from GoogleThe restaurant has a warm and welcoming feeling the moment you walk in. The smell of spices, the soft Moroccan music, and the beautiful decor make the atmosphere calm and cozy. The food tastes amazing. The tagine is rich and tender, the mint tea is the perfect finish. You can tell everything is made with care and love. The staff are kind and make you feel at home. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. I left happy and already planning to come back.♥️
Right off of 14th St, you’re transported to Morocco! The Couscous Royale was INCREDIBLE! A very large portion and a variety of meats and vegetables! Everything we had was so flavourful! As someone who’s never had Moroccan food, it was such a pleasant experience, we’ll definitely be back!!
Visited this wonderful place! I absolutely love Moroccan cuisine — it’s always rich, flavorful, and filling. I was so happy to have the chance to try it here in Calgary. The food was incredibly delicious, satisfying, and beautifully presented — just amazing! 🌿✨ We were kindly informed that we might have to wait a bit longer since the restaurant was very busy, but the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the chef is truly talented — every dish looked and tasted fantastic. I really, really enjoyed it and will definitely come back again! 💛🇲🇦
This was my first time trying Moroccan cuisine, and I absolutely loved the experience. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, with perfectly balanced spices that enhanced the food without overpowering it. You can really taste the care and authenticity in each bite. The atmosphere is just as impressive, the decor is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that makes the whole dining experience feel special. Everything we tried was delicious, and I left genuinely impressed. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something unique and memorable ♥️
This is a joke! Can't be authentically Moroccan made. Any one who knows just a little about how real Moroccan food tastes won't be fooled. We ordered "Harira" the well-known Moroccan soup, however, it tastes nothing like it! We couldn't drink it. We also ordered shrimp briq "briwat", it is not even well cooked. The wrap is like a non cooked dough from inside but burnt from the outside. And it is tasteless. The "lamb saffron tajine" tastes bitter. Again nothing like a real tajine and no "saffron" has been used except the food coloring artificial yellowish one. No one in the family could eat it. In Morrocan dialect, I would say :" Allah ye3tina wjahkom". It feels very bad that people are giving this very bad image of the glorious Moroccan cuisine. Shame on you!
I’ve been coming here for 25 years. I’ve seen change of ownership and the new owners have wrecked the food. They changed the recipes they’ve taken away the ambiance I will not be coming back. It was my favourite place to go to the removed the tents above the ceiling so when you look up now, you see piping the curtains that were in front of the doors of each table entrance have been removed so it’s very open. I liked the Tent style better. They adapted the recipes. The portions are very large, but they have ruined them by changing them. I was very disappointed to say the least
The food was a joke. No taste at all. Didn’t seem like any effort was put into it.
Bad service, the server had no energy, no smile. Almost was pissed to see us there. And not all the items on the menu were available.
