    Chicken and lamb kufta platter
    Ognjenka Z.

    A wonderful place ! Like stepping into another world, really makes you feel like you are in another place . Beautiful ambiance and decor. They have large couches perfect for parties and some smaller ones as well for more intimate gatherings . I had a large birthday party here, I spoke with the owner to get the bigger table. He is very nice and accommodating. Since we came on a Saturday night the menu is prefixed. It comes to about 42 per person, but definitely worth it . They serve appetizers before like shrimp kebobs and these meat cigars that were sweet and both were amazing . You can choose a main course of lamb, fish, or chicken . Since we had a large party broken into 3 smaller tables we picked them all and it was delicious ! My whole crew left with to go bags.! You can even bring a cake which they serve after and they do sing happy birthday ! I didn't have a cake yet the server brought me one of their slices and actually still sang ! They also served sweet mint tea at the end of the night . The party lasts from 6 to 9 which is plenty of time ( they try to wrap things up because they have another batch of people coming 9 to 12 ) . They had a belly dancer at 7 for us and she was amazing ! Very skillful and talented and interacts with the crowd . Even after she left they played music and we danced throughout the night ! A very awesome place for a party !

    I'll keep this short& sweet- the service was fast and efficient, the food was very flavorful& came in huge portions, and the ambiance was awesome. Loved how immersed we felt, sad we weren't there on a Friday for the belly dancing! Will definitely be coming back :) don't sleep on this place just because it's in a strip mall!

    Lamb

    I picked this place out for a place to meet up with two friends. I am so happy I did! Food - The pre-fixed menu was absolutely perfect. Everything was delicious! For the mail meal, we ordered the lamb. If you are not used to the taste of lamb, I would suggest the fish (I will try that next time) or chicken. The tea they give after is amazing as well. It is BYOB, so there is a Joe Canals nearby to get alcohol. If you ask for water, they give you bottled water. Service - The service was excellent. The woman that worked there was so kind and so were the waiters. It was lovely. Ambiance - It is great for couples and for groups. We saw both there. There is a lot of seating areas and the decoration is very pretty. Fridays around (7:30) and Saturdays they have belly dancers. We went Friday and the belly dancer was absolutely gorgeous. She tried to get everyone up and dancing or involved with the show, so bring some cash! The only downside was the cleaning supplies smell like diaper/baby products. There was a certain smell in some areas but I could handle it!

    A friend surprised me on my birthday by taking me to Marakesh for dinner. The decor is amazing, lots of drapes, shiny golden metal tables, and the couches are super comfortable. We were quickly seated, and were given wine glasses. This spot is BYOB. The menu for dinner had two prix fixe options, both of which included the appetizer buffet. The appetizer table included hummus, salads, baba ganoush, olives, and other dips. They were all pretty good. For my entree, I got the lamb tagine. It was tasty and extremely tender. It was so soft, it practically fell off the bone. The surprise was the belly dancer. She was quite skilled and entertaining to watch. Not sure of many other restaurants in the area with this kind of atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit

    Wow - baby lamb tagine is amazing!
    Cat M.

    What a fun unique place this is! Wonderful setting inside - you would never know you are dining at a restaurant in a strip mall on 46. Beautifully decorated with darkened lighting & comfortable couches to sit on. We started with the falafel - crispy & excellently prepared. There are so many tasty sounding apps that it's difficult to not just order all apps! Dinner entree's come with a delicious salad - dressed perfectly with a great amount of goodies in it. My entree was the baby lamb tagine & my husband got the mixed grill. Entree's come with rice & pita. The lamb was fork-tender & came right off the bone & my husband thoroughly enjoyed his meal. We ended the meal with baklava & an orange blossom crispy dessert that blew away the baklava. That is the one to order - the orange blossom dessert is so unique & so flavorful. Weekend evenings there is a belly dancer - definitely a place to come back to!

    Hot, sweetened mint tea

    5 star food, service and ambiance. When I finished, I thought to myself, I just had a perfect meal. I recommend the chicken tagine where the meat melted off the bone. The tastes aren't so strong that a person unfamiliar with Moroccan cuisine would regret trying it. Friendly and timely service. Lovely experience.

