“ Authentic Moroccan cuisine. Our experience here was all top notch. We ordered Grape Leaves. Stuffed to perfection. The best I've ever had! The flavor was perfect! Chefs kiss Our main course was Lamb Tagine and Goat Tagine. Both were perfectly stewed to perfection. It came with Brussel sprouts, green beans, potatoes, and carrots in a tasty broth. The rice was so fluffy. Service was attentive. Plenty of parking Woman owned. The best dining experience. ”
“ I won't hesitate to say this place has the best grape leaf I've ever had. My entrée was the goat tagine, and it was amazing. Moroccan tea along with a mango smoothie. This place is a must-visit if you love Moroccan cuisine. The owner is super amazing, which made the experience epic. ”
“ Delicious. Well spiced/seasoned. Lettuce was pretty sad though. The market looks pretty much like an abandoned afterthought but the food was sooooo good. ”
“ This place is absolutely amazing. We came here yesterday to celebrate my birthday, and it just brought me all the way back to soft evenings in Marrakesh. Now, fair warning- I think this place is pretty much a one-person show, I've only ever seen one lady working here. That being said, you gotta respect the hustle- she'll be whirling around the place handling store customers, phone calls, balancing drinks and tagines, etc. Service might be a little slow, and if there are multiple tables I could imagine it being *quite* slow (though, honestly, and I hate to say this, I don't think I've ever seen anyone else eating here, which is a damned shame). But take that time to relax- browse around the store, enjoy some tea, get off your phone and chat with your friends. Their food is honestly some of the best that I've ever had. I mentioned it in my last review, but I want to reiterate- their bastilla is easily as good as anything I've ever had in Marrakesh or Fez. Yesterday we got some of just about everything, and it was all absolutely amazing. Even the presentation was memorable- the meals were served on beautiful wooden dishes, dazzling tagines and pretty little plates. Once again the meats all melted right in my mouth, and when I say that, I mean it literally. You scoop a piece of lamb up, you put it in your mouth, and you honestly don't even need to chew it- it just dissolves in a fatty, meaty alchemy. It looks like their menu has shrunk a little bit, but I'm just glad that they made it through COVID. I will personally commit to coming here more often to keep their kitchen busy. This place should be a UNESCO world heritage site, by golly. ”
“ We had a lovely meal here - I would order all of the things I ordered again. Our party of 3 ate family style. We had 2 appetizers, Baba Ghanouj either pita and Stuffed Grape Leaves. My favorite was the Baba Ghanouj. For entrees, we shared 3 entrees: the Mixed Grill, Mandi, and Goat Tagine. We liked all 3 dishes. But my companions liked the Goat Tagine best. I couldn't decide between the Mandi or the Mixed Grill as my favorite. Beautiful presentation of all dishes. I would definitely return. ”
“ First time here. If you are looking for a real Middle Eastern food (Morocco), this is a place. Food is is amazing amazing, amazing, and better than the Persian Room. I had the bastella. It's chicken and almond in a homemade filo. They fill your plate with food. So yummy! ”
“ Definitely a hidden gen. The tagine is mouth watering and the hummus is excellent. We got the bastilla and liked that one too but the tagine is the obvious winner ”
“ The food was as good as back home. The harira was served with a type of pita bread that was freshly made. The goat taijin was delicious and tender but for me the star of the meal was the lamb couscous. It was incredible delicious tender and perfect seasonings it's a MUST. Service was extremely friendly. As a small business, The chef is the owner and we were able to meet her. She shows the love that she puts in her food and the homemade murals that creates a great ambiance . If you are looking for real Morrocan food , this is the place . ”
“ The Bastilla... what can I say about this unique dish? This restaurant is marketed as a Moroccan restaurant with an attached market. This seemingly unimposing restaurant boasts a hidden gem. That gem is the Bastilla! Looking at the dish and reading about, I initially thought "meh, seems interesting but I'm not expecting much." Boy was I wrong. This does require suspending what you would initially think as what flavor profiles to be. What do I mean? When one thinks of entree, you think of savory and sweetness belongs to dessert realm. This combines both to create a savory sweet dish that bursts of flavor. It tastes similar to a baklava with its sweet and almond style flavor, but the tenderness and savory profile of chicken. A sweet chicken dish? Who would've thought? Why am I asking rhetorical questions? I was impressed with this massive beast (it is HUGE) and I felt like the food baby was kicking once I was done. That being said I decided to try the mango smoothie. Also killed it in the smoothie game. It tasted like real fruit (it's sad to be impressed that a smoothie tastes like tea fruit since many places use a powder or some substitute)! It also had great presentation. No doubt this is an awesome gem that anyone with and adventurous appetite for non traditional food! ”
“ Alzohour market is definitely a hidden gem!! A lovely spot with insanely delicious Moroccan food that I even think is better than Marrakesh, Morocco which I've been to 3 times! The flavor is excellent and portion sizes are huge! I highly recommend paying this spot a visit, the owner is very friendly and you will not be disappointed!! ”
