| - Overall, just okay -- nothing special but not terrible either. My husband and I had been wanting to try Moroccan Paradise as we had seen it while dining at other restaurants in the area. His parents were wanting to try something different so we went on Friday night for dinner. The restaurant wasn't too busy but after talking to our server, he said business was slower so he was actually the only one taking care of all the tables. The service wasn't too prompt but it wasn't an issue.
We started off with a couple of the smoothie drinks, I was not impressed with my choice. I can't remember what it was called but it had avocado, mango, and a third flavor. My dinner was just okay also. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma which came with rice, potato wedges, and a side salad. I thought the seasonings on the chicken were a little bit weird, not like typical Chicken Shawarma. This restaurant had a different version which I can appreciate but it was a bit bland. My husband ordered the Vegetarian Platter, my mother-in-law got the Beef w/Prunes Tajine, and my father-in-law got the Lamb Couscous.
The Beef w/Prunes Tajine was unique with a sweeter flavor, I tried a bite and thought it was pretty tasty. This dish seemed to be their signature item and was probably the best one out of all of the dishes we had at the table. My father-in-law liked the Lamb Couscous and my husband enjoyed his Vegetarian Platter as well. I tasted all the items from the platter and liked the eggplant the best due to the flavor, all others were mediocre, lacked flavor.
All-in-all, as previously mentioned, our experience was just okay. The prices were a bit high for the quality of the food. The flavors of some of the items were better than others, so I'm still undecided if I will return or not.
