We had late lunch / early dinner on a Saturday in this quaint dining space. Our server took time to answer questions and make recommendations. The chicken pastilla cigars are a delicious appetizer. The Moroccan chicken tangine entree is prepared wonderfully, a delicate balance of flavor. The hot Moroccan mint tea is a lovely compliment. We look forward to more fantastic meals in this unassuming gem.

The owner Karim is very nice, welcoming, professional and originally Moroccan so cooks delicious authentic Moroccan food. I loved the Lamb Couscous, worth the drive! The Moroccan tea and cookies were amazing and everything was fresh and yummy! The menu available in the QR code and is very detailed with pictures and descriptions. Little hidden gem for Chicagoans!
