Started with a delicious soup made of lentils followed by a delicious savory sweet appetizer called pastillo. Then we were served family style with all their entrees on the menu. There was enough food to serve all 7 of us comfortably. Then we were served fresh Baklava and mint tea afterwards. It was a delightful experience. The best part of the whole experience was the owner Hisham. He was very friendly when serving us and was super knowledgeable about his culture and food. We could tell he was very passionate about his culture's history and preserving and sharing the knowledge. Whata delightful kind man. My family and I will definitely return when we want a true authentic taste of Morocco.

Got the sultan feast which is family style so we could try more items. With the sultans feast you can only order 1 entree with your meal. Tried a variety of foods. Lots of interesting flavors. They served us a whole small chicken which had great flavor but too many bones. The lamb was tender and sweet. The beef was served with tomatoes and peas and was also tender. The belly dancing was done almost every hour. Enjoyed that the dancer got the audience involved and was very approachable and friendly. The meal is pricey but You basically are paying for a dinner and show which makes it more reasonable.

Every time I've come here, I am met with the largest smile and warmest invitation to find a table. I usually order the vegetarian combo platter, which comes with a variety of curries, salad, and of course, served on top of injera. It's hard to pick a favorite, which is why I enjoy the combo. I still don't know what secret they put into the salad dressing, but it's one of the most refreshing salad dressings I've had. I even tried to recreate it at home using the recipe she shared with me, but theirs still has some kind of magic. The whole combo is delicious but the cabbage and potatoes are the real star of the platter. They're so buttery and flavorful and I'm usually fighting whoever I'm sharing with to stop eating all the cabbage and potatoes. The beer glasses come out ice cold, which is always a plus. Highly recommend if you want Ethiopian food, or want to try out a new cuisine!

We stopped by Napa's Oxbow Public Market for an easy late lunch. We were starving and got a beef…read morekefta flatbread and lamb shoulder over couscous. I loved the grilled lamb shoulder which was tender with a good char and served over the couscous mix with raisins, chickpeas, and almonds it was a great bite! The preserved lemon and mint yogurt were great flavor additions. The beef kefta was good as well and nicely wrapped in the flatbread for an easy handheld bite but didn't have as much flavor as the lamb. We also got a mint tea to drink which was a nice sweet tea but didn't have the herbiness of the mint tea we had in Morocco which was a bit disappointing. Overall great quick meal with a ton of flavor. I wish Moro would open up in SF but we'll have to catch it again the next time we're in Napa!

We ordered the ground beef moussaka, and the lamb skewer along with the side of fries. Ground beef Mousaka was really Comforting and good. I would say one of the better moussaka that I've had. I like that it had ground beef as it's usually a vegetarian dish. It made the dish more hearty. My husband liked his lamp skewers. His only complaint was the uneven cook on the lamb. Some pieces were really really tender, and some pieces were overcooked. Service was great, but I feel like if it was a full house, they would need more servers. I feel like this place would be more busy if it wasn't attached to the mall. Overall 4.3/5 stars

Grill Santa Rosa is a large, Greek-Turkish restaurant located just outside Santa Rosa Plaza Mall…read more Look for the big, white statue of an outstretched hand. Zero street parking so park in one of the nearby big mall lots. The restaurant inside is decorative with all those colorful Turkish lamps hanging from the ceilings. We were surprised it was not busy for dinner. The food we ordered was very good. Chicken Shish Kebab was well-seasoned and the meat was moist. Branzino was a big, skin-on filet and likewise moist. Octopus salad was good though we wished for more octopus and less salad. Baba Ganoush was good though a bit more watery than we're used too. Note they only have fried chicken tenders for kid's menu and no cocktail menu. Instead, I got a nice glass of Greek Rose. They seem to have a good takeout business. Overall 4 stars.

The seasonal menu's offerings were ideal for a rainy April day, when their cassoulet, bocadillo and other cozy options provided the comfort food we were craving. I loved the colorful tables and tasteful decor. It was clearly a regular lunch destination for many of the diners. The bar was packed during the rush, around noon, as well as the other indoor seats. My lunch friend mentioned that the restaurant is owned and operated by a husband and wife team: Annette and Brian. The regulars were greeted with familiarity. It wasn't the kind of place where you're rushed for your order, nor is it a dine and dash location. The menu - both food and drink - has tantalizing options, so it's best to come back repeatedly. My Turkish Coffee arrived quickly after I ordered it, despite Annette being the only server on the floor. I enjoyed the Bocadillo too, especially the pickled vegetables that accompany the sandwich. For those complaining that the portions were small or that the prices were high, the quality of ingredients and depth of flavor are worth the cost and my portion was more than enough to satisfy my appetite, plus I left with the other half of my sandwich as an offering for my hungry twenty-something at home. We ordered a rice pudding for dessert and dug in before I was able to snap a picture! It was delicious though, with the poached blueberries and almonds offering an ideal balance of texture and flavor to earn this simple dessert my esteem. Next time I want to try the beet & sour cream cake though!
