Marrakech Restaurant

We received lovely warm welcome on entry to Marrakech and decided to go for one of the tables in its own alcove with the lovely decorated screens.

The restaurant doesnt have a drinks licence yet so take your own bottle of wine for which you'l pay £1.50 per bottle corkage.

The menu is quite extensive and it was very difficult choosing which of the delicious dishes to go for. After we'd ordered our food we were very kindly given free dips and flat breads whilst our food was prepared.

I went for the fatayer blahem as my starter and it was excellent with the right amount of spice on the meat but I reasonably hot sauce to dip into as and when required.

For my main I went for the traditional lamb maklouba which was very different and very tasty but I would have preferred a bit more spice/flavouring to it - or perhaps a side dish of harissa?

The service was great - including asking us whether we wanted a break between our starter and mains. I think the portion size was too generous - especially including the free dips as none of us could finish our mains which meant we didnt get to try the deserts. I think it would also be good to offer a selection of the starters for 2/4 people so that people can try more of the delicious food.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely return.

A wonderful little restaurant very close to the train station. Great ambience and amazing food. I would encourage everyone to try their delicious menu. There aren't many staff members, which others have mentioned but please please don't let this put you off, I see it as more of a positive as I don't like getting disturbed all the time. The hospitality and kindness of the owners was so wonderful. The meal was delicious and the owner, upon hearing we were fasting, generously gave us a soup starter and tea after the meal for free! 100% halal so no risk of cross contamination. An absolute rose in the garden of Salisbury. Will definitely be coming back in future :)

I would like to say the food is lovely, I'd like to say the ambience is perfect, I'd like to say all good things........ HOWEVER , I went to this restaurant on Monday, they were closed, according to their website they are open, ok, website incorrect so Weds, we went again, they were CLOSED, apparently as they had a cooker issue, HOWEVER..... the near neighbours assured me they hadn't opened Tuesday either!! If you go & they are open I'm sure you will love it, I will not try again!

A gem worth seeking out! The walk up Fisherton Street away from the town centre is well worth it.

We enjoyed a pre- theatre meal here having tried other nearby N African / Middle Eastern restaurants previously. While some were excellent this is easily the best!

Don't expect swish, stylish decor or super slick (impersonal?) service...this place is family run with a care that touches everything.

The food is excellent. The cooking here is meticulous with everything taken to exactly the right point - from spicing to plating. Delicious, earthy, autumnal warmth without depending on heat from chilli. Subtleties of flavour to enjoy and savour.

Portions, too, were just right. There is a wide choice of starters and mains with many veg only dishes (can't comment on vegan though).

The food seemed very authentic to us and this appeared to be confirmed by the number of diners from its native region.

There is no alcohol on sale here but they are happy for you to bring your own if you wish, and the conveniently located off license across the road makes things simple!

But stay dry...the home made lemonade is to die for! Cloudy, sour with preserved lemons which is then beautifully balanced with sweetness and then spiked with mint....all the taste complexity of alcohol with no side effects! A good selection of mocktails are available too.

Our hour and a quarter really wasn't enough to fully enjoy what's on offer and we plan to drag our extended family here for a evening shortly to further explore the menu.

Don't pass this place by - its too good to miss!

I had seen Marrakech in town and advertised on different ordering apps, and really wanted to try it as their location has always had great restaurants and their North African food seemed different from the typical takeaway offering.

The menu sounded delicious, my partner and I chose a variety of hot and cold starters and a main each. We ordered the food through one of the delivery apps and I chose to collect it. After ordering, they called me to say that they did not have the desert we wanted. I asked the chap if they made their own deserts and he assured me they did, so I asked him to replace it with his favourite one, his confident instant response reassured me it was going to be good.

When I arrived I met Yusef the owner who was warm, welcoming and friendly. We chatted about how his business was going and he was positive and optimistic, clearly having great faith in what his team is trying to achieve.

As a side note, I asked Yusef and he told me that takeaway apps charge him 25% for every order and the well known delivery app that uses cyclists charges him 60%. Something to bear in mind if you want to support local business.

I got the food home and our high expectations were matched. We could tell it was all made on site and it was delicious and fresh. The chicken shwarma was a little dry but that is often the case. Overall I was really pleased and will be making time in the future to visit the restaurant. Yusef has some good deals on eating there and it is currently BYOB. This place is a hidden gem.

A really pleasant Moroccan restaurant.
The food is halal. The service was good.

Everything we had was good although I was disappointed with my lachumen, it was half the size of any I have ever had and had soggy bottom, usually it's always crispy. I wonder if it was reheated or had been sitting around before it was served. My shish tawook was really nice but I literally had 4 pieces of chicken.

Just amazing food! The owners were very welcoming and even threw in appetizer on the house for us. With such a great experience I recommend them fully.

Absolutely gem of a guy that owns it.. very good tasting food .. soup was amazing.. chicken shwarma was very good .. lamb shwarma was okay .. honestly not a bad place to eat at at all .. if am ever in Salisbury I will definately be goin back
