| - I absolutely enjoyed my dinner here on a Saturday evening, thank you Marrakech for having a groupon deal.
Our servers were very attentive. Based on the prior reviews, I was a bit hesitant but glad I decided to see for myself.
The food was delicious.
1st-Moroccan Style Shrimp Scampi: love the lemon wine garlic sauce. We were dipping the moroccan bread pieces into this flavorful sauce that I had to keep reminding myself not to overdo it since there are 5 more courses to come. The shrimps were small but cooked perfectly.
2nd-Harira Soup: this was really good! I can gulp down 2 bowls of this lentil soup!
3rd-Marrakech Sampler: hummus, eggplant/tomato dip, olives, cucumbers, beets and carrots. Nothing special
4th-Beef Brochette: a skewer of tender beef, very tender and has good flavor. I was pretty full at this point so I ate one chunk and the rest was eaten by my bf.
5th-Chicken couscous (Morrocan Style): The chicken was tender over couscous. An extra bowl of gravy was brought out in case we wanted more gravy on our dish. We tasted some of this dish and ask for it to go. So So full.
6th-B'stilla and hot Morrocan mint tea: Oh wow, this fluffy pastry, wrapped with filo dough was so yummy with the mint tea. I wonder if I can just come and have the fluffy pastry and mint tea...that would be awesome. Anywho, the fluffy pasty was filled with chocolate and almonds, topped with more almonds, powdered sugar and cinnamon. So good.
The bellydancers were great. However, since we enjoy our conversation with each other, the music can be a tad bit loud.
Conclusion: I probably wouldn't pay $40 dinner for one. It was a great dinner and experience but not for that price. Therefore, I am a fan when there is such a deal.
