OMG! We tried Moro for an early lunch at Oxbow on a weekday. Everything was so delicious I complimented the staff and felt compelled to write a review. We had the beef + couscous, lamb + couscous, shrimp + salad, and eggplant dip + flatbread. Everything had unique, individual flavors (I particularly liked the glaze on the beef), and the portions were generous - none of 3 people were able to eat everything. The food was prepped quickly and we were able to sit outside by the river with our dog. read more

I really wanted to like Moro--Napa has so many lovely spots, and I was hoping this would be another gem. Unfortunately, that was not the case. For the price point, the portions are laughably small. I'm talking "did I order an appetizer or a tasting menu?" kind of small. I left hungry--and not in the cute "I saved room for dessert" way, but more like "where's the nearest taco truck?" hungry. To make matters worse, the manager had a serious attitude. When we politely asked about the portion sizes, we were met with defensiveness and a side of sass. Not exactly the hospitality Napa is known for. The food itself was fine, but it's hard to enjoy anything when the vibe feels tense. I actually started feeling bad for the staff--everyone looked stressed, like they were one poorly folded napkin away from quitting. I hope they're okay. Blink twice if you need help, guys. There are way better options in town--skip this one unless you're into overpriced disappointment served with a frown. read more

Pretty darn good. I had the lamb on salad. There's some yummy crunchies in the salad that are amazing. Fresh, tasty, and came quickly. read more

Beef was tender and well seasoned. coucouse fluffy and tasty. Was so good I ordered the lamb. What a great value for the quality and quantity of food. Service was fast and friendly, Natalie was a great face to the company. Don't hesitate just come And get yours read more

I had the chicken, it was sooooo good. I am salivating about it. Next time I am I. That part I California I will visit them for sure. I tried couple of their sauces and they were a great addition to make the chicken taste even better. read more

We ordered the shrimp flatbread and beef flatbread. Both had their own distinct flavors that were delicious. Beef had a hint of sweetness, and shrimp was very savory. The individual working there apologized for the delay in receiving our food, apparently they had to make a correction to our order. He was very kind and generous about the it and made a considerate gesture to make it better. Honestly, we didn't realize the delay, but we're really impressed by the kindness. The food exceeded expectations. Both the beef and shrimp were cooked perfectly. It's at Oxbow, and there was a bit of a Friday crowd, but overall it was enjoyable. read more

Terrible service. We were ignored by the girl washing dishes who finally came over to take our order. Very gruff. When I asked for a glass she said we don't have glasses!! What do they put their overly priced wine in?? Food was nice but very simple. They were in a rush to close. read more

Good food, Completely miserable staff!! I try to do my best to support local eateries once or twice a week for lunch, as I know its a trying environment right now. Today was a very quiet day for the Oxbow, I walked up to the counter and the employees were all in the back with their arms folded and very slow to come out to take my order. To be honest I almost didn't stop because it felt very negative just walking up to the counter. Nobody before me or after me ordered, I sat down with buzzer within eyeshot, it never went off, everyone just standing around with arms folded, nobody waving me over to get my wrap. I asked if it was mine and she didn't really know at first hesitated and then just said yea. Like I said the wrap was great, but the customer service is abysmal, the kicker is I gave a 20% tip! I feel sorry for the owner/manager who I met a few months back. He seems like a hardworking guy, and Mourad in the city was spectacular. I hope he can find people who are willing to welcome people to try and enjoy his food. People have many choices where to spend their money, it's nice to be appreciated. read more

This place is amazing. The food is so good, 10 out of 10. Everything on the menu taste completely different but is equally as good.

Ordered the shrimp salad and it is blowing my mind!! Owner is awesome, food is fresh and delicious. I'll be back! read more

Moro - Shrimp salad - Moroccan Near Me - Napa, California

Tried the beef + bread + pickled onions - pleasantly surprised. I was unsure of what to expect from my lunch based on the food descriptions but when I received the beef I was in awe! Loved the sweetness to it and it was perfectly tender. Melted right in the mouth and paired well with the pickled onions. The bread was okay - side note with the side of bread, I was expecting like a flat bread. Wish they were more clear that the bread option is basically a sandwich. Anyhow would love to try the other dishes out! read more

Shout out to Moro Moroccan Street Food in the Oxbow Public Market, Napa! We keep coming back for more because this place is an absolute gem. The Lamb or Shrimp plate with couscous is out of this world--seriously a flavor explosion in every bite. The spices and freshness of the ingredients make every dish a trip to flavor town, and it's definitely worth the price. And if you're looking to splurge a bit, definitely add the fries with their delicious aioli sauce--they're a must-try! Just a heads-up, some of the dishes have a spicy kick, which we love, but it's good to know if you're heat-sensitive. If you're at Oxbow Market and looking for something delicious and different, give Moro a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

