Casablanca Authentic Moroccan Cuisine

First time trying Moroccan Cuisine so I cannot comment on how close the food is to that served in Morocco. I felt the pricing was on the higher side when compared with the quality and quantity of the food server.
Service was great and the complementary picked olives served were amazing!

A small restaurant with very nice Moroccan decor inside. The menu is very simple with choices of couscous or tajine as a main course.
They bring you complimentary fresh bread and olives before your meal.
The Chicken tajine was good with fall-off-the bone meat, however it was very small compared to the price: one thigh piece and one drum piece for almost 30$. No sides included in the meal...
Overall we had a nice experience, but the price vs quantity is not on point in my opinion.

Very nice people, but the meal was overpriced and small portions. Something I could've made at home myself.

Very authentic restaurant on the 1st floor. Various tagines and even pastilla (we were told that it takes 45 minutes to make) typical peppermint tea, which was traditionally poured. Highly recommended! Not far from Springgarden Road in the middle of the city, an island of relaxation. Arabic background music, pleasant room temperature (not terribly cold.)

Fantastic dinner with great service. The vegan tagine was beautifully cooked and the vegetables fresh. The kefta tagine was superb - delicious sauce and meatballs. The side of rice was the perfect accompaniment. Tagine takes time but is so worth the wait.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options along with gluten and dairy free dishes. The menu is well marked to identify all of these.

Food is really good and the chairs are so comfy and perfect for your happy food dance

This place offers a unique dining experience. The Moroccan burger is one of the best we’ve ever had. This experience made our visit to Halifax exceptional. The service is lovely and personalized, with warm and welcoming staff. The atmosphere is cozy, and the small size adds to its charm. You wouldn’t expect such top-tier dining here, but it stands out. The Moroccan cuisine, which was voted best in the world this year, lives up to its reputation. I wish they had more locations in Canada. If you enjoy delicious and unique food, visit this gem. It’s some of the best food I’ve had in Canada.
Keep up the good work ?

Tried here on a beautiful Wednesday evening in early July 2024. Had reservations for 6pm. We arrived a bit early, probably 5:45, and were greeted immediately. The young server advised us to head upstairs for our table (there are two smaller ones downstairs when you come in the door, but they seem to be used more for other purposes and would be too close to the door to be relaxing). Upstairs has a casual, but definite Moroccan vibe with two, four & six-seater tables, total capacity of 28 I believe? We took a corner table that was a soft booth with cushions. The room painted red & black for the most part, was very warm. The staff turned on the heat pump AC as we sat down and it took awhile to be felt, but at least they had that. Within the hour that we sat there, two other tables filled up, but the place remained very quiet.
Food: You get a small plate of white type of bread, which in size would be equal to a large piece of toast, but cut into small segments, still attached, but tearable. It had nothing to dip it in, but I found was fine to just eat as is. A small ramekin of a specific type of marinated olives to snack on, were ok, maybe six or seven of them. started with the traditional Moroccan salad ($25/set) - which is served in a beautiful platter, and held probably about 2/3 cup of each six varieties of salads. The masala caramelized pumpkin is a puree with sesame seeds on top and had the strongest flavor of all the options. My friend didn't love it, but I liked it for just being different, in a very difficult way to explain (we tried figuring out the notes while sitting there, and couldn't LOL). She liked the marinated carrots & potato salad most of the six. The Zaalouk grilled aubergline had a smoky flavor. The beetroot salad was more on the blank side, diced pieces that had an herb, but mild for sure. The machouia grilled bell pepper to me tasted & looked like the eggplant one, but was good. All served cold. My friend's main was the chicken mihamer ($25 - chicken leg with pistil of saffron, meslalla, olives & lemon confit). It was a very beautiful dish, looked well made, and she had no complaints. A good size. My vegan couscous main ($24 - seven vegetables, onion marmalade & chickpeas) was also well presented, a fairly large size, full of flavor. It had a few dates & almonds on top. I decided in advance to eat half and take half home in a doggy bag, which wlil be my leftover lunch today. Although the menu is small, I'd definitely go back here.
Friendly service.
Street parking is hard to get so try Park Lane.
Accessibility: there ARE the two tables on the main level which I am sure they would make available, but a couple of steps to get into the restaurant, so not technically accessible inside. I see photos from other people where there were two outdoor tables set up in the past, which may be an option (although they weren't set up yesterday).

Pros: authentic Moroccan food and music, delicious food, great service, cozy comfortable space
Cons: small space/not many tables so it could be too crowded to get in

Be aware Moroccan is not fast food; if you're in a hurry, eat somewhere else. If you can wait for your food this place is worth it. The space is very cozy and comfortable. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a tasty meal with your favorite people. The bathroom is rather nice, clean and pleasing to the eye. Most of the seating is upstairs, but they do have a table downstairs. Please give this place a try; the time and $ are worth it!

Vegetarian options: They have a vegan tagine. You can get sides of rice or couscous too.

Parking: Park somewhere else and walk. There is space for a single vehicle to park on the street, but I really can't recommend that for anything other than quickly picking up a to go order.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not really wheelchair accessible but maybe you can eat at the table downstairs? I'm sure the kind server would oblige you if you asked.

Delightful experience which took us back to our trip to Morocco in the spring. Great authentic food tastes, from staff who care about your experience. The upstairs is the best seating, but could be problematic for people with walking disabilities. The Moroccan spices are NOT HOT like Indian food, they are more subtle and varied. They also use honey, cinnamon, nuts, and and other flavours in their cooking. As you enter the restaurant you even get the fragrant spell of Moroccan blossoms. Our blog article on yesRetired provides insights to our spring trip if you search for Morocco.
