“ Coming from a Moroccan, this place is incredible! The food is very close to being 100% authentic. It was fresh, and full of flavor. All the right spices. The Mint Tea was also deliciously sweet. The staff was friendly, and it is very beautiful inside with all the Moroccan decor. I felt like I was in Morocco again! Definitely recommend if you want to try Moroccan food or miss Moroccan food. ”
“ Incredible experience. Food is delicious and the owner and wife super charming. We will definitely return ”
“ Unexpectedly phenomenal. For anyone who likes sweet savory foods, the lamb bastella is one of the most delicious things I've eaten. It's pastry generously stuffed with lamb, almonds, and raisins. My wife is vegetarian and had the veggie couscous - a heart bowl of vegetables, very comforting. The mint tea at the end is great. A starter and two mains were way too much to finish. We took half of it home. The ladies running the place were lovely. We went early so we could take our time with our newborn and feed him there. They were super accommodating and kind. We will gladly go back. ”
“ Without a doubt, a first class experience. Not only was our food superb, but contrary to the disappointment expressed by some reviewers, the service received was exemplary. The lamb in our lamb tajine was so tender the meat was falling off the bone and our bastello (a lovely pastry) was divine and a perfect compliment to the tajine. Even though the place was packed our sever, Malik, returned to our table numerous times to check on us and make sure everything was alright. He was also patient and kind, taking time to explain our dishes and to explain some of the differences in Moroccan and Algerian food. When in Mexico City we’ll be back. ”
“ Wow wow wow. This was a last-minute sudden stumble upon choice and WOW. I can’t rave about the food enough. The bastella lamb is their most recommended item, but I got minced meat—and it slapped. Staff, location, interior all are an A.If you’re in CDMX, you have to eat here ”
