This place is great. I went with 2 friends. We ended up getting a vegetarian tagine, a chicken tagine, and a lamb tagine with apricots. All were amazing! Aromatic! Tasty! We immediately understood why this place is rated the #1 restaurant in Madison on Trip Advisor!
We also got the baklava, which was to die for! The mint tea was delicious as well.
The food was perfect and our waitress was the owner and the chef! She was very friendly and welcoming. We felt like we were family.
I returned another time and had the vegetarian couscous! It was amazing.
Both times I went it was super busy. The service was fine! I don't know what people are talking about. It's not a fast-food chain, obviously, it might take 15 minutes for your food to come out.