We visited this location for the fit time and definitely will not be back. Good is ok, the young men that help us wad pleasant but not knowledgeable about gluten allergy. I will admit that I should have known but didn't that couscous was not gluten free. My first thing that asked was --- is there anything gluten free in your menu. After I started eating, I started feeling add and google about couscous, obviously stopped eating right away. Went to the cash register to tell the young men that he needed to be more careful about this because it could be very dangerous for someone. After a few minutes the manager came and literally yelled at me for not knowing. I didn't want anything from him or his business but to inform them that they needed to be more careful read more

Having enjoyed Moroccan food in SF, and San Jose I was pleased to hear MORO moved into the CiCasa spot at Oxbox before expanding into the larger restaurant space they now have overlooking the Napa River. So for lunch My friend and I ordered the Lamb over salad and Beef over salad with mint tea ( Which I thought would be hot) and both very tasty, unique and rich in culinary flavors and variety. The serving was ample and the service was prompt, friendly and energetic. We sat outside at the open tables in the cool Fall air and noted the presentation of the salads was well done, the straws were recyclable and happy to have some diversity of options in Napa and will definitely be coming back. The prices were reasonable given the serving size and the quality of meat and produce was fresh and the preparation detailed . For me the meat was not overdone and I prefer my meats not overcooked so that was a big plus to enjoy the juicy lamb and beef both being not dry. I do miss the traditional sit on the floor cross legged and eat honey chicken with your hands but the oxbow space is not big enough for that! read more

Loved this new Moroccan street food gran and go offered by renowned chef Mourad Lahlou. They just opened last week and I was happily impressed. We ordered: Beef on couscous - slow-cooked short rib grilled w/ el hanout, honey and green charmoula. This was tender, savory and when paired with the slightly sweet couscous...delicious and filling. Couscous was a mix of raisins, chickpeas, sliced almonds and harissa. Shrimp on salad - the shrimp was grilled and basted in red charmoula with preserved lemon. The salad was romaine and kale in a rose vinaigrette with tomatoes, dates and Kalamata olives. The shrimp was well marinated with a nice brightness from the lemon and a nice combination with the salad. We also picked up the eggplant zarlouk- A savory and lemony puréed eggplant topped with pine nuts and served in a plastic twist top jar and accompanied with flat breads. So good! Look for them in Oxbow Market next to Hog Island Oyster!! read more

Just finished eating the chicken Shawarma dish. Well, it was pretty average, short on flavor, and didn't live up to the hype of the Yelp reviews. The heavy set Caucasian guy that took my order at the counter was gruff and not very helpful or friendly. I am a proud "POC" (person of color), and it clearly appeared he was much more friendly & accommodating with the Caucasian people who ordered after me. That said, food was not worth $25 & portion was quite small. With all the excellent food options at Oxbow, I would not recommend this place to anyone, particularly if you are a "POC". read more

Loved the cauliflower on flatbread. Unusual fun toppings on the softserve. Fantastic service - they really make the effort! read more

Get the shrimp with flatbread and thank me later. I've had it 3x now and once I had two of em back to back.

Delicious healthy Moroccan food. I tried the shrimp with couscous & enjoyed it. Shrimp tasted fresh & the couscous had a nice mix of flavors from the raisins & spices read more

It is terrible food at an awful high price. We get served a kids size for an adult plate of Lamb shank. The couscous tasted like cooked the night before. read more

Moro - Moroccan Near Me - Napa, California

Came in this evening and was impressed all over again. The wine selection here is limited, but it's quality over quantity (I mean come on, it's Amuse Bouche wines). The food and service here just keeps getting better. I just left a review a week ago, and just left the restaurant an our ago... and I already want to go back. Thank you! read more

Extremeley rude staff. Lady in the glasses was impatient and gave a lot of attitude when we were just trying to figure out the menu. Parents are immigrants so they had some trouble but the lady was not having it and told us to go to the back of the line while she helps others. Food was good though. read more

Cauliflower on flatbread was insanely delicious. The portion is way too small for lunch, and for the price. I left pretty hungry.

My wife and I went for lunch specifically to try Moro. OMG, the food was stunning, especially the short ribs in a salad. The ribs were the most amazing I have ever had anywhere. I think they are made in the same 3-day process as Morad does. The spices were just so delightful and the salad had unusual spices and fresh ingredients that made it a joy to eat. My wife had the chicken in a pita-like wrap that was delicious, but the ribs on the salad was THE dish to get. read more

Met with a few of our carnivorous friends at the Napa Oxbow Market where all of us could find something to fancy our appetite. This was the first time that Moro was open since I'd been there last. On a tray there was a sampling of their harissa candied pecans that I gobbled up instantly! The service was spectacular and without any question I was able to make their cauliflower entree vegan. They offer a selection of main that can be made in to either a flatbread wrap with pickled veggies and fresh greens, a delicious looking salad abundantly full of fresh produce or topped on a traditional couscous with raisins, almonds, chickpeas, and pea shoots. I opted for the wrap which was topped with two of their dairy free sauces and a side of fries. I of course had to purchase two of their containers of the pecans that I sampled. As I sat down with my friends and partner at a table in the middle of the busy market my first bite brought a hushed silence and I was immediately in flavor heaven! Everyone gazed at my choice with intrigue and with another mouthful I told them they would not be disappointed! I'm already thinking of my next one just as we've departed. Lastly, and the most unexpected treat of the meal had to be the pickle spear. I would definitely call myself a pickle girl but I believe this could convince even the most picky pickle eaters to rethink their choices. 100/10!!! read more

