We sat at the window in this little lookout area onto the street, this area was so sweet because it had curtains that could be pulled across if your party filled the two table space. The owner was funny and entertaining and laughed and joked with us and all of his customers, he had that great quality of making everyone feel special. I saw couples, groups and whole families eating here. I ordered the chauchokra(sp) to start, it's like a tomato based vegetable dish with a fried egg in the middle. My friend's Mom from Morocco cooked this for me in Boston and this was just as yummy. For my main I got the chicken tagine which was cooked to perfection with vegetables and white raisins and the chicken was so tender it fell off the bone. I have no idea what spices they use in this dish, but it was probably the best meal I had in Paris. My boyfriend had the cous cous with all sorts of meat and this came with a big bowl of broth and vegetables, which tasted really amazing too. I loved everything about this place, even down to the little napkins. We had a bottle of wine that complimented the whole meal and we shared desserts and mint tea that was poured "long" by the waitress. We were welcomed and treated so well here, I would definitely like to come back here to experience it again.

It's the locals the frequent the restaurant, the ambiance and the reception you get from the owner when you enter. It feels good to be back! Due to the copious amounts of food, we decided to share a Brick Kefta as an entree. I had the Tagine Kefta (lamb meatballs with onions and egg) and my husband had the Couscous Berbere. They were both excellent (of course)! We finished with some Baklava an I had some of their excellent Mint Tea! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone at any time!

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.

I also didn't think the prices were too outrageous for the amount of food you get. It was around 15-18 euros for any of the dishes.

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.

I came here on a rainy night while visiting Paris, and it was one of the most memorable meals of the trip. Our waiter was an older gentleman dressed in traditional Moroccan clothing of djellaba and a skull cap. The service was excellent all around, but his special technique of pouring tea in a long, steamy stream while holding the teapot several feet above the cups is really something to see. I had a duckling tagine with apricots, onions and figs. Just heavenly, and the perfect antidote to the damp and drizzle outside. My only caution is to let the tagine cool for a while before you take a bite. It is approximately the temperature of lava when it hits the table. I also appreciated that they offered menus in English and French, since my high school French isn't what it used to be. I've been dreaming of returning since my last trip to Paris, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.
