Mmmmmm..... Stopped by hear for lunch today and couldn't believe the quantity and quality I was given. I ordered the £5.75 Chicken Wrap with Salad and fries. The wrap was delightful and Devine. The garlic sauce is home made according to the chef and it is out of this world. Definitely moving back to try the dinner menu!

We have been to this restaurant 3times ... And we enjoyed it so much that we decided to take our parents there...and that is where all the disappointements started.. We ordered the mezze for 4people but they brought the mezze for 2people only(we knew about the portion size as we ordered the same dish last time) and we mentioned that to them but they were totally dissagree and tried to prove us wrong but I had it all recorded,I showed the photos to the waiter and she replied: yes, you are right the portion is not enough for 4people! So we tried to explain that the other staff including, manager and they were so stubborn ...so we decided to cancel the rest of the order and asked for the bill and what do you think...we were charged for 2mezzes ...so our parents were totally disappointed with the food as well as the service and so did we! NEVER COMING BaCK TO La Menara EVER AGAIN as its truly disaster and all they care is how to rip off their customers and not even building regular customer base! SO stay away and be warned that you will pay more than you need to! No wonder why they never busy...

I dinned in La menara using a Groupon voucher including 10 mezze,2 wine glasses each plus Moroccan mint tea and Baklawa.
the restaurant was very romantic and the staff were very welcoming,we were presented with a large platter of scrumptious mezzes followed by two others,to be fair the portions were the right size enough to keep your belly happy and the wine was just right for the mezze,in fact we ordered a bottle,the tea was very refreshing but don't put sugar because the Baklawa is very sweet indeed,we chose to sit on nice Moroccan sofas very cosy and relaxing,we were not at any time rushed to leave or pressurised to order more unlike some other restaurants.
I can't help but feel that some Groupon dinners expect too much probably for what they pay,after all I only spent £24 and after the night I had I can't moan.
Will definitely come back to try the sizzzzzzling tagines.

I purchased groupon voucher with great enthusiasm for a three course meal for 2 for £24 (reduced from £61). However neither the resturant or the meal was worth £24 let alone £61. The meal, which consisted of a small selection of cold starters, main being two spring role and two falafel and desert being backlava and mint tea, was extremely dissappointing. The protion barely enough for one. So we shared the two spring roles, one with cheese filling and one with meat. It was almost embarrasing. As for the starters I had tasted far better.

It is very dissapointing that what in fact was a a starter meal for one was being offered as a 3 course meal for two. I repeat the protion was barelty enough for one.

Apart from the dissappointment with the food, the resturant and its apperance was a let down also. I made the mistake of going downstairs to use the toilet. All I wish to say is that it was not a pretty sight and deffinitly one thats enough to put you off your meals there.

I would certainly not be going there ever again and would be far from recommending anyone to go there either. The food is poor, and there are serious hygiene issues.

Had the same deal with Groupon(for 6 people), I truly enjoyed the Mezze very filling the mint tea is very refreshing,will definitely go back,not sure how can some diners expect tagines and main courses when the deal says Mezze,lucky I had a good time and my friends gave me a good feedback

Went there with my girlfriend not long ago, using a groupon voucher. Voucher offered CHOICE of 10 FULL hot and cold meze-s. On arrival the boss, Rashid just brought us a plate of 8 vegetarian meze-s all of them could easily fit on ONE plate. It was followed by another 2 hot mezes, and it was all about the 10 mezes. Portion-wise it was only tasting samples of each- WITHOUT the choice, apart from one, all vegetarian.
We tried quite a few different restaurants before through groupon, already been back to some since we really enjoyed them BUT THIS ONE WAS A LIE! We felt cheated because didn`t get what we paid for and all Rashid could say was- what do you expect for this much money?!
Well, I would expect what I was told to get nothing more but nothing less either! If that`s the way a manager thinks about the clients- very disappointing! WE WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE COMING BACK OR RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!
