Excellent meal…read more Very nice Moroccan food. Merghez sausage was fantastic. So were the lamb chop and skewers. Not too tough and great flavor. Veggies were good and service was some of the best we've had in Europe. Def worth a stop if you're in Calais and want a Moroccan fix.

After reading the limited reviews (all good though), we thought we should give it a chance. This was an incredibly amazing meal!! We split the sampler platter and the lamb shank. The sampler platter was one delight after another, and hands down the best hummus we have ever had. The lamb shank was second to none, and it took all we had not to order another one. A must visit.

We arrived at 8:30 pm and were seated promptly. At first glance it doesn't look that big however, we were ushered downstairs and found another whole dining room. The decor is very rustic, inviting and lovely. We were trying to figure out if they would notice we carried on of the tables out with us when we left. Service was the best we have received since arrive in England. Very personable, friendly, attentive without hovering. They kept the drinks flowing almost as quickly as we were drinking and ordering them. The food was out of this world. Old world Moroccan, as the owner is from Morocco and take pride in what he serves. There were a variety of dishes ordered: We started with the Azouma and Vegetarian Mix Mezze for mains we ordered a variety of dishes: Lamb Tagine with Prunes, Chicken Tagine (with preserved lemons), Meat Ball Tagine, Vegetarian Tagine, and Lamb Shawarma. The side of Couscous were cooked perfectly. I ordered the Lamb Tagine with Prunes (Slow cooked lamb, prunes, caramelised pears, onions and toasted almonds, with sweet and savoury spices). It is to-date the best lamb that I have had since arrive in England. Most of the lamb so far has had a gamey taste and typically very fatty; this was neither. It was lean, tender and flavoured to perfection. I was also fortunate to try the Baklava - the BEST I've ever had. With ample amounts of flowing drinks, apps, five mains and two desserts the total bill came to about £35 pp. There is limited street parking, best to use the lot across Broad St (Queningate Car Park) close to the wall. You only pay until 9 pm.

The service and ambience were homey, but the tajines were disappointing and prices surprisingly…read morehigh to me. 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.
