Marrakech Restaurant

What an absolute delight this place was for us! From the authentic food, impeccable service we were blown away. Absolutely felt as if we’d taken a trip to Morocco for the evening. It’s a spectacle in itself to order the mint tea and watch it being poured! The rose water offering at the end of the evening was divine. What a treasure, lucky to have experienced this in Adelaide.

Ambience - Dark blue walls with starry ceiling lights dancing away their light show to the opening & closing of door. Too crowded but can’t blame them - their food is awesome. Not a good place for someone who is claustrophobic. Not sure if it meets safety standards as people were seated even next to the entrance of the connected section. High chances of people bumping into each other. Food - Super Flavorful! We had: - Melwi (Fantastic to have on a cold evening. Would describe it as a Morroccan Pizza) - Veg Balls (Super tasty) - Lamb (Super tender) - Beef Meatballs (Lahrech Tagine) - Saffron rice - Couscous - Khobz (Crusty yet soft) - Pannacotta - Mint tea Wait time - Not much for Entree. For mains, is long as it is slow cooked. Best to place order for Entree & Mains in one go. The flavors that come from the food is worth the wait. Service - Our server was an amazing man who was friendly, detailed with his information & prevented us from over ordering. He made sure we were happy with everything from food to service! As a traditional custom- he even drizzled rose water on our hands, the smell lingered on. Their mint tea is a digestive drink fan fare & definitely worth trying out!! A must restaurant to visit.

Look no further for the best Moroccan food you can consume in Adelaide! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the things we ordered for dinner, especially the vegetarian chickpea tagine! Service is phenomenal from the moment you walk in til you walk out. Very reasonably priced as well. We ordered five dishes for less than $100 🙂 (which we even had some left overs to take home).

Not going to deny that the food was delicious, all dishes were cooked to perfection and full of flavour. However, the service was the total opposite. It was unbelievably terrible. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left. We were seated and after waiting 5mins for the menu, I had to ask for it. We were only 2 people. Ordering also took very long. We ordered an entrè, the dip platter, Couscous and a tagine dish. The dip platter came half an hour after ordering which was a ridiculous amount of time as it wasn't even a main. It shouldn't take that long as it's only dips and a small fried entrè. When we finished the 2 dishes our waiter took the empty plates and we sat there waiting for our main. A group of 6 people came and were seated. The same waiter took their order right away and within 15mins of ordering they received their entrè which also included the dip platter. That wasn't a problem. My partner fell asleep against the wall waiting for our main. During that time the waiter begun bringing out main dishes which included around 4 tagine dishes as well to that same table and I was shocked as they had came in half an hour after us. I woke up my partner to let him know and he had the same shocked reaction as me. I called the waiter over and asked her why we haven't received our main dish yet and that table had came after us and received all their dishes. Her reply was "I'm giving you guys a break between appetiser and main", seriously 🤦‍♀️. You had taken our appetisers half an hour ago and your giving us a break. I begun to laugh because what type of excuse is that? Why didn't you also give the other table a half an hour break between their appetiser and mains? The waiter which I'm guessing is Indian/South Asian was rude when I questioned her that and when she brought our main out she slammed it on the table. No apology no nothing. Also another table came in after us and right away she brought the menu for them. Such horrible service. All up, two appetiser and a main almost took almost 2 hours to eat. We came in at 7:20 and left 9:10. Although the food is great, we won't be back due to lack of service.

Fantastic restaurant - amazing food and service. The manager is full of energy and is lots of fun. He is passionate about the food. I loved watching the mint tea being poured from high up into a small cup and hearing how the food is prepared. It is a great experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
