Hidden gem! Finding a place like this in the East Bay is such a treat, I'm so glad we stumbled upon it. This restaurant is such a vibe - in the best possible way. The decor is absolutely beautiful, the service is exceptional, and the food is mouthwatering. I highly recommend the honey chicken and bastilla, they were both incredible. You can tell it's a family-run business, and it truly shows. There's so much love poured into the ambiance, the food, and the way they treat their guests.
They also offer brunch, which I’ll definitely be back to try. Do yourself a favor and check it out - you won’t be disappointed!

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but the experience was very disappointing. The food was bland and overpriced. It took forever for each dish to come out, and when the entrées finally arrived, they were so lacking in flavor that we couldn't even finish them. The soda was flat, and even the mint lemonade wasn't good.
The service didn't help either the waiters were not friendly and seemed indifferent to our concerns. When the bill came, they still tried to charge us for the full amount, even though we didn't eat the entrée because of the poor quality.
The only highlight of the evening was the belly dancers, who were talented and entertaining. Unfortunately, the food and service overshadowed everything else.

We took my dad here for his 85th birthday and had a fantastic time. Everyone else has already reviewed the beautiful decor. And we thought the food was delicious! The show was great and the belly dancer was really sweet, posing for a photo with my dad, who due to balance issues couldn't go up and dance with her.
But what makes this restaurant exceptional is the service. Conor, the server was AMAZING! From the minute we walked in, he took care of everything. He gave us the perfect table with a place for my dad's walker, he took our diabetic cupcakes to the fridge (and later brought them out on a platter with a candle), he found a temporary vase for the flowers we gave our mom for Mother's Day, he did an incredible trick with the mocktail, and checked on us constantly. A super nice guy. And the owner was so awesome! He went above and beyond and even bought balloons for my dad in advance.
I loved this restaurant and we can't wait to go back and try brunch!

This weekend, we had the absolute pleasure of dining at El Morocco for their weekend brunch, and I can confidently say it was the best brunch I’ve ever had. The service was flawless, the food was pure perfection, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.
I’m notoriously picky, especially with egg dishes, but every bite was bursting with flavor and flawlessly prepared. They excel in everything from sweet to savory, with a menu so thoughtfully crafted it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. I tried both their coffees, which were rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed, and they were absolutely fantastic.
The place itself is gorgeous. It is beautifully decorated with stunning Middle Eastern carpets, lanterns, and cozy seating, making it a very charming and comfortable setting to sit and enjoy a meal. On top of the amazing brunch, they also serve traditional Middle Eastern dishes and offer a wonderful dinner menu every day, which I can’t wait to explore further.
If you are not into belly dancers, no worries. They do not have them every night, so you can call ahead when making a reservation to confirm.
After this visit, I am already planning to become a regular at El Morocco. It is an unforgettable dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone!

We found this place since the other breakfast place we wanted to go to had a 2 hour wait. I was glad we were able to get a table here. The owner was very welcoming and gave us great suggestions on what to order. There were 3 of us and we were quite hungry.
Their coffee was very delicious and made to order. It didn’t need much milk or sugar and was not too bitter which was nice. Moroccans really make good coffee. We ordered a crepe with berries and whipped cream. The crepe was well cooked and the berries and whipped cream paired nicely together. The Bastilla was a phyllo dough stuffed with ground chicken, scrambled eggs, almonds and then topped with powdered sugar. It was crispy and a different texture all together. If I were to order again I would get without the powdered sugar. The Shakshuka was the best. I could’ve ordered a few orders of that. They serve it with some flat bread you use to pick it up and with the egg on top it made it extra delicious. It was a good mix of vegetables and tomatoes and spices and it just all melded well together. Glad we found this place and hope to stop by for dinner and to watch the belly dancer next time we are in town.
Stopped by today for lunch, and I was amazed. Everything was so good, the food, service and the vibes! Definitely recommend it! First time Moroccan food and loved it.

The food is plentiful, so bring your appetite but come for the experience! @Zahara was a phenomenal dancer and awesome performer! Service was fantastic!
We dropped in for brunch. The atmosphere is really nice, a sit-down-on-floor sort of place. They have huge savory crepes and breakfast burritos, very tasty. The hash browns are unusual, both moist and crispy, sort of like onion rings. The coffee is very good, but the mimosas taste of the lower-shelf champagne- not terrible, but a bit sub-standard. It's a great experience overall.

There is no where like this place!! One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The ambience is amazing! The entire place is stunning visually, especially the seating. Nadir, the owner, is hospitable and funny. The food was amazing (best falafel ever!!) We had the best time and will definitely go again if we have the chance. Can’t recommend enough!!
