The guy then told us that we had to order in 5 minutes or the kitchen would be closed (this was at 8pm). I called our hotel (who had recommended the place) and had them speak to the owner. We left as quickly as we could. Never going back here. Paris has many incredible restaurants. Don't waste your time and money on this one. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

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.

Ok, so if you are looking for a Marocan place for diner in Paris, this restaurant can indeed do it…read more It's been apparently around for a while, since 1946 indeed. I had a Vegetable couscous and to be perfectly honest I had never been in a marocan restaurant since I turned vegan. So a bit difficult to make a sound opinion. However, the couscous was good and fresh. The freshness was worrisome as we where the only table in the restaurant. Probably one of these slow Tuesday might. Never the less the food was good, and the decor truly takes you away from Paris. So overall, and until I find one that I like best, this is the place I would recommend for now. The staff was very nice, the price reasonable and the food was good and again freshly made. Still far away from Majouba's couscous, but then again Majouba is not a restaurant, just an tremendous cook that used to work as a maid when I was a kid and that could make us travel without leaving the house. Too bad she isn't around anymore.

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.

The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, our waiter was very friendly and professional. We started with vegetable Briouats, small crisp triangles, yummy. The couscous was the star of the evening, one of the best I've ever had (the Prince for my husband, merguez for me). The portions were very generous and we were wondering if we should have shared one. Still, I couldn't resist the Pastilla for dessert, light layers of phillo, amazing.

He was the only server and there were several tables full and everything ran so smoothly! I'm impressed with his skills! We ordered a sampler plate to start and it had sausages, lamb, olives, eggplant, pimentos, and a cucumber relish. It was great, but in the future I probably would not order this, because the entree portions are huge. For our meal, we ordered couscous with lamb shank and lamb with exotic fruits. Both of these dishes were to die for! I want to go back already! The exotic fruits were: apricots, prune and figs. The decor was so beautiful, I felt like I was in Morocco!
