Moltaqa Moroccan Restaurant

Amazing restaurant
The foods are great
The service was amazing

The place is nice inside and the staff were very attentive, but we found the food lacking.
We started with the harira soup and shared the goat tagine and rack of lamb. The food was surprisingly bland. It was exciting to see the lamb flambed tableside, but it didn't have any flavour. The soup and tagine were both lacking spice. Overall we would not come back.

Beautiful restaurant with wonderful decor. Both the food and service were fantastic. My girlfriend and I had a great time.

Like most places, they're following all the COVID-19 regulations so I felt safe dining there.

I recommend this restaurant to everyone for sure ! Ambiance, food , drink , management of Nimo everything was great !

Great ambience and friendly service! A perfect place for when you want to travel but can't travel.

One of our favourite restaurants in Vancouver! Food is amazing, spices, taste, selection all amazing. And the owner and host goes out of his way to ensure that every meal we have is consistently excellent!

very good food.
Chicken/Lamb/bread/couscous.
I will come back.

It was a great last minute plan for our Christmas Eve !!! First time there and we loved it ! Mimo was very kind explaining all the dishes. The goat was outstanding! We will definitely return and recommend it !

We asked for a private table and were gifted an intimate corner window to ourselves. Our servers were wonderful, even though it was fairly busy in ratio to the staff. The food was absolutely delicious and the manager (who I suspect was the owner) was very knowledgeable about wine pairings, and made great recommendations for the one we brought ourselves.

Amazing experience, staff were fantastic and very professional. The owner or manager checked our table accordingly and gave his recommendations, explained what the food was and how it was made and what wine to pair. Just beautiful service. They know how to run a business 😊

Great experience, service and food. Order the Lamb it’s amazing

Always a most enjoyable time at Moltaqa; delicious food and great service. Love the ambience.

Just fabulous .....
Ambiance, food, music, decor and service are outstanding. It is our all time favorite restaurant. Barbara&Alex

Really great atmosphere, feels like you’re actually in Morocco. Good food and great service.

Went here the other night and had an outstanding time! For apples the our table got the Chicken Pastilla, the Carrot and Feta Salad, and the Lamb Sausage, and every item was fantastic. My partner and I got the traditional beef tagine, and the duck tagine, and both were outstanding! Our server (whom I believe is also the owner) was absolutely splendid and took great care of us! The ambiance is lovely, and the food is fantastic. I cannot wait to be back and I highly recommend going! :)

I’ve been visiting the place for quiet a while , their service is just amazing and friendly ! Their food is authentic to Moroccan food... definitely gonna visit again!

This time we tried the goat and lamb so good. Also, we repeated the Lamb rack.

Great food and ambiance.

Everything from food to service was amazing for our first time dining here. We will definitely dine here again and recommend to our friends and family.

Service was great. Very attentive. But the pita was soooo salty. We mentioned it to the owner and he kindly brought it bread for us. The tagine and entrees felt like they needed rice or something to go with the sauces. Not quite filling enough for us.

The experience started off amazing as the owner greeted us and was very attentive. We had 2 vegetarian eaters among 5 of us so he recommended the vegetarian plater for an appie with a side order of beef meat balls. After getting the appies the restaurant started getting busy and the owner was tending to what seemed like his friends he was having drinks with them and just seemed to forget about the rest of the restaurant. We had no other server dedicated to our table. Got there at 630 and left at 830 as we still were waiting to put in our dinner orders no one ever came around again. The food was quiet bland and lacked salt or any flavor for that matter. The meat balls were very dry and hard and just luke warm. Will definitely not being going back or recommending this place.

Food is always fantastic. Service is great and engaging. Lovely ambience and authentic feel.

Celebrated my birthday here and it was an amazing experience! Form the phenomenal food to the great atmosphere everything was top notch. Highly recommend the rack of lamb, it was probably the best lamb that I've ever eaten. They flambe it in front of you which was an experience on its own. Appreciated how they installed curtains to separate the tables rather than tacky plexiglass, staff went above and beyond to give the best dining experience during the difficult covid times.

It was the greatest experience in morrocan food. Mimo, the owner, made everything special for the guests. He explains in detail each meal and What it the best wine to pair with your foods.
Very nice environment and the food is amazing.
It is a must place to go and enjoy the best morrocan flavors
Highly recommend: rack lamp

Great date night! The owner guided us through the menu, very friendly and informative. We will definitely go again and recommend to friends!

Decor Very authentic. Food is absolutely incredible. Loved the smell as you enter the restaurant. This is my second time there and never disappointed with the experience.

The food and experience was amazing! Would recommend this place so anyone who wants to travel but can’t... we were totally happy going here!

Fantastic food, drinks, service, and ambiance. I made the reservation for my friend's birthday. We all shared several delicious dishes, each of which was explained to us by the knowledgable and welcoming staff. Moltaqa has quickly jumped into my top 10 list of favorite restaurants in Vancouver, I'll absolutely be back.

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere, with a very friendly owner that is committed to authentic Moroccan experience

Great atmosphere and delicious food. Excellent service.

Thank you for one of the best dining experiences we have had in a long time. The chef went out out of his way to explain in detail each dish that he had lovingly made and everything tasted delicious. To walk into this absolute oasis in the midst of a difficult time in the world was perfect. Thank you so much!

Very cultural. Great experience. Felt like we were on vacation. Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had. Been to every restaurant in downtown if you want to experience culture.

It’s one of my favourite places to go. Authentic and feels like a little taste of home. I love this place and recommend to everyone I know.

Food

Thank you for a wonderful birthday celebration! The food and wine was excellent and a wonderful atmosphere!

Loved this Restaurant, the food was magnificent and the service was incredible. Will definitely be visiting again!!

Great place. I would come here again in future with anyone.

What an enjoyable experience! We read previous reviewer's experiences of great food and service and visited on their recommendations. We were not disappointed. Mimo, our server, was excellent. The atmosphere was authentic and warm. The food was absolutely delicious.
Do not be put on by the address on Hastings. It is worth the trip. We now have a new favourite restaurant in Vancouver. Looking forward to bringing more family and staff in the future.

First, don't be put off by the skid row location. There is parking next door to the restaurant. The Croatian owner is married to a Moroccan and was very helpful in explaining the food options and making recommendations for a comprehensive taste of Morocco. He made sure that everything worked and definitely did not try to oversell the menu. We did however over order and all four of us came away with a carton of food for another full meal at home. The Swedish waitress was very attentive and helpful. A great non rushed dining experience to help replace our covid cancelled Moroccan vacation.

Host gave us ideas and plenty of time
