Dar Zaki (Restaurant)

Best food experience in Rabat until now purely in terms of taste. Top service and great atmosphere. Cozy. Top interior too. and it is in the Medina. A lot going for this place. Price relatively higher than some other places, but the quantity is more as well - so just order a touch less and share :-) Totally worth it. Tip: Get in early like us (we were there 10 min before opening at 7pm and were done before the place filled up) or reserve a table.

Great culinary experience in Rabat at Dar Zaki. The restaurant offers Moroccan typical cousine, with interesting varieties of tajine and Pastilla. We tried the lamb and aubergine and Chicken and apricots ones. The location indoor is stunning. Prices are slightly above Moroccan restaurant’s average, but with purpose.

Great atmosphere and food. We had the lamb shank and the meatball tagines. Delicious!

Our drivers dropped us off on the other end of the Medina (Old Town) and we navigated through the street maze to get to this restaurant. I did my research before arriving to Rabat about where to get the best foods, and Dar Zaki did not disappoint. The service was unrushed and efficient, the foods were really good. I really enjoyed my Brania (Lamb Tagine with Eggplant Fritters), my wife liked her Vegetarian Pastilla, our friends finished their Chicken Tagine w Preserved Lemons & Olives, Chicken Couscous w Vegetables & Caramelized Onions. The menu does not offer alcohol (which is perfectly fine with us). The prices were reasonable. At the end, the chef-owner Isham walked our group back to the parking area where our drivers were waiting (thank you for your hospitality). If you visit Rabat and want to experience authentic Moroccan cuisine, ensure to reach out to Dar Zaki.

Great traditional restaurant, good value for money (a couple mains were not available but it’s ok), hosts very nice and welcoming

The best meal we had in Rabat! We had the lamb tajine and vegetable couscous, we would definitely recommend them both. The flavours in the lamb dish was so complex and had a lot of depth in it, and the meat itself was so tender. The couscous was so fine and the accompanying sauce very buttery. The service was lovely and it was a very calm atmosphere to escape into away from the souks Definitely would be back again!

Food was very good and the atmosphere was traditional but the only minus was that the waitress had an unpleasant attitude.

Dont understand all the rave reviews here. Our meal was poor. Vegetarian couscous was bland. Boiled vegetables laid on plain cous cous with a few chick peas, no discernible spicing or flavour. Pour on sauce thin oily and tasteless. Surprised that this cost 120 Dirhams. Most couscous uneaten. My Chicken and cashew pastilla was better, moist shredded chicken. No spice or cashew taste however. Pastry crisp, thickly coated in icing sugar and cinnamon. Just Ok. Disappointed.
