Very disappointed and cannot recommend this restaurant at all based upon our experience this evening.
We chose it as our special Saturday night evening meal knowing it was fairly expensive for Marrakech but is meant to serve excellent food, but left very disappointed having had much better food at lower end restaurants around Marrakech already.
Whilst the two introductory staters were okay, the first was simply ground vegetables brought from the fridge.
What really disappointed was the chicken with icing sugar course which was very unpleasant, followed by a "lamb tagine" which had no flavour, the carrot and potato were raw and under cooked, and the lamb without any seasoning, herbs or spices in a tagine of oil.
By the time we ordered the dessert our expectations were not high and with merit, as we received apple chunks with brown bits, sandwiched between two filo flakes along a dusting of icing sugar from our chicken starter.
All this cost us 1650dhs / £155 / 182euro for two, including a bottle of wine!
Needless to say we left very unhappy.
On a positive, the service was very good and with left a tip based on that. When the waiter found out we didn't like the dessert he insisted we try the sorbet, which was better, so I have given 5 stars for service, it's not their fault the food is so disappointing.
Obviously this is our opinion, but we travel and eat a lot, have eaten around Marrakech, and left here very unhappy.
On this basis, would not recommend.

Friendly staff with good food, found the lentils a little oily but the dish was flavoursome. The waiter suggested some wine and that was excellent.
Can certainly recommend

Excellent cocktails, excellent service, would certainly visit again if I were ever to visit Brussels again. Some of the best cocktails I've ever had, and the team certainly know how to look after you. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed!
