Has anyone been to Marakesh in Philly recently?
 
I'll be going to Philadelphia soon and I was thinking of going to Marrakesh. Marrakesh is a Moroccan restaurant with a fixed menu. I had been there back in the 80's when I was in college. I read that they downsized their menu from 7 dishes to 4 dishes. Can anyone give me a recent review?

so many great restaurants in philadelphia - it would be a shame to eat there, i believe it is still there but not a hot spot

I looked on 2 sites of Philly restaurants, and am unable to find Mar(r)akesh in Philly. There is one in Dresher, a suburb. ((F))

I've been to Marrakesh in Philly several times. The last time was about 6 months ago and they still had the 7 course menu. The food is good and it's a lot of fun with a group. I was at Little Marrakesh in Dresher recently. It's not as good as Marrakesk in the city, but it's more convenient if you live in the suburbs. They're both about $28 per person. Of the 4-5 Moroccan restaurants in the area I'd suggest going to Marrakesh. It's off of South between third and fourth.

I sit corrected.
Marakesh is at 517 S Leithgow St
Philadelphia, PA 19147
(215) 925-5929

PS - If you know someone with a Philly entertainment book, there is a discount.

Thanks for the info. I think it sounds like fun.

I've eaten here in the last few weeks, still the 7 course menu.
I don't know what it was like in the 80's but it's stayed consistent over the last few years and I still really like it.
