So true! We ordered the chicken cous cous and beef tajeen and every bite was worth it. Order the tea and drink it with dinner!! We brought our leftovers back to our hotel to share with my father who lived in Morocco for a number of years teaching English and he loved the food too. Don't miss out on this family run business!!

A fantastic Moroccan restaurant in Valencia. I was traveling through the city with a friend and we…read morewanted something good to eat - and to not eat at anywhere touristy. Well, we found the place at Aleimuna. The owners - and only people working at the restaurant - a husband and wife, were incredibly warm and personable. He gave us great recommendations for a Tajine and a couscous dish- both of which we loved. If I lived in Valencia, I would eat there all the time.

I came because of a review from a fellow NYC person who said this was the best meal he had in Valencia. I have to say I agree with him. You will not be disappointed.

My boyfriend and I went not really knowing what to expect, and we were so so so pleased by it! I went once in vacation in Morocco and it felt like I was back there! The people are super nice, the decor was simple but very arabic which is what you except from a restaurant like this one. And the food was amazing! The portion are good, a little small for us but we are both elite sportsman so we do eat quit a lot. Anyway I will come back with every person visiting me in Valencia for the next 4 years!

When we wanted to pay, we asked to split the bill but she said no, you need to pay all together, my friend got angry and she said ok. Many people left the place because nobody took care of them. We should have done the same in first place. I don't like to leave bad reviews but the service was unacceptable. The food was ok but I didn't like much the couscous, too sweet, no meat, just cheap merguez and falafel. Lot of onions on top. I expected some peace of beef besides two ridiculous merguez. Toilet not clean.

Truth be told, it's a simple space, but they have made it feel elegant, with crisp white tablecloths, soft Coltrane playing in the background, low lights, and attentive smart service. If I had to summarize this place in one word it would be couscous. It's not that couscous is all that's on the menu -- there is far more -- but the couscous, particularly the chicken couscous, is what makes this place a star. Often I find couscous monotonous - but this one, with fall-off-the-bone moist chicken, plump raisins, and sweet caramelized onions, kept my mouth interested (and happy). The keftah was equally delicious - four kebabs served with couscous and a simple diced veggie salad. This place was so good that I honestly considered eating dinner there every night during our short stay in Valencia. We ended up spending exactly 30euros on two entrees, one beer, one sparkling water, and a small dessert.

The food was excellent, our waiter was friendly and decor was minimal yet festive and colorful. The menu was also available in English and our waiter understood what being vegan was after we explained our restrictions. The food was bursting with flavors and we made our selections based on our waiters best recommendations. The food was totally authentic, the only awkward thing was having no background noise or music. It was dead silent so we kept our chatter low. Aside that - we'd come back with no hesitation!
