Veg pastilla, falafel sandwich and chicken sandwich all delicious. Inexpensive especially for the area. With regards to the other reviews the washroom had soap and paper. Slow service for the chicken sandwich, took 20 mins so 4 star.

Had a couple of spiced coffees whilst waiting for the Bahia Palace to open. I asked for change for 100 Dirham, meaning did the guy have any in his till, but he took my 100 and then went to other shops in the area to exchange it, which was unexpected and kind. The wife didn't drink hers (nothing wrong with it, just too hot and spicy for her taste) and he offered to make her something else for free.

Opposite to Bahia palace, a calm place in the corner. The owner is super nice. We had breakfast. Eggs, bread, coffee and juice, price is very affordable compared to other places here. I was surprised that this place has such less reviews given the quality and affordability of the menu. Do visit here for a quick breakfast when you visit Bahia palace in Marrakesh! Spent around 9 euros for 2 people.
