  Food was fantastic!!!. I never would have noticed this restaurant if a friend had not recommended it. The building is a converted Pizza Hut and doesn’t really stand out but the food was amazing! My husband ordered a dish with lamb and plum sauce. It didn’t appeal to me until I tasted it. The meat was so tender it just melted in my mouth and the sauce was made with fresh plums. Truly delicious! Not being as adventurous as my husband, I went with a chicken and rice dish. Very Flavorful as well. It tasted like it was made with fresh ingredients, not your typical ‘Cary Chain Restaurant’I highly recommend this restaurant!

  Don’t be put off by the old Puzza Hut building. The inside has been nicely remodeled and is casual but nice. We had a delightful lunch here. Everything was delicious! Highly recommended.

  Disappointing. I hate to be the first one to write a review and have it be bad, but this was an incredible disappointment. To be fair, I’ve lived in Morocco for a few years, and with Moroccan chefs, have high expectations. There is no variety in the type of Moroccan fare that they have– kebobs, a stew, and a few sides. The traditional couscous, tagines, and myriad of stews (even beans or lentils) that are so enjoyable? Missing. No preserved lemons. No saffron-infused delicious chicken. Most everything that makes Moroccan food as delicious as it is is not a part of the menu. The makoda were disappointing. Obviously changed to suit a more American palate, they were served lukewarm with minimal crunch and with subdued flavors. The couscous salad was probably one of the least authentic things on the menu: instant couscous with some chopped vegetables. Inauthentic, and gives couscous a bad name (particularly since so many Americans think of couscous as a salad ingredient and not the festive, homey, welcoming food it is traditionally in Morocco. The zaalouk was the best thing that we had, though there was not enough bread. Zaalouk is different regionally, and this was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. The Moroccan tea was also adapted for an American palate (weak, with mint leaves floating around for aesthetics). It tasted like it had been sitting around for awhile and came pre-poured in non-Moroccan tea cups. The kebobs themselves were mediocre– I think Flame Kebob or even Neomonde do a better job for the price. I was excited to see this place and was very excited to try it, but the inauthenticity and laziness of the sparse offerings make this a place I will not rush back to. Maybe in a few weeks they will increase their offerings, but you’d do better at any of the other generic Mediterranean joints in town.
