Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding!  We started off with the Mezza sampler consisting of hommus, baba ghanouj, tabouli, marinated feta, and falafel.  Delish!  Next we had Harrira Soup which (again) was outstanding.  For entrees we both ordered the Couscous with Stewed Moroccan Vegetables.  To finish off the meal I had a small bite of baklava.  Oh, how I love baklava!From what I understand, Friday and Saturday nights are busy and require a reservation.  Also on those nights, diners must order the Royal Feast, which is a 10-course Chef's Sampler for a set price per person.  During the week, though, everything is a la carte.  Veggie and Vegan friendly!  Oh, and don't forget about the hooka!  BYO.From the exceptional cuisine, to the outstanding service and the enchanting ambiance, a visit to Cous Cous is a must.

A COZY change of pace. Freshly prepared Middle Eastern cuisine complete with Belly Dancing on the weekends. If you want to try something totally different, this is the place to take some friends. If you remember the interior of "I DREAM OF GENIE'S" bottle, this is it. Cushy couches and veils. Middle Eastern music with the optional after dinner HOOKAH. Really Cool. Try the Sultan's Feast.

If you're a shisha aficianado like me, you'll be disappointed by this place. The service is always really bad, the shisha is always harsh, neglected, and OVERPRICED. Service. Maybe I have high standards, because I'm always disappointed by bad service on the East Coast. (On the other hand, I am used to shisha houses in Astoria, Queens where real Middle Easterners sit and watch Al-Jazeera and the shisha costs $6 and is well-maintained by coal-changers. I understand Cous Cous is far away from Queens, NY, and I can adjust my expectations.) Still, every time I've been to Cous Cous, I've waited too long to meet my waiter, to order my stuff, my get my stuff, to get more coal, and then to pay. I also vow each time to never return.Cost. Short and sweet, it's way too much money for good shisha let alone Cous Cous' half dead and never-refreshed shisha. $17?? Come on. Still waiting for a good shisha place in the Philly-South Jersey area.

Oooh I like this place. They did a terrific job making the place look very Moroccan that you feel like you are in another country. Friday and Saturday nights are the best.  Although if you go btwn 5-9PM on those nights, you must buy an entree in order to use the hookah.  However, they have a cool DJ and a belly dancer.  Another part of the Morocan experience would be the feast.  I have never tried it but they have a 10 course royal feast for $25 and  6 course petite feast for $20.  You have to be at least 19 years old , purchase 1 drink/person minimum, and have 3 ppl/hookah. I'm not really a fan of these rules. Why can't we just use the hookah???

This place is passable as a Moroccan joint. The decor is pretty low-budget but it fulfills the middle-eastern vibe you'd expect from a hookah bar/restaurant. The waiters are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately thats the extent of the positives.On paper this place looks great. A hookah bar? Cool! A Belly dancer? Why not. A live DJ? Sweet. A 10 course ROYAL FEAST? OH HELL YES.Don't get too excited though, for things are not as they seem. The hookah bar fulfills its role, the shisha is a bit expensive ($20-25) but the waiter was pretty generous with it so I'll let that go. The belly dancer though is quite the trip. We were there over the course of 4 hours, from 7-11, and the dancer came out twice for 10 minutes each. Sure she danced with a sword for part of that time, but COME ON, if you are advertising belly dancing in big capital letters I'd expect a bit more. The DJ however was as promised, and he played, and he played, and he played. Think loud trance music, nothing middle-eastern mind you, just trance music. LOUD. Now I've been known to get down every now and then, and I enjoy the trance, but when you are trying to chill out with a hookah by your side its not what you want to hear.And finally we come to the royal feast. On Fridays and Saturdays, as mentioned by previous reviewers, you are required to order the feast, you have no choice in the matter. Again, on paper the feast sounds amazing. For 25 dollars you get 10 courses, thats a sweet deal by any standards. Unfortunately the sad reality is it is not 10 courses at all. A few of the dishes are combined into 1 dish. So even though the baklava is separate from the fruit salad on the menu it is in fact just a small pastry that sits on top of said fruit salad. But hold on, it gets even better. 3 of the main courses of this feast are combined on 1 plate. So instead of 3 separate savory delicious dishes you have a plate with a couple sausage bits, 5 or 6 pieces of lamb, a few veggies and a sprinkling of couscous .. FOR 4 PEOPLE. Thats right, the real kicker was we had 4 people who had ordered the feast and we shared 1 central plate. So in reality that small plate of meats and vegetables had 12 courses on it. It blows the mind, really it does. On the plus side, the food had substance to it, and even with the small portions it was rather filling and tasted fine. I should also mention that based on the quick turnaround and lack of heating I suspect the food was cooked in advance, although I have no way of confirming that.Overall it was an OK experience. Not horrible, not great. But I do wish they would be clearer on what they are offering, I feel on some level that they misrepresented their menu.

Great place that offers cool atmosphere, good (and very reasonably priced) food and amazing deserts!The King's Feast sampler-style 10 course meal is simply outstanding!On Friday and Saturday there is a belly dancer which is definitely interesting and you can always shop at the little store next to the restaurant to bring home some goodies...
