It was great to find somewhere in Wellington that could cater for an early dinner for a walk in – no reservation. Whilst the decor whisked you back to Morocco the incense was overpowering and the music in the back ground repetitive and high pitched.

The food was okay, the chicken special dry, lashings of sauce did lots for reducing the dryness. My chicken kebab was unforgiving as it came with no sauce and as a result there was nothing to pull the couscous and chicken together and the result was bland and dry. Husband had to deal with me dipping my chicken in his sauce. Yes I could of paid $2 for sauce but the whole idea of going to a restaurant is the plate of food they set before you is meant to be balanced with taste sensation and texture. I should not have to 2nd guess the chef by adding sauces to his dish to compensate for his lack of skill in providing a complete meal.

Service was by a gentle spoken man that was eager to clear our plates away even though we were the only guest eating.

We made a judgment to have sweets and coffee elsewhere as we were not confident they could pull it off.

Marrakesh is definitely my favourite cafe/restaurant in Wellington. It has a great varied menu and I have never had something I haven’t loved. The prices are reasonable too. You’ve gotta try it!

The food and the service is excellent each time I dine there. I highly recommend it ^_^

Excellent food!!! Traditional Moroccan cousin. Lovely atmosphere. Nice service and friendly faces. None of the dishes I tasted there disappointed me! And the mint tea …. another triumph. Highly recommended

Fantastic Moroccan food served with wonderful hospitality. They have a few Western options like burger, creme brulee, their breakfast menu and espresso coffee. Their speciality is targines but they also serve cous cous, pies and burgers. Vegetarian, fish, poulty, beef and lamb meals are available.

We go every week, it is so good! Even if you don’t need a meal, pop in for an espresso or a moroccan coffee and bakhlava.
