Reviews
The best part of the restaurant is the show. You’re not paying for the food as the portions are small. MAD1800 for 2 people is quite over priced. Kind of expected better in the service and portions. We were asked to come at 8pm despite our reservation being at 8:30pm. The show only started at 9:30pm and food service at 10pm. Two hours was a long time of just having expensive cocktails. They advise you that shisha can only be smoked in a certain part of the restaurant, but we noticed people were smoking cigarettes anywhere in the restaurant.
I booked the table 10 days ago, wrote a message to the restaurant and no one got back to me. Only on the day of the booking they texted asking me to come confirm (pre-payment) personally at the restaurant as no payment link available. Otherwise they suggested that we come around 20:00 - 20:30 to guarantee a table. We went there at 20:00. The entertainment started at 21:00. Food service around 21:30 The entrainment stopped at 23:00 for the football match (we were informed earlier about that) Shortly after we had to leave as everyone was smoking in the closed space and there isn’t enough ventilation. Food is ok, not the greatest. Non- alcoholic cocktails for 140derhams - alcoholic cocktails for 180derham Entertainment program is also ok. The singer Sakina was very nice. We were celebrating a birthday and we ask them to provide a candle, they only offered us a cake for 300derham (which we didn’t accept). I find this act to be rude, as (all over the world) restaurants provide a candle with the dessert or with ice cream and wish you a happy birthday.
A beautiful and elegant place with excellent food, a great atmosphere, and an amazing, diverse show. The staff were very professional, attentive, and respectful. The food was absolutely outstanding—truly beyond expectations. A special thank you to Chef Zakia for her refined taste and creativity, reflected in every dish she serves. It was a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend this place.
Perfect location for a good evening start if you're with a bunch of friends. The atmosphere is ok (but don't get there too early though), I did not know the artists performing on the stage but everything seemed legit and local (except for the exotic dancers). The service is good but don't expect too much from the food. Don't get me wrong, it's ok food, but don't get there for this only.
