| - I get that it is a show and dinner but that doesn't mean you should charge these prices. The dinner was mediocre and the "show" was a single girl belly dancing around to different tables.
If you come here for summerlicious or winterlicious don't expect much as you will be seated in the "cafe" section near the entrance that basically seems like a glamorized coffee shop with a long bar. Tiny, two person round tables and a decor that has a Moroccan theme but very far from being a portal to Morocco. White chairs and a mirror is what you get. The Yelp picture of the door is the exact size of their "cafe".
I came for summerlicious but decided that this "experience" wasn't for me. So I "upgraded" to the back, I found this process similar to getting a lap dance as you pay more and the lady with the shiny clothes leads you towards the darker area with long couches, pillows, and funky music. Very VIP room like.
The decor in the back was laid out quite nicely. Separate tents for each dining table. I use the term dining table loosely as these dining table are the same size as those tiny coffee tables at the front but cost $15 a head more. The lighting is very dim and not a window in sight. There are fake plants scattered around and cool looking palm leaf ceiling fans.
Service was pretty dismal as you are confronted with the smug, sarcastic, and slightly too cool actor type of server. He was nice but not very engaging or personable. Although, he did have extensive knowledge of the menu. He was also very quick, so quick that I found it hard to ask any questions or for a water refill as his back would be turned and his feet walking away the instant you see him.
Food, this is where the restaurant pissed me off. Complete failure. Every single dish sounded appetizing and interesting but the execution of these dishes were done so sloppily. Too salty, no flavor, over cooked, underdone, the list goes on. I find this food similar to food found in banquet halls. Dishes created on a large scale and then plated separately. There was a large amount of food but no dish sticks out in my mind as being done well. A shame especially considering the price.
The belly dance, the supposed star of the show. It's a girl dancing around with a short vest on. Really, I've had better food and seen better dancing at a strip club. I wasn't looking for anything spectacular but the mix of poor food and service didn't excite me enough for a mediocre belly dance to entertain me. Then they kick you out once dessert comes because there's another "booking". They book tables based on the belly dance so everyone eats around the same time and gets kicked around the same time so the turnover goes quickly.
Overall, it was a waste of money and I will never go back. $45/head and extra cost for the appetizing menu options that barely taste of anything good? I'll pass, thanks. Take the money you would've spent here and go to Pravda across the street, you'll leave with a nice buzz off premium vodka.
