Love this spot, great, homey family owned business. The proprietor even sung Aisha for us! Service is friendly and while the menu only has a few items to choose from everything is good and made to order. Want to try the sardine sandwich next time. The almond cookies are excellent! If you're looking to try something new this is a great spot to check out. Be sure to ask for the harissa if you like spice. read more

Food was excellent, very flavorful. The small austere establishment is nice. The host, probably the owner, treats you like guests in his home. We, 2 couples, shared many of the menu items, nothing we would not order again but the pastilla and eggplant were standout good. read more

Amazing food and service! We loved every bite and will come back. Try it out, you won't regret it!

I enjoyed Morrocan food years ago when I was on vacation in Casablanca. Also, this year friends visited from Morocco during Ramadan. Though Muslims fast during the daytime, at night they eat well. My friend's mother lovingly prepared homecooked dishes every day. I was in heaven. On both occasions when I dined at Couscous Hice, I was brought back to that same heaven. The spices were perfectly balanced, with delicate flavor layers. It was like eating homecooking in a Morrocan family's home. The meat was tender, the bread was straight from the oven and was complimentary to the olive oil (Morrocan is the best). The couscous was of the perfect texture. I loved the simplicity of the dishes while still featuring the complexity of layers of flavor. The owner Fouad and his wife exude love in the restaurant's atmosphere. I could taste love in the food. I'm Creole, from New Orleans. Cooking is a big part of our culture. I'm trained to sense the ingredient of Love in food. Fouad is quite the conversationalist, is warm, intelligent, and talented. I recommend that you visit Couscous Hice. Enjoy the Morrocan culture in a warm and cozy environment. Bring a friend as I've brought a couple. Now they're bringing friends. Check it out!

Vegan review: We had the Zaalook sandwich (eggplant and peppers) which was phenomenal. The sandwich was on fresh bread, which made it the perfect mix of oily, chewy, salty and flavorful. I had called ahead to ask whether it was vegan, and when we arrived, they remembered my call. The owner suggested we order one sandwich with a side of soup, which they also confirmed was vegan. I believe it was a pea soup, subtle and earthy, and fantastic for a chilly day. The sandwiches came out with delicious tangy harissa. They also confirmed the Green O'Bneen was made with coconut milk, not dairy, and would be another option for vegans. Cannot wait to come back and try it! read more

Couscous Hice - ZaaLook sandwich with soup and fries. - Moroccan Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Couscous Hice opened today in Park Hill where the old GB Fish and Chips existed. What a great addition to Park Hill. I stopped in for lunch and the owners, Ed and his wife Soumia, warmly greeted me and answered all my questions. We talked about my horse while I checked out the menu. I settled for a Green O'Bneen a vegetable offering of zucchini and fava beans over couscous. Ed asked if I wanted it spicy and added a special harissa sauce to spice my dish up. It was very good. The menu says that they will be adding dishes like a tagine. And I have saved the best for last. The sweets were just perfect. I had a single date stuffed with a delicious coconut cream. It was small but filled the sweet tooth. They have decorated the space with objects from Moracco. It is clean with three or four tables. They have Moroccan hot and cold tea and all the other US soft drinks. I love that we have another dining culture located in the neighborhood. I am sure they will become very popular. read more

I've been to several Moroccan restaurants in Colorado. And while they are all good, Couscous Hice is the most authentic. I've never been to Morocco (at least, not yet). But the taste of the food and the hospitality shown by the husband and wife duo, is what I imagine it would be if I were in Morocco. The owners are proud of their heritage and it comes through in their service and food, which is akin to a home cooked meal. Nothing fancy; nor is it required. Just very good, authentic flavors that transport you to another country and opens your palette to a world of different flavors and culture. We had a variety of dishes & beverages, including the Chicken Pastilla, Chakchouka sandwich, Moroccan Mint Tea, Chicken Tagine, Couscous Pudding, eggplant side, and a semolina coconut cookie. All were truly delightful, flavorful and amazing. You could appreciate the passion, love, care and pride that went into each dish. If you like Moroccan food or if you've been eager to try it, I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed! read more

From the very first bite, I felt like I was back home. The merguez was perfectly spiced inside a perfect warm fresh baguette. I'll give the sandwich a 10 out 10. If you're craving a true taste of Morocco, this is it. Can not wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

In the former GB Fish & Chips spot at Colfax/Glencoe, Couscous Hice offers a peek into the food of Morocco (which received a fairly recent boost from Gordon Ramsay, who in fact announced it as the world's best cuisine in 2024). The exceedingly friendly owners go above and beyond to display warm, welcoming and quintessentially Maghrebi hospitality, as I recently discovered myself. A cup of the lentil and chickpea soup Harira (probably best known for helping break the daily fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan) served as a bold and bracing start to my day, and is especially good with the substantial and equally filling Moroccan bread called K'sra. (If you're looking for a more sweet/savory combination, it is also traditionally consumed with Chebakia - honey-drenched fried pastries). The sardine sandwich I followed it with was similarly noteworthy. A daily special, the marriage of the titular fish with peppers, onions, and Harissa (red chili sauce) could best be summarized using a description from another menu item - B'neen (delicious). And on that note, I'm looking forward to trying other tasty items on my next visit. read more

The Chicken Tajine was incredible! I ordered it and enjoyed it while listening to the singing of Fouad and his wife and ordered the chicken pastilla to go. Thank you for the wonderful experience and best of luck to your business and family. read more

Couscous Hice - Ambiance - Moroccan Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A new Moroccan restaurant just opened in the neighborhood, and it's a true gem. Owned by a married couple, the space is warm, welcoming, and clearly built with care. They treated us with such kindness--it felt more like being hosted than dining out. The food was excellent: flavorful, perfectly spiced , and fresh, vibrant bread and chakchouka. You could tell everything was made with intention. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back--not just for the food, but because it feels good to be there. We'll be back soon. read more
