Dinner here with a group turned out to be a fun and lively experience overall. We were about 10…read morepeople and opted for the **Royal Feast dinner**, which lasted close to two hours and came with a variety of dishes served in a shared, group-style setting. From the moment we arrived, the **host and servers were warm, welcoming, and very polished**. The service felt attentive without being intrusive, and the staff did a nice job keeping the evening moving at a relaxed pace. The Royal Feast included several dishes that were brought out over the course of the evening. We started with **cinnamon pastries**, which were warm and a nice way to begin the meal. The spread also included **couscous, rice, chicken with lemon, Italian-style chicken, lamb, and kebabs**. The portions were generous and worked well for sharing with a large group. One thing to note: **vegetarians don't have many options here**, so if someone in your group has dietary restrictions, it might be a bit limiting. The meal ended with **tea**, which was a pleasant way to wrap up the dinner. Part of the experience here is the **belly dance performance**, but it doesn't start until **after 6:30 pm**. If you're expecting dancing throughout the dinner, you might be disappointed. The performance itself was okay, but the dancer mostly performs in the center area rather than around the tables, so it feels a bit distant. Personally, I've seen more engaging belly dance performances elsewhere. Parking is something to plan ahead for. The restaurant **does not have its own parking lot**, so you'll need to rely on **Seattle street parking, nearby garages, or paid lots**. Like many parts of the city, you may also see a few tents from unhoused residents while walking to the restaurant. If you're familiar with Seattle, this isn't unusual. Overall, the experience was **fun for a group dinner and worth the price**, especially if you're looking for something a bit different with entertainment included. That said, the food and performance were **good but not quite top-tier**. Still, it made for an enjoyable evening with friends.

Highlights for me was that lamb tagine with a huge portion of lamb and the chicken tagine with lemon and olives. The flavors were really fresh and pleasant, though a pinch of salt could take them to the next level. There were very unique elements of Moroccan culture here, with the basin hand washing and giant metal vase of bread. We unfortunately didn't catch the belly dancer this time but has a really nice family meal here. The waiters were so friendly and quippy. Really enjoyed this unique experience.

Our search found us at Juba, which is East African cuisine (Somalian, but not Tanzanian) food. Recos: 1) Hilib Ari (Goat with rice): Cooked with onions. It is a dry dish, wth falling of the bone tender meat. It is flavorful, not heavily spiced and not hot (for me). The intrinsic flavor of the meat is what I love. The accompanying rice is nice. Still 5/5 2) Lamb Shank: Very large portion. Delicious.I found it less flavorful than the goat. 4/5 3) Chicken Suqaar: Nice dish but not something I'll order again 2/5 We have gone back three times. The people who serve are quite, nice and generous to help with advice. It is a clean place. Lot of the customers are getting lunch between work.

The goat was flavorful and tender, and came on a mountain of perfectly cooked and seasoned rice. They also provided hot sauce and a lemon wedge. Others in my party got the chicken suqaar plates, and enjoyed their meals too. We all were obsessed with the bisbaas/basbaas (green hot sauce) that came with our meal, and I really liked the dynamic flavors in the food. Pricing is a little high, but the amount of food you get is generous. I'd definitely come back again and will plan to take leftovers home or share an entree.

At my table we got the lemon chicken, tzatziki burger, shrimp tacos, and Mediterranean nachos. We also tried the strawberry kiss drink We did end up sending the strawberry kiss back. The menu and the waitress said it was made of strawberry syrup, white grape juice, and coconut milk but that was not the flavor profile we experienced. It almost tasted like there was Tabasco or something else thick and salty in there. We all thought our dishes were pretty good, but weren't overly impressed. Not bad but just not 5 stars. Definitely edible. It could've just been the dishes we chose as other reviews rave about this place! Our favorite part of this meal was definitely the Mediterranean nachos! 5/5 for sure! The chips were yummy, and the meat was packed full of flavor and juicy! I would recommend this place purely for the nachos. Overall I'd say this is a great hangout spot to get a drink and appetizers with a group! Again, we did not try the most popular food items so we definitely could've missed out on the dishes people were loving, but the nachos alone tell me they probably do have more 5/5 food

Soft footing, spacious clean stalls, and a location on a very quiet street equal healthy horses and happy riders. Dressage Dancers has two trainers, both of whom have a few openings in their riding instruction calendars. In addition, Carol will be teaching two separate weeks of intensive riding camps for children this summer. Past camps included two daily individual riding lessons, horse-related crafts, baking, and other fun camp activities (including playing in the hose on really hot days!) I've helped Carol with students and horses at dressage shows and here in the arenas, and have also taken riding lessons here. You will learn the right way to here and you will always be encouraged to do your best and to enjoy your time with the horses.
