It was my first time trying Moroccan food, and it was a really great experience. The food was delicious, and the service was extremely, extremely good. I highly recommend everyone to visit this place

I booked two tickets for a belly dance event and arrived on time, only to find out the performance had been canceled with no prior notice. No one informed us—we had to ask ourselves after waiting more than 20 minutes past the scheduled show time. Had we known in advance, I would not have ordered food. I also mentioned to the staff that this should have been communicated before we ordered the food or when they got to know the dance was cancelled as the order was to support the business and the belly dance event. The food was way overpriced and bland. They offered an extra mint tea, but both were cold and flavorless. While the staff was polite, gratuity was added to the bill without our consent or any disclosure. The least they could have done was inform us, especially since we were there s

There is no where like this place!! One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The ambience is amazing! The entire place is stunning visually, especially the seating. Nadir, the owner, is hospitable and funny. The food was amazing (best falafel ever!!) We had the best time and will definitely go again if we have the chance. Can’t recommend enough!!

Loved the food, hostess/server, and the belly dancer! So talented and engaging! Great place to go to celebrate anything or nothing at all 😊

★★★★★ 5.0 Dema Dalia · Dec 2024

This weekend, we had the absolute pleasure of dining at El Morocco for their weekend brunch, and I can confidently say it was the best brunch I’ve ever had. The service was flawless, the food was pure perfection, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I’m notoriously picky, especially with egg dishes, but every bite was bursting with flavor and flawlessly prepared. They excel in everything from sweet to savory, with a menu so thoughtfully crafted it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. I tried both their coffees, which were rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed, and they were absolutely fantastic. The place itself is gorgeous. It is beautifully decorated with stunning Middle Eastern carpets, lanterns, and cozy seating, making it a very charming and comfortable setting to sit and enjoy a meal.
