Love. Love. Love the decor.
The food – not so much. The drinks were prepared well. I wanted to like this place more but the food fell flat and the audio when people were singing was not balanced. The music in between sets was great. It’s obviously louder the closer you are to the music… there is also a room up and back to the left if you want a quieter setting. Loved the gnawa and belly dancers were entertaining. We went on a Sunday around 830p.
The atmosphere is fantastic. I would say this is a great place to get a drink or dessert and stay out…enjoy the shows. They have a full bar menu and mocktails. I dont know that I recommend the food based on my experience. A lot of people were ordering tagine. I was curious on how they prepared their rfissa. As someone who loves rfissa – I found it to be lacking. The salmon on on the pizza also was a little off. Everyone working that we encountered was friendly… there were some miscommunications at the end.
Overall its a good experience. The gnawa was probably my favorite part. The belly dancers got everyone going at the end of the night.
Give it a try – it might have been an off night.

Fun vibey night out at this restaurant/bar/ music venue in New town, Marrakech. The entertainment and service is great. The starters were really delicious and the main was good (there is a set menu with a minimum spend). Well worth a visit
