    Bastilla appetizer, DELICIOUS!!
    Annie M.

    We were so excited to find out Marrakesh had opened in this spot & it was a must go to for my husbands birthday. Years ago we went to the Costa Mesa location.. several times. Tonight the food was JUST as delicious, and the hospitality just as warm. We feel like more people need to know about this gem!!! But know this - It is not a quick meal, it is an EXPERIENCE. They were a little short handed tonight but it just gave us more time to enjoy it all. Grab your best friends, put your phones DOWN, enjoy deliciously cooked food, conversation, entertainment and the ambiance. You definitely will not feel like you are at the Anaheim Packing House. Thanks for the perfect evening Marrakesh!!

    Food and service were amazing!! Never had Moroccan food so going to this restaurant was perfect! The ambiance was very "cocktail lounge" feel with Moroccan vibes. I'll definitely be going back again!

    I'm so glad there's an authentic Moroccan restaurant in OC again!!!! The new restaurant is tucked in the corner, downstairs of Anaheim Packing District. Once inside, we're transported into a beautiful, nomadic style tent with bright colored pillows and draperies. My favorite dish has got to be the chicken and almond bastilla- a MUST if you're here. Of course, we had to go with the honey lamb tagine and the couscous w/ merguez (sausage of beef and lamb) which was just voodoo delicious and flavorful. The baklava and the mint tea were the perfect end to an incredible meal. Our female server and the manager were incredibly hospitable and so kind. Looking forward to many more dinners here.

    I hate doing this because the server was actually really nice and polite but there were several things that could have been done better. First off, upon entering the host was busy talking to someone who apparently worked or was from a restaurant that had a Michelin star. We waited about 5 minutes trying to make ourselves known before the Michelin guy signaled to the host that we needed help. The restaurant was not busy; maybe 2-3 other tables were busy. The service seemed to be a little slow. We ordered the meat set item menu which came with soup, appetizers, main dish and desserts. Apparently they serve what you order one by one and wait until you are done to serve the next items. Now I've only had Moroccan food one other time and from what I remember the seasonings were more on the bland side. That was my experience with the soup and appetizers. The fried spring roll was actually pretty good though. The lemon chicken and lamb were also seasoned well enough that they were not bland so I did not have a problem with that. The dessert was supposed to be baklava but for some reason we got a dessert platter which included ice cream, dates with almond paste, crème brûlée and ice cream. The only thing I liked was the ice cream, which was the one thing that wasn't "house made." The crème brûlée tasted like a garlic clove accidentally fell in it and it tasted more like cheese than dessert. I asked the server if it was supposed to not be sweet and he said traditional crème brûlée isn't sweet. I'm not a professional chef, or pastry chef, but i have eaten a lot of things and consider myself a decent cook and baker so it just didn't sit right with me. I wish I had them taste it in front of me so I could confirm it was meant to taste that way. It tasted more like cheese with a burnt sugar topping which isn't a good combination. The restaurant is pretty nice inside though. Like I said the server was nice. The service was just slow and the food could have been better. I wish I could give it a better review.

    This place is an absolute hidden gem! Excellent service, incredible food, wonderful ambience! When we arrived, it took us a minute to find the place. It's in the back of the packing district with a very discreet entrance. Once we walked in it was like we walked into a new world. All the chaos and noise from the packing district was gone and we found ourselves in a dimly lit, beautifully appointed "grotto" with traditional Moroccan music and decor drawing us in. Our server was very funny and very informative. He was clear about their process -- everything was made fresh to order and brought out one course at a time. So the first course takes awhile, but while you're enjoying each course, your next course is being prepared. All ingredients are fresh, bought the same day. After some enjoyable discussion with our waiter, we ordered the preset 4 course dinner -- I ordered the couscous chicken and my wife ordered the honey lamb. Wine for the lady, and for me a beer. I was between the Lebanese beer and the Parisian dark beer and after a convincing recommendation from our waiter I went with the dark beer. It was one of the smoothest, tastiest beers I've ever had! As each course arrived, we were blown away by the explosion of flavors without the excessive salt that most restaurants use. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the lamb fell off the bone, the presentation with each dish was beautiful and added to the lavish experience. We needed a to-go box because the main entrees were abundantly portioned. Then came the baklava! One 3-in square piece for each of us, fresh out of the oven! It was perfectly prepared and not overly sweet, full of flavor with a perfect crunch. After our meal we both couldn't stop ranting about what a great experience we had just had! We plan to go back in the next couple weeks to try the seafood dishes. Another interesting point -- often after eating tasty food, we spend the next couple hours feeling a little bloated or uneasy while we digest it, but not here. This was like an extravagant home cooked meal! There was also live entertainment coming a bit later. Our waiter said it was sometimes live Moroccan music, sometimes dancers, sometimes a belly dancer. Unfortunately we weren't able to stay for it. Hopefully we will catch one of these next time. I usually pick the restaurant for our Friday night dates, but this time my wife surprised me for Father's Day. It was one to remember! Looking forward to coming back!

    The staff was amazing handling my allergy- I got to speak with the chef and all. It was delicious that atmosphere is wonderful and it is a must if you're in this area!

