Marrakesh Moroccan, as its name suggests, is a purely Moroccan-styled restaurant. This includes the food, with dishes like tangine of chicken and brochette; the decor, with North African rugs and soft lighting; and, of course, live belly dancing. The restaurant is open daily, but only for dinner, and a few times a week dancers in Arab garb provide the entertainment as customers enjoy their meals. The Marrakesh Moroccan takes reservations on its website.
