What Kittybiscuit likes about Moroccan Soup Bar:
For anyone who has been to Maha restaurant, this is essentially an arguably equal, much cheaper version. For roughly $30, you get treated to up to 14 different mini dishes of sublime taste, all different enough to value each separately. The food is top notch. Only complaints are that the service is busy, you are expected to eat within the hour, and the restaurant is quite cramped and noisy, but the vibe is amazing. View all feedback. What creativecrew doesn't like about Moroccan Soup Bar:
The place was packed! The staff was rude and pushy! Would not go back and not recommend! They treat you like a fast food joint, rushing everyone—but the price is not consistent with a fast food experience. We barely had time for dessert before they wiped the table off and started to seat the next guests.

The Moroccan Soup Bar seems to be a mixed bag of reviews, with some customers unhappy with the rushed and hectic atmosphere, while others thoroughly enjoy the food and service. The menu offers both standard and special options, but be wary of ordering banquets if you have more than one person dining. Despite some complaints about the rush, others appreciate the cozy and bustling vibe of the place. The vegetarian food receives high praise for its authenticity and flavor, making it a must-try for anyone looking for a Moroccan banquet experience. Overall, while some customers have had mixed experiences, others continue to return for the delicious food and welcoming service provided by the staff.

Food was tasty. But be sure to wear your warmest ski gear and take a blanket in case you get seated in the tin shed out the back.
