Most of the meats were quite dry, especially the sausages that I was looking forward to try. The beef chunks were delicious though. The cooked vege and potatoes were pretty cold when served with not much flavors, I wonder why they didn't heat them up in the back like how they heated up the lamb shank. FYI, they have a total of one 2 persons table and three high chairs for the side countertop. read more

Little Morocco - Chicken couscous - Moroccan Near Me - Astoria, New York

. Our hotel was located on Steinway St. in Astoria, and there were so many choices on Steinvway St, but we were attracted to Little Morocco because of the line winding out the door and down the street. Most of the customers were taking food home (It was Iftar, during Ramadan), but the line went fast. When it was our turn, we were greeted by the host, who explained the menu options (this was our first time with tagine). We chose the lamb shank, Baba Ghanoush, a delicious tomato soup. Food came quickly, and was so delicious. You order, then find a table, and they bring the food over. We wanted to order a tagine, but we could tell by the dishes others were having that we wouldn't be able to finish any more! Each dish was exceptional! The lamb was well seasoned, the rice perfectly cooked, and the peas were a great veggie. The BG was different, smooth and very eggplant. The soup was spicy and tasty. The best part was the festive spirit of the Little Morocco; the family next to us were Moroccon and explained a little more about the food, shared some of the goodies that they got for dessert, and just made it a wonderful experience. Then the owner came over to make sure we were well taken care of, explained that the BG in Morocco was different than what we might be used to, and brought over some delightful sweets, and mint tea to go with it, to make it a great meal. We are headed back tomorrow for a Tagine for sure!!! read more

Little Morocco - Lamb Shank - Moroccan Near Me - Astoria, New York

Small neighborhood joint serving Moroccan casual food. It's a counter where you order what you want and they bring it to your table. It's an informal setting but they had good options of grilled meats as well as tagines. Got the mixed meat platter- it was seasoned well- however the price which is around 26-27 dollars was high for the amount of food you get and how casual the restaurant was. It was a good platter to sample a little bit of everything though. read more

The worst experience ever, shame on the owner who's running this operation . They don't have a clue about Moroccan food. I asked for mixed grilled and I got meat overcooked with excessive spices that would give a bad taste to a simple delicious Moroccan dish. I could not eat it please do not waste your time either your money on this place.shame shame!! read more

whenever I miss eating some homemade food from back home, this is my go-to. All the dishes are well served with a great amount and enough tastiness to fulfill your desire. Service is quick and easy, and I love the outdoor seating area. read more

Got a kebab platter, chicken platter & meatball platters. All the meat was delicious & the rice was soft & flavorful. I just wish they would put a little more meatballs in the meatball platter. Hummus is perfect . They have a few tables inside but it's a bit congested & they also have outdoor dining space. read more

A small hole in the wall restaurant that we stumbled upon. I've never had Moroccan food so I was quite excited. The chicken was really juicy and tender. And the meat slipped right off the bond. All the salvors really worked well together. There is seating under a tent outside of the restaurant, which is where we sat and it was quite cold even though there was a heater nearby read more

Little Morocco - Lamb shank , rice, peas, potatoes. For under 20 bucks cant go wrong with that. - Moroccan Near Me - Astoria, New York

I live nearby so this is my go-to place if I'm ever in the mood for fries and lamb. They honestly have the best thin fries in the neighborhood, and they give you so much for 5$ for a large. My favorite side is zaalouk. I recommend the merguez platter (as pictured). Sometimes they give me a side of salad instead of peas tho. One time I ordered a tangine to go, and portion of it was way too small in my opinion. read more

Ordered Zaalouk and chicken tagine and what arrived was Baba Ghanoush and chicken over rice. The "tagine" has no sauce. The item on the menu did not mention rice. It said vegetables and chicken. I politely called to have my order corrected and they hung up on me. I was excited to try this Moroccan restaurant but my experience was not great. read more

Little Morocco - Baba Ghanoush Zaalouk Chicken Tagine - Moroccan Near Me - Astoria, New York

Delicious and cheap Moroccan food! It's also Halal. The inside is a bit cramped with a couple of stool seating, but there are outdoor tables. I had the merguez sandwich, chicken tagine, and sweet paratha all for under $20. They were all delicious! The lamb merguez sandwich was flavorful and not dry. The bread was also very good, slightly crispy on the outside and not hard. I didn't even need a drink to wash it down. The tagine dishes comes with rice and two vegetable sides (potatoes and peas) which were all delicious. The only negative is that the breast part of the chicken was a bit dry but that's always the problem when cooking chicken. I would definitely come back again! read more

