Authentic Moroccan cuisine-Great!! 5

Edit Review By davis z. Simons Cafe

This was authentic Moroccan cuisine. The food was extremely tasty, fresh and very true to its origin. Every dish we ordered had all the flavor and taste of real Moroccan food. The owner/ chef made us feel at home, explaining to us the history and style behind every dish we were interested in. We ordered the "couscous royal" among other dishes YUM YUM, also the appetisers where great ,humus and falafel extremely tasty.The parking of the location is not easy to find / negotiate.... as the only entrance is by going south bound on sepulveda south of ventura and then turning west onto dickens,,,treaky parking entrance from the back..large parking lot with ample space .The back entrance is not promising as you almost walk through the bathroom and the kitchen !Do not be discouraged by the modest setting IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY YOUR DINNER AND $$$$ YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED THIS IS A JEWEL AND A DELIGHT.the four of us ate there the first time last Friday but i am sure we will be back many times.

Thank you LA TIMES for the heads -up.

moroccan food made by a moroccan chef.

by kanpachipachi at Citysearch

unlike other fancy moroccan places this place serves the real deal. this is as authentic as it gets. great appetizers to entrees. their hummus is the best in town. cigars are addictive. and their home-made lamb sausages... out of this world. and their desserts compliments the meal so well.

I almost wept it was so good...

by pazzy at Citysearch

literally. The tears welled up in my eyes as I tasted Simon's Sole-wrapped Scallops in Bernaise sauce. (It's not on the regular menu, but you should ask about it.) I can't begin to tell you how much love and attention Simon puts into your meal (and the service). This place is worth its weight in gold.

  • Pros: Just about everything
