I love the warm and friendly service from all the staff, especially Nalib. He was very attentive to our table.
We sat for drinks and dinner from 7pm to 12am! From 830pm onwards, entertainment started with local folk music, DJ (very good DJ -great amapiano beats!), jazzy live band , belly dancing and live salsa band and more belly dancing!
We were so absorbed by all the performances that we could sit for 5 hours.
I ordered the Halloumi salad. It was very yummy. The halloumi was grilled to perfection hence not chewy at all.
My friend had the chicken tagin and he said it was delicious and the right portion.
The restaurant’s deco is so Morrish and cozy, i can’t get enough of it!
Service is really good and the waiters didn’t solicit us to leave them a Google review unlike the restaurant we went to last night, La Pergola where the food and service was so so. No wonder they have 28k reviews on Google !
I highly recommend The Folk for a good night out and good food and service !

This place was amazing!!!
Such an amazing fit out with Moroccan carpets, had live traditional music and such yummy food. The prices are around the same anywhere you go in Marrakech. Would say it’s a must visit when staying here and we would go back over and over. Wasn’t very busy and wouldn’t need to book.

Love. Love. Love the decor.
The food – not so much. The drinks were prepared well. I wanted to like this place more but the food fell flat and the audio when people were singing was not balanced. The music in between sets was great. It’s obviously louder the closer you are to the music… there is also a room up and back to the left if you want a quieter setting. Loved the gnawa and belly dancers were entertaining. We went on a Sunday around 830p.
The atmosphere is fantastic. I would say this is a great place to get a drink or dessert and stay out…enjoy the shows. They have a full bar menu and mocktails. I dont know that I recommend the food based on my experience. A lot of people were ordering tagine. I was curious on how they prepared their rfissa. As someone who loves rfissa – I found it to be lacking. The salmon on on the pizza also was a little off. Everyone working that we encountered was friendly… there were some miscommunications at the end.
Overall its a good experience. The gnawa was probably my favorite part. The belly dancers got everyone going at the end of the night.
Give it a try – it might have been an off night.
