Reasonable prices do not justify more than average service and dishes. New but unprofessional server overwhelmed. Even at the end of the service the tables were not cleared and the waiter was shooting pigeons with his product to clean the birds that invaded the tables to compete for bread.
The Merguez must have been of good quality but partially charred. Too bad certainly sometimes the food must be good and the location on the port is interesting. Good to know Restaurant hallal

RESTAURANT TO SHIP ABSOLUTELY

RESTAURANT TO SHIP ABSOLUTELY
I booked an 18 person table by phone for my son's 14th birthday, I went there on the birthday day in the morning as we had planned with the person I had on the phone to see where we were going to be installed and pay a deposit. And guess what? The manager (aggressive, rude and arrogant) told me with great coldness that it would not be possible and that they were not taking large tables. I then try to explain that it was the big day of my son's birthday that we were only a few hours away from the scheduled meeting time with my guests who were all due to go to this address. This boss always so cold and execrable said to me in all simplicity "
Listen Madam, there are plenty of other restaurants around ". She messed up my son's birthday and I walked out of the restaurant shocked at what she had just told me. I should have read the reviews before booking. Good luck to those who come through the door.

Super disappointed.

Super disappointed.
Hateful welcome and very aggressive server.
A shame for an oriental restaurant.

Too bad because the manager or boss is very
Friendly.
But to eat upset it is not worth it

Unfortunately I am obliged to put a star otherwise obviously I would not have put some. Pitiful home, the manager (I guess) has limited aggressed to not let my niece sit on the sofa 3 years. To the question "why? The answer: "It's like that !! ". Especially that customers were already instaled and had a girl of the same age on the couch ... We can really talk about service at the head of the client ... We turned back and took a small restaurant 2 steps from it- with a very nice welcome and excellent food!

Restaurant not to manage at all there is no person to welcome us Then I stood in line for 25 minutes then when I found myself in front of me I decided to go back since there is no one to welcome us then when I am got inside there was a manager who told me to go stand in line like everyone else when she did not know at all I had made my tail of 25 minutes unpleasant manager she blows her speaks very badly disaster I do not stay in a restaurant like its I decided to leave and even the waiter told me yes yes you are right to go elsewhere !!!!

Excellent restaurant.

Excellent restaurant.
Authentic and warm welcome.
Tasty homemade cuisine. I highly recommend this address if you go through La Ciotat.

Service and hospitality that leave something to be desired ... You have to be very patient. Too much !
At the culinary level, it's good; nothing more.
We have frequented this restaurant for more than 10 years but there was a big disappointment. We won't be coming back.

To avoid absolutely.

To avoid absolutely.
I have just returned from the restaurant. Interminable wait, served after 1h30 of waiting. Despicable patroness. I could hardly recognize the restaurant where I had eaten for more than 10 years each time I came on vacation to La Ciotat.
When it was time to pay, she asked us to calculate everything because she did not have only that to do. very disappointed, I will not come back and will say it around me.

Arrived by chance in this restaurant on the Old Port of La Ciotat and wonderful experience. Hearty home-made dishes, restaurant completely renovated, very nice staff and unbeatable value for money. We will come back!

Really topissime as usual. Mandatory stop as soon as you go down on the Ciotat
Little advice do not wait to stop there because it is fast full. We went for 19h to be sure to have a table or book.
The decor has been redone is sleek but very pretty
I love the portrait of these oriental women.
The kitchen always as good and ditto For the reception.

Order couscous and tagine as good as each other! Very good quality vegetables and meat, careful and warm service despite the delivery time! As well as in the restaurant with the view less ... thank you very much we had a great time!

To eat there quite often I unfortunately find that the quality deteriorates. I no longer find in certain dishes (tagine) the flavors of the east. Maybe because it was a Sunday, it was full. I think it's best to go there on weekdays. Correct without more.

Restaurant we wanted to go to.

