We went there for a light lunch today, purely by chance, and were completely blown away by how good it was! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly and courteous. We sat outside as it was a glorious day but I took a look inside. It's exquisite! The decor is authentic and beautiful. Can't wait to go back for dinner!
Took my wife for our anniversary and had a delightful experience. We were seated in a small nook downstairs, very cosy and private. The food was amazing, the service brilliant, the atmosphere lovely, and the cost was very reasonable. I'd recommend the house red too ��
The tapas my wife and I shared was probably some of the best we've ever had. Perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We will be returning.
Thanks for an amazing meal as always for my birthday on the 11th. All 10 of us were 100% happy with all the food, drinks and service . Everything I expected judging on many previous experiences. I will keep coming back again and again. Highly recommend
Stopped by this evening with a friend who had previously visited. Amazing food, great staff, and the basement restaurant area is perfect in candle-light. Will definitely stop by for tapas next time i'm in town :)
Thanks guys, I really enjoyed the evening!
Lovely tasting food and a good variety, exerlent surroundings, very helpful staff and a great price will defiantly recommend this restaurant to all my family & friends!!
Lovely restaurant with great food and good service! Friendly staff who went above and beyond to make sure my friends and I had a great party!
Lovely place and staff the atmosphere is great. Would recommend the haloumi couscous and sticky date cake
Love this restaurant, this was my third visit over a few years and it has been consistently good. The decor is fantastic with the Moroccan theme even extending into the Ladies. The food is delicious and perfectly cooked. The waitress recommended a really nice wine and gave us just the right amount of attention without being intrusive. The only slight criticism would be the low chairs - maybe they could do with a firm cushion.
If you ever find yourself in Canterbury, or you live there, then this place is a must. The menu is amazing- I had the belly pork and it was a massive portion, cooked to perfection. The staff are really friendly and the decour is lovely, fitting a to the Moroccan theme. Just go - you won't regret it.
Great service and incredibly tasty food!! We live a good hour away but will happily travel again to experience the authentic tapas �
Fabulous service and fabulous food!!! Have been a few times and would give it 5/5 every time! Only ate their today and already can’t wait to come back!
Been for dinner several times and love this place and the food - finally made it to the lunchtime tapas menu and had the seafood sharing platter. Totally outstanding! Hubby and I shared the baklava and sticky date cake for dessert 😋! Friendly staff and great ambience. Will definitely return again and again (and again...)
The ambience is great; the staff especially cordial and good at what they do; the food is very enjoyable but the bill hurts somewhat. The £5.95 a small bottle for the beer (admittedly there are others slightly cheaper) is simply excessive. The tapa starters are very good indeed but a tad meagre in quality (how much does it cost to fry a few potatoes) and for £15 I expect more than three king prawns in a salmon and king prawn tagine. If you can easily get over the cost factor and a feeling of being exploited, then you really will enjoy this place.
Beautiful .....great food, atmosphere, service & price....seafood platter for 2 £16.95.
The restaurant has a real authentic feel with great features, lovely for a meal for 2 or for groups & family, a real find in Canterbury, well worth a visit
Very disappointing to order deliveroo and to pay £48 for 7 tiny portions of tapas. 3 bare tiny dry sausages were the worst. I ve eaten there often and 7 tapas proved enough for 3 people however today we were shocked at the half sizes and how much it cost just to basically get a taster. I would not be using CM again for deliveries.
I've been there several times because it's always been so good. I recommended it to friends, and although the service was great, the food wasn't up to its usual standard. I was embarrassed and hope that it was just a one-off.
I would not recommend this place the prices are very expensive for the portion sizes. The food was ok but paying £7 for three tiny bits of squid on a skewer is a complete rip off, same with the prawns they was very small and only a few. I had a main with this meal and spending over £50 would not go back here again, I was still hungry so went round the corner to Waga mama where the service was good and the food was excellent.
the owner doesn't observe any legal provisions on the staff, doesn't give any suitable food or drink, the food that she gives to her customers is 3-5 and sometimes more days, doesn't distribute correctly the tips given by the customers for the staff, she looking only after herself,not after customers or staff
