Food - quite dry ,undersalted and uninteresting ,maybe lacking in freshness and spicing. Service - unfriendly if not speaking their own lingua. Atmosphere - very plain and uninteresting as well.

August 24, 2024

We came here 2 person. We ordered some sardine and one sea bass nothing specific. We told them to cook the sea bass very well done since i cant eat anything raw. Service is horrible no communication they throw the plates in front of the customers without even a word!! even though we said we want the fish very well cooked it was undercooked and in blood! When you tell them kindly to cook it more you will receive an attitude. This place is under smell and smoke i won’t mention about the toilets. Very very expensive for nothing. Never coming back again 👎🏻👎🏻

The place is amazing. Good value for money. Wonderful flavours within a typical Moroccan fish and seafood restaurant. The only drawback I’ve got to mention is the fact that they don’t accept credit cards. And you don’t realize this until you’re about making a payment. For sure, there must be a reason, but regardless , you may find yourself in an awkward situation if you don’t keep yours in your wallet

We had dinner yesterday in this Moroccan restaurant, me and my husband, and the experience was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and all at a very affordable price. The grilled sardines imported from Morocco are a favorite, a real treat! As a bonus, the owners, who were very kind, offered us an excellent bissara as a starter, perfect to start this meal in this winter season. We recommend!!

Very poor service. Poorly managed tables; you will find groups of 2 people seated at tables of 5 and vice versa. The people who work there act as if the customer is a nuisance; neither hello, nor any word when serving the plates. These same plates are almost thrown in front of the customer. I have known this restaurant since its creation; a great degradation of quality, for an increase in prices which is not proportional to what they offer.

I ate with my family at this restaurant and was looking forward to a special experience, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing. We had a problem with the quality of the food, as the fish was not fresh and there was an unpleasant aftertaste in some dishes. After eating the meal, we all experienced digestive issues, which greatly affected our day. We hope to improve the quality of food and customer service in the future to ensure a better customer experience.

Impeccable service, very friendly, undeniable cleanliness, comfortable table and cushions for small families, pure Mediterranean decor, for the dishes I tried fried whiting, shrimp and squid, the cooking is good and a good quality of fish on the other hand there had a little too much oil, a good bean soup with olive oil and cumin bissara was served at the beginning, I tried a grilled sardine, it was good despite the fact that I love sardines from large sizes for a particular dish, sardines are small, there are some who prefer them like that. In any case, a very nice experience and I recommend it

The restaurant is clean and the fish doesnt smell, so its fresh. As a starter we were served split pea soup, or rather a velouté which was good but not hot. I had fried sardines which were fresh, with an appetizer and rice. The rice was good but cold. The price is right.

I took takeaway for the first time in this restaurant, the young man who served me is very courteous and welcoming, the fish is fresh and well cooked. The accompaniment is copious and varied: salad, rice and soup The prices are ridiculous compared to the competition which is not necessarily up to par with this simple and warm restaurant. I highly recommend this place.

I give 3 stars not about the food. But more to the behavior of the owner at the time of payment, he asked me a slightly strange question how many bowls of soup did you have. I understood after the question was asked, because the total of our bill was $29 and that wasnt to his liking. According to him, you have to order more than $36 to get the famous soups. We didnt even ask for this soup, its the waiter who serves it to all the customers at the restaurant, not just us For my part, this will be the last time I go to this place.

December 23, 2023

I recently went to this restaurant and was very disappointed with the service. The restaurant forgot several items from my order (soups, bread and utensils). Initially, I was told that there was no more bread, but when I realized that the soups were also missing, I came back before I hit the road, on returning, I noticed there was bread and when I pointed this out the person told me they had just bought it, although only 1 minute had passed since I left and returned (it was 9:40 p.m. ). When I expressed my concerns about all of this, the checkout staff reacted in a very rude and aggressive manner, telling me that I was only ordering two plates and asking me to leave in a derogatory and most unfortunate manner. is the use of aggressive Moroccan language ( )..It was a very unpleasant experience and the customer service was unacceptable!
