Marrakesh is back on the scene in Anaheim's Packing District, bringing dimly lit Moroccan lounges, live music and a multi-course dinner experience to the historic Packing House. The new location, which opened earlier this year, leans into theatrical service and classic North African flavors, spread across several intimate, cushion-filled seating areas.
The restaurant's site lists a la carte staples like savory bastilla, grilled merguez and saffron-kissed lamb chops, along with cocktails, private-dining options and online reservations, according to Marrakesh's website. The same page lays out current dinner hours and provides a booking link for parties and special events.
From A Costa Mesa Legend
The Anaheim outpost nods to the long-running Costa Mesa Marrakesh but operates as its own venture under owner Ali Rabbani, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. Executive chef Meriem Bensaddok, who trained under the former Costa Mesa chef, runs the kitchen and told the paper, "Here, we do it the Moroccan way."
Menu And Prices
Marrakesh pairs its a la carte list with a multi-course option designed for diners who want the full spread. The paper notes a four-course fixed menu priced between $45 and $70 per person and intended for at least two guests, according to the Los Angeles Times. Coverage highlights harira soup, shrimp couscous, salmon tagine and the honey lamb as examples of what the kitchen is sending out.
Shows And Scene
Weekend nights bring traditional Moroccan music and belly-dance performances, turning dinner into something closer to a show. The Anaheim Packing District lists specific dinner-and-show dates on its events calendar, and the restaurant has been folded into the district's broader entertainment slate, hosting sold-out comedy and food nights during Visit Anaheim's recent festival, according to the Orange County Business Journal and the Packing District's event listings.
Reservations And Practicalities
Reservations, private-dining requests and current hours are all handled through the restaurant's booking page, and the team promotes private-party packages for groups. For details or to lock in a table, see Marrakesh's website.
