A great experience. I knew it would be good, but it was even better than expected. The service…read morewas prompt and professional. We were a large group of 6, and the server helped us with the menu, provided recommendation, and ensured that we did not over order. I am new to these flavors and cuisine. Can;t really rate it objectively, but I am certain that it is delicious. We were tired of tapas, and this was perfect to rejuvenate our taste buds.

This place was really good. We arrived a little before opening, and, to our surprise, they opened…read moreright on time - not necessarily a given post siesta! Upon arrival we were welcomed by the friendly host and seated right away. The tables are these cute booth style seating. While very cute, they're also very tight - really designed for two people. I sat next to my young kiddo and we both found it somewhat uncomfortable. The seats are also quite shallow which made me feel like I was sitting at the end of my seat (I'm an average height guy ~6 ft). The restaurant was beautiful and felt like you had stepped into an old Moroccan bazaar. Really great balance of tradition and culture without being too tacky. After asking a few questions about the menu to manage dietary restrictions, we landed on the humus, babaganoush, chicken tagine and chicken couscous. Both the hummus and babaganoush were served with a pita bread. They were both solid. Flavors were on point. My one observation, and this could be due to Moroccan preparation, was the hummus was a bit thinner than most hummus. So while flavor was great consistency was a bit off to me. The main dishes were both wonderful. The chicken tagine was a generous portion, great for sharing. Two chicken drumsticks with a ton of veggies and fruits cooked to perfection that the meat fell off the bones. The sauce was tasty and well spiced. The couscous was similarly generous two drum sticks buried under a mountain of couscous and topped with a selection of root veggies and accompanied by a side of "salsa" aka chicken broth.

Located in the twisty pedestrian Arabe section of town, I was drawn here because of Yelp as well as…read moretheir prix fixe menu. Had the 12,50€ dinner that included appetizer, main and Morrocan mint tea with dessert. Daughter split with me and also had a milkshake. Falafel was spot on being moist and flavorful. Second course of chicken tagine had vegetables but no couscous. Veggies were a bit over cooked but chicken was falling off the bone. Mint tea was fresh and sweet. Loved the ambiance and the music! Discovered a couple of new artists that went straight into my Spotify playlist. You get a view of the pedestrian walkway below. Our waiter I discovered spoke French which was a relief since my Spanish is not so great. He actually spoke five languages: Spanish, Arabic, French, English and Berber.

As Sirat opened my eyes to the wonderful world of Moroccan sweets, and all of the complex spices,…read morearomas, tastes and textures that are unlike anything I have ever experienced before. I ordered the house mint lemonade- which was heavenly, so surprisingly sweet and refreshing (I am now addicted). We also ordered a small platter of assorted Moroccan pastries. These were delicate and crispy, drizzled with honey and garnished with whole almonds, filled with nuts and cinnamon and spices, in such different shapes and varieties. These morsels are simple looking, but every last crumb is sweet and delicious.
