Top Moroccan restaurants in Ottawa, Canada

It was my first time trying Moroccan food. I highly recommend this restaurant! The food, service and ambience were amazing!

Located in the heart of Ottawa’s Byward market, and HIGHLY recommend! I’ve been coming here since I was in University for their chicken Pastilla (10+yrs ago). Love their lamb shank with rice and couscous for lunch too. Pick up is quick and easy. It gets pretty busy at lunch time but the owner is super nice! Love the hot sauce on the side.
I’ve sat down and had their mixed plate and it’s a great shareable option. It says it’s for 2…. But could easily be shared with 3!

Excellent and friendly service ! Food was delicious and non pretentious. Prices reasonable. Highly recommended place to stop by if you are on the Byward market.

We ordered the Royal meal for two.
The place is in the historical byward market. The Morricone food is very tasty.
The royal meal is mixed plate which has all the meat!!

The food was excellent .
The people are so nice and kind.
The couscous and lamb is a must try.

And Rim speaks French .

Amazing food and the friendliest service! Definitely try the pastilla (chicken honey filo) don't get turnoff, it's a heavenly mashup of savory and sweet. The lamb leg is amazing too.

Heard some great things about this bistro located smack in the middle of Byward market. Once in, expect the proper middle eastern welcome and hospitality. Everyone smiles while making eye contact and the place is very well docarated. In the natural setting of this place, you will get an instance where you'd think you are in a Moroccan 'bazar'.

Food is magnifique. We tried almost everything on the menu and it tasted so good! From the plater we had chicken, lamb, kefta and merguez (Moroccan Sausage). The salmon tasted great as well. Everything comes with either rice or couscous. Topped with some vegetables and chickpeas and binding all those together with some seriously good sauce. We ended our culnary journey with some baklava and other Moroccan sweets. We also had some authentic tea poured by the Captian himself!

Always love visiting this part of Canada. Now we have a reason to keep coming back.

We came here because another restaurant in the area we wanted to visit had a wait time of 1 hour and 30 minutes (!!!). I selected this restaurant on a whim through Google Maps. I'm glad I did. The food here is great. My 5 year old daughter loved eating everything we gave her. We ordered a Royal Plate. The service was excellent as well.
