazing moroccan food. Full of flavor, and a really exquisite atmosphere inside. Feels like you are being teleported! I highly recommend any of the lamb dishes.

Everything was great but 2 things wr not great 1/your salmon was spoiled, smelled funky. 2/ the beef kofta was wayyyy overcooked tasted like sand texture.
I should have got the lamb but experimented and got bummed.

A lot was left to be desired. My partner arrived on time and had to wait 30 minutes for another couple to finish up with their dinner. The staff seemed tense and overwhelmed. Dishes came in slowly. The restaurant's environment was unexpectedly chaotic and had very resounding music (not dissimilar from a lot of other restaurants in Vancouver, but still notable). My partner and I were forced to sit (via reso) by this very loud stringed instrument-- it was beautiful but I couldn't even eat or hear myself think. There was also a belly dancer. She was nice but again, distracted from the food. That brings me to the food. It was fine, probably on par with some other middle eastern places I'd eaten at before, but it didn't have a wow factor. However the loubia was excellent.

Some of the best food we’ve ever had while living in Vancouver. We can’t wait to go back!! To start we got the Lean Lamb Merguez, and everything about this dish was perfect. The greens were refreshing, the homemade hot sauce was incredible, and the lamb was seasoned to perfection. For our mains we got the Lemon Saffron Lamb Shank and the Cardamom Duck With Figs, Pear And Sesame Tagine both packed with flavour and falling apart to the touch.

My girlfriend and I tried Moltaqa tonight & they did not disappoint! We got the lamb merguez, which was fantastic & the harissa hot sauce was to die for! I got the cardamom duck tagine and she got the lemon & saffron lamb shank. Both dishes were great! Really solid food from the kitchen & excellent atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back!

Good food, excellent and fast service. Overall a pleasure and highly recommend. I was with my Moroccan friend and he said it felt like he was back in his grandmother’s house with the authentic interior design

Love coming here! The food is always exceptional, as well as the service. It's a nice touch to have weekend belly dancing or live music. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different than the usual boring Vancouver restaurant!

Was excited to try this spot. The food was alright. I was worried about knocking items over while I went to sit down in some of the seating since theres bowls and dishes randomly on some of the ledges.
They do have a dress code, perhaps I missed it but it isn't written anywhere from what I could see.
After I sat down and was ordering they had mentioned to me theres a dress code. And asked me to remove a hat to continue to dine there. They should be transparent about this. To be honest probably wont be back, it felt really unwelcoming. Lots of other restaurants in the area. I wish the best to the owners.
Their staff were kind however just not attentive.
Hope this is helpful
