Smoky House Marrakech review: our verdict
It all starts with a traditional wood-fired oven, where a lamb shoulder smokes for hours until it pulls apart with a fork. Smoky House has taken American barbecue—brisket and glazed ribs—and elevated it with Moroccan spices. The centerpiece filling the tables remains this shoulder, served whole in the middle and tender to the bone.
Alongside, everything comes à volonté: coleslaw, tzatziki, eggplant caviar, Turkish or Moroccan salad, then fries, rice or mash, with three house sauces, one of which is honey-based. Service is quick, to the point where the table is set before you sit down, a valet takes your car upon arrival, and a musician entertains on certain evenings. For a carnivorous group of friends, a birthday, or a hungry family, the address does the job. Not for a vegetarian, nor for those who want to know the bill in advance: meat is sold by weight, and the menu does not display the price per kilo.
The dish to order: lamb shoulder, 650 DH per piece of a kilo (updated June 2026), enough to treat two people. The trap: ordering by weight without asking for the rate; a table of two paid 950 DH for 1.2 kg of meat and two drinks (updated July 2026).
