The main dining room downstairs is a long, narrow space with limited buffer between tables. That was fine for an early Saturday lunch, but I imagine it makes for an unbearably loud experience when the place gets busy. Service was extremely friendly and made you feel welcomed. Quite a few regulars dropped by for a quick lunch while we were there, adding to the overall warm ambience.
I ordered the tajine with lamb, prunes, and almonds. It had a ton of broth but wasn't served with any bread to soak it up. I also didn't find it particularly filling. If I were to return, I'd stick to the couscous as that received better praise from my fellow diners and appeared to be what all the regulars were ordering. Prices also took me by surprise given these are inexpensive dishes to make. As a minor concession, you can get a free kir house cocktail with your 2016 carte Chti.
Unless I were in the area in desperate need of a couscous, I'd go with another option.