Restaurant we wanted to go to.
Very disappointed we arrived at 8 p.m.
I order a mechouia and I wait 30 minutes before the waitress takes it to me. We ordered 2 tagines 1 tagine Marrakech and 1 tagine Berber, then the tagine Marrakech full of oil mas of taste the tagine Berber no taste no spices no tasteless salt more we were served for tagines at 9pm and when we had asked for the bill they were quick in 5mn c was set and we left.
We will not go back there it is on
The 40 euro note for dishes that were not up to par

So where to start ? The reception was unpleasant, ...

So where to start ? The reception was unpleasant, more than 2 hours waiting. To have no flavors in our dishes! And to top it off, in one of our plates the salad was not washed so we found two small surprises (insects)! And the manager or the boss or I do not know what! We are lying when we show him insects and dare to tell us that we brought them back! And in the end we all had the urge to vomit. To conclude that I do not advise you to go eat at this restaurant because you could find other surprises.

The best thing about this place is the owners and ...

The best thing about this place is the owners and all those who work. Kindness, courtesy and attention are welcome. The dishes are delicious and served impeccably. Doses also abundant. Attention should also be paid to the needs of families with children. The view of the harbor is splendid.
I always come back with great pleasure.
I recommend it !!

I was already disappointed with the first version ...

I was already disappointed with the first version of this restaurant but its renovation did nothing better: very long service, staff totally indifferent to customers, excessive price in relation to what you are given to eat or drink. The mussels should not be very fresh because I was indisposed all evening! Restaurant to flee for all these reasons!

Everything was disgusting

Everything was disgusting
We ordered a Caesar salad and Roquefort mussels. In the salad there were diced cordon bleu and eggplant when it was to have breaded chicken and of course without eggplant. We asked for that, but after a long wait that a waiter came see us.
They changed with another salad or they changed that cordon bleu with nugget (of course from nugget buy from supermarket)
Very very salty Roquefort mussels, the last ones impossible to eat.
The table cutlery was placed directly on the table, without a napkin (at the same time that all precautions must be taken due to COVID)
Very long wait from start to finish
The bill had to be advertised because nobody saw us for at least 25 minutes.
We do not recommend!

Of Moroccan origin, son of an experienced cook, there are few oriental restaurants that have satisfied me but there ... Do not hesitate for a second! It's excellent !!!
Small flat .. the waiting time on Sunday noon but it's worth it anyway.

Whenever I go down to La Ciotat, I eat in this restaurant. I'm never on top of it, whether it's couscous or tagines. The prices are not too expensive so it's perfect. The boss is smiling and takes the time to chat with customers so it deserves 5 stars

Small problem for the mussels where there are many empty shells but good When it is the holidays it is said that there is more serious in life.

We have ordered lamb tajine, with pineapple and with chickpeas and aubergine, the squid and the kebab. All excellent, full of flavor and very good portions.
The service is very friendly and the place has many decoration details that make it pleasant; more than just a place to eat at a good price.
It is worth waiting for the time to prepare the dishes (we are in the middle of August)
We will be back

An idyllic setting, which will make you travel through the flavors of the Orient, tajine couscous without forgetting the horns of gazelle ... a true delight to 5 stars more than deserved, a staff involved and listening! A faultless and especially not to be missed!

Restaurant not recommended ++++++++. Awful welcome. The manager is disrespectful to her customers, is absolutely unprofessional. We were verbally attacked because she did not understand the number of people we were, incompetent, unpleasant to the point of running away except that we were accompanied by children. In addition, the wait for the dishes was endless, 1:30 to eat! Horrible. We had not received any apologies from him, which proves his lack of professionalism. The positive is the waitresses who were very cheerful, available and professional despite their hierarchy. Finally this restaurant is not worth any star, I would even say a huge 0, it's a mess !!! She should have been a prison guard rather than a restorer.

3/4 hour wait for an entry

All very spicy like the note !!

