About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
The atmosphere is Moroccan chic, the cocktails are smashing, and the small plates — like a perfect meze platter, a gorgeous moutabal du jardin salad, a cigarlike spin on chicken bastila, wonderful kefta kebab and more — are not just beautifully prepared, but well-priced, to boot. As grazing ops go, it doesn’t get much better than this alluring spot where Lebanon meets Morocco in West Village.

    The food was delicious! I ordered the apricot lamb, and my husband had the chicken cava. Both dishes were excellent. The service was outstanding as well. We had a wonderful dining experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant!

    This place makes you feel like you are transported to an entirely different country. The food was excellent, the service exceptional. I'm from LA and this has been the best place I've eaten at my whole visit. Chef's hummus was incredible, cannot say enough great things about this place. Also the neighborhood was cute. Definitely a great restaurant, don't miss if you go to Dallas.

    Nice restaurant in Uptown off McKinney and Lemon. Food was good and staff was nice. Wanted just a few more fish or steak options on the menu but solid all around.

    I’ve had the pleasure of dining here a number of times and have always been impressed with the food and service. I love coming on a Friday or Saturday and hearing live music. The chicken Shawarma or chicken shish kebab are my go to’s and the ice cream baklava dessert is hands-down one of my absolute favorites and a must try for all.  there is parking on the street or in a structure nearby and seating can be accommodated on the patio or inside.  This is a great date spot or for dinner with friends
