    Cold like very cold at the table. Had to go to the bar to get some drinks. Entertainment was 10 but service was bad. Place was packed so don’t think it could be helped

    The service is slow. Food is average at best. Food and drinks are surcharged plus they tack on entertainment fees. I wouldn’t mind paying if the quality and service met the price, but overall the all-around quality was low.

    I’ve been to this restaurant several times and have always had a great experience, which is the only reason I’m not giving a lower rating. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different due to the poor service from our server. She disappeared for long stretches of time, never checked in on us, and at one point was gone for at least 30 minutes—so long that I had to ask the host to track her down so we could pay our bill. Even then, multiple staff members struggled to locate her, and it took another 10-15 minutes before she finally reappeared. This was by far the worst service I’ve experienced, and it was incredibly disappointing. I hope this was an isolated incident, but I’d love to see improvements in service moving forward.

    This place is nothing near to what it used to be. Nothing authentic about this place other than food and decor.. the entertainment has gone way off the rails. More like an adult chuckie cheese than a middle eastern restaurant with middle eastern entertainment.

    I loved to have a Mediterranean experience. I enjoyed the dancing. Cocktails a little pricey. I will recommend it .

    Would definitely come again. Some prices are a little steep for drinks and appetizers and platters for the amount and quality that you get (we ordered all), but considering all the free entertainment, the overall cost was wonderfully affordable. The food was tasty and enjoyable, but not high end at all. I'm actually shocked there was y a separate ticket cost because the variety show was amazing. Very interactive with the audience and my family had an amazing time. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves greatly. The rooms are beautiful and I love the authentic Moroccan furniture and decor. Alot of art and tons to look at. The set up was very interesting. Every corner looked intimate, unique, and vintage.

    The experience was great. We enjoyed the food and the variety show. It was our first time at a place like this and we could have used a little guidance from the server but she was slammed and not super available. I'd definitely go back though!

    By far the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food was terrible, and we had to switch tables because the first room they sat us in was so cold I could see my breath. Not a joke.
