| - Let me just preface this review by stating why I'm giving it only three stars. Our waiter told one of girls in our party to "shhshhh". Totally rude because the response was unwarranted. I understand that Middle Eastern/Persian/Moroccan people have a different culture, especially towards women but, we're in Vegas damn it. And when you are a server working for tips, you are not to be dismissive. There were other things during the course of our six course meal that he did/responded to in less than attractive/rude ways. It's ashamed because the other bus boys/hand washers were polite and diligent.
We start off the cocktails, who would've guessed? LOL! Liqour-wise they're stocked but, wine-wise it's pretty much all house.
One of the highlights of the night was the hand washing. A guy came out with a kettle of warm rose water to cleanse our hands. Loved it! My hands were so soft afterwards.
Shortly after, the first course comes out. Shrimp, looked like shrimp scampi. I don't eat stuff that has lived in the water, yuck. Squiggly goo, blah. Everyone else seemed to like it though.
Next was the harira or, lentil soup. AOK. Definitely a tomato/vegetable based broth. Not too spicy, not too bland, just okay.
Third course, Hummers and eggs. More like hummus, eggplant dip, fresh vegetables, and fresh bread. The hummus was okay. The eggplant dip, okay. It sort of had a bitter salsa taste to it, quite unique. The bread was good and soothed the bitterness from the dip. I don't eat veggies, LOL.
"Where's the beef?" Guess what, beef skewers were our fourth course. I bet you weren't anticipating that. For presentation purposes, the skewers were stabbed into a fresh pineapple and had about four or five large bites of beef (assuming sirloin) on them. They were tender, juicy, smokey, and were really good.
Cockadoodle Doo was our fifth course. This was pretty good as well. Not good enough to go back to Marrakech but, good enough to order it from another Moroccan restaurant. I could tell the chicken was either slowly stewed or slow cooked in a juicy sauce for many hours. To get the flavor they attained, the chicken was obviously bone-in. So beware when chewing because it's dark in there. This dish also came with couscous. The couscous tasted as though it was simmered in chicken broth (yum) and had a near perfect texture.
Course number sex. jdofa;je;wajfewioj! Six. I don't know what the heck you call the dessert bread they served but it had fruits, nuts, and lots of powdered sugar on top. Tasty but we were all so full by then. Along with the dessert came the my second favorite thing of the night. The mint tea. It looked like battery acid but, it had this heavenly scent and flavor. I need to find out how to make this and where to buy the ingredients!!!! I could drink this battery acid-looking stuff everyday!
Hey guys and some girls, there's belly dancers that shake what their momma gave them there nightly.
As mentioned previously, it's dark in there (remember the cockadoodle doo course). In fact, when you walk through the front doors you immediately walk through large red drapes and, from there it feels like you are magically transformed into something Aladdin may have dined at back in his day. The restaurant as a whole, is small for Vegas standards, though the dining room is one large room--predominantly red, with appropriate Moroccan decor. Tables are very low to the ground and replicate a Moroccan dining experience. With that, don't expect to have a lot of privacy from other parties.
This was a new experience for most of our party. It was fun but, our waiter was rude. Hopefully, you don't get him. Otherwise, foodwise, ambiance, entertainment, and price I would've rated it four stars. Our prix fixe meal was a mere $40ish per person.
