Oh wow! Loved, loved, loved it! Ambience, aromas, flavours and decor took me all the way back to the streets of Fez and Marrakesh. Service was brilliant and Thandi was more than accommodating in finding vegan options for me. An absolute must visit!

An incredible place which I highly recommend.Very vibrantly decorated in true Moroccan style - you won’t be disappointed. There are about 4 different levels which takes you up to Le Terrasse Rooftop Cafe with a Delhi. Indoor and outdoor seating. I believe there is also a function venue so if you feel like you over partied you can book into their guest house.Complimentary olives with your drinks. I just ordered a starter platter which was really good and my husband ordered a Couscous Lamb dish which he enjoyed.Only downer for me was that the cocktail menu was non existent with just 2 options and the restaurant closes as early as 5pm.Service was good

I am really confused about this restaurant, most of the reviews seemed good and I have wanted to go there for a while. Unfortunately I think the overwhelming feeling is disappointment.The restaurant itself is tiny, maybe 10 to 12 tables, the chairs are extremely uncomfortable after a couple of minutes and I am still trying to understand the kitchen. It appears the kitchen is on the same floor and what is rather concerning is the 3 or 4 microwaves.I did not see any real cooking done, maybe I do not really understand the cooking methods but honestly appeared to me that our food was dished up and reheated.The servers were not very attentive at all, we were sitting around for some time with zero interactions and no second offer for drinks in our hour and 30 minutes there. They seemed friendlier when it came to paying..pushing for a tip maybe?The most dissappointing part was the taste of the food, I really expected a massive flavor burst with lots of spice and overwhelming aroma..this was not the case as I had to really lay on the salt and spices myself.In summary then, a great idea as we all get tired of the same old Italian and Burgers on offer in Pretoria but the space is very strange, there is no atmosphere other than the overbearing music, disinterested staff and dissappointing food.

The attention to detail was an experience. The hosts (Adelé, and Richard in the restaurant) were so friendly, that they felt like family. The shop was a treasure chest. The restaurant was devine. Wonderful date lunch for us. Thank you!!

What an authentic experience! The food is unique and delicious, the service is great, the owner Joehan frequently came by and shared stories of the food and culture. Do yourself a favour and go experience Moroccan house and cuisine.

Quite a magical experience. Beautiful scenery and amazing colours. Cant believe I have never heard of this place before. We throughly enjoyed the platter for 2 and the magic juice.Only thing was our waiter mustve been having an off day as she was slightly rude and awkward while serving us or maybe this was just her personalty, Im not sure. I eventually started calling another waiter for help instead which made a massive difference to the whole experience.Im a chocolate fan and had the rose water brownies, was amazing, should have taken a few home.I will definitely go again!

Outstanding lunch at this hidden gem. Joseph was a consummate host whilst Richard lovingly prepped the meals. We had the Lamb with honey and dates tagine and the Arabic Salad - green leaves, fried halloumi, chickpeas, olives, falafel with hummus a delicious dressing.Delighted to see Groote Post Sauvignon Blanc wine on the list - as good as always!Coconut biscuit & date and sesame square were bought to snack on later.La Terrasse is only open for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is only available to guest staying in the guest house, or for functions.Highly recommended.

Called the restaurant/ Cafe to find out if it’s open and do I require a reservation unfortunately the staff member that answered was very unhelpful and confused about my question , As far as I understand from the phone conversation the cafe isn’t open anymore to the public so keep that in mind. If you plan on making a trip

The setup is Morroccan inspired, one can also buy furniture and/or souvenirs. When you walk into the cafe, you are welcomed an aroma that makes you salivate. Unfortunately, when I visited 80% of the dishes that I wanted to try out were available on that day. I settled for their beef tagine and a prawn salad. The beef dish tasted like a homemade meal and the prawns were very chewy but the flavour was there. The Moroccan special drink that was recommended was okay I think it wouldve been great if it was cold (the quantity of ice provided in the drink was not enough).

A great disappointment. The restaurant closed but it still pops up as a restaurant with a full menu. Misleading advertising they are retailers only. Rather go to Plan B in Greenwich Village down the road 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is not just about wonderfully different, delicious food......it is about a total experience. You honestly feel transported to a rooftop restaurant in Morocco. Highly recommended. The only way it could be improved,is if the waitrons were better trained.

My Girlfriend and I went to try this place out on the 24th of November 2018. We both suffered extreme food poisoning from the food we had. We both had different meals so we can’t say it was one bad meal as both meals were completely different. We both believe they gave us very old food that has been sitting a while which they just warmed up. I don’t recommend trying this place unless they can prove to the health inspector they are practicing and giving safe food to us.

Really great Moroccan food. We went for a company lunch and it was divine. The owner was there and entertained us, explained things to us and would open up bottles of spice and let us smell it. He recommended dishes and even challenged some of us to try the Harissa chili (which was not as strong as it seemed!)The cafe feels as if you are sitting in a Tatooine café (although I guess Star Wars probably got it from Morocco :) )It was fairly full 12:00. The only complaint is the parking -- we couldnt stop inside, but theres parking on the street (a side street, not Atterbury thank good ness).Will go again!

OK.......dissapointed in the food.....my french chicken dish and my daughters lamb targine was nothing to write home about......I cook like this at home......to me it was not very Morrocan.....maybe the decor and the way the staff are dressed.

Review №72

Really overpriced, R340 for 5 TINY dips and a plate full of dry bread as a platter, atmosphere good but service was lacking, had to serve ourselves all our drinks. Dips were plain, and all the food seemed to have been microwaved. Not the flavours one would expect from Morocco.