We went to eat on Tuesday July 7, 2020 in the evening, firstly the server was not on his products on the card, about 45 min to place an order knowing that there was not a lot of people because it was 22h, bland caesar More

Nice restaurant with recent decoration.

Nice restaurant with recent decoration.
We ate there two sweet lamb tajines salted prunes, pineapples, copious and fragrant fines. A real treat.
The prices on the map are most correct.
Our server was very efficient, which was not the case for all.
Only complaint, no wine at the proposed pitcher.
We will be glad to come back.

restaurants to be avoided ... very poor reception and interminable wait at all levels, from placement to order taking, more than 1h30 before being served despite numerous reminders. go your way ...

Decent place in the row of restaurants at the harbour. The moules frites were fine and a good portion, the brick was pretty good but also pretty small. Friendly and attentive staff. Not overprized.

Bad experience !

Bad experience !
The boss does not want to serve by cons to take the money at the checkout no problem for her!
The tagine was excellent, we eat top! 1h waiting worry! We arrived at 13:45! Very few people so far waiting!
We could not sit on the bench because we had a 7 year old with us! It is unacceptable ! Regarding semolina it was served in a very small bowl! For two tajine! And she told us it was free so only one bowl! And in the end I never had the second orange juice I ordered Bravo

A truly magnificent setting, refined decor and friendly service. A wide variety of oriental dishes that will satisfy a lot of people. Reasonable price overall. We've seen kitchens that shine clean that's very rare these days. We will be back for sure

This restaurant is a shame, well I do not know if the term restaurant is appropriate for this place!
The mussels come out empty (only shells) or cold !! The cutlery is gross !! The staff leaves a lot to be desired, at the same time when you pay 6 an hour to the black man, you screw up the system plus the young people who have the motivation !!! In short it is to be avoided !!!

Top restaurant. I stop there several times a year as soon as I have been going south for more than 2 years ... Friendly place. Top staff. Kitchen no complaints. Everything is very good. I love. This place has become my favorite restaurant. It feels good, like home ... You can go there with your eyes closed. The manager is adorable & very kind.

The 08/13/2020

The 08/13/2020
I made a call at 1:30 p.m. to reserve a table for six that night for 8 p.m. The gentleman takes my reservation without understanding my name and asks me to come at 7:30 pm because otherwise my table will not be on the terrace. We accept.
In the evening, we introduce ourselves and explain that we have booked for six people; the gentleman does not ask for the name and tells us that there are no more places outside and therefore to go inside. We accept, it is 7:50 pm ... we waited at least 30 minutes before someone came to take our order. Then we started eating after 9:15 pm, after a total wait of over an hour and a half.
The food is good, not exceptional though.
When paying, we ask to pay separately and by credit card (credit card is accepted by the restaurant and with covid measures, contactless is preferable). The lady refuses at first and then tells us that it's up to us to figure it out while getting nervous and we just have to do it with the ticket. I pass the waiters who talk to us without knowing us and the obnoxious tone of the cashier, the clear disagreement between the staff and the mismanagement of orders and restaurant space ... a mess.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL.

I can not unfortunately note the quality of the meal, because we did not even let us settle, we were strictly forbidden to install our 3 year old daughter on their couch ... why? No reason has been given! So we left the restaurant immediately.

If I could put any star I would do it willingly! Aggressive and unpleasant staff!

So how to say .... we took Mussels fried but ... mussels overcooked and too salty, fries not salty enough. The sauce is good on the other hand but that is perhaps the only positive point. Maybe the rest is good, but ESPECIALLY don't take a fried mold! Please for your taste buds!

Tajines lamb chickpeas aubergines and a pineapple prunes very good and plentiful, very good value for money, delivered to your home, no complaints ... A good address I recommend thank you and bravo

Good location, modern decor, very clean.

Good location, modern decor, very clean.
Hearty and good dishes. Correct prices. Restaurant visited in September. The service was not long and not rude.
Little extra for babies: high chair available and possibilities to change babies.

