    Lamb shank and okra curry! So yummy!
    Liren C.

    I love coming here for lunch with my family! It's the best homemade food, so full of flavor. The people are always friendly too. Highly recommend it!

    I was here on a Friday, it was crowded as the mass was on. Service was great, it was barely 10 minutes wait to pickup my Togo. Spicy chicken plate was amazing, portions would suffice 2 moderate eaters. Ask for their hot sauce, it adds a nice punch of spice to the food.

    Food is exceptionally flavorful! I love Indian food and this is the most flavorful I have ever had. It's located in the Muslim association of Puget sound. I was wearing a dress and the friendly staff said to go right in as its a community center. Portion is generous and the staff is very kind.

    Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant - Roasted Lamb Shank and Tagine of Spicy Lamb

    Dinner here with a group turned out to be a fun and lively experience overall. We were about 10…read morepeople and opted for the **Royal Feast dinner**, which lasted close to two hours and came with a variety of dishes served in a shared, group-style setting. From the moment we arrived, the **host and servers were warm, welcoming, and very polished**. The service felt attentive without being intrusive, and the staff did a nice job keeping the evening moving at a relaxed pace. The Royal Feast included several dishes that were brought out over the course of the evening. We started with **cinnamon pastries**, which were warm and a nice way to begin the meal. The spread also included **couscous, rice, chicken with lemon, Italian-style chicken, lamb, and kebabs**. The portions were generous and worked well for sharing with a large group. One thing to note: **vegetarians don't have many options here**, so if someone in your group has dietary restrictions, it might be a bit limiting. The meal ended with **tea**, which was a pleasant way to wrap up the dinner. Part of the experience here is the **belly dance performance**, but it doesn't start until **after 6:30 pm**. If you're expecting dancing throughout the dinner, you might be disappointed. The performance itself was okay, but the dancer mostly performs in the center area rather than around the tables, so it feels a bit distant. Personally, I've seen more engaging belly dance performances elsewhere. Parking is something to plan ahead for. The restaurant **does not have its own parking lot**, so you'll need to rely on **Seattle street parking, nearby garages, or paid lots**. Like many parts of the city, you may also see a few tents from unhoused residents while walking to the restaurant. If you're familiar with Seattle, this isn't unusual. Overall, the experience was **fun for a group dinner and worth the price**, especially if you're looking for something a bit different with entertainment included. That said, the food and performance were **good but not quite top-tier**. Still, it made for an enjoyable evening with friends.

    The first thing you'll notice is the unique look of the restaurant, with its intimate moody…read morelighting and plushy seats. Highlights for me was that lamb tagine with a huge portion of lamb and the chicken tagine with lemon and olives. The flavors were really fresh and pleasant, though a pinch of salt could take them to the next level. There were very unique elements of Moroccan culture here, with the basin hand washing and giant metal vase of bread. We unfortunately didn't catch the belly dancer this time but has a really nice family meal here. The waiters were so friendly and quippy. Really enjoyed this unique experience.

    oh wowowow! ive had this place bookmarked for so long and finally got to try it this week. it blew…read moreme away! came in with two girlfriends and got sat in a booth. the place was so cute, there were booths, bar seats, some patio seats, and i think a room in the back too. menu had options for everyone, veg options, meat options, entrees, and drinks. it was a good amount to choose from, not so much that it got overwhelming. we got pretty much all the potato options, and i loved every single one of them. all the flavors worked so well with one another, some subtle, some packed a punch. the aioli thats featured in a lot of the tapas we ordered is to die for! i would buy it if they sold it. the chop salad actually was kind of an underdog. it surprised me, the vinaigrette that its marinated in is so delicious, i probably would have slurped it up if i werent so full. for entrees, we ordered the lamb skewers and meatballs. the lamb was heavily spiced and came with a eggplant dip. the meat was a bit tough but still tasted good. the meatballs were delicious, also well spiced, and came in a tomato red sauce with crispy bread. i think we ordered 5-6 tapas and 2 entrees, and it was enough food! and price was actually quite reasonable for the quality and quantity of food.

    Wow! One of the best restaurants I've been in Seattle!!…read more This place has a cozy vibe. Very small place with tight seating. All dishes were impressive! Well balanced flavors, and rich texture, and a fun cocktail selection as a plus My favorites: - zaalouk: Smokey eggplant with nicely minced garlic for extra flavor - tortilla espanola: simple authentic Spanish style. Delicious - squid steak: a must-order!!! So tender and thinly sliced squid soaked in nutty and tomato-ish sauce. Full of umami flavor. Loved the zucchini in it too though it's just a side character. Most squid dishes in the states don't get the texture right, hard to chew sometimes, but this one is superior in many ways - lamb brochette: tender and juicy Will definitely come back here bringing family and friends - this place is such a gem and I would highly highly recommend to everyone!!!

Filled with toppings and a yummy dressing. Fries are always perfect. Fresh ingredient's, must try it. We always get orders to go. So I can't speak on service or ambiance but they never get our order wrong so I would say service is good.

Overall, I really enjoyed my meal. The rice was great, the gyro meat was flavorful, and the tzatziki was really good. I got the lunch portion, which was good, but I do wish I had gone with the dinner size--definitely doing that next time since I want to try their hummus. The salad was the only part that was a little off for me. It seemed like the veggies hadn't been dried very well, so there was quite a bit of water sitting at the bottom. It also had pickles in it, which was interesting--but I actually didn't mind that part since I like pickles anyway. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because my husband's order wasn't made correctly. He ordered a similar plate with chicken and specifically asked for no salad and no tzatziki, and it was even confirmed when he ordered. But when he got home, both were still on his plate, which was frustrating for him. Aside from that, the food itself was really good. I'd definitely order from here again--and next time, I'm going for the Dinner Plate
