    This place is incredible. Food is amazing, so rich in flavour that I just wanted to lick my plate at the end of my meal. Mint green tea was exquisite. Desert is a piece of a tasteful art. Waiter was the best, so polite, helpful and thoughtful. I have only one suggestion for the owners: to install a changing table in the toilets.

    I've found out about this place through the “Spice bags” an Irish food podcast. Being a huge fan of Morrocan cuisine I immediately knew I needed to try this place. So I've booked a table for late lunch on Saturday afternoon. The place wasn't too busy when we arrived. We ordered dishes from a set menu which was €24,90 p/p for two courses. I've tried harira soup and tagine with lamb and prunes. The food was delicious, lamb tagine was exceptionally good. The service staff was quick, polite and attentive. Highly recommended.

    Nice new addition to Moroccan cuisine in the capital. Lovely decor, wonderfully tasting dishes. Well catering to the COVID restrictions and allowing indoor dining if you have your cert. Staff are very friendly and genuinely engaging. There is a great space to karaoke downstairs but legitimately off at present and can't wait to see what they can do once restrictions are further eased off. Looking forward to my next visit to them.

    Ended up at Marrakesh on a Thursday afternoon, seated outside on very comfortable chairs. The food was amazing and so was the service. If anything, the Moroccan coffee was out of this world, never tsted anything like it before. We're going back with friends to experience the whole Moroccan dining thing (Mezza) To be continued ..

    Super food. Staff were so kind, helpful. Waiter adviced pinot grigio as house wine which is my favorite. Food came with rice and olives. Olives were so original, I wonder how they mixed it with spicies. Good place, good staff. I will visit again.

    It was my first time here, and certainly will not be the last! My girlfriend and I choose the 2 course menu in order to try the menu as much as possible. The starters were fantastic, specially the lamb sausage. For the main entries, we got a lamb cooked with a traditional method (tangine) and a chicken pie. Absolutely mouthwatering! Can’t wait for the next time!

    Food here is outstanding. Get the Full Moroccan Experience tasting menu if you're with a group. It's a lovely sharing platter where you can sample a range of food. I got the lamb tagine and it was delicious, never had lamb so tender! We had a nice seat outside as it was a mild evening. Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Very enjoyable evening.

    Very good price for the mesa sharing, we were a group of 8 and pay e33 each for the food, 3 courses (sharing starters and desserts) you choose your own main course. Very tasty food, my first experience with moroccan cuisine, generous portions, succulent dishes such as tagines, I had lamb in peaces with prunes, I think it just needs potatoes or veggies to balance flavors as it is a very sweet dish. One of my friends had half chicken and it comes in a delicious kind of consome and potatoes, also tried the lamb shank was very good. Desserts were OK but a good variety (lemon pay, baklava, cheese cake among many others) in small portions but plenty to share. Some cocktails are quite expensive. There is a good selection of wines. Staff are very kind and service was good, charged with the bill.

    Wow. What a delicious food. Cozy place. Nice artwork inside. Its bit expensive to eat but its worth spending. I dont remember the name of the meal below but do try this one chicken in sause cooked in steam. Cuscus was also worth having.

    Incredibly slow service. I know it's party season and I don't expect much from restaurants at this time of year but this was ridiculous. The staff were lovely and were doing their best but they were totally overwhelmed by numbers. The mezze platters were good and the couscous main was OK - lukewarm by the time it got to me.

  • 5/5 Barry K. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Gianfranco P. 4 years ago on Google
    Quiet expensive for the quality of food and service. Total of 53 EUR for a "Christmas dinner menu" where in our group of 7, we couldn't choose the entrées, just the main course and a choice between dessert or cocktail. We shared a bottle of wine with 3 friends (€24/3) plus service charge (€5~). The belly dancer on Friday night was an interesting addition but wouldn't say it wasn't worth coming for this restaurant because of it

  • 1/5 Imene A. 1 year ago on Google
    I waited a while before getting someone to take my order and waited twice as long to see my starter arrive. One other table with 2 lads came 15 minutes after me, they got served a soup before they even sat down and got main before I even got the starter. They kept complaining and getting their food changed, at some point 4 staff was at their table, for a moment I thought they where part of the Royal Marrocan family. I ordered Harira soup, which was delicious, although a tad more salt would have make it perfect. Their fresh mint leaves tea is delicious. I had the royal couscous for main but I was quite disappointed. It's supposed to come with 3 meats, chicken, lamb and merguez. I was expecting a chicken leg, a piece of lamb with a bit of a bone, and a juicy merguez... Instead, the chicken was scarce and was a dry breast diced tiny, the lamb was as dry as the sahara, the merguez were way too dry and the couscous itself tasted like the end of the pot that stayed over the vapour way too long. And when did the parsnip in the couscous became ok to add?!

  • 4/5 Lubaba B. 2 years ago on Google
    BEAUTIFUL AMBIANCE! The sahara couscous was MOUTH-WATERING, the soup was also good, however, I was a little disappointed that it came with Pitta Bread instead of Moroccan Bread (as per the Menu). Also, serviettes were not provided, had to use my pocket tissue for a bit before making the waiter aware.

