I love Moroccan and Mediterranean food, so I try all the Moroccan restaurants I can find. No other Moroccan restaurant in the SF Bay Area pulls it off like El Mansour. The full dinner is an experience you won't forget (or regret), even though it's a little pricier than other meals ($36-$38/person). The inside is a big tent covered with rugs. They begin with big silver urns for washing hands, then bring on course after course that is delicious. The chicken Bastilla (chicken pie in filo dough--appetizer) is the best I have tasted. The lamb and rabbit entrees are delicious. No silverware, but you get a towel. Tea is poured from a great height with fried banana dessert, concluding the drama of the meal. Nice wines are available to go with the meal. We make reservations for holidays and always enjoy the entertaining meal, as well as a belly dancer. I've been going there for 30+ years and still go back!
