    Mint tea
    Cheyenne T.

    A very small (3 tables) eatery with delicious Moroccan food. We came because of the "where do Moroccan people go when they're homesick and hungry vid". There were limited options and the couscous items are only available on certain days so we couldn't try. The items we did try were delicious! The chicken pastilla was like a chicken baklava lol. The top was sweet like a dessert so if you don't like salty sweet food this may not be for you. The lamb was fall off the bone. Not gaimy and very flavorful. The mint tea was great to balance everything out. I'd def come back to try the other items! Want to note that it's not quite a sit down restaurant and more like a bakery or deli with seats.

    If you're looking for traditional Moroccan dishes, this the place to go! Great food, clean and nice atmosphere. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    Moroccan Bites is one of the most exciting North African eateries in the city and also one of the most pleasant locales for an afternoon cup of tea near Steinway. I came here primarily to try the msemen, similar to other North African flatbreads like Tunisian mlewi, but served sweet with butter and honey. It paired excellently with a cup of the mint tea, which the owner was kind enough to serve for us in the typical "pulled" fashion to aerate the tea. We ordered the vegetarian kosksi (couscous) to go, which was served with a spice-infused brown butter sauce and was absolutely excellent. For good measure, we added the seffa, a subtle and delicate sweet vermicelli-based dish with cinnamon, not dissimilar to couscous-based masfouf.

    The food and the service here were amazing. The family who ran this mom and pop shop were so friendly and nice. I got the chicken pastilla and the lamb tajine. I definitely want to come back and try the couscous, I heard great things about it!

    We had a company lunch catering by Moroccan Bites by Siham. We ordered lamb shanks, chicken, rice and couscous with veggie/beef. Everything was so delicious. I wish I had a bigger stomach. The food was visually and physically satisfying. Lamb was very tender. It pulled apart when you picked it up. It was marinated and cooked with apricots and prunes. I never knew they go so well together. Couscous was light as clouds. Vegetables and beef were soft and flavorful. Chickens were roasted with skin. Brown glazed skin on top and juicy in the meat. I had a thigh piece. Wonderful cut. Meat was very fresh. The rice was also cooked with many different ingredients with chopped green/red peppers, moist yet light. It is a family owned restaurant. They are nice and friendly. Very helpful. Definitely authentic Moroccan food. The restaurant has great cultural decorations. They also have many desserts options.

    Absolutely loved coming to Moroccan Bites! Shoukran bzzf your restaurant is Authentic Moroccan dishes that bring me home to Maghreb! What a beautiful new space as well I love the simple yet exquisite Moroccan designs! It was such a beautiful Iftar with my cousin and I cannot wait to come back for Rfissa Insha'Allah If you visit here, you will love it all Bess7a!

    I had an exceptional experience at Moroccan Bite by Siham. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, elegant, and authentically Moroccan. The décor, the music, and the welcoming energy make you feel like you've stepped into a beautiful home in Morocco rather than just a restaurant. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavors and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. You can taste the tradition in every bite -- perfectly balanced spices, beautifully presented plates, and portions that are both generous and satisfying. It's rare to find Moroccan cuisine done this well. What truly made the experience special was the hospitality. The service was attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire evening feel personal and memorable. Moroccan Bite by Siham is truly a gem. If you want authentic Moroccan food, a beautiful atmosphere, and a dining experience that feels special from beginning to end, this is the place. I will absolutely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for one of the best Moroccan dining experiences around. Fatima

    Lamb tagia and chicken tagine

    The lamb tagia was the best meat I ever had and bread was delicious, beautiful ambience as well. 10/10

    With the owner, Ms.Ms. Siham

    I went to this restaurant for the first time on a Saturday afternoon and I had a really delicious lunch. Portions were generous and everything was authentic and tasty. I had the Harira soup followed by beef couscous. I met the owners when they came out to check on the customers. I highly recommend this restaurant. The decor was pleasant and very Moroccan.

    Came here today for Iftar. Everything was good the service, food and Siham is such a great women welcoming people very sweet and successful, I used to go to her old location she always been very friendly. I highly recommend Moroccan bites by Siham. Also the decoration of her restaurant is just an example of Moroccan culture.

    Mint tea

    We came here for the gazelle horns cookies, and ordered dinner as well. The lamb tangia was flavorful, and the fish is tender. The fish is good for anyone to enjoy, even those whose teeth cannot manage chewing too much meat. The lamb is served on the bone. The gazelle horns are as authentic as they could be. I'm very glad I found these in NY. The mint tea smells better than it tastes, but the presentation is impressive. The service is a little slow, but they try to do their best on a weekend evening. If they can turn down their music a bit, it would have been perfect.

    lamb shank and chicken pastilla

    This meal was nothing short of life changing. The food is clearly cooked with love and the staff is very friendly. This place is a must-visit.

    The chicken was all gone so I went with lamb and the beef tagines. Ordered a variety of things and it was great. It was a quite the wait to get to ordering and also serving, maybe 45 minutes? But the food was delicious and will definitely be on the radar for next time we're back ! Got a $100 parking ticket so that wasn't fun ending to the meal

This is officially my new go to spot and I'm going to be telling everyone about it. I got there right at our reservation time, but the uptown trains had completely stopped and my friend had to walk all the way from Canal St to the East Village. It took her about 30 minutes to get there (), but the staff were so kind about it. They never made me feel uncomfortable or pressured to order while I waited, which I really appreciated. I did end up ordering a couple things so there would be food on the table when she arrived. We got the za'atar fries and the falafel with tahini and pita. Delishhhh For our mains, my friend got the chicken kebab which looked fantastic, and I got the veggie couscous bowl. It was unbelievable. It tasted exactly like the couscous my mom and safta made when I was growing up, even down to the broth being served with it. Eating it honestly made me feel like I was six years old again. This was one of my favorite meals as a kid and I haven't had it like that in so long, so I was so happy to find a place that does it this well. The vegetables were perfect with zucchini, butternut squash, cauliflower, and chickpeas, and I loved the addition of raisins and onions. Everything was also really reasonably priced for what you get. The energy in the restaurant was great and I loved that they have hooks for coats so you're not crammed at the table with jackets and bags. Overall just such a fantastic experience. This is easily my new favorite restaurant in the city and I cannot wait to come back.

My favorite dish was definitely the chicken tagine with the lemon and olive sauce. The chicken was very juicy, and the flavors were unique. I also liked the couscous and the veggies in it, although the chicken was a little on the dry side. The chicken grill was quite juicy too, just a little less flavorful. The greek salad and dips were also solid, but didn't stand out as much as the other dishes.

Sat down thinking I'd do something light and ended up going all in. Ordered their Moroccan eggs with spicy tomato sauce and a side of their famous challah French toast. The eggs came out bubbling hot, perfectly spiced, with that slow-simmered depth that tastes like someone's been making it the same way for years. The bread they serve with it is dangerous... I kept telling myself "last bite" and then immediately going back in. But the French toast was the real moment. Crispy edges, soft inside, not overly eggy, and just the right amount of sweetness. I didn't even use syrup for half of it. Also grabbed a mint tea which felt like the perfect reset in between bites. Service was relaxed but attentive, and the whole place has this warm, slightly chaotic brunch energy that somehow works. Williamsburg has a million brunch spots, but this is one of the few that actually delivers on flavor and not just aesthetics. Definitely coming back... probably too often.
