What People Are Saying About Dar Maghreb
The Owner
Dar Maghreb
Owner
The Dar Maghreb has recreated for you the memorable adventure of being invited into a rich Moroccan house for dinner. Your waiter will perform the traditional hand washing ceremony and then have you sit back comfortably against the pillows all around to enjoy a traditional Moroccan feast.
As it would be in Morocco, our feast is comprised of vegetable salads and lentil soup, followed by B'Stilla--a mixture of chicken, eggs, toasted almonds wrapped inside a very thin pastry shell, baked with butter and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon. After this you will have the choice of two main courses. When you are seated at your table your waiter will explain to you about the fascinating ancient customs of Moroccan dining.

In Short
Thick pillows ring low tables, and a belly dancer periodically drifts by, moving to pounding Middle Eastern music. Waiters in velvet pantaloons perform a traditional Moroccan hand-washing ceremony on diners. The six-course set-price menu begins with starters like herb-flecked lentil soup, couscous and cold seasoned vegetables. Entrees include crispy roasted quail, garlicky shrimp and b'stilla--shredded chicken and almonds wrapped in phyllo dough.

This place needs to be updated. They even give you old towels for a napkin. The food used to be good but now it's horrible. The dancers there look old with skin hanging off them. After the owner died I see that this place is ready to be axed for how can it stay in business? The bread was old and the meat tasted like cafeteria food. There's the same down the block that's cheaper and nice looking dancers called Moon of Tunis.

We went to this restaurant because my friends teacher was belly dancing there that night. The menu is set and ran about $35 per person. The eggplant salad to start was really good, but when I asked him for a fork or a spoon to eat it with he told me that I was supposed to eat it with my hands, because that was the tradition. Even though all of the tables around us had silverware. He ended up bringing me a spoon, but with attitude. After this incident, he was rude for the rest of the evening, and when he brought the bill, I asked him for change for my $100 bill, and he told me he didn't have change. I was so disgusted at this point, that I couldn't wait to leave. We were 4 girls all together, so we paid with cash, and the balance on 1 girls credit card, he took the bill and asked us if we would be tipping him using this cash or if we were going to put it on the card. He was so rude it was unbelievable. This place looked like it was right out of some village, and they gave you freaking beach towels as napkins, and they keep the bread in a sombrero like basket that EVERYONE in the restaurant puts their hands on to take their own bread. I could go on, and on, but all I can say is that there are a MILLION other restaurants in Los Angeles, that are soooooo much better than this place. I will never go there again.
