Family dinner -- first time here. The ambience is wonderful. The dishes we ordered were quite flavourful. We had a couple starter plates. We would definitely come here again. The restaurant was full. Everyone was having a great time. I almost forgot to mention that our service was exceptional. Thank you to the lovely Anastasia 🥰

Food was delicious and fresh. Lots of new flavours i had not had before. There are belly dancers that come by every so often and do a few songs. The ambiance is dark and unique. The service needs to be tweaked in my opinion. My food was delivered to the wrong table and so it took forever. The actual servers are very kind and accommodating. Recommended!

Truly authentic tasting food. I’m sure the chef is from the Maghreb. The servers are very pleasant and attentive. Decor and music take you to a place far away from Vancouver!
It’s very hard for restaurant owners to maintain a high level of service and quality these days but this team is making it happen. Keep up the great work!

Really cool spot. The food was soooo flavourful. So much to try, not enough space! The ambiance was really cool with lots of upholstery. That said, I think the upholstery contributed to the overall warmth and stuffiness of the space. The air circulation wasn’t that great, especially on a hot and humid summer day. Some other cons: the washrooms are in a hallway outside of the restaurant. Not sure who is responsible for maintaining them, but they weren’t in good working order. The toilet didn’t flush, there was no paper towel, and it was just generally dirty. Many of the staff were super friendly and accommodating. One treated us like we were dumb, tolerating the group and just barely meeting basic service levels. Other than that, it’s good here. I’m looking forward to trying it on a cold winter’s night.

Blown away by how amazing the service, food, and atmosphere was! Our servers Anna and the young Japanese man (name started with a Y) were both phenomenal. They made sure we had everything we needed and were so friendly. They moved us to nicer table without us even asking and even gave us two desserts on the house. They made my birthday night truly special. 10/10 experience, highly recommend! Will definitely be back for more.
