I randomly found this restaurant on Google Maps and decided to give it a try based on the recent reviews. It has recently reopened (a month ago) with new management.

All I can say is that I was impressed by the quality of the food, the quality of the decor and the quality of the service. All were top-notch and they went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable with my orders and the menu. The restaurant was pretty quiet as they are still relatively new after re-opening, but if word gets out, this place will be a hot destination for sure.

I can recommend the sardines as an appetizer and the lamb shank as a main dish, but all the food that I ordered was delicious. Even the free bread with onion butter to start was amazing (and unexpected).

I will definitely be going here one more time before my trip to Marrakech ends.

BEST RESTAURANT I have been to in a very long time & I have been to many! Service from the beginning to the end has been excellent. The food amazing & the cocktails delicious. The decor is modern, clean & gorgeous. It has a serene, romantic atmosphere - perfect for first dates or catch ups (where you don't have to raise your voice to be heard).
I am super glad to have chosen this gem for my birthday meal & last spot of the trip.
Highly recommend & I would come back if I was to return (I don't usually like going to the same place twice!). Usually a restaurant lacks in one area if not more, but I can honestly say overall Dameh has been perfect.

It is what a restaurant is all about. Environment. Food. Drinks. Service.

No gimmicks needed.

This was hands down one of the best restaurants we‘ve been to in whole morocco! The atmosphere, the music, the service and staff - everything is just lovely.
The cocktails were a 10/10!!!! The best we had in morocco so far. Definitely a professional barkeeper doing his magic. The food was just mmmmm an explosion of spices and tastes. The taco trilogy was amazing as well as the salmon entree and the hummus. We had an amazing evening here and recommend this place!! Its a gem

Yes yes yes yes go to this restaurant. The food is amazing. Lebanese food with a twist and truly magnificent. We had a journey of different flavours. One more delicious as the other. We ended up eating so much that for the first time this holiday we didn't have space left for a dessert. Just the more reason to to back, the sooner the better. The decor of the restaurant is modern with a thousand and one night inspiration. The staff is so friendly and cordial. They understand their profession and know the perfect balance of interaction. Such a friendly people with a passion for their job and interest in the people they are serving. I simply cannot give enough positive feedback about this place to do it justice. I know we will be going back and will highly recommend it to everyone visiting Marrakech ❤️ Ps forgot to take pictures of the Mezze we started with, make sure you get those ☺️😋
