El Mansour Restaurant

I celebrated my 48th birthday there and had a truly delightful and delicious experience. I chose it mainly for the food, since I hadn’t been to a Moroccan restaurant since my trip to Morocco in 2000, and I wasn’t particularly seeking the dancing. That said, the belly dancing was spectacular! She fun, engaging, and impressively close-up. The seating is comfortably low to the floor and bursting with vibrant colors.

We used a Groupon for two, but even at the regular price, it would have felt like a great value.

It was a fantastic experience with Morrocan ambience with decor, food, and music. The belly dancing show is a must see and enchanting. It starts at 7:30 so make sure to make sure before. It's a delicious 5 course meal. Bring cash for the belly dancers to show your love!

The food is terrible. The service is good. The food is not tasty at all, everything is salty and sweet. The meat is terrible. Why cook it like that??? No one will come back to you. And it's expensive for such food

This was a completely unique experience to me, and I loved it! Everything was great, my favorite was the Chicken shish-kabob. It has a nicer name than that, I mean no offense with my unreliable menu memory. I don't know if this is every night, but there was a bell dancer there. She was really good and even had the diners get involved. I hope it's alright to post her name here and I hope to see her perform again. Her name is May Yang. I believe her first name is pronounced 'my'.