    This was my first visit here with our group. Outstanding service paired with excellent food left me wanting more. For appetizers we had cigar rolls and shrimp. Both were delicious. We all shared the Tangine Lemon Chicken, a Lamb dish and another dish which I think was a mixture of kabobs served on a bed of rice. The Lamb was all sorts of amazing and one member of our party said it was the best lamb he ever had. See below for our food selections. The owner picked them out himself. Oh, and the dessert finished w/ mint tea was the perfect end to our night. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Hands down if I lived here I would return often. Be sure to BYOB!

    Cute outside decor

    This restaurant was very nice and very authentic and cultural. It was aesthetically pleasing, Makes You feel like you're in dining in morocco which is pretty cool. Now some options here could be limited. If there's a certain amount of people at the table you may have to order the family style meals. I had made reservations for four people and we chose to do the family style which worked out pretty good- there's two different choices you can choose from one I believe was $45 one is like $35. My group had the salmon and the mix platter along with the meat cigars which are strange but good it's meat that season with like cinnamon nutmeg flavors in eggroll wrapper..it was good. Along with the salad bar and shrimp skewers. It's BYOB! Which is a big plus. The downfall for me was the fact that I had made reservations for 7 PM, Being told that belly dancing was going to be around 730 or eight. So I went in thinking I'll only be there till like 9 o'clock because I do like to be in and out once I'm done eating... so this was about an hour drive from my house as it was so I was really hoping again to leave by 9. But that information was wrong so the belly dancing did not start till nine and when she told me that I figured OK well I guess I'll just miss the belly dancing and maybe I'll catch another time-- But NO. They took forever to bring the food and it really seemed like they were pushing for us to stay till the belly dancing started because they charge a two dollar entertainment fee as well. I was very disappointed that I was here for almost 4 hours because again I had an hour ride home. I really didn't like this and for this reason I won't come back because they shouldn't operate like this. For a one time thing I would say do it if it's close And the food is pretty good but because there are there places that do offer the same things I wouldn't come back to this restaurant. Food: 5/5 Service: 2/5 Entertainment: 3.5/5 Price: ranges from $11-$30 i would say $$

The food is worth trying and I am a fan already. It's not a big place , but a cosy one with amazing people to welcome you and serve the best food.

The bread was complementary. The grape leaves was something I wanted to try since forever and it turned out to be an amazing treat. The garlic butter shrimp was perfect for my Indian taste buds, we also loved the Adana kabab with came with this taziki sauce and some rice, the fish mixed grill which came with sauce too, was a bit dry and less on salt and pepper. The dessert and the coffee gave me the kick I needed. Well over all it was a good experience and I would come back again!

For the price and flavor it was so worth it. I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky.

I enjoyed it so much that I decided to return yesterday. This time, I went alone. I was excited to go back, until the moment I walked in and was immediately asked whether I had a reservation. I said no. I was one person, and there were plenty of empty tables. Despite that, I was placed in a freezing corner by the door. It was uncomfortable and honestly unwelcoming. Nowhere on your website does it say "reservations only," yet that's exactly how I was treated. I felt so uncomfortable that I chose to leave without even placing an order. I walked in ready to spend money and enjoy a meal, and instead I walked out feeling dismissed. You lost a paying customer. What makes this worse is that I later told the same friend I originally went with, and she shared that when she calls ahead for a party of two, they simply tell her to come in because there are plenty of seats and that reservations aren't even required. So clearly, reservations are not the issue. That makes the way I was treated feel intentional and different. As a Palestinian who spends a lot of time in Paterson, I'm very familiar with Middle Eastern restaurants and pricing. Lentil soup is a staple on our menus. I know what a reasonable price looks like. For example, Kral Pide in Paterson charges $7. Charging $15 for lentil soup is excessive. It's not just high, it's outrageous. I'm extremely disappointed. I came back because I genuinely liked this place. Instead, I left feeling uncomfortable and disrespected. I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone, nor will I be bringing friends or family to this establishment again.