Very bad home, the waitress made us round in circles for a table of 5 people while there was a lot of room,
Far from being courteous, we got ourselves attacked by the waitress. We had to turn back and choose another restaurant or the welcome and largely warm. We strongly discourage this "restaurant"

Server and boss disrespectful but really incredible !!! I went there every year but never again will I go there that's for sure! We were 7 at table with each of us a different menu ben believe me that no one was satisfied with his dish ... tajine without sauce, steak of plastic and burnt and so on! I advise you there is much better elsewhere.

Super long wait 20 min for us to take the order plus 30 min to be served. A rib steak that looks more like 3 pieces of steak 2 casseroles of mussels with sands seaweed and all that goes with it. A jug of water with a foul taste. Very unpleasant service and management !!!

Too bad I can't put zero stars! More than an hour and a half of waiting once seated at the table (which was not cleared) the server passes in front of us several times without clearing the plates and cutlery of previous customers, when we ask him (kindly) to kindly rid, the latter takes us from above. So we went to dine elsewhere, the basis of a restaurant owner / waiter is to be available and pleasant with customers otherwise there is no point in doing this job! And learn to manage the flow when there is a lot of demand! And in response from the "owner", teach your waiters to be polite and clear the tables before installing clients ... and when you don't have the capacity to accommodate so many people and avoid making people wait 1h45 better not to accept them and many customers have also complained about the slowness of service to eat EVERYTHING and entirely EVERYTHING is to be reviewed ... a shame ...

Very good couscous with grouper and lamb also, excellent mint tea as well as oriental pastries. We had not been there for a few years, a very good address, we will come back with pleasure, continue like this

New decor. Good food, dishes ordered tajine and couscous, reservation problem and lack of communication between the staff, waiting for dishes a little too long and reduced consistency on some dishes, see not much to eat and useless to propose for the vegan dish.

Reception of the most lambda, dirty table and cushions, cutlery, glasses and napkins left all day in the dust ... (And this even in times of covid! It is not enough to wear (or not for that matter) a inside or simply display it on your storefront. There are processes to follow as a restaurant "professional".) A great effort to keep clean. The food is good (for briks, tajines) but it is very poorly served, a little professionalism would not hurt (no excuse for that). The wait is long, the waiters / their lost, the boss not always pleasant ... We serve you cans; sodas in whiskey glasses, plastic bottles ... like in a snack bar but at the price of a restaurant ... A restaurant establishment without restaurant values. They would not be the only ones to offer this type of food, it would certainly not be so crowded.
A good hearer!

Meal very average, the quality is not at the rendezvous.
Price drinks too excessive 4 euros a Coke in a can and not even in a glass bottle as in all restaurants.
The boss is much more friendly with people in her community even if we have been welcomed properly.

the welcome was friendly, the service fast due to the fact that there are mpins of vacationers, seen on the port, a couscous rich in meat, for a reasonable price. the evening was pleasant, the only downside met the tables for 2 are a little narrow they are quickly loaded but I will return with pleasure.

Much too much waiting, have ordered after 1h15 of waiting to finally tell us that they do not do this and that there was no kebab finally it is a restaurant to be avoided I strongly advise against !!!

The couscous are hearty and the bricks are plump.

We fell in love with the oriental pastries (excellent) and the fresh mint tea.

I highly recommend

Sad for the dessert of 3 cakes more than one! ???
A little more, offer lemon wipe for the fingers after the prawns.

What a disaster! Catering is a passionate profession. You have to have a great sense of hospitality and above all love people to run a restaurant establishment. Cooking is sharing, warmth and gluttony. To have been greeted so coldly by this Najet waiter it seems to me ... I could not imagine that one could be in the room service and be so rude. Courtesy madam, welcome, friendliness ... you don't seem to be happy to be so contemptuous. There were 9 of us ... we immediately left the restaurant. Good luck to those who pass the door.
