I wanted to love this place. The photos of food looked really great but the service and food was subpar. We waited like 3... minutes to be seated and it was not busy. It was like we were invisible. Then we explained that we had not eaten there beforeand asked about the most popular dishes. The waitress seemed very disinterested in making recommendations but did tell us whatshe liked. We asked about drinks and my wife inquired if there was any tradional or sweet drinks and the waitress recommended abitter old man drink with wiskey. Either she didn't understand or just wanted us to have a terrible experience. We ended upordering several dishes and the main meal was a beef and potatoes dish. There were no potatoes and the beef was good but half ofit was fat. Who eats fat? Not this girl. We won't go again and would not recommend Mekki to anyone. Read more
My husband & myself celebrated our 25th anniversary with some amazing Moroccan food & some amazing hospitality. The owner Mekki... went all out to make it super memorable as we ended the meal with an enormous slab of complimentary tiramisu, a Moroccan dessertmade with fried phyllo & pistachios & that was topped with champagne!! What more can one ask for along with a greatmeal! Standouts were, the on the house shrimp chemoula, eggplant & bell pepper appetizer, the shrimp skewer & chicken tagineentree Read more
We celebrated Valentine's Day by having lunch here today (the day before Valentine's Day). Food: we got there around 12:45 and... it was nice that we were able to order a couple of dishes from the brunch menu and couple from the lunch menu. I love middleeastern food and specifically within that, Moroccan food is my favorite. I love Branzino so for special occasions, I alwayssearch for a place on Yelp that serves good branzino. We had trekked all the way from Herndon, VA (50 min drive one way) to trytheir branzino and were extremely disappointed that they didn't have any. Eggplant Benedict: delicious! if you love eggplantsand eggs, you will love this dish. I had ordered this because they didn't have branzino. I think this dish was ready before theothers because it was room temperature. Skirt steak and eggs: my husband ordered this and enjoyed it very much. I think thisdish was ready before the others because it was room temperature. Chicken tagine: the chicken was tender and delicious. Thesauce had a sweetness to it which made it not great but it was still good to have with bread. Chef's tagine which was salmon:the salmon was cooked to perfection (I cannot stand over cooked seafood) and it was my 4-year old's favorite. The sauce wasunder seasoned and heavy on the tanginess from tomatoes but it had really good veggies - zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, peas,olives and potatoes. Milk Pastilla: in comparison to the rave reviews on this, it was just ok... it would have tasted better ifthe cream was on both the layers of filo and not just the top layer. Service: all the servers were warm, friendly andattentive. Our server was sweet but we had a little bit of a language barrier w/ her. I told her I might have a coffee later butshe misunderstood that to no coffee and brought the check out. We had to wait for coffee for 15 mins. And then another 10 minsfor cream. They were out of cream and instead of telling us that, one of the servers ran out and got cre Read more