Yelpers have helped this girl decide what was on the menu on a saturday afternoon! This was a few blocks from my fiance. Apartment so we walked in to this little corner spot checked out the menu and places our order. Ill be honest i had to look up prior to coming what a tagine is. Once i looked it up its the type of way food is prepared in a certain dish and fluted top lid.. ive seen them before i thought. I just didnt know what they were called! I ordered the chicken tagine which came with rice and two sides. The nice gentlman added some eggplant whicj i said sure. Not knowing what it was and some red sauce. I choose potatoes and peas. My fiance ordered the lamb kebab platter. He was happy to know his lamb had to be cooked fresh. Once mine was put together i wanted to pay for the order and this guy said is this your first time here i said yes and he said here you eat first then pay. Mind you they also only take cash! Here is my 101 on the delicious meal Rice- super tender Potatoes. Perfectly cooked Eggplant caponata like topping my favorite Peas- In a beautiful lightly oiled Chicken-fall off the bone tender. Well seasoned super moist! Finally time to pay our bill and he gave us some moroccon tea to try. I loved the old world kettle it was huge but definitely an antique! Ps he has a fancy was of pouring it which i was impressed with. The tea was perfect slightly sweet. Had a generous amount of fresh mint and refreshing... We were headed to look for some fateer so we went to the bakery next door and they actually pointed us back to the Little Morocco place. So i walked in and inquired. I think the moroccon version of an Egyptian fateer. Was really good it didnt look the same but had the flavors there. They warmed it and folded some honey into it. He said this will go perfect with the tea too go ahead sit back down i will bring it to you! Not only was the food super reasonably priced. The food was excellent. The guys went above and beyond to make out first experience here something to rave about! We will be back! read more

I came in Friday night with my boo. You know what that means, COUSCOUS! We sat in there covered outdoor space and when the food was brought to the table and I was pleasantly surprised. Two ginormous plates of couscous with meat and vegetables, topped off with sweet mixture of caramelized onions and raisins. We also got a side of harira soup because it was a freezing and we needed something to warm us up. The food was delicious! Everything was well seasoned and so tender. The bf finished all his food but there was just too much for me. We took it home along with some stuffed msemen and another bread that I forget the name of. Definitely coming back read more

This place isn't as tasty as Cafe Mogador, but Mogador is pricy and also the owners don't practice voodoo and witchcraft. Which makes them very boring. Whereas the owners of LM do. In that sense, they are a "Little More-Occult." What to get: Maybe the Merguez Sandwich What else: Don't let them put a curse on you By the way, I am well aware that Morrocco is not associated with voodoo. I've actually been to Morrocco. Now who wants to touch me. The service at Little Morrocco was decent but not amazing. Parking is tough. I had to wait in a bus stop. The wait time was long, which was a little frustrating since I was in a hurry. I ordered the Merguez sandwich, which was pretty cheap (well under $10). I wanted an actual Morroccan meal dish (such as with Couscous) but they were either unavailable or overpriced (depending on what I asked about), and a lot of them were sitting out buffet-style so that didn't seem worth the steep-ish prices. Which is why I plumped for the sandwich. My notes say that this sandwich was "nice but not amazing" which is exactly how I feel about it. Also I love olives, and I asked if olives were on the sandwich and he said "okay." I guess he must have thought I meant no olives, because there were no olives on there. I would have probably enjoyed it more if there were. My partner loved it, and I did enjoy it to some degree, but I think part of my issue was that the Merguez really didn't taste of anything. I can't really remember what Merguez is supposed to taste like, but I remember it having a very unique flavour, whereas this was a very bland meat. A nice sandwich, but nothing more than nice. And if you're used to having 6 and 7 inches to play with at night, but you want some Latin guys who are more like an "8", then what you need is a "Little More Ocho." read more

I enjoyed their mint tea. They pour hot tea into a cup with fresh mint in it. The tea was hot and refreshing. The service was good. They have outdoor seating. It seems to be a popular place because they were people coming and going. I will decibel visit this place again for the tea and to try their dishes. read more

Food was so good highly recommend this place. I tried The mergez sandwich and kofta tagine. Tastes really good

Love how authentic the food & vibe is here, you order inside, pull up a chair on their sidewalk seating and eat the yummiest traditional Moroccan food across a beautiful mosque. Get the lamb merguez platter, soooo good! read more

This small restaurant is always very popular. Inside seating is limited. It's too cold to sit outside so inside the restaurant is packed. When the weather is nice, many people chill in outside seating but when it's cold it seems like many people just quick eat and go so more people will be able to eat there. I never got tajine with tajine plate before but I go there often enough? I always get tajine plate now. It helps food to stay hot. I don't know how they decide the price. One day very very low price. One day it gets little more but still good price. Sometimes I get little bothered by getting defferent prices from the same food I ordered before. The food is worth the price anyway. Many workers don't speak good English but they are all very nice and friendly. Please just be patient. I have been trying to tell them I dont want green peas but they kept giving me so I gave up and eat them. Yeah, I can eat green peas now. They are actually good. read more

