Blue Fez

Love Blue Fez! My family organized a birthday party for me here with about 20 people. Fantastic Moroccan food: grape leaves, grilled chicken with delicious vegetarian couscous, fresh Mediterranean salad, bread and hummus... all delicious. Just as important, the staff were friendly and flexible--- we had some late arrivals, and they just accommodated everyone. The restaurant itself is lovely inside. A special thanks to our delightful server, Sydney, and to Tori who was so helpful in organizing it.

Wow! Blue Fez delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We started with what may be the best hummus we’ve ever had—so flavorful. The Mediterranean salad was perfectly dressed, light and bursting with flavor. The highlight was the falafel couscous, served with an exquisite saffron broth that added just the right amount of richness. We were too full to enjoy dessert on-site, but the mango mousse cake we took home was simply divine. From start to finish, this was a five-star meal, and we can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

Amazing flavors, great service and I cannot wait to go again. We shared 3 appetizers and one entree. The falafel on a bed of hummus with harissa was the best I’ve ever had. The mussels (out of the shell) were in a spicy tomato sauce that was perfect and plentiful. I do think the saffron shrimp could have been more flavorful. The final item was the chicken couscous. While the chicken was a tad overcooked, the flavors and spices were outstanding. I look forward to returning often.

This is a beautiful restaurant that authentically recreates the aesthetic of Morocco. It's lovely to sit there and the wait stuff was a lot of pleasant fun. Great atmosphere. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because we were about the only guests in the restaurant and somehow got a still-frozen piece of lamb in our otherwise delicious tagine. Given that the restaurant isn't cheap, I don't think this is acceptable. I plan to give it another chance and will update this review if things go better next time.

I had a fantastic experience at this Moroccan restaurant! From the warm ambiance to the authentic flavors, everything was wonderful. The dishes were rich in flavor and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy an authentic Moroccan dining experience!

I don’t even know where to begin or how to explain how astronomically mouthwatering the food is here… This was my first time coming it was myself and my boyfriend. We live in Salem and we had no idea that this gem was hidden here… The atmosphere is so stunning the beautiful Moroccan pieces on the walls and the curtains. The server Sydney was also just so effortlessly perfect at her job. I got an espresso martini and I can say it’s probably one of the best ones in the North Shore and I’m not even kidding you…. My boyfriend got a passionfruit Mojito and he was absolutely obsessed.. We didn’t expect much because we had never heard of this place but Lord, were we wrong. For an appetizer, we got the mosaic platter and it gave us a little taste of everything. For dinner, we shared the special they had for the night, a seafood paella. For dessert, we got the crêpes.. I already want to go back. This is definitely a place to check out if you love ethnic foods and really good High-quality drinks in Salem…

I can’t recommend this place more! Every single item we ordered was delicious! The music and the decor created such a nice ambience. Our server, Sydney, was so sweet. We came here for my moms birthday and it did not disappoint! We all had a great time and loved the food! I can’t wait to come back!

Blue Fez was just simply superb! We were here for an early dinner just after Blue Fez opened. The staff was very welcoming and the server helpful and attentive. The octopus appetizer was about the best I ever tasted and the accompanying humus and veggies were flavorful and added a good contrast. The other two main dishes we had were different, but great in their own way. Both featured a lamb shank that was tender and flavorful with couscous and a mix of vegetables. One was delicately flavored with saffron and the other was complex; both savory and sweet-ish at the same time with cumin, cardamom and coriander. Cost was modest for such fine fare.

Amazing food and people watching . Tho we were only there for lunch during high season of October , the food , service , drinks and people watching were a home run ! I'll be back just for the lamb wrap and lentil soup

This was the first time in ages we had been to Salem and during fall season. Lovely spot in downtown area and cozy interiors and ambience . We went on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was short staffed, but they did their best to get to all tables as fast as the way could. We started with the falafel and eggplant zaalouk. Falafel was a bit oily for me but tasty and the eggplant tapas was delicious. I wish they served it with pita bread in the side vs two tiny toasted ones. We are not huge eaters so always end up sharing the entree between me and my husband so we ordered the Tagine Marrakech with couscous. It was plenty for us and delicious. Just wished it was a bit more hot(temp wise) as it was a chilly night. Finished it with a dessert of Moroccan puréed dates with ice cream. It was more than enough for two and just the right amount of sweet for us ! Loved it! Really nice spot in Salem and I wish we had something like this closer to home .

Delicious food and drinks. The couscous royal with lamb shank was amazing, as was the strawberry ice cream. Highly recommend!

