Amazing rooftop terrace with a beautiful view over Marrakech. The food was outstanding, especially the Harira soup, Moroccan salad, Chicken Lemon Tajine, and the fresh bread. Everything was authentic, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Without a doubt, the best restaurant in Marrakech. Highly recommended! (I visited this place twice)

Absolutely my favourite restaurant from our 2 weeks in Marrakech. We went there 3 times it was that good! Berkouk lamb tagine, Mechmech lamb tagine and Berber tagine were very flavourful. Service was friendly.

We ordered their vegetarian couscous and tajine Berber (with lamb) and they were both delicious. The lamb was very tender and paired well with all the vegetables. We enjoyed dinner at their rooftop after a long day of walking. Service was great and the food was hot and seasoned perfectly. We definitely will recommend for an introduction to Moroccan dishes! First and second floor might be empty, because everyone is at their rooftop terrace!
