Our Guestbook
“ We have lived in the area for years and never stopped in but we finally did and I was blown away. We came in on a whim right when they opened at 530pm so we had the entire place to ourselves. We got the Lebanese Pilsner and Moroccan lager for drinks, hummus and pita bread, dolmas, and falafel to start. We split an entree of the couscous royal and finished with baklava and mint tea. Everything was beyond our expectations and the portions were generous. The owner was kind took time to explain the menu and chat with us about the restaurant. We will definitely be back to try their 6 course meal, watch the Belly dancing shows, and drinks at the full bar on Thursdays through Sundays! ”
“ We dropped in for brunch. The atmosphere is really nice, a sitdownonfloor sort of place. They have huge savory crepes and breakfast burritos, very tasty. The hash browns are unusual, both moist and crispy, sort of like onion rings. The coffee is very good, but the mimosas taste of the lowershelf champagne not terrible, but a bit substandard. Its a great experience overall. ”
“ Went here for Brunch on a Saturday morning, great drinks and great food the man serving our drinks was super funny! A great time! Awesome atmosphere! ”
“ There is no where like this place!! One of the best dining experiences Ive ever had. The ambience is amazing! The entire place is stunning visually, especially the seating. Nadir, the owner, is hospitable and funny. The food was amazing best falafel ever!! We had the best time and will definitely go again if we have the chance. Cant recommend enough!! ”
“ We came for the new Brunch and were delighted with our choice! The Turkish coffee was excellent, the food delicious, and the staff were welcoming and fun. I loved the eggs poached in shakshuka, the omelet with hash browns was great for a GF choice, and both the sweet and the savory crepes were hits. I think next time well come for dinner, music and belly dancing! If you want to feel like youre in another world for a little while, this is the place! ”
“ Stopped by today for lunch, and I was amazed. Everything was so good, the food, service and the vibes! Definitely recommend it! First time Moroccan food and loved it. ”
“ This weekend, we had the absolute pleasure of dining at El Morocco for their weekend brunch, and I can confidently say it was the best brunch Ive ever had. The service was flawless, the food was pure perfection, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Im notoriously picky, especially with egg dishes, but every bite was bursting with flavor and flawlessly prepared. They excel in everything from sweet to savory, with a menu so thoughtfully crafted its a guaranteed crowdpleaser. I tried both their coffees, which were rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed, and they were absolutely fantastic. The place itself is gorgeous. It is beautifully decorated with stunning Middle Eastern carpets, lanterns, and cozy seating, making it a very charming and comfortable setting to sit and enjoy a meal. On top of the amazing brunch, they also serve traditional Middle Eastern dishes and offer a wonderful dinner menu every day, which I cant wait to explore further. If you are not into belly dancers, no worries. They do not have them every night, so you can call ahead when making a reservation to confirm. After this visit, I am already planning to become a regular at El Morocco. It is an unforgettable dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone! ”
“ This place was a pleasant surprise in Concord. It was morrocon vibe in bay area minus the hookah. Food tasted excellent. Great tea. I went on a Saturday and there was a belly dance show. We absolutely enjoyed our time. It was a wholesome experience. The service was slow but it was acceptable. As a vegetarian, I had decent options. Would definitely visit again! ”
