I took my mom here for her birthday last night. My mom is a bit of a picky eater but they were incredibly accommodating. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our night was perfect. At first glance the menu seems a bit pricey but once we received our dishes it all made sense. The food is made fresh to order and is absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to try something different or to feel like you have left Calgary for a few hours.
The food here is great, its just as if you are in Morocco. The ambiance inside is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious.
I went here with my family and they all had such good things to say, its different in a good way.
I will be back
Went last night . So pleasantly surprised. It was amazing and I am critical. The spices were full, yet delicate. Also liked the ambiance. I strongly recommend. Standing ovation to the chef.
The owner Nabil is so welcoming and he ensures you get the full Moroccan experience. We had the soup, B'stila, spinach briq, lamb tagine with dates, and the chicken fasse was to die for!!!!! Finished off with dessert and the most amazing tea. I will definitely be back.

Our experience here started off a bit oddly, with the server seeming put off by the fact that we reserved using open table, with a groupon. Though he said he'd "make an exception", despite their groupon not saying anything about not booking through open table, and the fact that we included our groupon information when booking. Plus, they weren't incredibly busy. There were perhaps three other tables there dining.
However, the food was all delicious. We'd read reviews about people leaving hungry, but we both were quite satisfied. We started out with two harira soups, which had delicious flavor, and for our 2 appetizers, we chose the merguez and shrimp briq, which were both delicious. As our mains we split lamb kabobs with couscous and the lamb tajine. My boyfriend was a bit nervous about eating with his hands, but a fork and knive were supplied without even being asked. Dessert was baklava and something else similar to it, and both were tasty. We finished the meal with morroccan mint tea, which was a nice touch.
We did end up getting over charged for our alcohol, we discovered later. Our groupon was supposed to include two glasses of house wine, which I drank while he ordered three beers, Our bar total came to $46 so I definitely think we were charged for everything.
But, that being said, we will be back, and the value provided from the groupon was good. Just be careful that they don't sneak alcohol charges that are advertised as being free.
Went for dinner here tonight and it was my first experience with Moroccan food. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by our very friendly and attentive server. The atmosphere was cosy and the room is set up very nicely if you were to go with a larger group. The food was great, very nicely spiced and you could tell everything was made with care. I would go back to try some more of their menu! Thank you!
Our waiter was the store owner and he was super friendly! Went out with my girlfriend for a date, and we bought the Groupon so we received a 5 course meal. Starting with the soup, which was absolutely awesome. Then had the salad, third course was a split appetizer (Which was delicious!!), our main entree was superb. We opted to get a plate each of something, then share it. Our dessert was so awesome we ordered a second round! Make sure you drink some Moroccan Green Tea at the end of the meal, really great way to finish your meal. Overall, great atmosphere, we were the only ones in the restaurant alongside side some other people. The portions may seem small.. But after you finish all your courses, you feel extremely satisfied!! Awesome service and awesome meal, will recommend to everyone and will definitely visit again.

First visit to the Moroccan Tent was completely spontaneous and a wonderful surprise. The location is not hard to find and the plaza where located had ample parking. First impression when entering was that we had departed and arrived in Morocco. We were greeted by Nabil (sorry if spelled wrong) who was a gracious host. He sat us down into one of the most comfortable booths I've ever sat in screened in and pillows everywhere you get the feeling of comfort and relaxation.
The menu is good, offering a selection of Nabil's mothers recipes and Moroccan classics. We started with the harira soup and it's classic presentation along with exotic yet comforting flavours. It is dairy free, lentils and chickpeas and other vegetables in a tomato broth which is slightly spicy but nothing to fear. We had lots of questions about the menu and Nabil was constantly checking with the cook to see if he had added dairy to any of the recipes and was really attentive and willing to compromise to meet customer alergy/dietary restrictions. We decided to share the lamb kebab which Nabil had ordered with a grilled vegetables and salad instead of a dairy laced couscous. The kebab platter looked and smelled amazing. First bites the cooked zucchini salad was out of this world though I found it a little too oily, I'm sure that could be reduced. The chopped vegetable salad was wonderful and reminded me of my mother in laws chopped salad, which is a good thing. The lamb was wonderfully seasoned, however it was tough and at $22.00 I thought the portion was on the smaller side though acceptable.
We decided we will definitely go back and we will support Nabil's restaurant and recommend to our friends and family who want to experience an exotic dining experience without requiring airfare.
Had dinner here on the 21 of October. We have eaten at the other Moroccan restaurants in Calgary and I will say this one definitely compares or out does the rest. We were a group of 6 with 2 being 15 year olds. We found the service excellent and food was excellent as well. We had the royal Feast and were more than happy with the quality and quantity of food. We all thought it was decent VFM. This place is on our return list for sure

Great atmosphere and authentic food.. Wow, wow and wow was all we could say when we walked in. The inside looks and feels like a moroccan tent. James warmly greeted us and introduced us to the dining experience. We chose the Royal Feast for 3 and we did feast! Our meal began with Harira soup, it was really lovely, the spices were delicate and flavourful. I don't do cilantro but I definitely couldn't taste it in this soup. Next course was a moroccan salad; carrots covered in cumin and raisins, tomato mix and corn. I did the authentic moroccan experience and ate the whole salad with my hands. The next dish was B'Stilla for two and Briq of Shrimp. The B'Stilla was the highlight for me. Both dishes are phyllo pastry with stuffing, the B'Stilla contains chicken, eggs, onion, cinnamon, ginger, saffron, and crushed almonds covered in sugar and cinnamon. The main course was a mixture of meats (shrimp, chicken, merguez (sausage) and beef) with root vegetables and couscous. The final treat was warm baklava and almond bricks. We really enjoyed the meal and experience and will go back again, this time to have the tajine. Be aware, the feast does cost.
