The food is simply amazing.  Absolutely the best couscous I have ever had, beautifully prepared and graciously served.  The staff is wonderful.  The restaurant has healthy options if you need them (I did, they were excellent).  I ate here multiple times during my stay in Paris and hope to return!

I've been in Paris 7 days and this is the 1st time that I was asked to leave  a restaurant because "SOMEONE" was waiting for a table.  Not sure if this was because we were tourists or 2 women??

I would have understood if they told us ahead of time and we knew our time constraints..but they did not.

Go somewhere else, where they appreciate your business!

How much frites can you handle? After a couple of days, in Paris we were craving something other than bistro food.  This was our first time with Moroccan cuisine and hit the spot. The table was set with condiment dishes of two types of olives, almonds and citrus melange of carrots and other vegetables. We started with Moroccan salad consisting of peeled tomatoes, cucumber with a lemon cilantro dressing - the taste of which was reminiscent of salads in coastal Mexico.  Tagine is a stew presented in a clay pot. I had tagine of lamb and fig. My wife had tagine of chicken and eggplant.  Couscous on the side. The juices from the stew were accented with different spices. The lamb fell off the bones. The chicken was tender. 

The service was friendly and attentive.  Not a place you would think of but highly recommend.

Had my last dinner in Paris here and was not disappointed.  The food here is excellent, particularly the tajine dishes and couscous.  My party loved the cozy atmosphere here and the convenient location.  The restaurant is walking distance from the Arc de Triompe and Champs-Élysées.

Lots of whiner reviews for this place out there.  Ignore - this place is solid.

Went with my 20 yr old foodie son.  Had pigeon pastilla and merguez for apps.  Sausages were amazing and the pie was very good.  Its seasoned with sugar, which I didn't expect but did work.

Then had a tagine (chicken and olives with preserved lemons) and a couscous (more merguez).  The portions are massive.  3 cups+ of perfect couscous, with tons of vegetables, and optional spicy sauces.  And that was just the foundation for the sausage or the tagine.

The tagine was perfect.  The dishes themselves are very old.  Creates a caramelized base under the chicken that is amazing - dig to the bottom.

The half bottle I had of Moroccan wine was really good - totally unexpected.  No room for dessert.

Staff was welcoming and professional.  Was easy to get around language barriers.

If you want a fun break from French food this is worth a visit.

No! Hated this, food was standard and was expensive. Don't do it.

Tried because of the great ratings but was highly disappointed.
1. We were given water in a carafe that had a fly in it and as we sat and ate there were a ton of gnats flying around us.
2. We three different dishes that were eh ok. I've had better.
3. It was too pricey and not worth it. We each spent about 25 EU for just an entree no wine, no drinks!

This is, by far, the best moroccan meal I've had. I'm no expect when it comes to moroccan food, but its probably one of my favorite cuisines; I even have my own tagine. This particular restaurant is so good that this was the only restaurant specifically recommended to me on my first visit to Paris. I ordered a tagine with lamb and the couscous, and they did not disappoint. The aroma was genuinely uplifting, but the blending of the sweet elements of plum and golden raisin with the savory lamb and perfectly prepared couscous was what made this meal memorable.

Raw food. Expensive. Won't go. Don't speak English and took the food back to reheat. Terrible

After a week of French Food I had to change it up and hunt down this place. Super easy to get too, and the service is amazing. 

I would suggest going with others and sharing.. Get cous cous.. and a tajine. 


The Moroccan tea is delicious! Go easy on the spicy sauce. 

A definite must try

Good but not great. The service is excellent - 5 out of 5 stars but the food is just average, especially for the price (it's near Champs Elysées so obviously it will be a bit pricier). Maybe it was just the night I ate there but the food was a bit bland. Good ambiance though so overall 3 out of 5.
