Marrakesh Restaurant Review

: Relax on plush cushions, recline against fabric-covered walls, watch the undulating belly dancer, and enjoy an exotic Moroccan experience as your waiter pours a watery ablution over your hands from a copper pitcher. The food generally matches the drama of the ambience. It’s possible to order à la carte, but most diners opt for the fixed price feast. It includes lentil soup; a mixed salad plate; sweet and savory b'stilla, a flaky pie filled with chicken and pungent spices, and sprinkled with powdered sugar; plus a choice of entrée. These are predominantly hearty tagines (Moroccan stews of lamb, chicken or hare), couscous dishes, and a variety of brochettes. Larger groups can order the dramatic mechoui, a traditional whole sheep grilled over a spit. Finish your culinary immersion with a pitcher of steaming mint tea accompanied by nutty baklava.

Rude service ruined our evening

I deeply regret the evening I spent at Marrakesh. The food was OK although overcooked, but the service was very poor. My wife and I left feeling like we had been ripped off and it spoiled what had been planned as a special occasion.
