Located in the entertainment and shopping Mecca, Covent Garden, this perfect getaway after a busy day or night . Enjoy an authentic Morrocan dining experience, cocktails, indoor and outdoor shisha .

There’s not one bad word I can give for my experience here. I shared one of the set menu meals and it was to die for. So much food at such a good price. Lovely staff too and beautiful atmosphere.

50% off the Feast menu if you have a taste card even on a Friday night, super friendly staff, great belly dancing performance and very nice food! Super sweet mint tea though!

A regular Aladdin's cave in terms of decor, with very good, albeit expensive, food. A Gourmet Society or Taste Card will offset the cost but restrict you to set menus. An excellent restaurant.

Located in the entertainment and shopping Mecca, Covent Garden, this Moroccan oasis is perfect after a busy day . Enjoy authentic Morrocan dining, cocktails, indoor and outdoor shisha .

Mixed mezze to try a little bit of everything, love the decor and music playing, feels like you’ve left London

Absolutely delicious food and great service provided by the waiting staff. Recommended!
John DiddyOctober 26, 2012
Fabulous experience! The energetic Belly Dancer is a nice touch... Might take it up as a hobby. :)
Simon GrayMay 5, 2013
Set menu is good value as you get refills, BUT service deteriorated badly when it got busy - so much so that there was no time for us to eat our second helping! Pity really ...
Heather KnightApril 22, 2011
Go for the set menu; you get loads of different dishes to try and free refills. The lamb + apricot tagine is amazing.
Elias GerstmayrJanuary 31, 2017
Nice atmosphere. Try the mixed meza. The shisha is an electric one.

Been here 10+ times
Authentic food even if not always "spot on". Great atmosphere & interior decor, you'll feel as if you're in Morocco.

Very good belly dancing and lamb the rest are not recommended!
Sophie R.May 11, 2011
Great deco and tasty food. Such a shame the staff kept on bitching about everyone around in french thinking no one could understand them...
Tony CharlesDecember 26, 2018
Feels very exotic inside and the food is very good.
Meli HJuly 27, 2013
Using a taste card this is perfect. So much food but not 100% authentic. Plus a belly dancer!

Moroccan mint tea there was nice, fresh, and cheap. it was just £ 2.50 per (big) pot and people there were nice. Recommended

the fiest menu choise is really confusing :)
Catherine TorelliNovember 21, 2014
The chickpeas and couscous is great, the meats fell flat. Was here often in 2006. Not the same. Too crowded, expensive and not as good as I recall
Justin FinkelsteinOctober 22, 2011
Just had dinner with six friends. Incredibly noisy, surly service (we had to ask twice to have our table cleared) and very bland food. If you have the set menu, they do free top-ups. Good baklava.
Vasco ViciniMay 11, 2016
The service is awful (enough for not going back), the place could be lovely but it's often empty and sad. A table of four is just agreeing with my statement!
Sadz RamliDecember 14, 2018
Loved the food and atmosphere
Adrián Géza VeressJuly 31, 2016
shisha is electric, cider tastes super fruity
Lucie ZahradnickovaJanuary 4, 2016
The electronic shisha tastes great
Ruth WealSeptember 20, 2013
The spicy potatoe starter/snack is heavenly!
Conor OsborneAugust 17, 2010
Absolutely fantastic and well priced set menu on the last page of the menu.
Emma QuinnJune 15, 2012
Fresh mint tea is NOT made with fresh mint, but you're still charged as though it is. Not recommended!
JM FSeptember 18, 2011
Contrary to the bitching comment, I got good service open to my special asks and not pushy. Shame the merguez were average. You feel they control ingredients costs. ut good experience for the price.
Robert CharnockMarch 16, 2010
Great Moroccan place. Try to get the upstairs area for a large group and order a banquet! Read more
Nina RitchieDecember 14, 2011
Explain a gin and tonic is one drink, and not in separate classes!
Lorenzo BernardiJuly 18, 2010
It's ok when not to busy but avoid it on very busy nights all you want be able to choose from the menu but will only get the set menu. Nice atmosphere.

Not the best "Moroccan" food I have tasted. The food tasted more like bland and old Indian curry. The place looked nice and that's the only good point. Will not be returning there again!
Mohammed MeahAugust 31, 2010
Really nice looking place and amazing interior. However, service was slow, it was far too dark upstairs and food was a bit bland, which was surprising for Moroccan food.
John DiddyOctober 26, 2012
Belly Dancing through December 2012
Denise AndrewsDecember 16, 2012
Really nice food. 50% off with Tastecard
Masha FleurusNovember 18, 2019
Very bad value for money, even with 50% discount. The main was alright, but the starters and dessert not recommended.
Tim GomersallMarch 16, 2010
Good place for a first date, but not quite the same since shishas were banned!
Andy SiddiqiMarch 15, 2011
Unique venue for a night out!
GeriApril 18, 2013
If you have a Taste Card watch out for the service charge added before the discount! Tiny bit rude.
Shyam RadiaOctober 28, 2011
Terrible experience. Food was tasteless. Service was poor and the seating and lighting weren't great either. Didn't enjoy my experience at all
Michelle DrouseOctober 30, 2009
Get the £20 fixed menu-good value for money!
Neil MerchantDecember 12, 2010
Cramped, way to busy, tiny horrid chairs, poor choice, expensive, poor service and we were rushed to leave. Avoid at all costs!
