Cute little place a bit off the beaten path. Ordered the Morrocan Rice with Kefta and caramelized onions and a side of hummus. The Kefta was delicious with the caramelized onions seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg (?). Really good. The tangy side salad was a nice counter-point to the Kefta. The hummus was top drawer and sprinkled generously with paprika. The only disappointment was the pita which was a bit dry and appeared (and tasted) "store bought." Taking off a star for that. If you're serving this type of food, you can't fumble something as basic and central as the pita bread. Aside from that little fail, very good.

I wasn’t too sure what to expect when I walked in. It was very quiet and didn’t get much of a greeting from the staff up front. But we tried the chicken plate, eggplant salad, hummus and lentil soup. Wow! The food tasted so authentic and absolutely delicious! The onion sauce went well with the grilled chicken and rice. The eggplant salad had beets, and a taste of other side dishes with it and cooked very well. The hummus was one of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely a hidden gem in alameda!

I went today to this restaurant to eat Morocco foods which we missed it for long time.. Everything was good and never regret eating here. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The Moroccan food was flavorful and reminded us of great food…We will definitely be returning to this restaurant to satisfy our cravings for delicious Moroccan cuisine.

I love to come to this restaurant. My husband and I have been coming to this restaurant since 2019. The meals here are phenomenal. Everything is so tasty. The mint lemonade is so thirst quenching. The caramelized onions are so good. Just about anything that you order here will fulfill your tastebuds.

I can't believe this place exists....?? How lucky are we to have a quiet place with the best food you've ever tasted with an incredible view and it's not expensive.. And most of the time there's hardly anyone there. I can't believe this place exists! What a gem. We are so lucky!!

A delightful little cafe on an Alameda Pier, overlooking the water. Outdoor seating and a medium interior area. Friendly and kind staff that seem to genuinely love their food!Walked in for the first time to be delighted by the smells of simmering lamb and Moroccan coffee, with a hint of mint in the air. A small selection of dishes that came out fresh and hot.We had the lamb shank on couscous that fell right off the bone. And the Moroccan rice with kefta and eggplant. Some warm hummus and pita bread to nibble at and perfectly sliced coffee and mint honey tea to round it all out.They gave us some complementary almond shortbread cookies that I easily could have eaten more of.Awesomely cute place with some good food and people. Will be trying the place again, for sure!

We were happily surprised with our meal at Abigail's Moroccan Cuisine. The food was tasty and the flavors were bright. I had the Chicken Tagine and my wife had the Eggplant Tagine. Both were smothered in sweet caramelized onions. We dined outside and enjoyed the Bay and SF view. Place your order at the counter and wait for your food to be delivered. It is rather bare bones but the food, view and hospitality more than make up for the lack of tablecloths.

Today was our first time at Abigail's Maroccan cuisine. Food is amazing and portion are very generous. Great $30 combo with a big salad - Lamb or chicken dish - Hot Mint Tea and patries. You will NO leave hungry. The best view of SF + Bay Bridge from the East bay. Easy free parking & clean Bathrooms too! Very authentic coucous style restaurant - probably the best coucous in the East Bay. Service was great and quick.

The prix fixe is a lot of delicious food. The chicken and lamb are cooked well. The meal comes with a small side salad with yummy potatoes and hummus. Dessert is mint tea and cookies. And the view is amazing! You see San Francisco and the bay.
