The lamb tajine with artichokes was truly excellent, the lamb succulent. The vegetables with the couscous were so tender. It reminded me of the tajines I'd eaten in Morocco and made me sad that I don't have a Moroccan restaurant like it where I live (not Montreal). More people should come and eat here. And don't be like the guy who got fries here, then gave the restaurant one star because they were soggy. Buy your fries at McDonald's, then buy real food at this restaurant.

Nice family style restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. My husband had the olive tagine, i had the royal couscous. The food is fresh, the portions are generous, the price is quite reasonable. We were happy with the service we got. We will certainly come back.

I didn’t know anything about this company until my cousin sent me a link by email from France .I had a look and to be honest since then, I have been doing my purchases from them. I have had no issues till date and hopefully won’t in the future too.

I was ok with my choice of restaurant but my wife found the service to be ordinary. Other than that the food was excellent and great ambiance. Nice place to spend time with family, friends at a very reasonable price.

Good food...missing a little touch to be true Moroccan tho...hadira soup usually has beaf cubes in it and more chickpeas in it, the pastila should have almonds in it...less fat on the chicken, both in the pastila and the tagine...but I'm cheating, my wife is Moroccan so I guess restaurant will never be like home cooked meal. Ambiance was great...true Moroccan artifacts everywhere. The servis was exreamly fast and prompt...we never waited we were saved rapidly and proper. I would recommend a try if you want a taste of Morocco, you will not find better around.

The food was very good. The service was very quick, but it was hard to get a hold of the waiter. I had to go fetch him in the kitchen to get mayo for the fries.

Incroyable service pour une table de 12 personnes annoncée à la dernière minute! La nourriture était succulente, le thé à la menthe agrémentait parfaitement le repas et les assiettes étaient juste de la bonne taille. Pour plusieurs personnes de notre groupe, c était une introduction à la nourriture marocaine et ils n ont pas été déçu.

We feel like guests everything is good, the Tagines (we especially like the chicken with olives, the Pile Pile shrimp but everything is a good choice), the Couscous, everything is homemade and authentic, and not too spicy if youre not used to it (ask for harissa if needed!) The welcome, the smile, the mint tea and the perfectly reasonable prices are the little extras that make us come back often. Plus, the team seems happy to work together! It s a BYOB. Thank you for everything !

I order a filet mignon I specify: white rice, and no spices on the fillet. Here comes the yellow rice, the filet mignon full of spices. In addition to the fact that the meat is full of tiraces, this is CLEARLY NOT a filet mignon.

I ordered with Uber a lamb couscous and a balaclava and I received a beef couscous and chicken broth with my balaclava, the couscous had no flavor. The balaclava was probably some of the best Ive had, it seemed to be homemade. In their defense I ordered a few minutes before they closed but still they should have canceled the order instead of botching it, this is the last time I order from this place... The most disappointing thing is is that it was the first time I left a tip at a restaurant with Uber (in addition to the tip for the delivery person)

The salad was drowned in vinaigrette. there was no sauce with the skewers. the bread for the chicken tagine was not pita bread it looked like giant Ritz or Breton biscuits and was not good. the tagine was drowned in salt and dry chicken. Weve ordered the same thing before and it was so much better the first time. so this will be our last time.

My lamb tagine with prunes was honestly absolutely delicious. Reasonable portions and very well prepared and good quality ingredients; the bread was excellent and the tea well balanced. We even took the time to answer questions I had about Morocco for my term paper! I might as well tell you that if I could leave a sixth star, well I would :)

I am absolutely charmed by this restaurant. Finally a foreign restaurant...really foreign. Its been a long time since Ive tasted a beautiful culinary difference as exquisite as at Aziz (thats the owners name, which I probably spelled wrong), he cooks and serves us after having of course advised us. A restaurant like this makes me sad not to live in Sherbrooke. And although the lamb tagine is perfectly succulent, I will come back as soon as possible to taste something else. Hurry!!!
