I order delivery yesterday and I do have to say I am totally 120 percent impressed. They arrived on time, if not a few minutes early, and the food was very still hot to the point where we had to blow on it before eating.I ordered 2 couscous lamb plates and 1 eggplant lamb plate. The meat was flavorful and tender. The veggies cooked right. And the lentil soup was so delicious. OMG! Let me say the bread to was fresh and warm, and the pastry; fine thin filo dough filled with walnuts and a hint of cinnamon, sprinkled with powder sugar. Its lite on your tummy. Not sweet like baklava at all.I have had morrocan food in the past but not this tasty and flavorful. The next experience enjoying our food will be inside the restaurant.Thank you El Morrocco! π€π
Wonderful experience indeed. Ambience is brilliant, with music playing on the background, Belly Dancing where customers are encouraged to join in. Seating is community style, very comfortable and every group gets a big plate which substitutes for a table. Kids are free to run around and not constrained to child seats.Food is brilliant and unique. Every dish touched different areas of the senses. Dinner is $32 per adult.Do remember to take cash to tip the dancers.The whole experience is worth every dollar.
We were visiting family in California and they took us to this restaurant. We really had a great time. The owner is very pleasant and welcoming. The food was great. And of course we enjoyed the music and the belly dancer. It was so fun! The belly dancer gives the girls a chance to learn some moves and actually dance with her, then a chance for the guys as well. Overall, a wonderful experience! Totally recommend.
Such good food!! The meat feel right off the bone and everything was spiced just right. If you like Moroccan food, definitely go to this place! The belly dancer was a lot of fun too! The staff were all very attentive and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We will be back soon!!
Amazing restaurant. The atmosphere is unbeatable . The belly dancers are fantastic! Not a bad thing. Ah and the food Is so great!
Great environment for friends and family to have a great time. The food is good, not great, but the experience is really what makes this place. They have a great show with multiple belly dancers (1 at a time) over the course of the meal. This is not a place to grab a quick bite, the best way to enjoy this place is to set up shop for a couple hours and relax and enjoy the show!
Fabulous fun and delicious food! Perfect night out if your looking for a unique experience in the East Bay. The bellydancers are amazingly talented and beautiful. Enjoy!
This is a classy international restaurant that attracts high end tourists both in the restaurant and separate bar. Service is very good. Menu not particularly extensive but food quality and presentation is very good. The ceviche was particularly notable.
The food was fantastic, although I personally felt it could have used a tiny bit more salt. But that is just my palate. The ambience was great and the service was stellar.The absolute best was the floor show featuring two award-winning belly dancers. This is an experience to be shared, so go in a group.
Good food, good service, belly dancing, and a fun vibe and experience. I recommend going with a group and donβt be afraid to get up and dance!
A true Moroccan experience, with authentic menu and traditional seating and dΓ©cor. Check out the photos online to get an idea of what your in for. Makes for a great intimate & colorful experience, that also features belly dancers for entertainment. Service is fantastic, the owner is very hands on and super friendly. Food, while intimidating to those used to the typical American fare is incredible. If youβve never been to something like this before, El Morocco is a great place to start.
We celebrated my sons 23rd birthday, and the food and entertainment is excellent. We tried many of their dishes and really loved it. From their appetizers, main entrees, and their desserts are really good. The owner and the servers really catered towards their customers.The entertainment is really great where all of us took part. The atmosphere is overall great. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who are adventurous and want to eat Mediterranean cuisine with a taste of the entertainment and hospitalityExpect to pay $30 per person, but really worth the price for it. Great time to eat dinner, when there is a show during the evenings. Expect to spend at least 2 hours there dinner and show..Awesome!
Our family has loved this restaurant for the last 20 years! Food and experience never dissapoint. Love love love coming here!! β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
I basically went for the food I was starving and of course wanted to watch the belly dancer. I got there and the belly dancer had left even tho I was told on the phone she would be there. But I still stayed because I wanted to eat. The food wasnβt good at all it was cold and just unpleasant. But it was a chill place and just some of the staff was nice. They had some women working there and they kept coming insisting to take our plate even tho they knew the plates still had food on it. I would go again for the ambiance but not for the food!
Wonderful food AND entertainment. Belly dancers and music create a light hearted atmosphere. Order the honey almond chicken. You wont be disappointed!
Such a fun night! Amazing food combinations. The sweet flaky appetizer pastry was unbelievable!! Belly dancer worked nonstop for 45min...warning, she will pull people up to dance.
I first was introduced to El Morocco when I was 19 years old. I love everything about this place including the owner Fadil and his family. The food is amazing. The entertainment and atmosphere is one incredible. Several of my friends and my children have made this restaurant one of their favorites.
Excellent food and service. We had a great time.
Had a wonderful time. Five course dinner and entertainment were exceptional.
Food was very good. A lil bland for me until they brought out the chili sauce. Service was great and the dessert was amazing. They also had a belly dancer. She was very entertaining. I loved the rugs all over the floor and walls. It was like being in tent.i would go back.
What a great place. Food was delicious and the owner took real good care of us. We had a blast!
