La Kasbah des Sables : Restaurant & Lounge

At first glance, the restaurant looks pleasant — even beautiful — especially considering that it is located on a rather quiet, lifeless street. There is a pool, a fireplace, and nicely set tables. Unfortunately, this atmosphere is something you will be enjoying for over an hour while waiting for your food. We were informed right away that the kitchen was “very busy,” even though less than half of the tables were occupied. At first, we were told that there was no tea. We then asked for just hot water, but were told that this was also impossible due to the kitchen being busy. Okay. We ordered a Caesar salad, pasta, and a salmon steak. After 20 minutes, we asked again the staff about the hot water, and suddenly tea became available. The food itself took another 70 minutes to arrive. By that point, we had almost completely lost our appetite. To make matters worse, there was sand in the salad and salmon. We understand that the desert is nearby, but in a restaurant where prices are two or even three times higher than in regular cafés, one would expect food to be genuinely good — or at the very least, free of sand. Overall, this place can only be recommended if you are in no hurry and plan to come just for drinks. I’d like to end quoting our waiter ‘sorry for the time. Please, smile. It’s not the end of the world’

We came here with friends to have dinner. The place is hard to find, but it’s very pretty inside. There is a pool inside the design is brilliant. But the advantages end here. Firstly the waiter told us that the kitchen is busy, without mentioning the estimated time of serving. The restaurant was nearly half busy, so we stayed. There was a problem to get hot drinks - first waiter said that the kitchen is busy, so he can’t serve tea or even hot water. At last agreed to give us hot water with lemon. We’ve been waiting for the dishes more than an hour. My pasta was good, but my friend’s dishes can barely called the same: in the salad was sand, the salmon was overcooked. Nice place if you have plenty of time, or just want to have a few glasses of wine.

La kasbah des sables wow what an incredible experience. This is the best restaurant in Ouarzazate. I came with friends sevral times during our 2 week stay in the city because the food was excellent and the service was 5 star. The lamb chop and steak with puree was fantastic, i think of it often. The wine was great too but nothing can beat the ambiance and interior- it feels like your own magical secret place. Very special and romantic. Samad was the best waiter so kind, happy and attentive. We looked forward to going for lunch and dinner a few times a week. We felt so lucky to have found this restaurant and speak of it often , looking forward to coming back as soon as possible. Please never change a thing. Such warm hospitality

I am so sad that this place doesn’t get any recognition! It is such a gorgeous place, truly a hidden gem. There is a man sat at the door ready to walk you in (may seem like you’re in the wrong place at the beginning due to it being in a low-lit small road) The service is amazing! The waiter is so attentive and cares truly to make the service the best for you. He is by himself, therefore it may be a bit slow, however this isn’t a fast-food restaurant anyway. He made sure we were warm and comfortable the whole time. Super friendly! The food is lovely too. Great portion sizes, gorgeous bowls, great seasoning. Nothing bad to say about it! In regards to the pricing, I think it is very valid for what you get (bare in mind it is higher prices, it isn’t a place for budget meals). The ambiance is top notch. Great music, super relaxing and gorgeous!! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for dinner apart from this restaurant during my stay.

One of the best restaurants in Ouarzazate city, I highly recommend it ❤️ The atmosphere is amazing, very calm and suitable for couples, family and friends. It’s an amazing place to enjoy a calm dinner or to celebrate a special occasion… It makes my heart warm knowing that I can enjoy my meal in peace, the music playlist is worth to mention as it makes the atmosphere more pleasant ❤️ I can recommend the dishes they have to everyone I know, but I wish there will more options to choose from in the future :) I tried Pasta with chicken and mushrooms 🍄 and it was delicious, I also tried grilled meat with vegies, my opinion about it was medium but definitely not bad ❤️❤️ The cheese cake was my best part ever🤭🤭 I absolutely enjoyed every piece of it 🫠 For the service, the guys I interacted with was very professional and kind ❤️ Thank you for making me enjoy and I will definitely be back every time I’m visiting Morocco 🙏🏼🥰 See you soon,

A hidden gem in Ouarzazate - I recommend parking on the Main Street and then walking down the small streets to get there. Will not disappoint! Brilliant local and “foreign” cuisine. The decoration and style was beautiful and service great - highly recommend to anyone stopping through the area

We chose this based on some other people's reviews and photographs and were delighted with what we found. The restaurant is at the end of a very nondescript street but as you step inside you're in a beautiful setting which is done just right. The quality of the dishes we ordered were of a high standard and generous. Tables are placed well apart so you can have a discrete conversation and not be bothered by other guests. A good price for the quality of the food we were served.

I had the most amazing time here. The food, the service and atmosphere were all 10/10. I definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for good food and amazing vibes