Lovey decor, friendly staff & absolutely delicious Moroccan food. The wrap was perfectly toasted will grilled chunks of tender, flavorful chicken breast , hummus, olives & feta. The Mediterranean pizza, which my hubby who does not love fish did modify to remove anchovies) also did not disappoint with its olive and onion goodness. The appetizer that we got was the hummus's , which was absolutely delicious and the cucumbers not to gush or some of the freshest in the flavorful Persian cucumbers I've ever had.

Great restaurant in the heart of Salem. It was not busy during a weeknight and the waiter was very helpful. There is nice art work on the walls and traditional music playing. I ordered the mint tea which was not on the menu to share with my table. It came out in a pretty silver pot and had enough for at least 4-5 cups of tea. I ordered the lamb shank tagine which was delicious. Very tender and flavorful. The couscous under it was also very tasty. The portions are very generous and I surely could have split with another person.

Joined a few friends here on Saturday night. We opted to start with the Mosaik platter, a delightful sampling of all their apps. From the hummus to the beets and grape leaves, everything was seasoned and prepared to perfection. At the suggestion of our server, we also got an order of meatballs; these were tender and seasoned just right. Knowing we were saving room for dessert, we opted for the Lamb shank with couscous across the table. The lamb was so tender and juicy, the couscous so huge and, dare I say, fluffy! There were roasted carrots and, much to my delight, parsnips as well. For dessert, we chose the pistachio mouse cake and the Morrocan crepes. Beautifully plated! The pistachio really didn't have much mousse, but the cake was very good. The crepes were fried and drizzled with honey and nuts; so fricking yummy! Service was impeccable as well! Can't wait to come back!

Super fast service, delicious food. We shared the Mosaic Platter as a starter and it had a good variety of delicious nibbles. Next time I'll ask for extra pita!

After trying Moroccan food on a trip abroad, we were SO excited to find a local spot that makes authentic (and awesome) Moroccan food so close to home! Blue Fez is a cute little spot in Salem with cozy ambiance and phenomenal service. They have a very extensive menu with tons of vegetarian-friendly options and a variety of items from recognizable to adventurous. We ordered some appetizers, tagines, and even indulged in their pistachio cake (get it - trust me!). Everything was incredibly good. We can't wait to come back soon!

The staff were attentive and nice, so that was a plus. We ordered shakshouka, which was described as having a 'poached' egg; this egg was STEAMING hot and the yolk was fully cooked through (see: nowhere near poached). Very obviously microwaved. Main course was fine, decent flavors but the couscous was somehow undercooked and also tasted like it was reheated/old. Absurdly overpriced relative to what they're serving, felt like this restaurant has given up but maybe coasts on location in a tourist town? Trying to offer real constructive criticism without sounding petty - this experience really bummed me out and made me want to take a break from dining out.

The owner puts a lot of love into his dishes and it shows. This restaurant is quaint and you won't go wrong with anything in the menu. The hummus was super fresh and our braised lamb shank was falling off the bone tender.

Excellent food (particularly the tagine and homemade bread with dipping oil) and very friendly service. It was nice to sit in the window, people watch, eat, and chat with the servers about local points of interest. I would return!

Amazing! We just went to Morocco this April and the only difference was they use Israeli couscous which is a big bigger. Delish Everything was fabulous 5 stars

FANTASTIC FOOD!! We had a party of 6 the service was awesome but the food was soo delicious! We started off with the mosaic platter, artichokes & muscles everything was super flavorful. We shared a few dishes the shrimp tagine, lamb and eggplant, chicken curry we recommend them all!! We finished up with the date dessert and the crepes! That date dessert was epic!! We will be back again and again!!

Luckily, the food is amazing, even though the service is middling at best. In our group, two of us had the spicy salmon (one with couscous and one with rice), one of us had the chicken curry with rice, and one of us had the paella. We shared the dolmas and an order of hummus. Everything was delicious and the plates were huge. Unfortunately, the service was very slow even though the dining room was only half full. Be prepared for the high prices. The cost is worth it for the amazing food, but leave yourself plenty of time to enjoy it.

The bread was warm and fresh and so good. The food was very delicious and flavorful, although the chicken in my curry was a little hard to cut. Very cute place to visit while in salem, and our waitress was super nice!

