Brought our mom here to celebrate her 80th birthday! The service was excellent and attentive. The food was delicious. The lamb tagine was tender and juicy. The Moroccan chips crispy and well seasoned. The trio of bread dips was amazing -- each a delightful flavor. The couscous was filling and flavorful. The octopus was a good portion, but a bit rubbery. We even had mint tea which took my taste buds back to my time spent in Morocco. The atmosphere was electric and mysterious. The performers were personable and talented and we appreciated how they greeted every patron and announced all celebrations. My mom really enjoyed herself and was excited to have this memorable experience. Thanks Berber for a great evening!!

We went for the nightfall show for a date to end our trip and it was such a great time. Food was very flavourful, cocktails were some of the best I've had. The performances were paced perfectly and there is time in between for conversation so it won't feel like a movie-theatre-date. The performers were super impressive and my jaw actually dropped the entire time. It was on a pricier end but even if no food it would've been worth the price.

A very fun and unique date night. Both the host of the restaurant and the host of the show were polite/fantastic/and friendly. Not the cheapest, but you’re paying for dinner AND a show. Having the menu pre-set was fun to have a hands off experience. The food was delicious, but for the items I didn’t like, I felt like I was missing out on an entire section of my meal. They served it “to share” between two people, so I’m not sure what a larger party would look like. The night of, they gave birthday/anniversary/etc shout outs. If you’re looking to be extra, I think this is the perfect place to be extra.

I just got back from Marrakesh and miss it so much already. We went to Berber in SF for the Persian New Year Celebration high tea and we had a wonderful time. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout my visit. Even though most of them are not Berber (a member of the indigenous People from North Africa), they remind me of Moroccans a lot. So genuine, so much passion & their hospitality. The food was amazing and authentic to Marrakesh. I was blown away by the flavors and textures in each bite. The standout for me was the cocktail, which was the perfect complement to my meal. According to Michelin guide, Berber's cocktail is top-notch must-try. Bartender Bo is the best. We haven't got the opportunity to watch dinner show. It looks like circus do Soleil, can't wait for my next dinner show 3 course experience.
