loads of food, loads of fun.  went with my husband (carnivore) and a friend (vegetarian) and a great time was had by all.  spring for a bottle of wine, this is the kind of place where you should just go "why not"!

the belly dancer was cool for the ambience, and yes they DO accept dollar bills!  my husband had suggested we bring some, and i had responded with a vehement, "they're not strippers"!  turns out they are not opposed to extra cash.  

all that aside, the tricks of the tea man were the highlight, hands down.  

the five courses were delicious and fun too.  we were there, comfortably entertained and sincerely enjoying each course, for 2.5 hours.

we won't be going regularly, but what a great time!

I had my first date with my wife at Mataam Fez in 1985.  It became our favorite special place to eat.  Our daughter grew up going to Mataam Fez and we have many pleasant memories.  However, in the last year, under the new ownership, the quality of the food has truly declined.  The soup is thin and tasteless and the once fantastic bread is now just a bread.  The bestelia was small and overcooked It is obvious that corners are being cut and quality is just not there.  We are truly saddened that our long favoriete restuarant apparently doesn't really exist anymore.

It was the worst night for all of us! I took my boyfriend there for his birthday with another couple. When I made reservations I asked about  the belly dancers I was told they would be there all night and they would go to all the tables.
Our reservation was at 9pm on a Saturday night and when we got there they where stripping tables of the linen in the front part of the dining room and put us in the way back of the restaurant. There we were virtually forgotten we never saw the belly dancers.Upon leaving I inquired about the belly dancers I was told they went home at 8:30.

Feeling like something a little different than the usual sit down meal experience. This is it! I've been here a few times over the years. Though it isn't a place I suggest to frequent, it will definitely be a fun night out with friends or family.

The food is quite good. If you can't imagine yourself eating with you hands, be forewarned - there aren't any utensils here. As you are seated on the floor accompanied by pillows, you feel like royalty enjoying five courses with nothing but you and your bare hands. It takes you to the exotic land of Morocco as you enjoy savory wedding soup to Chinese gunpowder tea and everything in between. For the entree, I suggest the honey and almonds cornish hen - NomnomNom. The pleasant rinse of rose water between courses prevents you from feeling like a barbarian. But give your hands a chance, you don't really have a choice. Do you really want to be that guy/girl? You know, the not fun one? I thought so.

The atmosphere isn't necessarily "authentic", but the experience most definitely is. Be sure to go on a weekend and be entertained by live belly dancing - get up there and learn some moves, it's a lot of fun! Overall, 5 stars because there's nowhere else like it. Definitely go! Stay hungry my friends!

Good GOD this is delicious stuff. Just got back from eating a few of their lamb plates. Make darn sure to have their "featured" dishes, as they are unspeakably good.

Five courses for around 30 bucks a person; a *perfect* romantic, exotic atmosphere that feels rich and luxurious; and the fun of being annointed with rosewater after your meal and watching a belly dancer.

The soup was incredible from the first drop; the salad consists of a sample of 7 delicious mini-dishes; the b'stella was flavorful and flaky and delicious; the entrees were beyond mind-blowing; and the dessert was a small fruit plate, perfectly refreshing after getting completely, unbelievably full.

We'll be back (often).

I ate here a couple of months ago but didn't get a chance to put in my yelp review, (sorry).

The food here is really good. Some of the best Moroccan I've had. And great service. We came here on a Saturday night and was treated to the full belly dancer and acrobatic/contortionist server tea pouring experience. A lot of fun.

The only thing that really kept it from getting 5 stars was environment. A little dark and a little dingy. But don't let that keep you away. I would (and plan on) coming back here again. So far, it's my favorite Moroccan restaurant.

I went here with a big group a few years ago (my entire dorm floor) and had an absolutely great time.  This place really does feel like an authentic experience without the cheese that can come with it-basically, I felt like they weren't over-doing it, it felt real.

First of all, the inside is designed to look like it's under a giant desert tent-already very cool. As per custom, you sit not in chairs but on cushions on the floor with lowered tables.

Before your appetizer (I've forgotten what we had), you wash you hands when they bring out a pot of warm water and run it over your hands, then it lands in a basin below. Same thing for when your entree comes out.

I decided to have the rabbit (first time having it ever), which was a great choice. It was delicious, very succulent and juicy. Well cooked. Another part of this place is that you use no utensils-you eat with your hands. It was very cool just picking the meat straight off the bone.

In addition to all this, they have very good belly dancers that will dance around but also pull people up and teach them how-it was really fun seeing my friends learn how to belly dance.

I've only been here the one time, but I really need to go back-it's one of the better dining experiences I've ever had.