Just had one of the best meals and had to share. I went to Blue Fez in Salem right after it opened and it was really good. Haven't been there for a few years so decided to check it out again. My husband and I went to check it out tonight and have to say it was so good. Our server Danielle was awesome. She's very knowledgeable and super friendly and was one of those people that makes you feel like family. She had a couple of specials, and then she mentioned a chefs tasting menu, it was $50 per person. We spent some time thinking about it and looking at the menu and decided to do the tasting menu. Definitely not disappointed! We started with lentil soup. Then a shared appetizer plate that had bread, beets, carrots, hummus, eggplant, roaster peppers, artichokes and grape leaves. Then we had falafel with hummus and harissa, couscous with vegetables, beef with figs, and some other fruits and veggies, chicken with rice and lentils. We also had a dessert that was like a bakalava with a nut mixture with honey whipped in phyllo dough with honey on a plate with chocolate drizzle and whipped cream. I cannot wait to get over being so full to go back again. I will say that a few of the things that were served are things that I don't normally eat but they were amazing!! Cannot say how good this was! Forgot to take a pic of dessert!

10/10 service from Danielle and 100/10 quality for the food! Despite it being busy season, we were well attended to and had a lovely experience for our last meal on our trip. PS Hope you ladies enjoyed Nashville!!

The food is phenomenal. We got a couple of tapas and an entree to share. Everything tasted great! The bread is so good, and my favorite was the eggplant zaalouk. The restaurant is very clean with nice decor. There's a fair amount of seats. Also, I would really like to thank all the staff for their kindness and patience- we had a slightly fussy baby with us and we were trying our best to keep from being too annoying.

Was able to make a reservation through their website several hours before the time we chose. We showed up and were told the kitchen was closed & dinner service was over. When scheduling the reservation, they offer times until 10 PM, but they close the kitchen at 8 PM. ???

My husband and I were looking for somewhere that had good Dolmades and stumbled across the Blue Fez. When we arrived we were sat immediately with very quick and friendly service. The resteraunt was almost empty, which was a bit strange to me, but I grew up in a busy tourist town, so I figured it wasn't anything. The one-star google reviews scared me a little bit, but we decided to keep on and order our food. It was very good. The dolmades were delicious. The salad was amazing, as well as the oyster entree that my husband ordered. The outside seating was beautiful and well lit. If we are in the area again, we will be back for sure.

I won a gift certificate for this restaurant in a local Salem raffle (specific details of charity and raffle not listed because I do not want them to be blamed). Because of the gift certificate, my boyfriend, sister, and roommate decided to go to Blue Fez for dinner on Sunday, July 3rd after a day of moving apartments. I was excited because I thought I'd be able to at least pay for my meal and my sister's meal (as repayment for helping me move). We were also very excited for the drinks as they've been great in the past, as well as the delicious complimentary bread we've received before. We arrive and there's one or two other diners there. Despite high-class establishment pricing, there is not a high-class establishment ambience. Music was not playing-- instead, they were playing a photo slideshow on a tv screen. At first, they're showing pictures of the food, but the slideshow devolves into something far more strange later in the meal... but I'll get to that in time. Shortly after we're seated, we're informed that they don't have a bartender that night (really? On a holiday weekend where most people have the next day off?) so none of the drinks that we looked forward to. We decide that we'll go ahead and stay anyway. I inform them that I won a gift card from a local Salem charity raffle (I specify to them which one and give details). The gift card was valued at $25 at minimum by the raffle, but whoever made the gift certificate had put a smiley face and a question mark at the value on the certificate itself. Seems promising! I gave it to our server and asked if we could be informed of the value. We look at the menu and decide what we'd like. Server comes back and says that she's having trouble with the gift certificate-- she can't find it in their system. She asks if I'd like for her to call the manager. I let her know that I would like that. We figure that it will be sorted out since it's very obviously not a fraudulent gift certificate and we go ahead and order anyway. We essentially wanted to know the value so we could figure out if we should get wine or something too, but were all planning on getting meals regardless. She comes back and tells us that she called the manager but doesn't propose any solutions. I ask if there's anything she can do/ask them to figure out what's going on with the certificate. She agrees and leaves again. Now we've been sitting there for a while, still no music, no bread (guess they stopped doing that?), lots of gift certificate confusion. After a long while, she comes back and tells me that there's nothing they can do. I'll just have to come back again when the manager is there. She has me write down my number and give it to them so they can call me when the manager is in. Well that sucks, but we've ordered food... like half an hour ago so we're eating here I guess. Then someone comes out with our food! Nice, we're hungry, we want to eat, and we want to leave and forget about this horrible experience. But it's not our food, it's the complimentary bread... being given to us literally half an hour after seating. One very small round of bread for four people. At least the nibbles we all got were really good. Eventually the food comes out and it's underwhelming to say the least. Grossly overpriced and gross, to say more accurately. My boyfriend ordered a duck dish that was quite expensive, and it was so excessively fatty that he couldn't eat most of it. My dish was edible, but very bitter and unimpressive. My sister and roommate didn't have anything to say about their meals (because if you don't have anything nice to say...). Now to the crowning glory of this experience... the progression of the slideshow. Started off innocently enough with photos of their dishes, but devolved into memes. Really, really weird boomer memes. The climax of the evening was when a meme appeared depicting a nude cartoon boy standing on a nude cartoon girl's head as they attempt to have sex. Or was the climax the old man bathing in a forklift? Meanwhile my boyfriend is attempting to suffer through an inedible duck dish at a premium price. This place ain't right. Oh, and nearly half a year later, I don't think the manager has been in because they have yet to call me/leave a message.

