Riad Kniza is one of the nicest place in Marakech. Food is very delicious and you can also choose different wines from wine list. Dinner for us two with bottle of wine was apr. 115 eur. If you are travelling with car you can expect hard to get a parking place nearby. If you make a reservation online you will get instructions to call restaurant 15min before arrival to help you park. But this is not working so I recommend you to come with taxi or walk. Ambient is so romantic (music, roses, lights,..)

We had dinner at Riad Kniza. The dinner itself was not truly memorable, but it’s plentiful some of what we tasted was bland. The location is absolutely lovely, live music playing was soft and pleasant, the welcome ls warm, the service is very kind. It’s a nice intro to Moroccan food, it’s not the best by any means, but it’s very nice and the bill is very gentle considering the number and sizes of courses. We’d recommend it as a first evening out.

We ate here three times during our recent stay and were not disappointed on any occasion. From pastilla to Moroccan salads to various tagines, all was excellent. The wine list was good and included Moroccan wines. The restaurant was elegant with an informal, yet romantic, atmosphere, and we would certainly recommend it.

We had a delicious last-night dinner here and really enjoyed the variety of courses (at least 5) and foods. Soup, pastilla, salads, main, dessert, tea... The salads course was a standout and the best we had in our trip, including the special vegetarian options (veggie pastilla was great too!). By the time the mains came, we were pretty stuffed! My stomach did not mind that the vegetarian couscous was a bit bland, because I did not need to eat much! My husband enjoyed his lamb very much. We are very glad that we got to experience the range of Moroccan dishes in this way.

While walking through this part of Medina, saw the sign to this Riad. Walked along narrow lane which created interest, motivating to read the reviews of the Riad & its restaurant. Reviews glorified this restaurant, so booked. During booking process asks which of 4 mains you wish: fish tagine, lamb cous cous, lamb tagine with prunes, dates, almonds, chicken tagine with preserved lemons. Selected 3rd.
Arriving into the Riad, taken through some rooms, great looking pool, then into the dining room
1st course, soup, a bit tasteless like having thick broth with vege ingredients. 2nd course was a chicken pastella tasted good although just a bit sweet. 3rd course: 7 different salads/veges:roasted sweet peppers, roasted tomatoes slightly sweet, puréed eggplant, chopped picked carrots too vinegary, diced beetroot, diced turnips in slight sweet sauce, & puréed sweet potatoe. Plus Brivates -- similar to Chinese spring rolls (best part of the meal 3 each)! All this without choice.
Main course selected lamb tagine which seemed to be a cut of shoulder of lamb, slow cooked on the bone!
Sweet/desert was a dish of sweetened style cream sitting on top of thin pastry.

Wine list only 3 options, all Moroccan, only 1 beer choice.price including 2 glasses of red Moriccan wine = 64€.

There is a distinctive difference between expected European cuisine & what one experiences in Moroccan & middle east cuisine. The latter revolves around more of salads, eggplant, chick peas, carrots, veges! Be aware lamb cutlets thin, most cuts of beef tough! Service was excellent, music by 2 musicians good b'ground. Bit disappointed in the flavour of the dishes. By Moroccan standards it was adequate, not outstsnding!
