It took one hour to get entrees. Never going back. Service served with a huge side portion of attitude, too. I don't care if it's cheap. The food wasn't worth the ridiculous wait. Save your time and go elsewhere.

Went there once with an open-mind...wanted to try something new. The stuffed eggplant was good but small portions for the price. rose petal lemonade was interesting...not my favorite. Service was very slow.

Fantastic North African fare in a small storefront with a half-dozen tables. Be advised that no alcohol is allowed. Service is in the European style, with time given for you to enjoy your meal; this may be off-putting for some.

Tasty food, interesting menu. Don't miss the rose-scented lemonade--very special.

Small space. When full, gets loud, loses homey atmosphere. Excellent Moroccan cuisine.
