Riad Dar Chrifa Rabat

Thanks you Naoufal for the amazing experience. Excellent food, warm personalities, clean and a breathtaking design that takes you back in history for the duration of your stay. We got the privilege to see the bedroom and the rooftop and it was anything but disappointing! See you next time.

Dar Chrifa in Rabat offers a truly enchanting experience. This beautifully restored riad, housing a boutique hotel and restaurant, provides a tranquil and sophisticated atmosphere. My recent lunch there was exceptional. The Moroccan cuisine was superb, showcasing the vibrant flavors of the region. The service was outstanding; the staff, led by Ms Chrifa, were attentive, friendly, and passionate about creating a memorable experience. The building itself is stunning, and I recommend asking about its nice history about this ancient family house. Dar Chrifa is more than just a meal; it's an immersive experience. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is a complete joke, avoid it at all costs. We went here for dinner as nothing else was open. I’d rather starve than go here again though. Service: Slower than a snail. We waited ~20 mins just to order, ~30 mins just for tea, and more than 1 hour for food. In the meantime the waiter was just running around, moving one glass at a time, disappearing to the kitchen to bring nothing back, and overall just not doing anything useful. Food: Overpriced disaster. We ordered lentil soup (80dh/8€), vegetable tajine (150dh/15€) and mint tea (50dh/5€). We got a soup from a big pot that was just standing on one of the tables and was already kinda cold. Vegetable tajine (on the photo) was literally one potato, half a carrot, and half a zucchini for 15€!!! The bread we got was really stale, like 2-3 days old (at least we didn’t get charged for that). 5€ for mint tea is completely ridiculous even for the most touristy places in Morocco (the waiter did not give us a beverage menu and did not tell us the price before giving us the bill). Taste of everything was average. Atmosphere: Just meh. Interior is nice. There was a guy playing guitar and singing really loudly though so it was hard to have a conversation. Final verdict: Worst experience in Morocco, on the level of finding mud and a worm in our tea in one of the restaurants in Chefchaouen.

It was a wonderful experience that deserves to be repeated again, especially with the presence of the waiter Omar, who was the heartbeat of the place. He received us warmly and introduced us to the historical story of Riyadh. He was very interested in our requests and promptly.

Beautiful Riad, superior service and very friendly and professional staff. The food was excellent and very savory. They surprised us with rose petals in our room for our anniversary. The views from the rooftop are stunning. I highly recommend Riad Dar Chrifa to anyone visiting Rabat. We will definitely go back. Thank you Nawal Raiss for making our stay memorable.

Pros: It was one of the very few opened restaurants in the Rabat Medina. The interior was beautiful, everything was clean. Cons: Unfortunately, there are many more cons though. We waited for over an hour to get our food (after waiting for around 20 mins to order) to get an overpriced, very average tajine. We also ordered a lentil soup (far from being a lentil soup tbh) which was served from a big pot standing on a nearby table, so not only it wasn’t tasty, but understandably it was also cold. The cherry on top was mint tea (literally hot water with a piece of mint) for 50MAD… well, there are not many restaurants to choose from, but I definitely wouldn’t choose this one again.
