RESTAURANT REVIEW...Their Morrocan theme decor gest you right in the mood for the food. If only their food itself was as exciting as their decorations. Their dishes were good, but not great. Their plates were perfectly presented, but the food lacked any depth of flavor. The prices are quite high, especially for the suburb of Charlestown. For this reason, I expected their food to be exceptional.
PERSONAL NOTE: I was left with the runs that night, which could have
been from the food...or smoking the hookah for over an hour in their lounge.

HOOKAH LOUNGE REVIEW...Their lounge, located downstairs, under the restaurant, has a dark, smokey mystery about it. We enjoyed our hookah experience, and, surprisingly for non-smokers, our lungs were not overwhelmed by this second hand smoke filled cellar.

BELLY DANCER REVIEW...Although both belly dancers were talented, ONLY 1 SEEMED TO ENJOY HERSELF, by smiling at people and making eye contact. (Other reviewers note the same thing) The dancers only came out for 5+ MINUTES, and ONLY ONCE AN HOUR. We wanted 5 minutes 2-3x/hour.

SECRET: The lounge staff sometimes allege $25 minimum/person,
but they will waive it when you come from their restaurant.
They also automatically add a 15% gratuity in the lounge.
No one tells you about this, so you might end up tipping twice.
