| - Great place to have a get together amongst family and friends. Nice ambiance, comfy seats. If you're tall, watch out for the low ceilings!
The food is good, savoury and sweet. The flavours are well blended. I took the tagine berbère, which consists of veggies with prunes, raisins, lamb and chicken. It was delicious! I'm picky when it comes to lamb, I don't like it when it tastes like what sheep smell like on a farm, but this was nice, with a subtle taste, very pleasing to my palate.
There were two belly dancer shows and if it's your birthday (or fake birthday), you'll be dancing in front of everyone during the intermission! By the end of your stay, you'll have "happy birthday to you" stuck in your head!
We were a decent sized group (14 people) and had asked to be seated in back area, which is nice and cozy and "cave-like" style. But if you want to see the belly dancers better, ask to be seated in the front of the resto. They do come to the back to dance a little, but because there's less room most of their act, is done towards the middle of the restaurant. So, if you're sitting in the front, you'll see everything and if you're in the back it's limited viewing.
The first belly dancer was ok, she did some sword and fire tricks, but wasn't great at dancing. The second belly dancer was more talented, she didn't do any tricks, she just danced but watching her dance was almost hypnotizing!
Before going I found it a little pricey at $33 and change. Now my opinion has changed. You're well fed, well taken care of and it's a lively and interactive atmosphere, great food and a show to boot! I came out satisfied and full. Money well spent!
