Great food and great value, it's the first place we come to whenever we're in Nice. Small menu but it's all delicious, and the service is great. If you want an authentic couscous in an unpretentious setting then this is the place.

Has been operating since 1956 and makes cous cous just like my Meme's. A must try if you have never had North African food or if you are chasing a taste of your childhood.

Great food and a great price. 15€ for a chicken tanjine that was delicious and enough to feed two people. The setting is lovely but the music was Creedence Clearwater Revival followed by the Clash. Not what I wanted for my Moroccan experience. I would go again.

I always go with my friends to eat a good couscous, I suggest taking the Casbah couscous because it has a mix of everything meat and vegetables and it is served with side spices. Perfect for groups and to share a good meal together. The place is simple and styled in an old fashion, managed by a real moroccan chef. Maje sure to ask a mint tea at the end of the meal for an authenthic experience.

Great little Moroccan restaurant which we discovered whilst walking in a quiet little side street. Couscous great and reasonably priced. It’s a bit dark inside but we sat outside on the little terrace. Owner conscientious and friendly. Nice stop off.

The food was delicious, but hearty Moroccan couscous and Tagines!! Home made Harrisa was served as well! The ambiance could be a little better and so the service!! But the good is great

Great little restaurant just enough away from the busy streets. Very good value too - couscous 14 euros - most places you pay 16-22. The food is good and the service friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend.
