Dar Maghreb

Dine in a Moroccan palace

  • Private rooms
  • Recreated 15th century palace
  • Belly dancing nightly

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.

Editorial Review for Dar Maghreb – by Citysearch Editors

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.

I loved the interior and the whole look of the place but I have been here twice now with a large group and did not enjoy the experience either time. There are too many courses and the food is incredibly rich. Some of the dishes are supposed to be eaten with your hands but it doesn't really work in large groups with sloppy sauces! Our group was put in a very dark corner with no lamps or candles and we could not hear the music. I felt that I was paying for lots of food that I did not really want as it is a set dinner.

Pros: wonderful interior with fountain and mosaics

Cons: Set dinner with too many courses

The decor was gorgeous. The belly dancers were cool. Feel free to join in if you like. The food was very disappointing. I found it to be bland and very watered down. I felt like I wanted to add salt and pepper to most of the dishes that were served. The wait staff was attentive and the service was excellent. You're paying for the experience.

Pros: Ambience, valet parking, entertainment

Cons: Food
