“We got the Middle Eastern Platter, and the babaganoush was amazing, less eggplanty than other places, but still really good.”

One of the best hookah places and their Mediterranean dishes are very flavorful, with just the right amount of seasoning. I love their yellow rice and kebab dishes!
When you first enter, you will be surprised at the small size and limited seating capacity. Plus, it seemed a bit stuffy and did not have enough ventilation (I am not sure if they have an AC either, maybe just fans). Anyway, we were able to get a seat since we arrived late on a week night (without a reservation).
Any of their hookahs are great and have a strong effect. Plus, the service here was super friendly and attentive. They even let us switch to a more comfortable and slightly larger table after customers were finished with their meal and left.
As I looked around, I realized this is also a popular place to just hang out with friends for drinks and hookah. However, I suggest you try their kebab dishes with yellow rice. Their dessert menu was kind of limited but we had a brownie, which was a bit dry/below average and powdered with sugar.
I love Moroccan food and wanted to try this place. The place is small but it has a lot of character, the service was really good.
I started with the feta cheese and spinach triangles which were really good. Then I order the chicken and shrimp paella and my dinner companion had the chicken pastilla. The paella was good but nothing to rave about however the pastilla was delicious.
I had pastilla in Morocco last year and let me tell you this tasted just like the one there.
I also had a grapefruiti margarita which was very tasty.
I can't wait to come back and for sure order the chicken pastilla.
I've been to this place 3 times and always with a Groupon, their menu is too expensive $16 for 6 small pieces of lamb, small serving of rice and a couple of table spoons of eggplant? The food is ok, and a couple of things are good, like the goat cheese salad, but they would have much better business if they either lower the prices or increase the portions.
Pretty empty on a Tuesday night but it made the setting more intimate. The waitress was super sweet and she handled everything well. The drinks were really good. The hookah was pretty good too. Didn't run out as fast as I thought. Used a groupon with them and ended up paying less than $20 which is better than paying full price.
Good place to go with less than 4 people.
The atmosphere here was amazing. Moroccan music, dim lights, and beautiful wall paintings really whisked us away to Casablanca.
For appetizers, we ordered the eggplant curry and goat-cheese salad. The curry was good, but the salad was much better.
We each ordered the minced lamb and beef for our entrees, and only wished the portions were bigger.
Dessert was bread pudding, which was decent.
Came here to try out some Moroccan food. The Moroccan tea was very good – very minty. It reminded me of the Afghani tea I had tried earlier this year.
For the entrees, I chose the Chicken Pastilla and Vegetarian Tajine. The Chicken Pastilla is similar to a filo pastry, like burek. I liked it a lot. It has a crispy, flaky exterior and was filled with savory saffron chicken.
The Vegetarian Tajine however was just so-so for my tastes. I had wanted to get the Beef Tajine but they said it was not available. The tajine tasted like a basic vegetable stew to me. It has a strong olive taste (olive oil and whole olives).
This seemed like a nice place to try authentic Moroccan food. The portion size of the food is slightly small though and the food didn't wow me.
Such a cozy little hang in El Barrio!
Last week, I spent a great deal of time hobnobbing through 100+ blocks of Harlem, and I'm bound to return for more adventures soon. But one familiar face I'll certainly return to is this here Kiosk.
Being quite the fanatic of Mediterranean cuisine, their bill of fare hit the spot. An array of great-tasting spanakopitas filled with spinach, beef, and chicken, as well as perfectly-smokey baba ganoush, and falafel + hummus that'd satisfy any Moroccan-seeking palate.
Upon my next hurrah, I'll have to treat my lungs to a few puffs at their hookah bar. Emphysema never tasted so good!
got the livingsocial deal.
all the food was just ok. The hummus and the pita bread was decent
the chicken kebab that people raved about here was bland and has no taste
the place was also very small and smokey inside too
Don't think I would ever be back again