Amazing drinks , servers every time I have been here have been amazing and friendly ! Sydney the bartender/waitress goes out of her way to make people feel recognized and feel comfortable ! Grape leaves are my favorite !

Beautiful restaurant. Servers were all warm and kind taking care in recommendations. The food here is amazing, so much developed flavor with amazing spices and depth in the dishes. You can tell everything is made with love. Do yourself a favor and grab an authentic Moroccan dinner in this wonderful place.

First time coming with my friend. I've only had a limited amount of Mediterranean food so I wanted to expand my palate. For appetizers, we shared a lentil soup, blue fez salad and falafels. I loved loved the lentil soup, delicious and simple. The falafels were nice and crispy with a fresh hummus. The blue fez salad had a strong citrus flavor with every bite better than the last. My entree was the shrimp tagine with couscous and my friend got the refissa. The shrimp had taken on a beautiful color and the entire dish tasted perfect. When I heated up the leftovers it was just as good. I tried my friends dish and also loved the hearty lentil taste. Pita is served at the bottom of the bowl but our server kindly suggested to have it on the side to dip which was also great. As our dessert, we decided on the mango mousse cake and were not disappointed. It was light and not overly sweet. Very straightforward and satisfying. Overall, great experience and will definitely bring more friends and family. Wonderful local establishment especially given the price!

Just an excellent, well prepared meal. We went early before things got more hectic. We had an excellent Salem State waitress..attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant looks nice and conversation was easy because it wasn't yet crowded. We were served another table's appetizer... we thought it was a tasting dish, but fortunately we asked. The portions were large. I'd rather have had less at a slightly lower price point. Excellent sangria.....

Went to Blue Fez with some friends today. Really enjoyed my vegetarian couscous dish and our hummus appetizer. The food was very favorable, and the service and ambience were great too. Really enjoyed it there. Loved the decor too. Will be back

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. IGNORE THE FAKE 5-STAR REVIEWS. I made the mistake of trusting them, and I deeply regret it. My wife, her mom, and I all got sick after eating here. The food was disgusting and far from fresh. The couscous was watery with a half-filled bone, and the tagine was just as bad: watery with a tasteless, boiled piece of chicken. It was inedible. When we complained, the waitress admitted it was her second day and had no idea what the food should look or taste like. We paid out of pity for the staff and bolted. This place is an insult to Moroccan cuisine--there's nothing Moroccan about it except for the cheap, broken decor. STAY AWAY. And those loads of 5-star reviews mixed with a bunch of 1-stars? Totally fake. Don't fall for it!

Excellent!!! You have to try this restaurant. Food is amazing. Hidden in a corner of a plaza on Washington St. you would not know it was there. Do not pass it by. Have been here twice and have not been disappointed!

Yikes! Dinner started out with a lentil soup so blindingly salty that I nearly spit out my first spoonful. I should've just sent it back, but I figured I'd tough it out, assuming the following courses would be better. Unfortunately, they were not. The bastilla was at least warm and crispy on the outside - parts of the chicken inside felt nearly frozen. It was also very small... given its quality this was perhaps a good thing! That said, it absolutely didn't seem worth $16. The Moroccan Tagine managed to be both bland and too salty at once. (The dried prunes, figs, and apricots were nearly inedibly salty and sour, while the lamb was bland. The taste overall was unpleasant.) In general, I love Moroccan food. The restaurant was clean, and the waitress was lovely and attentive. I don't mind lacking service, though, if the food is excellent. In this situation, good service couldn't make up for extremely disappointing food.

