My favorite place. They have good entertainment and really good food.
They have two Belly dancing shows. Come and enjoy dinner with dancing music. -

My boyfriend and I wanted a quick snack and hookah! Figured this would be the right spot for that. We walked in and it was pretty much empty (around 3-4 pm) and we're like cool we're gonna get amazing service .... nope!
We get seated where they serve hookah (were the only ones in this section) no one comes to us for 30 mins and we finally order a plate of hummus with their bread - which was really good!
The time it took to get a plate of hummus and our hookah was another 30 mins. It was really annoying trying to get anyone's attention here. The place looked super worn down they need a renovation... of the place itself & their employees!
I want to mention that their hookah was terrible - not because it was tobacco free - I have had really good tobacco free hookah before - but it just sucked. Sorry never coming back here again. -

Despite some negative reviews place is pretty decent.hummus and bread a def must. Couscous was good but not best I've had, although lamb was really tender.
I would def recommend this place. -

Frankly speaking, the food of this restaurant is not anything special. Our team came here for a team building event after our recent sales kickoff. The food they serve is Moroccan per the name of the restaurant, but I remember feeling that the food is actually quite bland. The seating and ambiance are special reflecting a Moroccan restaurant, but the seating is also slightly uncomfortable in that you would have to slouch to eat off the short tabletop. One thing that salvages this restaurant and make this restaurant worth visiting is the special belly dancer show during your meal. You can actually participate in the belly dancing as well (pro tip: remember to bring some $ bills to tip the dancer). While the fun part makes it interesting once, I probably would not return for the food.

I was here recently and have to say the experience was pretty terrible...
I was looking forward to a great evening, but the service was really bad. The food was good and the dance performance was entertaining, but it was hard to ignore the bad service.
We were greeted upon entering and promptly seated. My guest and I opted for the multi-course evening dinner. Throughout the evening the servers had a fairly aloof attitude and didn't really seem to show any care when it came to service. Rather than clearing space for additional food as it arrived, they would just leave empty plates and bowls on the table. We were never asked if we were enjoying the food/experience. When they did clear the plates at the end of the evening, it was sloppy experience, with one the servers dropping utensils on the tables and floor, but with no apology...it just really seemed like they didn't care.
The food ranged from average to very good. The appetizers were okay, but not necessarily memorable. We ordered two entrees and they were enjoyable: the Chicken Tagine and Chicken with Almonds and Honey. The chicken dishes arrived very tender and both dishes were spiced/seasoned very well. Since there was a lot of food I asked for some boxes to take home...several boxes were sloppily put together with sauce already dripping inside the bag - I ended up giving the food away to someone hungry just outside of the restaurant.
I think I was really surprised since I rarely have terrible service in San Francisco, but this was the worst I'd had in a while. Restaurant managers should really take the time to teach staff how to be warm and hospitable since customers are looking for a unique experience, especially in a place like this where it includes a show. Also, most people attending the dinner were dressed-up...it's a little odd to be at dinner where everyone is dressed well, but the staff are in t-shirts and sneakers.
