First time visiting and instantly a top dining experience for me! I was by myself and arrived right at opening. Greeted by the friendliest man who may have been the owner. Warm welcome from all staff. Quickly seated and food arrived much faster than expected. Everything was absolutely delicious! The vibes and atmosphere just incredible. They do serve alcohol there which at first didn’t seem the case. Moroccan wines, mixed drinks and a small beer menu. An absolute must visit, I will be back.

Marrakesh was a delightful surprise. The restaurant has an authentic, cozy, and intimate feel, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The menu is set—you’re only asked about allergies, whether you prefer mild or spicy, and whether you want lamb or beef. As soon as you’re seated, they bring water and rose-water mix and towel for washing your hands, which sets the tone for a lovely, traditional experience. From there, the food arrives course by course, from appetizers all the way to dessert (baklava, black tea, and fresh fruit ). Portions are generous—we were so full that we had to take our last dish home. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. My favorite was the chicken: very tender and not overcooked at all. We chose mild and lamb this time, but I’m definitely curio

Marrakesh is an authentic family style Moroccan experience! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is intimate. We've eaten here with multiple groups of friends and family and everyone has enjoyed the food and ambiance. Your experience starts when you sit down, you wash your hand with warm rose water and are given a towel to serve as your napkin. The tables are intimate family style, you'll be sharing plates! The menu is 7 courses with some variablity, portions sized to your party. 1. Salad (cooked carrots, cooked eggplant, cucumber salad) 2. Pastilla (savory meat pie with chicken, egg, and almond filling), topped with sugar and cinnamon 3. Slow roasted chicken (you can choose between spicy or mild, I highly recommend the spicy chicken it's more flavourful and not too spicy) 4.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ariana Lucidonio · Nov 2025

Marrakesh is quite a unique experience - a must try at least one time! My friends and I came to celebrate a birthday. It was tight quarters, so we were sitting back to back with the group next to us. Expect to be a little cramped, it’s just part of the experience. They rinse your hands with warm water and then throw towels on your lap. Then immediately start the 7-course dinner ($40pp). I won’t go into every detail, but the standouts were the spicy chicken (truly the best chicken I’ve ever had), beef skewers and the egg dish. The lamb we were not a fan of and couscous dish was bland. The baklava my friends enjoyed, I found it a bit too sweet personally. There was a belly dancing performance which was great entertainment. The staff were all SO friendly and welcoming. We truly felt like w

Our party of four had an unforgettable experience at Marrakesh! From the moment we arrived, the evening felt special, you actually knock on the door to be welcomed inside, which immediately sets the tone for something unique. The décor is stunning, with an authentic and stylish design that transports you straight to Morocco. The meal itself was a journey. They serve a series of dishes from appetizers all the way to dessert, and you can choose between lamb, beef, or vegetarian options; everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is made even more vibrant with Arabic music playing in the background, and we were lucky to enjoy a talented belly dancer who brought so much energy and fun to the room. To top it all off, the owner personally came around to greet every tabl
