Marrakech — high-caliber mexican in West Town. Order the baklava. Not your typical menu, in a good way. Owner-operated, BYOB. "The seafood pastilla appetizer was a rich medley of fresh seafood wrapped in perfectly crispy phyllo pastry" — Tianni Wang

“Dined here on a Friday evening, we were immediately seated.”
Dined here on a Friday evening, we were immediately seated. Our server Adam was quick to answer any questions we had, and offered recommendations. We got the mint tea kettle, chicken pastilla, lamb couscous, and combo meat platter. Everything was delicious and beautifully flavored. The chicken pastilla was our favorite, such a unique combination of flavors that work perfectly together. Adam was attentive the entire time and you can tell he genuinely cares. This is a great family owned gem in the neighborhood, cannot recommend enough. We will be back!

“Tried a lot of Moroccan dishes including Chicken Pastilla, Marrakech Harira, lamb couscous, lamb...”
Tried a lot of Moroccan dishes including Chicken Pastilla, Marrakech Harira, lamb couscous, lamb chops and Tea kettle Moroccan mint tea. I liked the chicken Pastilla, Harira and rice of the couscous the most. The tea was refreshing. The Harira is like dal/lentils of indian dishes. The interior is pretty good too. However, the items were overpriced in my opinion. In short, a very good place to try authentic Moroccan dishes. Their cuisine is a little bit less spicy and sweeter. If you prefer more spicy foods then you may not like it. The staff was very friendly and his behavior was very decent.

Try the cous cous! And the mint tea. Generous portions, authentic food and atmosphere. Adam took great care of our group of 16.

This is a great place, fairly priced and the portions are large and tasty. Will definitely eat here again. My wife and I shared the Lamb couscous (very yummy), ask for the garlic and hot sauce. ❤️

“Delicious, a must try in west town.”
Delicious, a must try in west town. Would def be coming back. Def a bit pricey but it’s also a big quantity of food. My dish could easily feed two people. (My dish is the chicken couscous)

I lived in Morocco years ago and this authentic dinner from a Moroccan chef absolutely took me back. Delicious food — we got the Marrakech tajine with chicken and the safa couscous. Amazing service. Highly recommend supporting this family-owned business!

“First time trying Moroccan.”
First time trying Moroccan! My group had a great experience. Yummy appetizers with pita bread and loved the chicken pastilla and harira soup (both surprisingly sweet/savory!) Excellent and attentive service.

“The service was very nice and accommodating.”
The service was very nice and accommodating. Going to Morocco in a few weeks so had a nice long chat with Mohammad, the owner. Everything is fresh and flavorful. The mint tea is a must! I got a lamb shank tagine with fries.

“The service is top tier.”
The service is top tier. I feel like I’m in someone’s home. I’ve been twice and ordered the same thing: fed tagine and Moroccan mint tea. I do not intend to change that. 🤭 there is also a $5 BYOB fee.