    Fantastic atmosphere, really well decorated, and the ambiance was paired well with the music. Service was terrific during the soft opening, our waitress helped explain menu items and was on top of every course. My friend and I both ordered the 4 course prefixe Meat menu, there were other options if you are vegetarian or like seafood. The soup was delicious and served with a side of lemon to add to taste. The Kemiya platter was a little bit of everything with pita, hummus, marinated carrot, and eggplant puree. I had the honey lamb and it literally fell off the bone with the sauce containing dried fruit. My friend had the Chicken Kebab and it had some sweet couscous. Dessert was a warm baklava that was sweet and nutty. Very good experience 10/10 would go again. Just look for the green door on the right behind the caboose.

    Wow! This new restaurant on the lower level of the Anaheim Packing District is a feast for all the senses! I stepped inside the doors of the new Marrakesh restaurant and was instantly whisked away from the hustle and bustle of Anaheim CA to the soothing atmosphere of an elegant Moroccan eatery. I was greeted and seated by a friendly host who welcomed me. The decor inside is epic; it transported me back to my travels in Morocco. It was challenging for me to concentrate on selecting my meal from the menu because I wanted to study every incredible detail of this beautiful space; I enjoyed a feast for my eyes before a single plate was even brought to my table. The food was delectable - truly an authentic experience. I love honey lamb and their recipe did not disappoint! Juicy, tender, complex flavors. The appetizers were top notch as well. I am so looking forward to returning and making my way through the menu. To my delight, a dancer also performed! As I understand it, the owner intends to host a variety of live entertainment each week. Everything about this place is meant to be thoughtfully savored, contemplated, admired. I am SOO looking forward to making this a regular spot to relax, embark on culinary journeys, or even just enjoy some appetizers, desserts, cocktails, or tea and enjoy a show!!!

    Marrakesh is now my favorite Moroccan restaurant! It is a beautiful comfortable restaurant with Moroccan decor on the lower floor of the Packing House. I had the chicken bastilla and the lamb tagine, both of which were delicious! The music and dark interior add to the ambiance. The service is warm and kind, almost like being welcomed in to someone's home to eat like family. The food here is the best Moroccan food around, even better than when I was on a brief stop in Morocco on a tour last year. I will definitely be back to Marrakesh anytime I am in the area visiting.

The beef shawarma was juicy and seasoned really well, and watching the shawarma spinning while they prepare everything was such a nice touch. The kafta was also delicious. Freez mix drinks so refreshing from Cyprus. And the pita was so soft and fresh -- definitely worth getting with your meal. Creps with nutella were perfect deser. The interior very traditional Lebanese. Taboleuh salad I highly recommend to try. Overall, great Mediterranean food, good portions, and lots of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu!

It's only about 7 minutes from the parks, making it the perfect lunch or dinner spot if you're craving something flavorful that won't leave you feeling heavy. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The spinach pastry was hands down my favorite, perfectly flaky with a delicious savory filling. The potato pastry was a close second and just as satisfying. If you visit, don't skip the pastries! We also tried the steak and chicken kebab combo plate, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was especially tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. You can actually watch the meat being cooked fresh in the back, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. I ordered the veggie plate with falafel, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, and tahini sauce, and every single item was delicious. The falafel really stood out. It had a perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful center. Dipping it into the baba ganoush, hummus, and tahini made every bite even better. One of my favorite things was that the meal was incredibly satisfying without feeling greasy or overly heavy. It was fresh, filling, and packed with flavor, but I still felt great afterward. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, and the service was impressively fast. They also have a great selection of Mediterranean spices if you want to bring some of those incredible flavors home. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team. Between the fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent service, Zait Zataar has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite Mediterranean restaurants. I'll absolutely be coming back!

    If you have even the slightest interest in coming here, DO IT!! It won't disappoint!…read more The menu offers a variety of Mediterranean and Lebanese dishes to choose from, some with a Mexican twist like Tacos Arabes! I recommend the Les Amis Platter for little bit of their staples! The ambiance in here is unique. The exterior and interior have a special feeling that immerses you to an authentic Mediterranean space. I'd like to add that the complimentary pita chips and hummus is a great touch! I met the owner and she's an admirable woman, she's kind and passionate about sharing her cuisine. Perfect place for a date night, birthday, fun dinner-hangout or simply for a a good meal!

    Literally saw the sign while walking and I have no regrets!…read more First off, the ambience is beautiful. The dim lighting and candles are super romantic. I got a seat with a bit of sunlight coming in from the window and that felt like the perfect touch. Avery is so kind. She immediately mentioned the Soup of the Day and the blend for the herb water and I knew I had to get both! They rotate both out every single day depending on what they have on hand, which is a great indicator that they source their ingredients fresh. The soup was puréed eggplant with a coconut milk or cream base and it was the creamiest eggplant dish I'd ever had in my life. Very smooth, no seeds. I didn't even know eggplant could get to that consistency. It's a beautiful soup and I would come back just for that. Arabic tea was not as strong as I'd had in other restaurants but for a nice dining place like this, I think it's good that it wasn't so bitter. Maybe it's also because I dunked a whole packet of honey in mine beforehand Beef stew was great. There were only a few beef chunks but if you're a fan of the vegetable you're choosing (I love zucchini so that worked out well for me), then it's a perfect portion for one. I can't believe I've just been passing this gem behind for so long! Will definitely come back with some company next time around.
