The only saving grace for this restaurant is the BEAUTIFUL atmosphere and the belly dancing show. Otherwise the food portions for the appetizers were tiny for the price ~$10-$15 and mediocre tasting.
BEWARE: we were told when we got there that it was a $25/person minimum spending and for large groups, an automatic 18% tip is charged.
THE FOOD:
Vegetable Briwatts - 3 pieces of triangular phyllo wrapped vegetables with a chipotle aioli. Overall tasted ok but the chipotle mayo feels out of place with such a supposedly Moroccan dish.
Chicken Bastilla - interesting phyllo wrapped shredded chicken surrounded by sliced almonds, confectioner sugar & cinnamon. Flavours and texture was interestingly good but chicken was dry and portion was pretty small.
Royal Brochette- $15 for 3 skewers with ~4 small pieces of meat (shrimp, lamb, and chicken) is a rip-off. I must admit I really liked the flavour and cook on the lam skewer, otherwise the shrimp and chicken tasted OK and was drier.
The main courses do look greater in portion, but be prepared to spend $35-$55 to get that.
THE STAFF & ATMOSPHERE: the servers looked and sounded quite unmotivated, although still polite. The decorations from the tents, pillow seats, lanterns and wall decor transported me elsewhere. The belly dancing show was super fun and the dancer would interact with each table !! The show lasted 30 min at ~8pm on a weeknight.
