Wife's 27 euro chicken couscous came with chicken drumstick, thigh, and part of a chicken breast on one plate, soup with vegetables on a second plate, and garbanzo beans and vegetables on third plate. My 35 euro lamb with rice plate came with a mixed rice and a huge 16 ounce slab of juicy lamb, one of the biggest pieces of lamb that I've seen served anywhere. If I had to do it again, I would order the lamb tajines, with a smaller portion of lamb mixed with apricots, raisins. They charged 11 euros for salad, and 6 euros for bottled water, bringin the total to 79 euros or $93.52. All that was missing was the belly dancers to make up for a memorable evening

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.

The bread is fluffy and delicious, rolled with pistachio, and drizzled with a bit of honey, served with labneh (SO GOOD), anchovies, za'atar, olives, and some peppers. I've not had a dish like this elsewhere and I've been craving it ever since! We also ordered the octopus skewer over greens - this was also very good though the octopus could have been a BIT less chewy and seasoned/marinated a BIT more. The greens were SO good though! Finally, we had the kibbeh nayyeh which is essentially lamb tartare. I've had this dish many times in different restaurants but this one is my absolute favorite. It's topped with some crunchy goodness that I can't explain as well as an egg yolk. The only thing you should be aware of is that if you want to have an appetizer first, THEN your entrees, make sure to be clear about it. We ordered everything together and it came all at once. English-speaking? Kind of. The server knew some English and had to check with the bartender on a few things. Either way, he spoke more English than I speak French so kudos to him! He was also very sweet.

Ok, we were sitting a bit like "chicken" in a row (very, very close) bit it was ok - we were chatting with our neighbors from time to time. They have not many items on the menu but good is really great - most of the plates are to share and everything looks and tastes like freshly made. A small wine list with reasonable prices is completing the offering. Also the food is reasonably priced for what you get and still remember - it's Paris. Service is very nice, attentive and friendly.
