I'm a huge fan of Moroccan food, so I'm happy there's at least one decent place in the District to get a good lamb tagine. The food at Marrakesh is expensive, but most Moroccan restaurants as far as I know are, so I wasn't too surprised that I've had to pay upwards of $17 for one entree here. I've tried several dishes like the lamb tagine, their couscous, and the baklava, all of which were excellent: very flavorful and rich tasting with a great mix of meats and fruits. They do have mint tea here, which is an excellent end to any meal, and doesn't taste overly minty - it's refreshing and just a bit sweet. The restaurant is good for both small groups and big groups (I've been here for a birthday party before), and on some nights they have belly dancing.
Pros: delicious Moroccan food, spacious, belly dancing
Cons: pricey, service can be spotty
