In another world  5 Star Rating - World class

The first time I entered this restaurant, I felt like I had stepped out of Seattle, somehow had my bags packed for me, went to the airport, flown on an airplane into Morroco, left their airport, and walked into a tent where a huge celebration was being held. But this wasn't just any celebration. I sat on a huge cussion on the floor. My friends and I picked which courses we wanted to share. Water was brought to our table to wash our hands. And then we feasted on the most amazing foods. But there was still more. A Morrocan celebration just isn't a celebration without belly dancers, and since we went on a Friday (they have them their Friday and Saturdays nights) we experianced that too. If you want to go and visit a fun far away place, located in your backyard, with amazing food and atmosphere. This is the place you want to go.

You've Got To Try Marrakesh! 5 Star Rating - World class

This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a while...the food was great, my waiter was fantastic!, and the atmosphere was perfect.

I went with two of my girlfriends after work so we didn't have to worry about parking (you'll want to think ahead of time if you're driving) - we got the couscous with lamb, the honey chicken, and a vegetarian dish that I can't pronounce, but did the whole 5 course thing (we all shared) - it was a great experience if you're into trying new things and different cultures (if you want a quick American-Italian meal, you'll need to go to Spaghetti Factory, this won't be your thing)!

The prices were reasonable (its not super cheap though) - our meal I think was $80 - and that was including a bottle of Moroccan wine. Our waiter was attentive and charming - all three of us will definitely be visiting again.

I would recommend this place if you want to try something new, interesting, good, but still affordable...

Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Food, New Experience
Cons: No Complaints, we loved it!

which is good because my friends are not that diverse
until they ate their food

fun, different place to go w/friends, 4 Star Rating - Very good

we ordered their feast option (maybe had a different name), but it had all the entrees chosen for you. i'm not THAT adventurous of an eater and i liked pretty much everything! i loved the bread, the cuscus (even though it was hard to eat w/your hands), the dessert and the after dinner sugary minty tea. i wanted to try it once only using my hands, but i think i'd ask for a spoon next time. I have no clue if it was authentic.

the belly dancing def. didn't last the entire meal, but it was pretty cool...except for the creepy guy who was tipping her a lot.

Pros: different than your ordinary restaurant, belly dancing
Cons: employees did not check on table between the courses, so often times my water glass was empty

I loveeeeeeeeeee it!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

This is a good date spot, unique food, comfortable seating arrangements, and entertaining surroundings. The food was enjoyable and the staff was very friendly. A good pick when you are tired of your norms and want a nice comfortable night out.

Pros: Food, service and of course the belly dancer
Cons: Make it on time(if you don't want to rushed). They have 2 seatings time

The best moroccan food in the whole state 5 Star Rating - World class

My husband and I took my prim and proper parents to this place and we all had a great time. We ordered the "Royal Feast" and were pleasantly suprprised by how tasty each and every course was. The lentil soup was the starter--tender lentils in a creamy, spicey broth. Then the cucumber/eggplant salad was a refreshing change. The appetizer of meat and pastry was totally different than anything I've ever had before--sweet, yet meaty. We were then served 5 entrees and each was totally different--my favorites were the lamb/eggplant dish and the chicken/prune dish. Lastly, mint tea and pudding for desert. The server was very attentive to our needs (they even offered silverware, which we politely declined), all in an atomsphere that very much sealed the Morrocan experience. We'll definitely go again.

Pros: service was great(very friendly and comedian server), food just amazing
Cons: cannot complain(just try to make it on time for your reservation as they have 2 seatings time)