Excellent food and terrific service! Conveniently located in oxbow. Chicken salad was great as was the birassa

I love my little less than an hour getaway to Napa, and was thrilled when I discovered this place. Unfortunately, I won't be going back, as no matter how much I like the food. I'd rather spend my money at a place where I will have a pleasant experience. I always order the lamb on flatbread, and in the past, although the salad isn't really offered as a side (the mains come with either flatbread, salad or couscous), I have always been able to get it as a side. It doesn't seem like such an unreasonable request. Today I was charged the price of the entire main ($21) for the salad. Pretty outrageous, and I told the guy taking my order that I have never paid $21 for a salad. I should have just refused, but I was ordering to go, he had already rung it up, and I was in a hurry. When I got back to where I am staying, I realized he had given me two mains - one with flatbread and one with salad - not at all what I wanted. Something is off here. Since I have been able to get it in the past, I suspect the restaurant just isn't training their staff well enough. That's the generous assumption. The other is they just have now instituted a lousy policy. Either way, as I said above, I'd rather spend my money where I have a pleasant experience. read more

The food was amazing. I had the chicken couscous and a piece of the corn bread with harissa sauce. My coworkers had the chicken flat bread and loved it. The couscous was amazing. It was my first time trying it and I plan on going back. The service was great. The people who worked there were very friendly and the food came out quickly. Good lunch spot! Everything was amazing but the corn bread portion could have been a bit bigger in my opinion. All in all, I would highly recommend it read more

Had a fabulous lunch here today!! Unassuming restaurant with a beautiful combination of food. Choose your beef, lamb, shrimp or cauliflower, each prepared with a different type of moroccan spice. Then pair it with couscous, flatbread, or salad. I had shrimp with salad and the salad surprisingly had a lovely combination of olives, nuts and dates! Delicious!! read more

I needed a late lunch before cocktails with friends and thought great, I'll go by the Oxbow Market for a quick bite. So I thought I'd try the new Moroccan street good restaurant Moro I loved the food at Moro. Very impressed. Looking forward to working through the menu. I had the Beef . You have a choice of protein along with a choice of salad, couscous or flatbread. Get the Couscous (you can always order a side of the other). It was light and fluffy with a drizzle of an aromatic sauce, slivered almonds and sweet plump yellow raisins. The beef comes sliced and extremely tender. Marinated with a great seasoned rub. Flavors really balanced. Good portions. Was going to take half home but ate it all!! This would make great take out. Great addition to the Oxbow venue. read more

Amazing food! Have been a few times and never disappoints. Such a phenomenal mix of Mediterranean flavors in every bite. Vegetarian friendly, and their desserts and mint iced tea are great. Highly recommend. read more

Moro - Cauliflower with house salad, beef with couscous, and baklava with pistachios - Moroccan Near Me - Napa, California

Wow wow wow. I have been to Mourad and Aziza, so I had some obvious expectations for this place. It's in the Oxbow market, which isn't the typical setting compared to his other restaurants. But, don't ever let that stop you from trying it. The food is exceptional and is definitely up to the standards of his other restaurants. I found everything to be ridiculously delicious. The kind of delicious where you take a bite and you smile thinking, "This is actually stupid how good it is". The beef short rib over couscous and the lamb wrapped in flatbread were especially great, and the fries were good- it was just the sauces that carried them (which are amazing). Don't skip out on the cornbread or zaalouk either, I promise you won't regret it. Can't wait to visit again one day! read more

Everything about this place was amazing!!!!! The food was superb and so delicious. I would pop up a tent out front just to smell the aroma coming from the kitchen. Kudos read more

Hands down, the best food at Oxbow. The Chicken, Lamb and Beef are perfectly seasoned. The Hummus/Flatbread delish. Great wines BTG as well. Save room for the Chocolate cookie! read more

"Excellent service and consistently fresh food! The cauliflower salad bowl is absolutely superb!"

Its edible. Incredibly salty. Not super light. Makes you feel like a stone has dropped in your belly. AVOID.

Great addition to Oxbow, adds a bit of diversity in the food offerings. I love the cauliflower dish. Super friendly service as well. I hope Moro does well and stays at Oxbow! read more

Love all the options of wraps, couscous or salad. Absolutely delicious flavors. We tried the lamb wrap & chicken salad. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Wish price point was a bit lower but always happy when I eat the food. Highly recommend!

The food here is excellent. Reminds me exactly of the flavors we found on our multiple trips to Marrakech souks and the Jemaa el-Fnaa square. The fact it is now so accessible in the Oxbow Market is excellent too. My family has already been here multiple times, and will come back many more! read more
