Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Delicious! The food is incredible. There’s something slightly special about this place. There’s a female aura that exudes something extra. X

Service is excellent but food is perhaps not so interesting…I know that sounds unfair for a restaurant serving traditional food, but lamb shoulder and Moroccan salads are pretty common. If you like to cook, you know you can put a lamb shoulder in the over...for 7 hours and get the same results. That said I also had the seafood pastilla and it was excellent. All the staff were delightful. If you’re staying in the media I’m not convinced it’s worth the travel though. Bit harsh?More

Incredibly friendly restaurant refreshing orientated to both tourists and locals. A wide ranging menu and drinks of a high quality. Fish balls a huge hit and the beef tagine. Would definitely recommend.

We got the platter of salads, our favourites were the aubergine dip and the tomato. The carrot does taste very good. We also got the lamb shoulder. It is cooked well (very tender) but the flavours are lacking and a bit one-note. A bit boring...after a couple of bites. Maybe our expectations were too high after seeing this place on TV. I've written a few reviews of other places I ate in Marrakech and honestly most of them I would prefer to here. The cost to experience ratio just not there for me. Ate at places which cost around a quarter of this place and tasted better. Would be happy to pay this price if the food was nicer. The environment is nice and the service is friendly. They will walk you to a cab when you are done. Always ask for the price first, ours tried to charge us more than double what was reasonable.More

The best restaurant in Marrakesh if you want to taste REAL and delicious Moroccan food, hear traditional music, meet the amazing women-only team of chefs and waitresses and all in a stunning place. A beautiful experience, great price, lovely people and incredible food.

I was recommended by my son who is a chef to this all female restaurant. I certainly was not disappointed. The ladies all gave a fantastic service. All I can say about the chef is WOW what fantastic food. After a very exhausting day with...my guide in Marrakesh this was the perfect way to relax and enjoy a first class meal.More

Visited purely because we’d seen it on the BBC with Andi Oliver. Warm welcome. The tapas style starter dishes were simply astounding, so much flavour, and that marinated carrot is simply incredible. Felt that the mains didn’t quite live up to what I’d expected. Tagine...was quite ‘basic’. Service was good but we were on quite possibly the darkest table in the garden and needed a torch to dissect the meat from the bones. It’s average I think, nice but average.More

Fantastic food and ridiculously cheap for the quality. Mixed salad starter, chicken with caremalised orange, and ice cream to finish for a little over £25. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

We booked for dinner well in advance to ensure a reservation, even confirming as required by the restaurant once we had arrived in Marrakesh. The reservation was booked for the penultimate evening before the restaurant closed for a summer break. We requested the lamb dish...so applauded by the chef and critique Andi Oliver from a tv show here in the UK. I had notified that I do not eat meat when booking due to health issues and was happy to have anything meat free however but my husband understood the lamb dish is for 2 people but was ok to have it. When we arrived however, the menu was very limited, I would argue only half of it was available and no fish dishes were available and very limited vegetarian options. The Moroccan mixed small starter dishes were however excellent. I was persuaded by the friendly lady serving us for my main course to have the fish / spinach spring rolls as that was the only vaguely fish option despite it being a starter. This dish was very disappointing and I thought over cooked . I had to request a salad to go with it as it came with nothing except a dipping sauce. To be honest I left the restaurant still a bit hungry as a result! Such a shame as had had such high hopes from what had been such great reviews. My husband did enjoy his lamb dish.More

Wonderful restaurant. Really elegant and stylish but personal atmosphere. Samira and her bright helpful team were really attentive despite it being a busy full night, and took real trouble to make me feel looked after. The salad taster ‘menu’ starter was a great idea for...being to try all sorts of local salads, and full of flavour. Tagline lamb fell nicely off the bone. And very tasty almond feuilleté dessert. I’d highly recommend and for a warm, friendly and classy taste of Morocco. (And don’t do what I did and confused my Moroccan 5 and 10 coins - I’ve just realised I tried to too but only tipped half what I meant. Silly me after such a lovely evening.) Thanks Samira and Al Fassia staff for such a highlight of my trip.More
