Mourad Restaurant

A delightful blend of traditional Moroccan flavors with a contemporary Californian flair. The sleek and modern decor offering a dining experience that feels luxurious.

Ms. San Francisco Real Estate Janice Lee dines at Mourad, a fine dining Moroccan restaurant in Downtown San Francisco. The ambiance is nice and the food has unique flavors and excellent portions. The octopus was very fresh with a good mix of textures and flavors. The duck basteeya had a crispy exterior and the filling was so hearty. The 72 hour aged short rib had good portions and melted in my mouth. I always love the milk bread and three types of butter (lemon, pomogranite and light spiced butter). The uni over the brioche was cute and feeds two. I also ordered a spicy ginger ale. This is a great place to eat on a date or with a large group. It's like creating your own several course meal. I would return again for a group dinner.

Had a group dinner.. enjoyed some of the food.. Candied pecans, grilled chicken.. The salad was okay and the cod was a little overcooked for me. Reminded me of my first team birthday lunch in 2017 ..

Beautiful venue. It can be a bit noisy when even half full. The service is attentive yet we still need to ask a few times for things. We were a large group, so that’s completely understandable. The food is delicious. Some dishes are perfect for sharing while others are individual works of art. I kinda wish all the dishes were for family style - could add to the upscale comfort style.

I work in the same building as this restaurant, so it was easy to score a reservation with my colleagues for a weeknight dinner. The place had been on my list since the time they had a Michelin star. Since we had vegetarian people at the table, we started with an Eggplant (zaalouk), an Eggshuka, their Milk Bread, and the Salmon. The zaalouk was this nice concoction of eggplant, tomatoes, spices, and tahini. It comes with some decadent flatbread that's like brioche, but butter. Cannot recommend enough. The Eggshuka is a refined take on the traditional shakshuka. It was made with extremely whipped egg whites as the crust, hen yolks in the middle, and the usual tomatoes/spices/peppers underneath. I was impressed with how in sync with flavors were of these perceptible layers. The salmon was plated well but I did not think of it as highly, and really recall what it made me think of :/ The Milk Bread might be the best form of carbs i've had this year, seriously. It is pillowy, sweet, and pairs incredibly well with the accompanying butters (peppered honey, lemon, pomegranate). Next we got the Lamb, Heirloom Beans, and the Couscous. The lamb was cooked medium well, and had a satisfying bite. The beans were huge, and cooked to a smooth consistency. The couscous was topped with gooseberry and almonds- unusual but a great combo that went down easy. Our server gave us great recommendations, the staff was attentive. The food took a while to prepare, but that was my only gripe. The ambiance is great, and the interior is gorgeous. 8/10 would go back again!
