Book nowA Dinner-Show Institution in Gueliz
For over twenty years, Restaurant Azar has been one of the best-known dinner-show venues in Gueliz, the modern centre of Marrakech. In a refined oriental setting, away from the tourist bustle of the Medina, it brings together local residents and travellers from around the world every evening around fusion cuisine, paced by a live show. To step through Azar's door is to enter a world where food, music and dance form a single experience.
Far from being just a restaurant, Azar was conceived as a full evening destination: people come to dine, but also to live a moment that stretches late into the night. This identity, rare in Marrakech, rests on three inseparable pillars — carefully crafted cuisine, a live oriental dinner show every evening, and a shisha lounge to end the night in a mellow atmosphere.
Moroccan and Levantine cuisine
Azar's menu celebrates the culinary traditions of Morocco and the Levant, reinvented with a contemporary touch: hot and cold mezze, fragrant tagines slow-cooked in clay, shawarmas, grills, a generous couscous royale and homemade oriental desserts. This Moroccan-Lebanese fusion, uncommon in the city, gives Azar's table a signature all its own. Explore the full menu.
A dinner show every evening
What sets Azar apart is its live show. From around 9 PM, oriental dancers, live music, oud and percussion turn dinner into a truly immersive spectacle. The energy builds through the evening, often bringing tables to their feet. Discover our dinner show in Marrakech, perfect for extending the evening over shisha.
Three spaces, one atmosphere
The restaurant unfolds across three distinct spaces. The main dining room, with its central floor, offers a direct view of the show. The panoramic mezzanine upstairs is more intimate, overlooking the room and the performance. Finally, the outdoor terrace welcomes warm Marrakech evenings. Throughout, the elegant oriental decor — soft lighting, warm materials, Moroccan arches — creates a chic yet unstuffy atmosphere.
Celebrations and events
Azar regularly hosts birthdays, romantic dinners and group celebrations. Mention your occasion when booking and the team can arrange a special touch. For groups of more than 13, write to contact@azar-marrakech.com.
