You really feel like you're in Morocco with the decorations. And it's also not even that loud, which is perfect for a nice intimate dinner. Had the Kefta with Moroccan Salad and Royal Pigeon Pastilla as starters, Lamb Tagine with Seasonal Fruits and Kefta Meatball Couscous for entrées, and the Selection of Moroccan Pastries as dessert. Portions were really good and everything was super tasty. Not the absolute best food I've ever had, but I was not disappointed. Staff here are quite friendly. Even though they don't all speak English, they are very nice and helpful. And yes, they do have English menus at least. Really enjoyed Essaouira, glad I made the trip here.

A little bit of a language gap between our broken French and our waiter's broken English, but we had no trouble! We tried the Royal Pastilla with Pigeon (yes, pigeon!) to start. The mix of sweet and spicy flavor was good and the pigeon tasted like a cross between chicken and pork. Our entrees were huge and could easily be split between two or three people. I got the couscous lamb skewers. The root vegetables in broth that came with them was tremendous.

The vegetarian one is the base. Whatever meat you order was served on the side. Additionally currants, chickpeas, and hot paste were offered. The food was great.

Just a short walk from the stables, there are more yummy couscous, chicken and lamb dishes than you knew about. It was very reasonably priced, so unlikely to inspire any revolutions.

We wanted to come back here again and again but we were determined to try different places every night. However, I will always make plans to eat here whenever I am in Versailles.

Outstanding! Intimate. Welcoming. Authentic. Great service! What a terrific culinary experience…read more The tagine was out of this world, imbued with the right amount of spice. The chicken couscous with raisins and chickpeas had fresh vegetables, gorgeous gilled meats, and additional spices to personalize the dish. The pepper/feta/balsamic appetizer was just delicious. This meal at Le Sirocco was hearty, healthy and topped off with a fresh orange & mint along with fresh mint tea. Look forward to our next visit!

Of two Moroccan places I tried I thought the food was more flavorful here. I got the beef couscous and my boyfriend got the vegetable couscous and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The flavor of the broth was really good. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone walking around Marais. They are clearly a mom and pop establishment and they know what they are doing when it comes to the food.

Once you placed your order, they serve you traditional Moroccan Maghrebi mint tea. I liked how they put on a lil show when pouring tea, and it was delicious and warm on a cold winter day! We opted for Plat du jour (the plate of the day) & msamen nature to share, I enjoyed the couscous which was not soggy but nutty and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with the stew. Would recommend order their msamen nature, the texture was really good. The only con would be the meats, maybe we didn't order the right kind, they were a lil dry and tough. One of the better Moroccan food experiences I have had. A great option to try out in this market!

Our hotel was very close to this food hall and we just stumbled upon this place and we are so glad we did!

He was the only server and there were several tables full and everything ran so smoothly! I'm impressed with his skills! We ordered a sampler plate to start and it had sausages, lamb, olives, eggplant, pimentos, and a cucumber relish. It was great, but in the future I probably would not order this, because the entree portions are huge. For our meal, we ordered couscous with lamb shank and lamb with exotic fruits. Both of these dishes were to die for! I want to go back already! The exotic fruits were: apricots, prune and figs. The decor was so beautiful, I felt like I was in Morocco! Please do yourself a favor and try out this lovely, fresh and authentic restaurant.