Our party of four made an early reservation for a new Moroccan restaurant in Salem called Blue Fez. We came to like Moroccan food during a trip through Tangier, Rabat and Casablanca, and were anxious to check out this restaurant. It's located in downtown Salem, near the Bewitched sculpture. They have numerous seating choices including alfresco dining, or you can dine at the bar, at the high-top tables near the front windows or the more intimate dining room in the back of the restaurant. We found it to be a very pleasant, clean and attractive venue. We ordered the Hummus as a starter, which was more than enough for four people. They hummus was very tasty, creamy with garlic, lemon juice and oil. We consumed all of it with the accompanying pita, and with the remaining warm and crusty bread Blue Fez provides once seated. Three out of four diners ordered the Lamb Tagine for dinner, which according to our server, was delicious. And one diner ordered the Salmon Mogador, pan roasted with red peppers, brussel sprouts, raisins, zucchini and carrots. They thought it was delicious. The Lamb Tagine is a braised lamb shank with dried apricots and prunes in a tasty sweet sauce. I thought it was excellent, eating the entirety of this substantial meal. The couscous was delicious, large Israeli couscous which was tasty and had a great texture. When in Morocco, many restaurants offered pigeon dishes including pigeon soup, which I did try and did in fact enjoy. I asked if they were going add a traditional pigeon dish to the menu, the answer was - not likely! Service was outstanding throughout our meal, our attentive and polite server always made sure our water glasses were full and the dinner was to our linking. Polling our party for their Yelp votes, we found two 4's and two 5's on this particular evening. As the service was excellent, we're rounding up to a 5-star dining experience.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and they answered all our questions about the food that we were unfamiliar with. The hummus from the hummus appetizer was delicious and tasted very fresh and well seasoned. The pitas were tasty and very fluffy. Being a pita and hummus critic I was very pleasantly surprised. The complementary bread tasted just as good. The olive oil dip that came with it was very flavorful and went great with the bread and the pita. The host suggested the Moroccan Tagine. Niether me nor my girlfriend had tagine before. The waiter suggested we share the plate as it is quite large. He was right! After the appetizer we had just enough room to split the tagine. The meat was perfectly cooked and though I'm not usually a fan of prunes or figs, they went perfectly with the lamb and rice and I couldn't stop eating them along with the apricots. My girlfriend and I were fighting for the last bites. The service was excellent and the food came out quickly after ordering. We ate outside and it was a very nice atmosphere in the courtyard. The inside of the restaurant has a very nice vibe to it as well, and they have very clean bathrooms. The restaurant was a bit hidden behind the other restaurants in the courtyard so it was hard to notice at first.

Do not sleep on this place! The food was incredible! I had never had Moroccan food before and, this was my first time trying it. It was so flavorful and fresh! Our Server was absolutely outstanding! Extremely kind and helpful with all my questions and, she gave excellent suggestions! I wish I could remember her name so I could give her a shout out. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. Great Ambience! We will absolutely be returning when we are in the area!

Ok, so EVERYTHING we had here was 10 out of 10. And everything was impressive; not just good. The service was so fun to talk to. And the food is so fresh, full of flavor, and presentation is good. The bread is so fresh. The pistachio dessert is a must. And the mosaic sampler is huge and so so good. Just go here; you will love it!

Outstanding! I have been to the Middle East and North Africa. Blue Fez's food is authentic as anything I have tasted. I will go back frequently.

This place was splendid. Whenever I see the lamb shank on the menu, I always order the lamb shank! This was flavorful, tender and paired nicely with the apricots and figs. To be honest I don't like fruit with my meat too much but it was tasty and it was even BETTER as left over!! The meat marinated in the sauce more and became even more tender. The cous cous was great and I loved the large pieces. Plenty for 2 meals for myself. Delicious

Great place to try in Salem! This was our first time trying Moroccan food so we didn't know what to get but our waitress was very helpful and she kept on checking on us to make sure we are doing ok. The place was very close to a favorite pizza place so you kind of need to pay attention to see it The decor was very nice, if it was a little warmer we would have sit outside but inside was very nice too. Highly recommended!

This is Rick's Cafe without Major Strasser and with better food. We first had the Mosaic appetizer which is all the small mezes-perfectly done: beets, potatoes, hummus, eggplant, lightly grilled flatbread. Excellent. We ate every bite. We mostly ordered from the Tapas menu: the chicken, the salmon, falafel, moroccan meatballs, and the spinach and cheese filo rolls, quick fried--SOO GOOD, all of it. They have a wonderfully light and creative dip of pureed dates, almonds, and coconut that tastes like chocolate for dessert. We love this place, can't wait to go back. We came early, got to know the owner (if you speak French, that's a help), and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. This is a gem that, thankfully, has nothing to do with the Halloween fetish that has throttled Salem. I've eaten across Turkey and North Africa, and this restaurant would fit in nicely in Casablanca, Algiers, or even Marseilles. Great dining experience and really, not expensive for what you get.

