Chez Ouazzani

“This is the quintessential locals place. Been around for 50+ years...truly the OG Moroccan place to eat in Rabat. In fact, there is currently a ton of construction happening in the area for a new stadium (⚽️ FIFA Morocco) and out of respect for this establishment, they are not changing any of the restaurant frontage. 🎉 Service was outstanding...place runs like a well oiled machine! Quick side comment...I don't know how Moroccan men are thin (and they are) because if I lived here, I would become a carb blob due to the amazing bread at every meal. And this was some of the best I experienced...truly top shelf. Add some of their Zaalouk and wowser. Full from bread but let's crush some lamb skewers, meat, rice, and fries (needed more carbs...lol). The meats are truly prepared old school making them super tender with this wonderful char flavor. There might have been salad but the meat sweats got in my eyes so I lost focus... Seriously must visit this place if in Rabat!”

“The harira was tasty, but they add too many chickpeas. As for the mixed grill platter, the skewers had good flavor but were very dry. I recommend adjusting the cooking time to enhance the texture and juiciness of the meat.”

“One of the oldest restaurants in Rabat so I was told, tagine lamb was a bit on the sweet side but tender and not too generous portion, beef skewers a bit on the dry side, waiter wasn’t pushy to sell.”

“Don't be in hurry as foreigner but otherwise great food at a reasonable price”