This neighborhood joint serves authentic, hearty Moroccan and other Middle Eastern food with brisk and friendly service. I came here for dinner on a cool, breezy evening, perfect for sitting outside. There are few table in the cramped space indoors, so eating outside is definitely preferred if dining in. My boyfriend ordered the chicken meatball platter ($9), which came with a generous portion of yellow rice, vegetables, and a tomato-based sauce. I ordered the lamb shank tagine ($12), which also came with similar sides. We absolutely loved our orders. The lamb was so tender and flavorful, as were the vegetables. More disappointing as the msemen bread, which was heated upon request but came out very dry and somewhat hard. I think it had been sitting out for a while, and was not fresh, soft, crispy, and flaky as I was expecting from my time in Marrakech. Msemen to this day is the one of the things I remember most about my time in Morocco in 2009, and I seek it out whenever I can. This version, alas, was a far cry from perfection. Service was a bit slow--we had to ask for water and our msemen twice--but given the value and quality of food, that can be forgiven. Overall, a wonderfully satisfying meal experience. read more

This place is really great. The food is super amazing. You know a place is good when natives eat there themselves. I had the lamb, my friend had the fish. Both on the bone. The flavor was amazing, not gamey at all! the fish was fresh and really moist. The flavor was great. The staff did not speak english too well, but they are very friendly and try their best. I would say, pay before you eat, check the prices. A native in the restaurant told my friend and I they tend to charge non-natives more. My favorite was the tea with fresh mint. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

No clue how there are so many 4 stars and 5 stars. I ordered the lamb kebab platter with french fries and I came home to see only a handful of lamb. There were vegetables in it too. I thought I was going to receive rice but I only got a small normal bread to eat with it. What a waste of money, the lamb did not even taste good. I could cook better than what is being served here. read more

Friday. Lamb Shank over Couscous. Don't even think twice. I've had this twice now only because I really always think of this place on Friday. And sometimes, I'm not anywhere near Little Morocco on Fridays. But when I do remember that it's Friday and it's Lamb over Couscous day... ITS ON SON! In fact, every Friday since I've tried this, I've thought "SHIT, I'm missing MFn Lamb Shank and Couscous!!!" Imagine this... The most moist and flavorful couscous of your life, COVERED with a freshly made lamb shank Complete with Bone Marrow, a few hundred chick peas, carrots, onions, and squash (I think it's squash, this is the only thing I can think of). $10 for this huge plate of food. If you can finish the whole thing, well, you're a fatty. I can't wait to try everything else on this menu. But.. maybe I'll just go back for Lamb and Couscous. :DDDD!!! read more

Little Morocco - Couscous and lamb!! - Moroccan Near Me - Astoria, New York

I give LM 4 stars for the merguez sandwich and 2 stars for the lamb kebab sandwich. The merguez was flavorful and soft but the lamb kebab wasn't consistent. Some of the pieces were dry and chewy. The sandwiches came on a hero accompanied with the usual trio of lettuce, onions and tomatoes. I've been here twice now and both times there was some guy in there causing a ruckus. Different guys each time but equally noisy. Only they know what it was all about cos they were speaking Arabic. They have a hot food counter inside with some fried fish (whiting maybe?) and lamb shanks that looks pretty good. If I ever come back, I'll try those instead. read more

Little Morocco - Hot bar - Moroccan Near Me - Astoria, New York

I came back here meaning to just try the falafel because I was in the neighborhood. Then the person in front of me ordered a merguez and I had to get that. Not in place of the falafel, in addition to the falafel. As my sister occasionally says, I didn't get this way by eating salads. The merguez is still awesome, and I really liked the falafel sandwich also. I was a little nervous about the green olives, but the combo worked. Just go here already. If there's only one thing slightly close to a negative, it's that my old apartment was not that far away (maybe 15 minute walk) and they said they wouldn't deliver there. But if you're going to go and get 2 sandwiches, you should probably walk there and back anyway. read more

Great corner restaurant in Astoria. I've been twice now, and both times were wonderful. Prices are cheap, the staff is nice, and the Moroccan mint tea is a fun treat/drink to add to your meal as it comes in a beautiful silver pot with matching cups. We ordered a smattering of things to share with friends. The leg of lamb was incredibly tender, the kebabs well-seasoned and grilled, and the vegetables went perfectly with the couscous and rice. I might have actually liked the vegetables (peas and potatoes) most of all, which sounds odd but they were THAT good. read more

To keep it simple, Little Morocco is home to flavorful food. I'm a huge fan of the merguez, which is a spicy beef sausage (from North Africa) and I've recently tried the chicken meatballs here, which has also become one of my favorites! I typically get mixed vegetables and peas on the side of rice, which are always cooked to perfection. Never mushy, just crisp and delicious. I have to admit though, that some of the soups here are disappointing. The fava bean soup was extremely bland. The one I typically go for is their lentil soup. The other thing to keep in mind here is that sometimes they run out of items on the menu for that day so your favorite dish may as well be sold out (has happened to me a few times). Other than that, this is one of favorite take-out places in Astoria! read more
