I just got back from Paris where I had eaten at an authentic Moroccan restaurant. When I got back home to Los Angeles, I was DYING to take my family. I found this place on citysearch and off we went. We had a blast. Valet parking is really easy and only costs 3.50. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with dim lighting, Arabic music, and lovely authentic decor. They will provide you with a wine list menu that offers either by the glass or bottle, but the waiter will recite the dinner menu to you, so I would check out the menu on their web site before visiting. All meals come with the soup, salad (which is served on a plate with three different yummy Moroccan tasties), and Bastille which is a famous Moroccan appetizer (chicken, milk, eggs and almonds inside a light dough and dusted with powdered sugar) and its a HUGE portion. You will then have different choices for your final dish which the waiter will describe to you. SUPER friendly staff. The seats are low and there is a belly dancer who will come wiggle at your table and ask you to dance. Did I mention the super friendly staff? They are so proud of their food, tea, and restaurant that they really take pleasure in visiting with you and ensuring your experience is A++++. Cant wait to take my friends!!!

Went here for a small casual family gathering of four. First time. Was not diappointed.. Interior was welcoming, tasteful and cozy. Service was very pleasant and helpful. Classic vindaloos, kormas, and tikka masalas were not as heavy and fresher tasting than many other indian places which tend to over-cook sauces. Spice intensity is to your preference. Fried rIce was perfect. Chicken was very tender, though just a few more actual pieces would have been welcome. Although weekday room was full by 7:45pm, it was pleasant and not noisy. Reservation recommended for dinner after 7:00pm.
Pros: Cozy neighborhood classic
Cons: Tiny parking area

I have eaten here several times. It is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants to eat ate. The service is fast, no matter how packed they are with customers and the help there are friendly and polite.

I am always very picky about indian food, since I have heard horror stories. This is the one place I have returned to again and again, and every time I have gone I have been very pleased with the food. I've had vegetarian dishes and meat dishes. The appetizers are good but my favorite is the Chicken tikka masala. Best I've ever had by far. If you go in enough the waiters start to recognize you. They are very friendly and accomodating. I have never had a negative experience in this establishment and have been a patron for over 2 years.
Cons: Parking

My boyfriend and I have been searching for an authentic Parisian restaurant before we go on our trip to Paris next spring, so that we can get acquainted with the french food and terminology. WE FOUND IT! As soon as we walked in to the romantic dining room, we were sat by the matre'd who greeted us with the word "Bonsoir" which we knew how to respond to, since we have been studying our beginner french terms. Then we looked at the menu to find a "Recession" prix fixed dinner for an amazing price - we are aware we won't get that in Paris ;) The food was the real highlight, though. I am in culinary school training to be a chef and am currently learning how to make the french sauces. I have to say this chef made a divine Burnoise and Bechemel sauce for our steak and pork that were so tender we literally cut it with our fork. Take my advice and get these two entrees if they are available. It also comes with half a carafe of table wine, not the best, but, hey, it was only 12 bucks. For the dining experience, the ambience, the authenticity and economical prices, this place really can't be beat. We deem it, Tres Bien and Bon Appetit!
Pros: FOOD, SERVICE, AMBIENCE

We came here with some friends maybe two years ago or so and really liked it. Then we moved closer to where this is and have made it one of our regular spots. We just LOVE the food! Everything that we've had it so so good. And there seems to be two guys that are normally there that wait on us, and they are just as friendly as could be. There's no frills here, if that's what you are into. It's just really good food and a friendly staff.
Pros: food, servers

I go once or twice a week and sit at the bar. Order a spicy tuna hand roll with avocado on soy paper, then order a baked crab hand roll on soy paper, then order the yellowtail. Next, try to remember three things you have eaten in a row in the past that could possibly compete!!!
I don't go on Monday's as Richard the sushi chef is not there. He is THE MAN when it comes to sushi!
Pros: Richard and great fish
Cons: a little costly but well worth it
