    Had an enjoyable dinner here on 6 May 2022. The website doesn't mention it but wine and mixed drinks are available. $9 for gin & tonic is great value. The chicken couscous was very tasty. The bread stuffed with spinach and feta is recommended as a starter.

    We tried the Lamb Tagine and the mixed grill. Both were exceptionally good. Our host was also great and was quite passionate about the food. He gave us some great recommendations. All in all we had a good evening here and hope to be back.

    Really nice alternative dining experience. The atmosphere is fantastic with a great red & green roof lining, heaps of photographs & great decor. The service was unrushed and the host was very informative. The food was delicious. The mixed grill had a nice combination of meat, salad & bread. It's suitable for a single person. The rafissa was great. Highly recommend as an alternative to your usual dining experience.

    The Rafissa that I had was well seasoned. The portion size was ideal—it wasn't too large or too small. My husband ordered a mixed grill. The sausage was surprisingly spicy. Love the taste of the food.

    A taste sensation in a stunning Moroccan setting. So incredibly delicious, I'm still talking about it hours later. It's an absolute must to visit. Excellent service too.

    This restaurant has really good atmosphere. The waiter was friendly and very efficient. Our food took a long time to arrive - about 45 minutes. Not sure why it took so long. We ordered the lamb machwiya. Flavour was good but the lamb was a little dry and a little overcooked. We also chose the prawn tagine where again the flavour was good but the dish needed more cooking. We also ordered the baklava which was yum. Would we return? Probably not.

    I have had better Moroccan meal. Unfortunately except the dips platter every other meal we ordered was not up to our expectations. There was no wow factor to the dishes they sure look good in the pictures but taste was bland. Rice was uncooked. Very pricey. Sad to say we did not enjoy the food.

  • 4/5 Jen 5 months ago on Google • 53 reviews
    Very very tasty food although the wait is a bit long. Serve size is not big considering the price. Service is friendly. Authentic and exotic atmosphere. A great place for a night of African food.

  • 5/5 Isabella 6 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Amazing food, fills your cheeks with rich and balanced flavours, the waiter is super kind and everything is perfectly presented. I loved the slow food style as well, everything is made at the moment. We took a grilled mix, a chicken Machwiya and a meatball tagine, all presented nicely and varied in flavour

    Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience here.. food wasn't fresh at all, too salty. All our company included 9yo child were poisoning after birthday party dinner. Never going back and I do not recommend this place.

  • 4/5 David M. 3 years ago on Google
    Four stars because the felafel are fresh and delicious. Very kitsch interior although nothing like anything I saw when travelling through Morocco but a nice ambience all the same.

  • 5/5 Rob S. 5 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Excellent food at a very reasonable price. The waiter/owner of the restaurant was very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is decorated in a very traditional Moroccan style and is beautiful. A great place to eat whilst in the city. Was very quiet on the weekday evening that we visited but still a good atmosphere. Will definitely visit again in the future.

  • 5/5 Nick T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and service. Really well priced too. Loved it!!

  • 2/5 Tas H. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is overly rated. It's a small colourfully decorated place. It is very pricey and the servings are very small. We tried a chicken tagine and some bread. Wouldn't recommend it as the money can be spent elsewhere for a better experience.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful authentic food. Good variety for everyine

  • 5/5 Pat W. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant serving delicious Moroccan cuisine. Tagine’s where delicious and menu had a great variety. Can definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Sarah W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great ambiance and delicious food. The service is friendly, food is clearly made fresh so it's not fast food by any means but well worth it! Highly recommend!

  • 3/5 S C. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately had food poisoning after had dinner with group of colleagues, everything was extremely salty, over done, burnt, dry old rice, dry old couscous, not a very nice experience at all. Won't want to repeat it, a bit too extreme for our taste....sad that such a beautiful place serves such a poor quality of food.

  • 5/5 Rod H. 2 years ago on Google
    Best comfort food in Adelaide. Great food, good value, excellent service, parking out front. Must try the Tagine's. Jamal will treat you well. Lovely interesting decor, I had held back on doing this review as we have just kept going there without thought of a review, now been 6 times in 2021 with our next booking next Wednesday. Intimate dining or take friends, all will enjoy **Now been more than a dozen times, this food is addictive.**June 2021

  • 5/5 Roba R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! The service was friendly and fast. The food was out of this world. So flavoursome. The couscous was fluffy and delicious. The chicken tender and melts off the bone. I’m Just so pleased I tried this place.

  • 1/5 Karen T. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely will not recommend! We were waiting for our two vegetarian dishes for over an hour, when asked, they said 10 more minutes, which actually took 25, and no one even came and said sorry. We were about to leave. Stewing vegetables can't take so long, especially taking into account so small portions. The portion of bread was just shocking. Two small triangle pieces. That can't be real for the price, quality and service. There much better places around.

  • 5/5 S M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious. Friendly service. Great Moroccan vibes. The sweet lamb tajine was our fave.

  • 5/5 David W. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing taste delight. Friendly service. Definitely worth visiting

  • 5/5 brenda f. 1 year ago on Google
    What a find, just around the corner from where my friends and I were staying. From the moment we stepped through the door and until we left was pleasurable. Host/owner, atmosphere and the food made for a wonderful experience. Authentic flavours were cooked to deliciousness and very well presented and very reasonably priced. We would return any time we were in Adelaide, highly recommend for it's authenticity.

  • 5/5 Grant S. 2 years ago on Google
    Never had Morrocan before. I should have been eating this for years it was absolutley fantastic. Themed restaurant, I could have been in Morroco. Customer service and food excellent.

  • 5/5 Desiani N. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Steve A. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrific food with friendly host and a homely atmosphere . Could not fault this restaurant .

  • 5/5 Indira W. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is to die for. We will definitely return with more people. When you find a fabulous eatery... spread the word around. Thank you so much for keeping the food to its founding place.

  • 1/5 Victoria N. 2 years ago on Google
    We’ve been waiting for over an hour when they bring us food. They didn't say anything about that and gave us 5% discount. Moreover, we ordered vegetarian food and the portions were extremely small. I was hungry. I don't recommend you to go there, specially if you are vegetarian. You can cook the same things at home.

  • 5/5 Mark B. 1 year ago on Google
    I had never tried Moroccan food and was nervous when a group chose to go there. The food was amazing, portion sizes good, and service was outstanding. It has become one of my must visit places whenever I am in Adelaide.

  • 5/5 Nicholas E. 2 years ago on Google
    If you ever visit Adelaide you need to book at this gem of a restaurant, what a treat the owner is so accommodating and welcoming. The food is delicious, well prepared and beautifully presented. The mixed grill was out of this world and a huge portion of freshly cooked meats and oh so flavorful. As you walk in you are feel transported to a Moroccan tent filled with the sent of ancient spices. Loved every moment and every bite. Not to be missed.

😐 American styled joint. Thick shake was thick enough. Chocolate peanut butter tasted so good. The ice cream was just a normal ice cream with a fancy name. Burgers are small in general.
