Profile

This venue is closed.

Venture through this nondescript Upper East Side doorway and a man dressed from fez to slippers in Moroccan garb will guide you past the lounge, through a vest-pocket kitchen, and into a back room so ornately outfitted with North African paraphernalia that you'll feel disoriented. So sink into a heap of embroidered pillows and go with the decidedly unhurried flow, which involves an assortment of vegetable meze, flaky b’steeyas, flavorful tajines, and hot mint tea. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Al Baraka is the worst

This has to be the worst restaurant we have ever eaten at. The food was terrible - dried out chicken for $20, horrible tasting other dishes for ridiculous prices. Watch out for the cover charges they put on the bill as well. The service was a combination of slow and nasty. Truly the worst meal we have ever had.
