Since 1977, Menara’s been throwing back the pillows and bellying up to mint tea rituals, b’stilla (pigeon pie) and rabbit tangine. Spacious, elaborate surrounds become even more exotic after a sip of Moroccan Magic (brandy and rum). Full dinners menus include vegetarian option, solid wine list.

This whimsical place near the San Jose Convention Center has been around for over 25 years and provides a good break from the Cal-Ital places that abound. You know the Moroccan drill: seating is on pillowed couches; eating with your fingers is encouraged; and swirling belly dancers, sumptuous rugs, and silver serving pieces complete the stage set for the various set menus. On the Menara Dinner, enjoy ... more

There is nothing authentic about the food served at Menara ! I am a Moroccan, so I know what I am talking about. The food is rediculously expensive for both the quality and the quantity you get. The couscous was the worse I ve had in my life and had nothing moroccan about it but the name, the lemon chicken was swimming in a watery sauce ( definitely not moroccan), and the bastilla was just dry and ... more

Repeating my review from before - did it when I was not logged in:
This place is absolutely awesome, I have never been to anything like
this. Went here 3 times already and still love it. Although its pricy,
its totally worth your buck if you are celebrating a special occasion.
Food is fabulous (and not too spicy) and belly dancing is great too -
you really feel like you have transcended into ... more
