Need a Break?

Need a break from homework? Wanna get out of that boring dorm room and be entertained by Moroccan belly dancers?

In that case...Merrakesh is the place for you! This place has everything! The environment is awesome and it will put all your worries aside. I walked in and right away the lightening made my body go from tight and stressed to extreme relaxation. You sit on low to the floor on hassocks and eat with your hands. Yes, that's right, I said eat with your hands. This is not like a Chinese restaurant when you can ask for forks and knifes instead of chop sticks, it is straight hands or get the h*** outta here! Micaela Capelle attended Merrakesh and thought "this place is amazing! It is definitely hard to get past the norm of not eating with utensils." The belly dancer was hilarious, she even made me get up and learn how to belly dance with her. "I never knew my daughter could dance like that!!!" said Heather McCluskie. "I had quite the experience." I apologize for the quality of this video below but the lighting in there was really dark...I learned how to belly dance so please take the time to watch the video all the way through :)

But honestly, overall...the food is awesomazing (yes awesome + amazing) and you definitely get your money's worth.  It is a 5 course meal and lemme tell you, it is one of those meals that you gotta unbutton your pants by the time you get to the last course.  Seriously it is a perfect place for a college student to get out of the commons food and see how food and culture can brighten your day :)