I've been here a couple times and the food has always blown me away! Service is nice although can be a little slow, which has never been much of an issue. I hope more people give this place a try! It's honestly such a good option for October because it's not very busy. I think possibly because it doesn't look like it's open.

Best Mediterranean around. Chef is legit from Casablanca. Server, Mike, was the best! - Amazing, coming here OFTEN! Food, service, ambiance, value and restrooms all on point.

We happened to find ourselves in this restaurant without planning ahead. What a great find! Moroccan/Middle East/ Mediterranean ... I felt they represented all of those cuisines extremely well on their menu. I started with the lentil soup, good.. could have used a touch more seasoning. Also had the Marrakech Salad, beet/chic pea/feta salad which was fantastic - a great combination, clean flavors, simple - embracing the idea of let the ingredients do the talking. Onion garnish was cut way too thick, happened to get the very end of the onion with the core still present.Also used Spanish onion not red as menu states and could have used a greater punch of fresh herbs, but other than that I enjoyed it. My wife had the Mosaic Plate, also very good. Loved the eggplant, houmus, beets, carrots, etc... grape leaves were served warm and would have been better with a avgolemono sauce. Our server Danielle, was amazing as she floated through the dining room as if on skates attending to every table. I look forward to returning to sample many of the star entrees on the menu especially the tagines.

Strong cocktails, which I appreciate lol. Amazing customer service, shout out to Danielle and Loubna! Love this place

Unfortunately we don't have any photos of the food to share because we were so excited to eat! We ordered the couscous with chicken which was light and flavorful. It was perfectly charred and tender. We also split the hummus and falafel plate which were both appetizers. Oh my god, the falafel! So good. Definitely order this when you go. Herbaceous, crunchy, and flavorful... I could go on all day. I wish I had 10 more to eat. The hummus also was fresh and paired wonderfully with everything we ate. Drinks were also well prepared and unique. On a hot day in Salem, the Moroccan Lover Martini and Blue Fez Martini were refreshing. We sat outside and the service was just as good as the food. Our waters were never empty and the staff ensured we were accommodated and comfortable. What are you waiting for? Go get a falafel!

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT -- The manager Pegro is rude and inappropriate. Our dinner order was as not as described as the website yet he wanted to say the order site was wrong, and that's not their fault. He was argumentative and then when I asked for a refund he told me to drive back and return the food to get one. After I said that's not going to happen he said he would give me a refund then continued to argue and then in the background thinking he had me on hold, said "what a f*cking cunt." When he came back on the line I asked him the name of his boss and he just kept talking over me ignored me and then hung up. DISGUSTING treatment of customers, women in particular. FYI - the steak frites didn't come with fries and the sultan meshoui didn't have vegetables. The manager kept saying their menu didn't include those. See photos of their menu. Terrible.

Great visit tonight! We've been here a few times and it's always excellent. Tonight hubs and I got vegetarian entrees and both were very good. Vegetarians take note: you will not be stuck having yet another salad. The veggie main dishes here are incredible. I got the paella and loved it. My glass of rose wine was perfect and our server was very sweet. Overall fantastic.

This is by far the best place we've ever eaten in Salem! Terrific variety of unique middle Eastern food, outstanding service, and convenient.

I came here twice in one week, hence all the food pics! All of the dishes were impeccable from presentation to flavour. Duck: succulent with sauteed mushrooms. Lamb: soft and savory no matter the pairing. Salmon: juicy with a nice broil on the outside. Veggie Appetizer: very fresh hommous, grilled babaganoush and bread. The dessert trio was the perfect ending. It's worth mentioning that it has recently opened and I hope some of these items stay on the menu. That being said, I'm also excited to see future creations. Service with a smile, continue the great work chef and staff!

Had a very nice dinner there recently. Staff was kind and courteous. Had the Moroccan salad and then we split the steak frites but ordered veggies instead (keto) and it was all delicious

Absolutely delicious food. I'd never had Moroccan food before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The meats were tender and the seasoning was perfect. The drinks and dessert were also delicious, and I highly recommend the Harsh Snow (rum and passion fruit drink) as well as the coconut figs. Oh and the waiter was very attentive!
