It was a bit hard to find. We managed to find it only because there were staff standing outside the little side street going to the restaurant. The place has a nice ambiance. Staff are friendly and accommodating. We had the foie gras ravioli, samosas, lamb, and tajine. Everything tasted delicious and was beautifully presented. The live jazz music elevated the experience. We made a reservation and I’d recommend it as the place does fill up quickly. This restaurant is an absolute must-visit during your time in Marrakech. The cuisine was exceptional, though I'd suggest being mindful of portion sizes when ordering. While the staff recommends 2-3 starters or small plates per person, we found the servings to be incredibly generous. We each ordered just one small plate to start, followed by our mains, and it turned out to be plenty of food. A thoughtful touch: they offered gluten-free beer as an alternative to their regular selection. The ambiance struck the perfect balance—warm and inviting, enhanced by live music that set just the right mood. Our server, Wallid, elevated the entire evening with his attentive service, making an already wonderful experience truly memorable. We loved coming to this restaurant! The food was amazing and the show was great! It starts at 8pm and the performances were all very good. We ordered the chicken samosas, the chicken cutlets, and the lamb shoulder. All dishes were super tasty, especially the chicken, full of flavor! Our waiter, Abdel, was attentive and kind.

Fantastic ambience and music. The riad is beautiful and adorned by amazing lights and colors. Food here is mediocre at best, with very little surprise in flavour. Pricing is fairing on the expensive end (MAD400+ per person), but the service doesn’t match the price at all. We received little to no service throughout the evening. The servers were polite but not attentive whatsoever. Having seated for over two hours, our waiter checked on us 0 times. We had to pour our own beverages, and waited close to 20 minutes for the bill. Better choices elsewhere in terms of food. Ambience is good but expect slow service.
