Grape Leaves Restaurant

Loved the lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Quaint cozy place that has outstanding food. Great service from the owner. I had chicken sumac cooked in a tangene. It was delicious. I want to get a quart of the sauce. Chicken so tender and favorable.y guest had lamb chops . Grilled to perfection. Vegetarians in our group were very pleased with their combos. To top it off the vegan ice cream was crazy good. Will go back

I haven’t been in awhile so I took my great uncle to try it out. The hummus is incredible! I got a combination platter and I like having the option to sample a bunch of things. Juice was the real thing and fresh- I suggest everyone goes here. One thing, staff didn’t seem to speak English very well but this didn’t interfere with my order.

This place has atmosphere, authenticity and tasty food. Food was tasty and flavorful. It was very original and combination of flavors was unique. They nailed Lamb, I finished large peace of it in 5 minutes and was looking in amazement at the bone and was realizing I want more even though I was full. In general it was very satisfying experience.

My bf is Moroccan and was craving some Moroccan food while we were in the area so we decided to try this place. Bad idea. The food is not traditional Moroccan food. The chicken tagine was so sweet, overpriced, and odd tasting. It was a tiny chicken breast, leg, and thigh swimming in a pool of only sweet sauce. Served with only rice, instead of bread. At least it was edible, unlike the lamb tagine that we ordered next. The lamb was unbearably strong and "smelly". I wouldn't be surprised if it was goat as many places use goat instead of lamb because it's cheaper and lamb brings a higher price tag at the table. At least it came in a tagine but was again such a small serving for an over $20 dish, mostly tomato sauce with a small amount of meat and vegetables. We couldnt eat it cuz it was so bad. Once again it was served with rice which is NOT traditional. We had to purchase bread which is what both dishes should have originally came with. The rice also tastes like packaged rice, the pre-made, microwave heated kind. The mint tea was so weak in tea flavor, tho I did appreciate that that there was plenty of fresh mint in the berrad and in the cups. We looked inside to see that they used tea bags. Traditional Moroccan tea should be made with gunpowder tea. Also our waitress disappeared after she brought the chicken out. So when we wanted to try something else we had to go search for her. Frustrating because we had asked her before ordering if the chicken tagine was enough for 2 ppl since we thought it was going to be a full tagine and gauging by the price, and she said yes. No. Each "tagine" is only for one person. I can see why the place was completely empty when we came.
