Went for dinner on 09/07/12 and was very excited, Moroccan food in Westchester, who would be. But that is where my excitement ended. The menu is a bit expensive, but I would have an issue with that if the food was good enough to be priced at that level. I ordered the "Mixed Grill", it was advertised as chicken, lamb, and homemade sausage with a spring salad. What I got was a 4 inch piece of 1/4 inch thick sausage, two small pieces of the flattest/dries chicken ever, and three small cubes of very well cooked lamb all on top of a large overdressed spring mix salad. They should have called this a salad with some small pieces of meat. And for $24.00 it is a rip off. For $24.00 I want to be full when I finish my meal and this left me wanting more. The size was more suited for a sharable appetizer. On a plus side my wife had a couscous meal with chicken, rasins, onions, and chickpeas. She said it was good but a little sweet with the fruit. But it was a huge portion and couscous is filling. At $22.75 not a value but my wife was happy with her meal so it was worth it. The brightest side of the meal was the appetizer. We had veggie cigars. They were amazing and I highly recommend them to anyone. Again the down side is the value. You get two small "cigars" (about the size of a small spring roll) for $7.00. for that price I would have expected 4 rolls, but if I were to go back I would order them again. Overall, the restauran was overpriced and below average. I don't recommend.
