Fhima's is a classy downtown restaurant with one of the more unique dining atmospheres in the metro. You feel transported upon entering the restaurant, which only feels enhanced as you get seated and get a feel for the full space with enclosed booths and unique decor. Eli is attentive to every detail and the hospitality was maintained throughout the meal.
The cocktails were great, specifically the Hanky Panky, Chocolate Chamomile Martini, and Telephone Call from Istanbul (an Old Fashioned smoked at the table). The Moroccan Mint Tonic was a great N/A option.
The food, as with any of the Fhima restaurants, is excellent. We shared the Cauliflower salad and Tuna Tartare and then had the Meshwi Chicken and Lamb Tagine. Great flavors, great presentation, and ample portions. We ran out of time to have dessert, but overall really enjoyed the meal and loved the aesthetic. It feels like the sort of space where you could lounge and hang out and make an evening of conversation.

Bartender and atmosphere were great, the food left a lot to be desired. $50 for a mediocre kefta and a ton of par boiled potatoes may be the worst deal I’ve had in a while.

Took my family here for my sons birthday. The restaurant is stunning with a wonderful bar and great atmosphere. Wonderful selection of food and drinks. The food is fantastic and the portions are both generous and delicious. Seafood Paella is divine! Wait staff is very attentive and will definitely return.

I rarely write restaurant reviews, but this experience was far too exceptional to keep to myself. From the moment I stepped into this Moroccan haven, I was transported—not just by the warm, attentive service and the inviting scent of spices in the air, but by the stunning ambiance steeped in history and original art deco charm.
The food? Unbelievably delicious. Every dish was layered with flavor, but the standout was undoubtedly the lamb. Tender beyond belief, it practically melted on the fork, infused with the perfect balance of spices that lingered beautifully on the palate. It was both comforting and exotic, a reminder of the rich culinary heritage Morocco has to offer.
Complementing the food was a curated wine list that felt both thoughtful and adventurous. The staff’s pairing recommendations were spot-on, elevating the entire meal to a fine dining experience while retaining the warmth of traditional Moroccan hospitality.
The setting itself deserves a mention: housed in a historic building, the restaurant showcases original art deco features that have been lovingly preserved. Think mosaic tiles, intricate woodwork, and softly glowing lanterns that set an enchanting tone without feeling overdone. It’s a space that tells a story—of time, culture, and artistic legacy.
This restaurant isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to savor, to celebrate, and to remember. Highly, highly recommended.

Really fun atmosphere, like a regal 20s speak easy and the food was all very interesting concept. Some of the food and bread was a bit undercooked, but the sea bass and salmon pieces in the tagine dish were phenomenal

First time going here last night, my fiance and I had a wonderful experience! The service was wonderful and the waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu! The food was fantastic. We will be returning
Absolutely exceptional dining experience. The place is stunning, the service is spectacular and the food was phenomenal. Our waiter Dezi was a delight and Eli showed us the best hospitality. A birthday for the books!

Excellent service, where you feel like part of the family! Shoutout to Eli who always makes the experience outstanding. We were traveling to Minneapolis, and after being there on my own, I took 2 different work teams, and they couldn't stop raving about the heartwarming experience. Thank you for your hospitality, and making our dinner experience unforgettable!!