Best belly dancers. I wish they could put more on the menu and the food was bad. Anyway itβs a nice middle eastern restaurant to go to.
The fundamental issue with El Morocco is that I saw it as a restaurant that happened to have belly dancing, and they apparently see themselves as a belly dance performance space that happens to serve food. The food, at least, was excellent. Was not overly fancy, just good portions of food that reminds me of my grandmother who is great at cooking. The issue is timing. As soon as we sat down, we got our first courses. Two hours later, our main course appeared. Brutal. We left before the belly dancing started, which shocked and appalled the server. But two hours were enough.
Great food and great dancing show. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is awesome
This restaurant is a hidden gem. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone especially those who are wanting to try new and different things. The place was decorated very traditionally, the belly dancer was great, and the food was delicious. The food was so good that even though I dislike lamb, I was able to eat theirs with no complaints. They told us that they bake it for hours because the meat, even for the chicken were falling off the bone. Just dont order the kebab because it was tough in my opinion. The service was a little slower than we wanted but you could likely ask them to speed things up a bit if youre in a hurry.
Great cultural experience. Good food and service.
Fun but I wont return. The food was meh, staff super nice, pricing good
Awesome env. Good food with live belly dance. Service was very good.
Me and hubby enjoyed our time the owner is always nice staff as well. We took friends there it happened to be Easter and srcond Sunday . We all enjoyed the food and dancing just a slight idea maybe to have some more moments of all of us costumers involved in dancing eat her watching performers for the most of the evening. Music was great alive. Thank you!!
Great atmosphere, great belly dancers and good food!
Needs updating. The appetizers and salads were very mediocre, however the lamb and chicken entrΓ©s were very good. The belly dancer was good but the place lacked atmosphere and the waitresses were not dressed professional nor were they attentive. I do not think we will come back
The photo of this is not correct. Fun place. Nice dancers. It is a place to socalize. Plan on a 2+hour meal and entertainment. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday should be the best. Fun exotic unusual place for a first date.
My friend took me there and I did not want to leave The food is very very good, the drinks are amazing I had some Moroccan cocktails and couscous
Good food and lots of it. Great atmosphere and entertainment. Belly dancers!
Good food, friendly manager & staff, audience participation belly dancing show. Fun birthday outing.
I was amazed from the type of food they served. It was incredible. Also it was also entertaining watching the belly dancer. 5/5 for sure.
Awesome place to go if you wanna have a good time and good food
Excellent food and service. Dancers are amazing!
Actually I thought this was going to suck. But the food was surprisingly well prepared and presented. The belly dancers...ummmm...that part was ok. When I saw the dollar bills sticking out of the costume, it changed the entire feeling for me. They received maybe $12, and for that money the whole gig seemed sad. My thought was pay them a bit more and do not encourage tipping. Anyway, yes Id recommend going for some decent cuisine. And the Moraccan beer is completely drinkable as well.
Great food and amazing atmosphere!
We had a lot of fun. Dancers are beautiful and very nice live music
Great service.. great atmosphere.. entertainment... amazing!!!
Great food service environment and entertainment! Highly recommend
Food was ok, tagine came out on a plate, veggies were all over cooked and little spice was used. Service was prompt, albeit placid in nature. He real star of the show was the belly dancer. Compared to other experiences Ive had watching belly dancers at dinner, she was by far the highest skilled,
Food wasnβt very tasty ... though it has a belly dance show which is oriental and unique in the area
Excellent experience from the wonderful food, to the beautiful dancers. I took my husband as a valentine gift and we both want to go back.
A great place but pretty worn needs to be renovated a little
Ive heard some positiv things about it but have never actually eaten there. I passed by and thought it was a good photo opp.
Came here by accident when the intended restaurant was closed. I was very pleasantly surprised by the entire experience beginning with appetizers and Moroccan beer. Mains were delicious and easy to share; eating by hand was optional. It turned out that 2nd and 4th Sundays have live music and a series of belly dancers.
Good food and belly dancers. Very busy on Valentines Day
Went on a Wednesday night. Good food...Not amazing. Belly dancer was fun. Expensive even with Groupon.
Great food & Belly Dancing.
The atmosphere is pleasing to the eyes and so is the entertainment.
Good food, nice people. Ill be back.
Great vibe, fun times and great food!
Really fun experience good food
Great food, entertainment, and customer service. A definite must go!
Nice belly dancer, friendly staff
A bit pricey. Wish they offered rice. Ordered lamb and surprised it was not fresh (fairly gamey). Need more choices of food...too limited. Ordered Baclava for dessert and it was over priced for what was 1/4 a typical serving. Entertainment is great (belly dancing) especially if you are about three sheets to the wind. Infact, most people were ;). Good place for a group celebration. I might give it a visit again but order beef. I consider it Fair and potential for improvement, did not want to consider poor. If I return and the beef is bad...Ill reconsider my score ;)
I would never eat there again even if they paid me.I would go back again because of the dancers not the food. I gave it one star because I had no other choice.
Great service followed with great food
Great food, great entertainment (belly dancing)
Staff was friendly and food was amazing
