Aurora provided service above and beyond any expectation. They made the meal memorable and special. The food was also great! The progression of flavors told a story that was unique to each dish but together created an adventure.

Incredible atmosphere, great wine, unbelievable food, and excellent service. Our server Mohammed took such good care of us — he walked us through the cultural traditions associated with the food and made it easy to participate. Did I mention the prices are really reasonable as well, considering all you get? 5 stars is an understatement.

The deserts are really awesome! The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth trying to taste North African cuisine!

An amazing experience! Our group did the feast option and it was exceptional, from the soup course through the pudding and tea dessert. The flavors on the main dishes were wonderful, the meat was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. Service was awesome, our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Atmosphere was also awesome, great place for a group to sit together and be able to talk. Price was perfect too! Would absolutely come again, and would recommend to anyone!

First time there with a large party and it was a bit difficult to fit around the table. The servers seemed to be struggling that evening.

Okay I am going to try to be kind. But let me start by saying ‘what always glitters isn’t gold’- this expression is so fitting for this restaurant. Beautiful in the inside- like honestly considering it is in North America and in a city like Portland that doesn’t really have authentic cultural foods, this restaurant really did try to create that cultural feeling; Morrocan decor and ambiance, they have done really well in that aspect. How ever - it stops there. This restaurant is a LITERAL INSULT to Moroccan Food. I love all things Moroccan but man!! what a way to fool people into believing this is what Moroccan food is. The chef needs to be spoken to- I’d like to have him taste Moroccan food for real. Who ever is cooking in the back is mixing some nuisance. Honestly the focus at this restaurant is just the decor and some bootleg belly dancing- apparently the belly dancer only does 5-10 min and then leaves. When we called the first day they told me the belly dancer couldn’t make it in so we switched resos for the next day and we were told she’d be performing for 45 mins at least but when we got there we were told she’s done for the night although we got there at the time quoted to us when she’ll be performing. Oh and by the way when we got there - there was no music playing and one or two people were serving tables in the whole resto like headless chickens. So fricking weird. Anyway ambiance decor wise was great. The girl serving was nice but that’s all! Never going back nor recommending it to any one unless the chef is changed out and menu is reviewed :)
Oh and tea was cold af.

A really good spot for some delicious Moroccan food that is good value for money. You will not leave feeling hungry! Thursdays seem to be the entertainment night and they have a belly dancer come in to put on a show!

Fun experience. You sit on the floor, eat unique foods with your hands and have belly dancers making their way throughout the restaurant. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an experience unlike others found in the wonderful USA!

The food is awesome and the service is amazing! I felt like I am back home in Morocco. Best Moroccan restaurant outside of Morocco.
