I'll definitely dine here again.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMServiceVery friendly and helpful service. Our waiter, knowing we were relatively new to eating Moroccan food was great about explaining what we were eating. It was a great experience. A little pricey but overall it was great.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing, unique foodThe quality food matched with stellar service. We went for a birthday dinner Thursday night and were amazed with the new unique flavors. Our waitor was amazing: knowledgeable and very personable with fantastic recommendations.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThe reason I didn't scoreThe reason I didn't score it 5 stars overal is because of the temperature of the restaurant is too warm. Not extremely uncomfortable, just noticeable very warm. The food, service and atmosphere are all great!!!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place is one of the bestThis place is one of the best restaurants in San Diego. Incredible food. Friendly conversation, but not invasive service. Highly recommend.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMCame across this place whenCame across this place when i first came into town looking up places to dine that weren't "fast food". I was not disappointed. They're menu has choices for everyone, and the food was excellent. The wait staff was great as well. The food was very good, i wouldn't hesitate to visit here again.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Morrocan RestaurantMy wife and I love this place the food is to die for. The service....can't say enough about. Daniel was superb, outgoing and cheery. I strongly recommend this place.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMA FEAST FOR THE EYES AND STOMACHEI recommend ordering one of the Feast options. You get a nice variety of different foods and enough to share. Interesting mileau with areas divided providing some privacy and romanticism. Attentive and friendly waiters. The food is delicious and well prepared. The waiter was kind enough to allow switching meat for vegetables when ordering the Feast.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, great service,Great food, great service, and a nice Moroccan feel. My only complaint would be that there was not that much food for how much everything cost. The tagines were delicious (especially the lamb) and the b'stilla roll was off the chain.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMA Great FindFor a nice Maroccan experience and GREAT couscous! Our family has been eating couscous for many years and the one served at Kous Kous is delicious! The merguez are great (not many places carry them in San Diego)and the team makes the experience most enjoyable.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMYou must go to Kous KousIf you are or will be in San Diego.. you must go to Kous Kous. It was best dinner and dining experience I've had in a long time!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMMoroccan gem in HillcrestSecond time I've been here and I wasn't disappointed! Great food, dim lighting, great ambiance and helpful, friendly waiters. The menu has a varied selection and the cold and hot tea is wonderful. It was a little stuffy and warm when we got there, but the AC was turned immediately when I pointed out how warm it was--the waiter was noticeably warm as well. Location is amazing, as we love Martini's Above 4th, which we went to right after--just a quick elevator ride up. Will be coming to Kous Kous again and again in the near future. Just make sure and call in to reserve a table, ESPECIALLY on the weekends. This place fills up quickly because of its popularity.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMHidden gem tucked away in HilcrestI love Kous Kous. It's one of my favorite places to eat. We went on a Tuesday so it was less crowded and no wait! The ambiance was great and the servers, attentative! The flavors are exceptional. I always recommend any of the sides! I love their couscous and saffron rice. Portion sizes don't disappoint. Although a little pricey, I love their mint tea!4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, drinks and decor!Great food, drinks and decor! Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very comfortable in trying Moroccan food for the first time. We loved everything. The Desert Rose cocktail was a favorite at our table.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMDeliciously prepared foodDeliciously prepared food in a setting that makes the diner feel he or she is in Morocco. A delightful experience and reasonably priced as well.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely the best dinningAbsolutely the best dinning experience I've ever had!! It was perfect for a romantic dinner for two, but I also saw small groups having a good time. Love the ambiance and the set up. Lighting is on the darker side and the seating is all couches, loveseats and ottomans where we sat. The special drinks were excellent and the beer list is sufficient for the guys.
The food is out of this world!! I had the fish special tagine and my date had the chicken tagine, and both were finger-licking delicious, we cleaned our plates. We will definately be back and possibly go to Morocco! We spend 2.5 hours there as a couple and had no idea how time passed. Romantic dinner accomplished.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Spot!Went based on reviews and wanting to try something new. This place did not disappoint at all. It was outstanding!
I booked a reservation because one reviewer recommended them for Fri/Sat nights. We went Friday at 6:15pm. At that time there was still plenty of open seating but the place did fill up during our time there. So, I'd agree you should make a reservation if you're planning on eating after 6:30pm.
Our waiter was super friendly and asked if we'd eated Moroccan before which we had not. He was more than happy to give us the run down of the menu, how Moroccan food is prepared, etc. plus some terrific recommendations. We went with much of what he suggested & everything was delicious!
Highly recommended, will definitely be coming3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was great, drinks wereFood was great, drinks were great, it was a perfect area to catch up with my brother.

A romantic place for a date, but also good for families or groups.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMTook my girlfriend here forTook my girlfriend here for her birthday, she loved it! We loved the ambiance, the food, the mint tea is the BEST tea we have ever had. We loved this place! The only not so great part is i asked for a quiet area since it was just two of us and it was nice and quiet for a while since we were the only ones at the restaurant, then a family came and sat down in the table right next to us (even tho every single other table was free at the time) and they were pretty loud. We ended up leaving really fast because the kids in the table next to us were getting annoying1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
