Amazing Marrakesh Moroccan restaurant, Seattle. It is an amazing experience. The food, the service and atmospher were great. We were 10 people having birthday party. We were seated in a tinty like atmospher. We believed that we were removed from Seattle to a different place. We took the 5 course meal and that was worth it. The soup, the salad, the Bastila Royale, the variety of main courses were amazing, and the desert and mint tea was a good finish. Don't forget the hand washing before and after the meal. At the end the price was so reasonable for the amount food and the royale service we got. It is worth every penny.

The service was outstanding, I recommend this place to all my friends and we are planning to come back soon for another gathering. I heard so many good things about Marrakesh Restaurant. Now I know why. It is great. See you there.

Please don't waiste your money. There are too many good restaurants in Seattle to waste upwards of $25-35 a person and at least 3 hours of your time at this place. I went with a group of 8 on a friday night. We got there just after 7:30 and didn't escape until after 10:00. Now, I've had and enjoyed leisurely restaurant meals before, but there was nothing leisurely about this. This was just painfully slow, inattentive service. And the restaurant was only half-full, so no excuse there.

The manager came out with the hard sell to get the fixed menu family-style instead of individual entrees. His used-car salesman style of persuasion was the first hint that it was a rip-off, and so it was! The food was completely bland. Is it still Moroccan if there aren't any spices in it? The vegetarian option - couscous with veggies - sounded OK, but actually consisted of one plate (split between two people) of unseasoned couscous, flavorless blanched carrot, and some glue-y discs that were supposed to be zucchini. My meat-eating companion wasn't impressed with his dish either.

We waited at least 45 minutes after dinner for the dessert. In fact, two of the people in our group had to leave before dessert arrived - but rest assured, we didn't get their portions although we did pay for them. We received a baklava for my birthday and it tasted exactly like bad grocery-store baklava: dry and cold.

God only knows how long it took to actually get the check. We asked for it, but it never appeared, and a couple of us were already late to meet some other people, so we threw down a sickening amount of money and left our friends to deal.

I don't know if they prey on people who've never had Moroccan before, or maybe it's all about belly-dancing, but please, go somewhere else for your own sake.

unbelievable place in seattle. After searching for a place to host my saturday night birthday party we settled for Marrakesh Moroccan restaurant because of a delicious sounding menu, nice looking location and very reasonable event prices. We were sitted in the back room. And my gosh!!! You don't even believe you are still in seattle. The place will take you to thousand and one night. Sitting under a tent, cushions on the floor, low light and an amazing belly dancer, made this place look like we were really in North Africa. Our waiter was very very friendly and handled our large party with grace. The food was delicious (especially the powder sugar chicken). I had a great party night here and highly recommend Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant:)

HUGE dissapointment. Went with a large group -- waited half an hour for menus and an hour for drinks. The service was so bad it was almost funny. The food was not great -- everything basically tasted like it was drowned in the same sickly sweet sauce.Very very bad customer service

An Amazing Culinary Experience!. My best friend and I ate at Marrakesh while I was in visting her from Texas. We were nervous at first about what to expect, but were absolutely blown away by the atmosphere, food, entertainment, and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone that is up for a delicious and delightful cultural experience!
