Fodor's Review:

Chef Abrache Lahcen of Morocco presents the best cooking of his homeland in this ornate eatery, which looks like something from the set of Casablanca. Your appetizer might be harira, a soup with tomatoes, lentils, and lamb that is traditionally served during Ramadan. From there, move on to the chicken, lamb, or vegetable couscous, Morocco's national dish. A good way to try a bit of everything is the Marrakesh Royal Feast ($43 per person), which includes chicken bastilla(chicken in phyllo pastry) and beef brewat (minced beef in a layered pastry dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar), plus vegetable couscous and assorted Moroccan pastries. A slightly less expensive option is "A Night in Casablanca," a sampler plate of roast lamb Meshoui, chicken kebab, and seafood bastilla with vegetable couscous. The best choice for dessert is a sweet bastilla in which the pastry is stuffed with vanilla cream and toasted almonds. Traditional belly dancers perform periodically throughout the day in a show that is completely G-rated.

The belly dancer and sitar player are wonderful and very entertaining. That however is the best part. I found the food to have little flavor and to be quite boring. I was extremely disappointed because Tangierine Cafe, the counter service restaurant has wonderful food. If you want a taste of Morocco I recommend trying that and passing on Restaurant Marrakesh.
