| - Service - Pretty close to a 5*. Quite attentive and hospitable! They do take their time in terms of collecting empty plates, ordering, and at times, delivery of food. Atmosphere is more relaxed and there is no need to rush out.
Food - Is like a 3-3.5*, based on what I had which was the Merguez (sausage) plate. I ordered this based on another Yelper's review. Sausages were tasty, but it was sort of out of proportion to the rest of the plate. The sausages sat on top of waaay too much rice and the other half of the giant plate was an ok-salad.
Highlights: Moroccan mint tea ($1.50) and the flat bread that's crusty on the outside.
Rice was also cold, so I couldn't eat it. I didn't want to bother staff to reheat it since I was semi-full, so I just ended up packing it up.
I also shared the Zaalouk Warm Salad with my friends. It was good too. Overall, food is more home cooking as nothing was over salted.
My friends ordered the Lamb with Prunes ($12) that had this interesting raisin, prune, and caramelized onions and Moroccan Lemon Chicken ($12), both were served in tagines. These dishes had more interesting and different flavours that aren't common. I'd definitely recommend these 2 dishes before the sausages 'cause it just literally tasted like 3 small-medium sausages on a koobideh (Persian) rice. Again, I couldn't eat that much of it 'cause it was cold.
Prices are GOOD though and portions. They just hafta work on the proportions of carbs vs. protein.
