Ive been wanting to come and try their food since the first time I read about them in website and finally, had the chance to do it yesterday.[ For those of you who don't what couscous is, couscous is a North African dish of small steamed balls of semolina, that can be served with anything including vegetables, meat, fish or even sugar and condensed milk (as dessert) ]Since it was my first time there, and due to the fact that I'm totally clueless about the dish, I decided to ask the waiter on what to order and long story short, I went with the Lamb Mechoui (couscous served with lamb dish).It was fun to see how the dish was served there. The Lamb Mechoui (set?) consists of a bowl of couscous topped with slices of boiled vegetables; 3 small glasses each filled with chili, raisins and chickpeas; a small cup of brown soup; and a portion of lamb curry.I was told by one of the waiters that the best way to enjoy the dish is to mix the raisins, chickpeas and brown soup with the couscous (you can also add some chili if you like) and then eat it with the lamb meat. Though I love the lamb curry very very much, I can not say the same about the couscous. I didn't say it was bad.... but it may take some time for me to get used to it 😌For now, I can only say that eating couscous was an interesting experience and that Im looking forward to go there again to try their other dishes 😄

The menu here is short but it is great because it could be the sign that they really know what they are doing. Apart from couscous and tagine dishes, there is also appetiser like Bourek Potato Beef (IDR 59.000) delicious dessert like Creme Brûlée (IDR 39.000) and Cafe Liegeois (IDR 69.000)

Really great couscous and targines. It is quite new and the food is quite healthy. Unfortunately not in the best location so traffic is a little low.

Based on my curiosity, last Sunday I decided to try King Couscous. The location of the restaurant is a bit hard to find, it's on the 2nd floor at Lippo Mall Kemang, next to Duck King. The interior of the restaurant is a plain white wall with very standard seatings, I would say a more detailed and authentic design will attract more people's curiosity tho 😁After looking at the menu, which I had no idea of what those are 😜, I asked the waitress. She has a good knowledge of the menu and explained it well. So I decided to choose olive chicken tajine with semolina and my mom chose the vegetarian couscous. Basically, couscous is a North African cuisine, consists of semolina which resembles a very tiny grains of wheat pasta, and a "gulai" soup (cmiiw). I tried my mom's, well it's unique but I like it 😊 the chicken tajine is also served with side dish and I choose semolina. Well I like this one better! The chicken resembles Indonesian's opor, served with a generous amount of olive. Pricewise, it's quite worth it (a dish is around 89k) for the imported ingredients, I guess.There was the owner which seems to be a native, he came to our table and asked whether we had tried couscous before and told us the right way to eat it.Overall, it was a quite nice experience to try new cuisine 👌🏻

I was curios about this place because basically I wanted to try a new restaurant and it's been a while since I've had Mediterranean food. I had the sausage cous cous and my fiancé had the tedjil something (meatballs and egg). When the cous cous sausage arrived, it was not attractive at all...the dish looked like the meals you would be served on a flight. The soup that came with it was surprisingly bland. The sausage definitely saved the dish, the sides that came with it (raisins, chick peas, spicy sauce) were pointless. The meatball dish was also not good. The "gravy" in it was basically a piping hot version of my soup, bland. And to be honest, the meatballs was nothing special or different. Price is on the high end of things and definitely not worth the portion you get. My sausage couscous should be at maximum 55thousand. For the meatball dish, yeah better priced at 55thousand. I wouldn't come back here, I can find another place with better taste and definitely worth my money. Sad place with sad food. They get a point for their service. Maybe because me and my fiancé was the only one there.

Morocco extends it’s presence into Jakarta in the form of King Couscous, located on the first floor of Kemang Village in the South of Jakarta. The restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood, supplementing the current kaleidoscopic cluster of existing ethnic restaurants that exists in the area. Though modestly decorated, the authenticity of the fare more than makes up for it.

Restoran yang terletak di Kemang Village, Jakarta ini didominasi warna putih. Karena waktu kunjunganku adalah pada weekday di jam kerja, restoran ini sangat sepi. Sambutan dan pelayanan staff di restoran ini patut diacungi jempol. Sayangnya, restoran ini kelewat sederhana sehingga kurang menarik perhatian. Aku sendiri sudah berkali-kali ke Kemang Village, tapi baru ngeh sama keberadaan restoran yang satu ini.- Bourek Potato Beef (Rp 59,000)Campuran kentang dan daging yang dibungkus dengan kulit lumpia kemudian digoreng. Disajikannya dengan saus yogurt, salad dan lemon. Rasanya gurih, jika sudah disiram perasan lemon dan dicocol dengan saus yogurt akan menjadi lebih segar. - King Couscous (Rp 129,000)Hidangan yang satu ini adalah couscous besar tanpa topping daging. Untuk menambahkan daging domba, ayam atau sosis, kamu bisa menambah Rp 20,000 - Rp 40,000. Ayam dan dombanya mirip-mirip bumbu semur, tapi lebih gurih. Sementara sosisnya berisi daging cincang dan digoreng biasa.- Tajine (Rp 69,000 - Rp 99,000)Di restoran King Couscous ini ada beberapa jenis hidangan tajine yang bisa kamu pilih, Chicken (dengan olive & lemon), Lamb (dengan apricot & almond / olive, kacang polong & prune), Kefta , Fish Baramundi, atau Vegetables. Menurutku, yang paling enak adalah Fish Baramundi.- Mojito (Rp 35,000)Ada beberapa rasa minuman mojito yang bisa kamu coba; classic, raspberry dan mango. Paling enak yang classic dan raspberry.- Morrocan Mint Tea (Rp 25,000)Minuman ini diracik dari teh hijau dengan kandungan antioksidan yang tinggi ditambah dengan daun mint yang membuat tenggorokan menjadi lega. Minuman ini sangat cocok untuk dinikmati saat bersantai setelah makan.

Empty and white restaurant in the middle of Kemang Village mall. Unappealing if I'm being honest. Ordering their King Couscous the comes with lamb, chicken, and sausage as the proteins. The couscous came with steamed veggies on top and three different condiments. The couscous itself a bit bland, the soft pulled lamb meat taste tad too salty. While chicken were gorgeous with soft succulent meat and flavorful gravy. Definitely the star of my meal. Such a perfect companion for the couscous. Totally gonna comeback for their tajine menu.

Nyobain masakan morocco yang pertama kalinya 😍 turn out it wasnt that bad!Makanannya unik unik, salah satu makanan khas dan makanan utama mereka itu couscous bola kecil gandum/ tepung semolina. Rasanya juga unik, kalo dimakan langsung kayak makan kelapa hambar ga ada rasanya 😂 Nah cara makan yang benar itu semua side dish yang dikasih dicampur jadi 1! Ada nuts, chili, raisin, sama semangkuk kuah gulai. Yummm!Di king couscous ini setiap menu ada pilihan lamb/beef/chicken. Tapi lambnya sih juaraaaakk, lembut banget! 😋
