Dar Lbahja

A truly excellent Moroccan restaurant, where the food is delicious — even the desserts. We were warmly welcomed and very well looked after by Youssef. We will definitely come back with pleasure to this cozy, welcoming place with beautiful déco

I enjoyed the unique flavors and variety of dishes here. The portions were filling and the food had a nice homemade feel to it. A great place to try something different.

This place was absolutely delicious. Super authentic Moroccan food. Everything I ate was delectable, especially the lamb tagine. Will definitely be back.

I tried this restaurant 2 times (including iftar), nothing to say just perfect! If you’re north african you will feel like home.

Great experience food wise even as a Moroccan, very warm and friendly people, Youssef served us and went above and beyond' Definitely recommend!

Very cozy place. Great atmosphere. The waiter was kind and polite and most importantly the food was delicious. Very authentic Moroccan cuisine in a city that lacks that. Highly recommend.

The food was really flavorful. Portion sizes were generous, 1 entree is good for 2. Felt like a really home cooked meal. Yousef was very polite asks welcoming. Will be back to try more. Great neighborhood restaurant.

I was so excited to try this hidden gem in Astoria and it didn’t disappoint. I felt like I was transported to Morocco in a homey way. The appetizers were deliciously savory from the Chicken Bastilla to the Moroccan cookies. Even the tea was hands down one of the best teas I’ve had at restaurants. The bread as well was fresh and soft paired with the Beef Tagine that was cooked with tender love. You really feel like you’re sitting down at a family friend’s house - Youssef our waiter was attentive and friendly. He made us feel right at home asking us if we had any questions and provided his recommendations.

Honestly, this place is such a gem. It doesn't even feel like a restaurant, it feels like you’re eating at a friend's house. Chef Touria is amazing and you can tell she puts so much love into the food!! We got the chicken bastilla, the lamb tajin with prunes, and the royal couscous, and everything was so fresh and authentic. We finished with the Jawhara dessert, which was the perfect move,super light, refreshing, and just really hit the spot. Plus, the staff are all so nice. If you want the real deal Moroccan food, go here!

Such an authentic Moroccan dining experience! The chicken tajine was rich and aromatic, the chicken bastilla was perfectly balanced with sweet and savory flavors, and the lamb couscous was tender and full of depth. Every dish was bursting with flavor. Definitely coming back!

Absolutely loved my experience at this Moroccan restaurant in Queens! The food is incredibly authentic and downright delicious—especially the couscous and lamb tajine, which are must-tries. The owners are warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Don’t miss out on this gem!

This family owned and operated Moroccan restaurant is a perfect addition to Astoria. Traditional North African foods, special Friday dishes, all made from scratch like you are visiting your Teta's house. The couscous is delicious! Dar Lbahja's service is top notch. The waitstaff is friendly, respectful, and do well to ensure your experience is the best. The restaurant is clean. They show futbol matches and offer teas, coffees, and treats if you want a quick visit with friends or to have a business meeting. Highly recommend for a true, North African experience.

Came here to celebrate my friend’s birthday and it was an amazing experience. Meriam, and the team here at Dar Lbahja were exceptional and very welcoming. Everyone made sure our food and drinks were properly served, and our comfort was their utmost priority. The food and mint tea were beyond delicious!! 10/10 would recommend and revisit🥰

Cozy atmospheric place with food that's so flavorful even when not spicy. Including tagine, couscous and others. Staff very friendly and hospitable. Great tea for two and other beverages as well.

Candice Le

Delicious moroccan restaurant with attentive service. Not a ton of authentic Moroccan places in the city so this felt like a gem! The portions were generous and we also got bread, harissa, and olives (not pictured). Can’t wait to come back and try the chicken tagine!

Terrific Sunday lunch! Every dish tasted fresh, homemade, delicious: carrot salad, roasted eggplant, bastilla, lamb tajine, merguez sandwich, and oh! the fries. Dar Lbahja will exceed your expectations whether you are new to Moroccan cooking or grew up in Fez!

I had the pleasure of enjoying Dar Lbahja’s catering at a recent event, and the food was absolutely incredible! The beef shank tagine was the most tender and flavorful I’ve ever had. The spread of Moroccan salads, spring rolls, samosas, mixed grill, and rice was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. Even though they weren’t there in person, their food spoke for itself, authentic, delicious, and expertly prepared. If you’re looking for top-notch Moroccan catering, Dar Lbahja is the way to go!

the best authentic Moroccan food in Astoria that I’ve had in a while. The vibe is cozy I could fall asleep in my chair. The lamb tagine with prunes and apricots was amazing. The couscous and vegetables were sooo tasty. My family and I came for iftar here and had the Moroccan breakfast as well. 10/10 recommend the harira soup and mint tea!!

We came today from California with our family for iftar. It was amazing, mashAllah! The food was so delicious 😋😋😋 and the service was very nice. Many thanks to the whole team for the great service. This is the best Moroccan restaurant. We will definitely come back very soon, insha’Allah 😍😍😍

Great Moroccan food in Astoria! I really enjoyed the harira soup—it was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The lamb tagine was also excellent, very tender and perfectly spiced. I’m glad I discovered this family-owned restaurant and I’m already looking forward to coming back to try the couscous dishes.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Moroccan restaurant, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. First, the food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and authenticity. each bite felt like a trip straight to Morocco. The balance of spices was spot on — bold but never overpowering — and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The atmosphere made the experience even more special. The décor is warm and inviting, with stunning Moroccan touches that create a cozy yet elegant ambiance. The lighting, music, and overall vibe make it perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the exceptional service and hospitality. The staff are attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. You don’t just feel like a customer — you feel like a guest. A special shoutout to Maryam, the owner, who goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels at home. Her warmth, kindness, and passion for sharing Moroccan culture shine through in every detail of the restaurant. It’s clear she pours her heart into this place, and it shows. If you’re looking for amazing Moroccan food, a beautiful atmosphere, and hospitality that makes you feel like family, this is the place to go. Highly recommend — I can’t wait to return!

Came here for a quick lunch, as a someone who came to NYC from Morocco I was happy to find a place with other natives. The food was well made and they were very flexible with our demands. The tea tastes just like home and the Tajine was very delicious also. Planned on spending only 20-30 minutes but ended up having good conversation and food which kept us for almost 2 hours. Well decorated store with Quran playing. Owners speak Darija and English

Maiko Kyogoku

The food here is delicious, better than many restaurants I tried in Morocco! I absolutely love their chicken and vegetable tagine. Be sure to order couscous to eat along with the dishes. Everything is flavorful, the chef clearly loves what she does and the food she makes. Very lucky that they are so close by! Also as a family of 5, I appreciate that they are welcoming of kids and don’t mind our rowdy bunch!

Tafheem Ahmed

A very unique restaurant in the vibrant neighborhood of Astoria. Would definitely suggest coming here, as they have adequate seating with good portions. One suggestion is to maybe consider Lamb or Beef, the chicken tagine was a bit dry. Nonetheless, the chicken sandwich was great.
