Felt like a journey to North Africa! Love the hospitality and the atmosphere.
The Moroccan coffee was very potent and gave me coffee high but was balanced with floral flavour and without being overly roasted. I had vegetarian soup and couscous. All very tasty and satisfying.
Service was outstanding. The staff genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great experience and even sent the belly dancer to talk with us after the show. The show was definitely the highlight!

We came on a Saturday night.  They were very busy, but they were able to find us a spot at the bar without a reservation.  So thank you.

The drinks were superb.  The food was also great.  The belly dancer had a performance.  It was a nice time.

Amazing experience for the eight of us (they take reservations online). I tried the vegetarian sampler which had ample quantity and variety of delicious dishes. Every dish had a different taste which made it quite exciting to try. The eggplant dish and lentil dish were particularly excellent. My friends who tried the meat dishes also enjoyed their meals. The restaurant had beautiful decorations and was busy but we could have conversation at a normal volume. The servers were kind and attentive. They brought a complementary birthday dessert for our friend. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for special occasions!

The Vegetarian Sampler Platter offers a good variety of starters but it was not up to my expectation. Most food came in very heavy spices and the taste got too complex. Most starters are salty. The pumpkin one was too sweet. The soup was okay. No complaints to go with bread. Lamb shoulder is the best. Juicy and tender. The sauce was a bit salty as well but definitely saved our dinner.

The food is delicious and hearty! :)
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff passionate about what they serve. This is it if you're looking for a spot that serves authentic Moroccan flavors. I recommend trying their Moroccan Sampler; it can be enough to be full even for two people :D
Nice selection of tagines and drinks. The prices are quite nice in comparison with other places from Michelin guide in Vancouver.
