Chez Lamine Hadj Mustapha Jemaa El Fna

Tasty Moroccan food, and the famous lamb/mechoui is really good when it’s available. Just note: on Fridays they don’t do the lamb, so you’ll need to choose other options. I’d recommend coming around 2 pm to get good quality meat. The only downside is that it’s not very structured—you first need to find a table, then go order. I made the mistake of ordering first and then struggling to find a place to sit. With a bit more organization, it would be even better.

We were super confused at the ordering format, but it all worked out and the food was awesome! 1 - Get a numbered ticket in front of the chopping station and wait for your number to be called 2 - When it's your turn, go up and tell them how much you want, 0.5kg per person is enough. They give you whatever pieces and weigh it, they put it on a tray with bread and salt seasoning. Prices was 260MAD/kg, pay when you get your tray. 3 - Go into the adjacent restaurant store front to the right and find a table. There are 4 floors and many tables. 4 - When seating, flag down a server and order other accompanying food like salads, fries, drinks, or other entrees. The lamb was awesome, super tender and fatty. The pieces we got were bone + fat + meat + skin, probably 50% of we got wasn't edible (bone and fat), but the edible parts were great. You would expect this, they just chop up the carcass in front of you and you get what you get. The inside of the restaurant was hectic and alive, a great experience. Wash your hands on the 3rd floor.

Unbelievable last meal in Marrakesh. Beautifully soft lamb with really tasty salt on the side. Some of the best food in Marrakesh. Would fully recommend to anyone travelling here. 130 MAD for a huge portion as seen in photos

Like many visitors, I came here because of the great reviews and YouTube videos about Morocco’s famous lamb. I missed it on my first visit as it had sold out, so I came back early the next day. They start serving at 12:00 pm, and it goes very fast—arrive early and be prepared to wait. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the lamb was incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavor. I’m not usually a lamb lover, but this was one of the best I’ve ever had. 20/10 — absolutely worth it and a must-try in Morocco.

Lamb...nice a bit bland, but you can dip the lamb at the powder given. The powder taste salty and have spices... The place a bit crowded and you must come as early as 12pm...we are the first customer hahhaah... The price...ermm is affordable since we share...and will we come again? Ermm nope...just once..

Food is 10 out of 10! If you want to try lamb-go before 1pm. Beef tagine was also the best I have tried in Marrakesh. They have lovely rooftop terrace where you can see olive stalls. However if you are coming in mid day-probably better idea to sit one floor down where is not as hot. Definitely must try place when visiting Marrakesh.

One of reviewers said everything about this place is great except it is not instagram-able :) I beg to differ on the last point. It is a magnificent authentic very tasty example of local street cuisine though having those underground ovens bake whole lambs for hours does not necessarily qualify as fast food. You do not have to wait this long though :) We recommend lamb - with skin and fat and chicken cooked in the clay pot. And olives - to diversify the flavor. Eat this on the roof floor to fully appreciate the scenery around - in the company of guides who brought their tourist charges over and locals. Loved every minute of it both times we were there. Take a picture of the ovens too - makes for a great story to share.

The food is amazing. The lamb is so good that I wish I could go there every day. It's kind of confusing to eat. You have to go to the counter, ask for a peace of meat (pay by kg), pay and only then, enter the restaurant with the tray. Then... Ask for drinks. So it's not the best experience, but the food makes you forget the hustle.
