I thought “Moroccan Bites” was just a catchy name, but turns out it’s a literal warning! The portions are so tiny, you might want to bring a magnifying glass to find your food. Planning to break your fast here? Don’t forget your coffee—because they don’t serve it, and you’ll need something else to calm down your hunger!
I highly recommend packing some msemen and croissants . We ended up running to Zyara for a wrap because, let’s be honest, we were still hungry.
The decor is stunning, though. You start with dates and shebakia—admittedly, the shebakia was good. Then it’s a piece of msemen so small. The fruit salad? Just a shy little scoop hiding at the bottom of the cup. The Moroccan salad is a spoonful of each: carrot, barba, and mashed potato, served with a side of “Is that it?” And let’s not forget the egg and a tiny bowl of harira—tasty, but I only liked it because I was starving.
Now, about that Moroccan cigar… whatever they stuffed in there, I’m convinced it was a secret experiment gone wrong. We decided to go for the Royal option because the basic $24.95 was clearly a suggestion, not a meal. We ordered kebab tagine and merna balls, and what a letdown! Tasteless enough to make cardboard seem gourmet. It was a waste of precious stomach space.
On the bright side, the service was great, and the presentation was decent. But overall, the value for the meal $34.95? Was Below average. I even saw a few folks at Tangiawi ordering food because they clearly regretted their “bites” decision. If you’re planning to dine here, just remember: pack snacks.. u will need them !

A very small (3 tables) eatery with delicious Moroccan food. We came because of the “where do Moroccan people go when they’re homesick and hungry vid”. There were limited options and the couscous items are only available on certain days so we couldn’t try. The items we did try were delicious! The chicken pastilla was like a chicken baklava lol. The top was sweet like a dessert so if you don’t like salty sweet food this may not be for you. The lamb was fall off the bone. Not gaimy and very flavorful. The mint tea was great to balance everything out. I’d def come back to try the other items!

Great experience at Moroccan Bites by Siham. We loved the mint tea and eggplan spread.
We went on a Friday night, the only day they serve vegetarian options. Veggie cous cous was good.
They are opening another spot on Steinway close to 30th ave supposedly at the end of this month.

Hate to type up a review like this in Ramadhan but I must do what I think is best.
Came in for a take-out order 40mins before iftar. They said it would take 25mins but took 50mins instead (food arrived 10mins after iftar). Now I must emphasize that I have no issues with waiting, especially in Ramadhan, delays are understandable. What I have an issue with is what did NOT happen during our wait.
They offered dates and other items to break your fast to only dine-in customers. They looked straight at us waiting for our food and decided to ignore us while walking in front of us with a platter filled with dates. We had to go outside to buy drinks to break our fasts due to this. So apparently the generosity for breaking your fast with even a date only extends to dine-in customers? Very hurtful to think we aren’t deserving of dates due to a take-out order and even more disrespectful doing this when they ran 25mins late for our food with iftar time falling in between.
Lastly, the food was unique, but mid. Maybe I just don’t have a palate for Moroccan style food so definitely take this part of the review with a grain of salt. Just have no clue how it’s a 4.9 rated restaurant, tastes more like a 4.4. And given their nonexistent customer service, where they didn’t even acknowledge us for iftar or to tell us our food is running late even once, would think the rating would be even lower.
As far as the food, my rating is as follows:
Lamb shank – 4/5.
The Beef with peas – 1/5 (mute flavor).
The half chicken – 3/5.
The bread 4/5, really enjoyed their bread.
Seafood pastilla – 4/5

The best authentic Moroccan restaurant you can find in town! Sihem and her staff are super welcoming and friendly. The chicken pastilla is a must try! I have to come back to try to couscous (Fridays and Saturdays).

An unassuming place but some of the most delicious Moroccan food I’ve ever had! Very authentic tasting. I highly recommend you try everything on their menu but one thing I absolutely loved was the baby roasted potatoes, taktouka, and the chicken pastilla. The service also from siham and her family was unmatched and very welcoming. Moroccan hospitality at its core. Love this place

Hand downs some the best Moroccan food I’ve had and I’m saying that even after visiting morocco. We had the lamb tajine, chicken pastilla, and grilled chicken with potatoes. The bread was also amazing and fresh. We also took some Moroccan cookies to go. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic homemade Moroccan food.

Hands down the BEST MOROCCAN restaurant in NYC. I have been living in NYC for 14 years and I have never tasted such a tasty authentic moroccan food. Not only it is made traditionally and is 10000% authentic, but it is phenomenally delicious. Do not walk there, but run. My kids absolutely adore eating here, whether it is rfissa, lamb and prunes tajine, couscous, tanjya (yes they do make tanjya), zaalook, the bread… everything is just delicious and scrumptious and an explosion of moroccan flavors!!!

The flavor was unreal. This is authentic Moroccan food. My try the tagine lamb (so tender) and bastilla (loved the sweet and salty flavor and crispy pastry texture)!!
