Maqam

Maqam is built like a riad transplanted into modern Casablanca — carved wood, low seating, a quiet dining room rather than the glass-and-steel restaurant style more common in the city's business districts. It sits a short walk from the Hassan II Mosque, which most visitors are already in the area to see.

The menu sticks to classic Moroccan dishes done properly rather than reinvented, which suits the room. It reads as a deliberate throwback in a city that's mostly moved past that style of restaurant, and the review count for a spot this specific suggests it's found a steady following rather than living off tourist foot traffic alone.

Worth timing around a Hassan II Mosque visit — lunch or dinner either work, since the room stays calm rather than turning into a scene at peak hours.
