An extremely long wait despite having a reservation. No attempt at compensation whatsoever… The bread arrived in a plastic bag… We will not be returning

Almost an hour's wait even with a reservation, the evening's off to a great start (sarcasm). To be fair, the previous customers arrived late… Damn customer! Bitter waiter who takes everything the wrong way, what a shame. The mezze are exce...

Do not eat here! Ordered a chicken Tagine which had zero flavour and tasted like it was cooked 3 days ago. The bread is old and stale. Cannot call yourself a Moroccan/Lebanese restaurant is you don’t make your own fresh bread. Look at the b...

While not bad, the food lacked flavor. I prioritize quality over quantity, but I had to ask for extra couscous... and we were still hungry after dessert. The service wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't warm either. Ultimately, a real disappoi...
Service and Pricing Frustrations
A few reviewers mention heavy-handed upselling, pushy service, or feeling rushed out near closing time.

We arrived at the restaurant at 10:40 PM and were admitted to eat. We were surprised to see that as soon as the food was served, everyone was eager for us to leave so they could close. Perhaps they should have informed the customers that th...

We had a very good meal; we ordered four lamb tagines with oriental desserts. Unfortunately, our waiter wasn't very friendly and was quite pushy about making choices at every stage of the meal. Our starter was completely forgotten, as were...

On a charming little street in Paris, we stopped in front of this restaurant that offers Lebanese and Moroccan specialties. The owner kindly offered us her table. We were served very quickly: chicken tagine with olives, couscous, and shawarma, all excellent. The servers were also very welcoming. I h...
