Top notch restaurant and owner, make sure you come hungry! The eggplant, spicy chicken, and honey lamb were absolutely divine! Amazing house wine and nice to finish off with fresh fruit. The rose water handwashing was a great touch too.

Incredible experience and food was just as good. Service from the beginning was attentive and friendly. $30 + 18.5% tip for the 7 course meal. Every course was delicious and a large portion. They are BYOB but also serve house wine carafes for $12 along with cocktails. They do accept card but the machine was down when we paid. Plenty of ATMs in the area. Highly recommend this place for the food, atmosphere, and service.

Food was good the 7 dishes. Most where delish. But some where ok. There was 12 of us. We where put in a tight room no space to move and we couldn't enjoy the belly dancer. We where dancing with her. But once again no space. The place is weird to find since it looks like a house and tou have to ring the door bell for them to let you in. Besides that we enjoyed ourselves. But I would not come back.

Wow… Just wow. Where to begin? This isn’t just dinner. It’s dinner, a show, and a unique and wonderful experience. When we were brought to our table, we were seated on pillows with tapestries covering the walls behind us, adding to the ambiance. We had the regular seven course meal and the vegetarian seven course meal. Every dish we tried was mouthwateringly delicious. The menu is set, but the prices CANNOT be beat., and I honestly wouldn’t change anything about the menu anyway. The service was on point, too. There were two servers taking care of us, though I suspect one is a part owner or a family relation at least. He very clearly was proud of the establishment and was very friendly and personable. A belly dancer had come into the area we were seated during dinner and performed (bring some cash to tip them) and the audience is welcomed to participate. Plan for about two hours to enjoy the full seven courses.

This place is by far my favorite restaurant in Philly during my visit. This is my first time eating Moroccon food and it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone who is willing to try food and are willing to to share. My personal favorite was during the first dish and the carrots were SO tasty. I basically ate more than half on the plate since my friends were nice enough to let me. The next one was the chicken and it was fall off the bone tender. My next favorite was the beef kabob and it was so yummy.
Seating in this restaurant are some nice couches and there is a belly dancer that comes around and is willing to teach whoever is willing to dance with her. She was super friendly.

It's definitely a UNIQUE experience, starting from entrance to exit.
Our host was the BEST. polite, courteous, extremely humble.
A seven course prix-fixe meal for three of us
Started with.
1st course - Baba ganoush , pickled vegetables - carrots & cucumbers. Extremely delicious
2nd course - Then came egg, nuts, chicken sugar pie of some sort. Very unique taste
3rd course - was chicken tajine- done to PERFECTION. falling off the bones and *chef's kiss*
4th course - was lamb on bone- OMG delicious. It had so much fragrance. With almonds and sweet tasting sauce.
5th course - couscous with lamb, potato, and raisins. By this time, we couldn't breathe. We were so stuffed.
6th course - mint tea and baklava, you could taste the freshness.
7th course - fresh fruit.
Throughout the meal, they kept coming with fresh pita basket.
Our hands were washed with rose water thrice.
I'm so stuffed but already reserving for next time!
?????
For 3 people we paid 113$ including 18% gratuity.
Extra 6th star for reasonable prices ?

This is a hole in the wall place. The atmosphere and decor inside was good. However, overall food, apart from the 1st dish (salad platter) lacked seasoning to my liking. Service wasn't really great either. Even while we were working on the plates currently on the table, the server kept trying to remove them to bring out the next course. We are glad we tried it once though, for the general experience because we haven't had a similar dining experience elsewhere yet.

Yes, food was amazing. Ambience was amazing. There was a good variety of vegetarian, as well as non-vegetarian food. Quantity was amazing. I would say skip meal before you go to this place because quantity is huge. The whole experience is something one should try once at least. We went on Saturday night, and there was a belly dancer. It was fun experience. Service was five out of five, and all waiters/waitresses were polite and nice. definitely recommend this place.

Food and experience was great but service can be improved - we had half a chicken left and asked for takeaway but the staff did not give us the chicken in our takeaway boxes. Lamb was a bit dry.

Amazing. We’re vegetarians and I have a tree nut allergy - we were well-accommodated for the circumstances and everything tasted delicious! Beautiful atmosphere, too! Would absolutely go again. I’ll be dreaming about some of this food for a while.

Vegetarian options: They have a version of their 7 course meal for vegetarians.

Dietary restrictions: Accommodated my tree nut allergy!
