Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant

What an experience. They rinse your hands in rose water prior to letting you eat, even they don't trust that you actually washed your hands after using the bathroom. I reccomend just getting the set meals that way you can enjoy soup, salad, appetizer, entree of your choice, and dessert. Probably about $30 per person, if you go with a group, I'd suggest ordering different entrees so you can share and try more variety. Whole experience was probably about 2 hours, belly dancers come out later in the evening which we were glad to have caught it. First time having Moroccan food and I think this is literially the only Moroccan spot in Seattle so I have nothing to compare to, it's located in Belltown so only street parking. You might have to sit on the floor so recommend not wearing anything too tight or difficult that you can't squat down. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

The 5 course meal experience, including a spiritual hand wash with your meal mates and belly dancers who've studied in the Middle East for entertainment (with an option to get up and learn). The decor: low tables/couches/stools, hanging lamps, bulgeoning ceiling sheets, tapestry. These transport you somewhere well outside of Seattle. Makes me want to travel. There was a lot of food, overall was decent, some new to me so I'd need to adjust my palate. Lamb lamb lamb. Well worth to try it at least once.

I was beyond delighted by the service, food, and experience here. We just stumbled across this place. Firstly, there's a gorgeous tiled piece on the front facade of the restaurant. When you enter, the ambiance is dark, cozy, and homey. You're seated at low tables on small pouf/cushions.There's a 5 course meal option and a La carte menu. At first they only give you the 5 course meal option which honestly sounds like a good deal (all we're around 28-30 bucks).We grabbed a couscous dish and this dish that ended up being like a gourmet Moroccan hot pocket. All dishes were delicious. We shared two aka carte items between 3 people.Before we were served the server, a really kind person, washed our hands. We all put our hands over a beautiful silver basin looking thing and he poured water over them.Was truly looking for a quick dinner and had delightful immersive experience instead.

Fun time experiencing the food, service, and ambiance here. Every member of the staff was incredibly friendly as we tried and shared a variety of dishes, ordering an option that included different preparations of chicken and lamb. Everything was presented nicely and we enjoyed our meal. For the adventurous, there are quite a few more exotic options on the menu.

The food I would say, was just above average but I think the whole experience is what you go for. Love the interior and the intimate seat setting inside.Hand washing before and after the meal (rosewater rinse afterwards).I tried the Brochette Marrakesh ($32.95 for 5 course). The skewers were small and the lamb bits were nice and lean. Other courses:-Lentil Soup-Salad and Bread-B'Stylle Royale (Flaky pastry with cinnamon/powdered sugar and ground meat filling)-Rice Pudding Dessert-Morrocan Tea was Nice and SweetAlso ordered a few glasses of Moroccan Wine ($9.50)NO a la carte on the weekends. The Belly Dance show was fun! Staff was nice but also a but pushy? Located in belltown.

Unique menu, loved the food and Ambience. Definitely recommend the sweet pastry with chicken and cinnamon

Been here a couple of times and left satisfied both the times.A different experience with your hands being washed at your table. Ambience is good and so are the staff and service. For the price on the menu, you would get a salad, a baklava, lentil soup, the main course, milk pudding and mint team. Make sure you have a good appetite while you go here so that you don't waste food :) . I wanted to try the hare dish, but they didn't have it. So I went for the spicy lamb (again) as it is very flavorful. The mixed kabob was also good, which we would rate second of the dishes we ordered and the chicken the third (we aren't fans of meat based dishes which taste sweet). Do order the tagine stuff, the meat just melts in the mouth. My family loved this place.

First time trying Moroccan food for our family. I wanted a unique experience. We heard about Marrakesh from a friend who suggested the experience. Marrakesh is really unassuming from the outside- looks small. Inside is cozy and intimate with pillow poufs and carpeted walls- really cool setting. The whole experience was cool- Handwashing at the tableEggplant salad to share with their fresh bread (resembles milk bread-spongy).Lentil soup A puff pastry with cinnamon and sugar with minced chicken inside- that was my favorite. I was pretty disappointed with my meal- I expected spices and complex flavors. I ordered the lamb and eggplant tagine- it was a chunk of unseasoned lamb with one tiny ring sliced eggplant- chewy and tough. The lack of seasoning just shocked me- very bland. My husband's spicy lamb also had zero spice. Lastly washed with rose water- smelled amazing- even some coconut pudding and hot sweet mint tea, pudding was an interesting texture, tasted amazing. Service was quick and friendly. He did say this isn't a place for picky people- I had one daughter who just ate bread. Overall, recommend for the experience. My son's kebab and rice looked way better than my lamb and eggplant tagine.

Food was delicious and ambiance was relaxing and beautiful, service was great ! Would love to go back with family and friends!Feels like I was in Marrakesh.

Great ambiance, excellent food, great entertainment! Dinner & show! Easy to access on the busy Seattle
