Lovely relaxing atmosphere we went early so we were the only ones there. The food is amazing there is two women who cook a morrocan lady and Tunisian they cook the Libyan food really well. Reminded me of home. I believe the menu changes and they have an ipad with pictures if your not sure what to choose. The staff are friendly and chatty and give you time alone which I found to be a lovely balance. The decor is lovely with pictures of Libya. I wish they had more sweets like maghrood. Or other things I remember as a child such as sahleb etc. Definitely recommending this to friends and I will be coming back a lot. I added a pic of the menu as I haven't seen any pics of the menu anywhere.

Honestly, after traveling around Morocco, and also having friends of Libyan descent I was so looking forward to trying the food. Ive had bakbaka before but thought it would have been better here. Soup was good, the bakbaka needed more sauce and flavor, it was more of just a regular pasta in sauce than the traditional Libyan dish. Octopus couscous was okay, the couscous was good but octopus very rubbery. Service was extremely slow, but honestly I felt bad because they seemed very understaffed especially in the kitchen and the workers were really nice. Hopefully they can improve in the future and the restaurant will be better

Came here with friends for shisha and desserts.
Everything was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was very nice and chill, in a very nice area. We sat outside but staff was attentive and ensured we were sufficiently heated and warm. The baklava we tried was super amazing, and the mint tea here was flavourful and just what we needed on a cold night and after a heavy meal.
The icing on the cake for our experience here was our interaction with the staff and the owner, Khalid! Very pleasant people to deal with and definitely made our night. You can tell they put their all into their service. Will definitely be back :)

Chicken tagine was divine. Full of flavour, tender and juicy. My friend got the lamb which was also great! Highly recommend this place.

Delicious food in a very relaxed environment. The staff were friendly and checked on me to make sure I was enjoying my dish. I got the Libyan pasta with lamb called Imbakbaka (it is spelled slightly differently on the menu).
