My NguyenMay 30, 2017All of the food is phenomenal. Aromatic, tangy, earthy, rich in flavor. The whole experience from washing in rose water to the tapestries hanging on the walls was something I would gladly do again.Upvote6DownvoteUpvoted Dec 27, 2024- Bobby G.January 11, 2013Marrakesh is Marramarvelous!

Also BYO so get ready for a good time.Upvote2Downvote- Daphne PapapolyzouFebruary 23, 2015Amazing experience from the moment they wash your hands to the moment you use them to eat the food that is dripping on your bath towels on your knees while a belly dancer makes you get up and danceUpvoteDownvote
- Maria KolakowskaApril 25, 2016Delicious! Come with a healthy appetite because there are seven courses. Vegetarian options were all delicious, especially the lentil dish!UpvoteDownvote
Lane RettigJuly 12, 2013Had two incredible meals here. They happily accommodated a vegetarian meal, which was spectacular. It's BYO, they provide glasses and ice and everything. Amazing service.Upvote1Downvote

christinaJuly 17, 2010Absolutely delicious seven course (yes, seven) moroccan meal. The lamb and egg pastry are especially to die for but everything is amazing. Expect to be in a happy food coma afterwards!UpvoteDownvote- Elizabeth MartiAugust 29, 2010Best time!! Went with 10 girls on a bachalorette party and had a blast!!! Yes it took about 3 hrs but we allowed it to take that long!! Eggplant salad was to die for and best of all...byob!!!Upvote1Downvote
Cora AngJune 22, 2011Secret hideout away from the buzz of South Street. Lots of couples so go as a pair, or as a huge group. Awkward for mid-sized groups.UpvoteDownvote
Amy GraceOctober 6, 2013Awesome food!!!!!!! CASH ONLY and the option of BYOB! Highly recommend!UpvoteDownvote
Visit PhillyDecember 14, 2011For 35 years, the only option has been a seven-course Moroccan menu (for a reasonable $25). On weekends, look for belly dancers.UpvoteDownvote
- Visit PhillyFebruary 4, 2011This Moroccan den is unmarked and indiscernible from the outside. In-the-know diners knock at 517 S. Leithgow Street to gain entry to the restaurant. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
- Vincent PonsMay 20, 2018We didn't get to experience as we had a reservation but were never seated.UpvoteDownvote
JD WhittingtonApril 17, 2012Come with a group, reserve a room upstairs, bring too much wine, get weirdUpvote1Downvote
- Sidharth KakkarMarch 14, 2010The beef was overcooked, the lamb was bland, and the chicken was dry. And the service was as slow as possible. The meal took FOUR HOURS. Don't go here, worst idea ever.UpvoteDownvote

"Went here a couple of weekends ago! Gotta say overall I love this store but they need to think about expanding and making the store bigger! It tends to get way to crowded in there!!!!"
