Tucked off the street, at first glance you might walk past this restaurant. But you would be sorely missing out on the Moroccan delights it has to offer. An a la carte restaurant at a reasonable price. The food is traditional, authentic and flavoursome. Offering a light, airy interior for you to sit back and relax. I went there for... More

Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. Good service. You can find the traditional Marroc foods. Just ask for traditional tastes if you like to get a decision.

Would advise booking ahead as this is a very popular place and well worth planning for. It is a women's co-operative and run very efficiently. The tables are small and a bit cramped but the food perched on top is delicious. Staff could smile a little more but that's the only gripe.

Ask to be seated at the terrace in the evenings when making reservation. Excellent morrocan food with servings big enough to share, at reasonable prices.

Booked with a recommendation from friends who ate here a couple of years ago. You get can impression of a place when you walk in. Met by a very stony faced Maitre d'. This set the scene for the service, some interaction but smiles seemed to be programmed out. So did not make for a comfortable atmosphere. Food did not... More

We decided to have lunch at al fassia on the spur of the moment, so did not have a reservation. We conveyed this fact to the doorman who meets & greets you in the alley leading up to the entrance, he explained that at this time of year it was not necessary to book at lunch time unless you require...

The pigeon bstilla is about as good as it can be, the pastry light, the meat moist, while mechoui, the roast leg of lamb, is an absolute speciality. The decor is regal as well, allowing for a relaxed but elegant meal. The service was very efficient if a little rushed. Unlike a lot of Moroccan restaurants, this one does not... More

Food was exquisite & very reasonably priced but the place seemed to run like a military operation - service felt rushed for the 8pm sitting and second sittings were coming in @ 9.30 pm! It doesn't cost to smile and the ambience was not warm & friendly.