  • 3/5 Tomas P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nicely decorated interior although the tables are too cramped with minimum space between them. The place was empty during our visit so we didn't mind. But I wouldn't like to eat here at peak hour, I like my privacy. The staff was friendly and attentive, often asking if we needed anything. They also gave us water before we placed our order, which was nice. Service was quick. The meals were however the least enjoyable part of the experience. Starters were tasty, but the mains and even the sides came overly salty with excessive oil. Chinese restaurant style. I'm quite sure we exceeded the recommended daily salt intake by eating just the mains. Which is a pity because otherwise the meals were nicely presented and well spiced and came in generous portions. I feel sorry to leave an average rating because the waiting staff did a great job. But compared to other three Moroccan restarants we've been to in Dublin (and few more in other countries), we enjoyed the food here the least.

    Food was good especially prawn dishes and hummus bread was super good. However, the service was SUPER SUPER SLOW had to remind waiters to bring next course, had to spend hours here due to the service. Atmosphere is okay. Staff was friendly. Would recommend for the food only.

  • 5/5 Linda Kim van der B. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for karaoke with a big group. Very nice and big rooms, finger foods were great, wings and fries are amazing! No beer is served but they have a nice selection of wines and some cocktails, baby Guinness shots. Karaoke machine sometimes a bit confusing as a lot in Chinese, and maybe not all our songs in the selection but then you can use YouTube. Great experience, bit pricey for the room per hour but it was a great night and a great room!

  • 2/5 Syed Muhammad T. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good but service was SUPER SLOW. We literally had to wait for 1,5 hours for our food. Staff the forgot to bring the desserts and when we asked for it , then they realised about that.

    Fantastic food and service. Staff were so attentive to our group, especially knowing that we were there to celebrate my friends’ wedding. We felt so welcome and cared for. The food was gorgeous and I thought the prices were incredibly reasonable for the food we got! Three courses for €31 is amazing!!!

  • 1/5 Jimmy D. 5 months ago on Google
    Our team was eagerly looking forward to a delightful Christmas dinner at this restaurant. However what could have been a festive and joyous occasion turned into a sour experience, primarily due to the manager's disappointing attitude. Despite our efforts to book a table for our Team Christmas dinner (6 members only), a mix-up with email communication led to the cancellation of our reservation. Unfortunately the manager didn't extend any understanding or offer a solution. Instead, he exhibited an inflexible and unaccommodating attitude. What struck us most was the manager's lack of empathy and willingness to find a middle ground. Our team members had travelled from distant places to gather for this occasion, yet the manager's refusal to offer an alternative time or even a slight delay felt unnecessarily harsh. The restaurant was more than half empty. The way the situation was handled seemed more about the manager's ego than customer service. It's disheartening when a potentially joyful celebration is marred by rigid policies and a lack of compassion. We went to Yamamuri and got the place in 30 min despite of the fact that the place was busy at that time. I strongly recommended other teams in my office to avoid the place. While the restaurant might offer good food and ambiance, the managerial approach and lack of flexibility regarding unforeseen circumstances left a bitter taste in our mouths. We hope the management considers adopting a more customer centric approach in the future to avoid dampening the spirits of the restaurant.

    Went with a group of friends and enjoyed ourselves. Reasonably priced. Food choice was interesting and delicious. Wait staff helpful and friendly. Afterwards we went downstairs and rocked out to karaoke. They have a number of private rooms. I do suggest you book for karaoke...and have a list of songs you'd like to sing so you don't waste your session time trying to decide!

    Great food, a surprising treat in the city. We both had vegetable tagine and they were delicious. Tasty, authentic and with a really nice tomato paste. The bread and cous cous was also delicious. Highly recommended, we'll be back.

    You can rent a room with the karaoke equipment and use it only with your friends. The bar is always empty so it doesn't take long to get drinks. We had a great time but there were too massive tables in the centre of the room the were quite annoying - I'd reoganise or even redecorate the place to better accommodate the karaoke people :)

    Went there on a Sunday around 10pm when most places were closing. The lovely waiter gave my friend & I a table with excellent service. Even told us some places to check out in Morocco. He was well mannered & well spoken. We stayed there for over an hour & even though it was late the waiter was calm & didn't rush us. I thought the timing of the courses was perfect & the food was delicious, likewise with the wine. Lovely flavours from the tajine & the sauce was immense, loved the fresh bread they bake. Definitely worth trying.

    First time experience with their Moroccan foods on offer. Nice waiting staff, and the food enjoyable in a pleasant atmosphere. Quite expensive though (€4 for a small bottle of water, €10.50 for a cocktail for example), with a high service charge (€30 on a €270 bill to a group of 6, that's €100 more overall to what I pay in other restaurants I frequent with the same group size!).

    It used to be a good place and I ate there many times, however my last visit seen a big drop in food quality, I was served a vegetarian tagine that tastes as if it was cooked a very long while ago and as if tomorrow it will already be spoiled. Like on the edge of spoiled. I never returned
