Fantastic dinner as always! Brought family from out of town who had been looking forward to dining here again after their first visit last year! Super attentive and friendly service. There's a reason you're my favourite!!

My second time in. The ambiance is great as well as service. Ordered sampler for two- carrots salad felt like soaked in the soap water. Main meal chicken, was mediocre. They didn't have the duck that I wanted to order. But stuff was very friendly and nice! Will come back.

The food, atmosphere, and service is AWESOME. It feels like you are actually in a restaurant somewhere in Morocco. I highly recommend that anyone who is even remotely interested in GOOD food should try the this restaurant. The traditional drinks are also EXCELLENT!

Food was great as always but service was poor. I asked repeatedly for bread to come for the table to accompany our tajines. When it finally came they brought one piece of bread for two people. I asked for more and they eventually brought one more piece of bread, but not before I had to repeat my request. Usually an order of bread is a few pieces in a basket. Twice we sat with empty wine glasses and had to flag someone down to take our order for more wine. Not the service I'm used to in this great restaurant! Pretty disappointing as I brought a friend for her first time and she said she won't be back.

Absolutely delightful! I started with their lemon drop martini which was outstanding, then had the chicken with apricots tagine as my main . Both the cocktail and the tagine combined lovely flavours and were absoutely delicious! The service is fantastic, the wine list was surprisingly extensive and I found a very nice Italian Pinot Grigio. We were surprised when a lovely dancer performed later in the evening, but it was really fun and charming! Fantastic evening - love this restaurant.
The service was amazing! Everyone was so happy to explain to us the different dishes and the went above any beyond when they came out to sing happy birthday to the group as a few of us were celebrating. The entertainment was an added bonus!

Our evening at Moltaqa was unforgettable. As a foodie, every dish just blew my mind. From the presentation, to the simple and high quality ingredients creating such unique and flavourful dishes, leaving me wondering where I'm going wrong with my own cooking, I was in awe. If we weren't just visiting this would for sure be a monthly spot so I could try every dish they offered. The halalel half chicken, tomato salad and soups were the standouts but I find myself listing every dish we had because they were all that amazing. The staff were a mix of very endearing, considerate staff. They went out of their way to make it such a rememberable night for us.
Had a great time at Moltaqa!! Great vibes, Good music, Energetic, Good selection of cocktails and dishes from Morocco! The homemade lamb merguez and lemon and olive chicken tagine are delicious!! Definitely make a reso as it gets busy quick! Will be back soon..?

The tagine was amazing and so was the chilled eggplant dip. The belly dancing show happens twice on Friday & Saturday nights at 730 & 930. Awesome vibe with good cocktails too.

Had the loveliest birthday dinner, ordered the vegetarian sampler platter so we could all try different appetisers/soups, the mains were generously portioned and extremely delicious. The flambéed rack of lamb was juicy and tender - the little fire show was a plus. The spicy harissa half chicken with rice was seasoned just right. My personal favourite was the spicy meatball tagine! Loved the flavours and the spice in it. Would definitely visit again - the staff and ambience was delightful.
Terrific ambiance, plenty of friendly, professional staff attending to our needs. The best lamb tagine we've ever had. We'll definitely be back to sample more of the menu.

Outstanding as always. Moltaqa offers something else than any other Vancouver or Yaletown restaurant. We loved our experience. Kofta tagine is my favourite. Cocktails are flavourful and unique. Arabic playlist is well selected.

Absolutely incredible experience WOW! The restaurant is stunning, food is impeccable, service was excellent and the dancers were beautiful! Top notch! Best lamb we have ever had and the seafood tagine was next-level!

The atmosphere makes you feel like you are not in Canada- which is great! The service was attentive throughout the meal. The portions are large and can easily be shared. The main dishes were very tasty. Overall a fun experience and good value!

Great ambience, good service. We set at the corner table and we're able to see the whole place. Loved their music too- it was authentic but with modern twist. Food was good. Overall great place especially if you are looking for something different then steak house?
