Al Fassia Restaurant in Windsor and Maidenhead

Really lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. Service was excellent. Good veggie, fish and meat options. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely arabic restaurant, cosy middle eastern atmosphere. Food top notch..

First time trying Moroccan & loved it

Food is well seasoned and prepared with fresh ingredients. A small hidden gem in Windsor.

My favourite moroccan restaurant in the area

Lovely restaurant, great service and the food was delicious! Highly recommend

My wife loves this place. Fresh food, friendly staff. Manager is welcoming and lovely

The food here was so lovely, the service was warm, personable and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday evening meal at Al Fassia and I especially enjoyed the tagine and Moroccan coffee! The restaurant is in a great location with parking and public transport nearby, there's a lovely space downstairs and upstairs, it's well spaced out but still feels intimate and charming. There are toilets upstairs, they're spacious and clean! But the star of the show as previously mentioned is the food, so fresh! I wish I had taken a picture of the tagine before I started eating it, but take a look at photos left by other reviewers. It's delivered to your table in the tagine, still sizzling hot. The food was all cooked within earshot and care was taken to ensure it was all piping hot. The service was extremely friendly and it was abundantly clear that there was a real passion for the food being served to us. I will absolutely be looking for any excuse to come back. The only thing I'd note which isn't their fault... we arrived at around 6pm on a Sunday and beyond one other table, nobody else was there during our meal. This is a crying shame because the food, service and prices are absolutely deserving of a full house every day of the week. If you're debating going here, please do come and try it. Merci mille fois !

Staff very welcoming and attentive. Food was lovely though cold starters were a little too cold for my taste. Pricing is fair, maybe ever so slightly on the high side in relation to the food. Varied menu so got something for everyone and once again, staff will do their utmost to look after you. Would come again.

We booked a table for four but there was only one other table occupied…. The bastilla (pastilla) was very good for a starter . We shared 2 between the four of us…. We could all have eaten more…. The Al Fassia couscous was good but a bit light on meat for the price, however, the lamb tagine was really tasty…. We had to ask for harrissa…. Which was necessary… and it arrived with a bowl of broth which was very welcome…. The mergas (merguez) were good…. We love Moroccan food as we have spent a lot of time there and have eaten couscous since living in Paris in 1974! Hence we are a little bit critical…. We shared the selection of desserts which were mainly biscuits and I thought a bit stale… which was a shame…. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and we will probably visit again…. Recommended if you like Moroccan food .

Great family run restaurant. Food and service brilliant. Small but a real jewel. Booking recommended

Haven't been for two years, but we won't leave it that long again. Excellent food, attentive and friendly service, plus great music and wonderful photographs. We'll be back!

Another fantastic meal.Brilliant little restaurant.

Best place for authentic Moroccan food 👌🏼 service is great, food is amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. And you don’t want to miss out on the desserts 😋Totally recommend :)!!

Food was good, kids love them. But service was poor. Atmosphere was "meh". A friend treated us to Morrocon food. If the service can be super improved, then its recommended, otherwise try not to come.

very rude staff indeed food good but service and waiter had very bad attitude when questioning about service charge

Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Food was very good and service to match. Great choice of dishes available including veggie. We opted for the special taster set menu, it was delicious and filling too. Would recommend.

We spent the day at legoland and this was only a 10 minute drive away. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food we had was delicious. I highly recommend trying the food at Al Fassia, you won’t be disappointed!

The food quantity was very less as compared to the price, taste was average, and serving took longer

Vanavond hier gegeten met 4 personen. We werden allervriendelijkst onthaald en bediend. Het eten was uitstekend! Een aanrader als je goed Marrokaans wilt eten.

Food was absolutely delicious, we ordered a vegetarian mezze for two. Very friendly and attentive waiter. Highly recommended.

Lovely lunch, fresh food and great service!

Lovely Moroccan cuisine, great atmosphere with traditional music, and the service was brilliant. I thoroughly recommend Al Fassia for dinner if you’re in Windsor. The Al Fassia Salad starter offered a great variety of tasty dishes, along with bread and hummus. Tagine D’Elkhodra for main was tasty and filling. Only slight criticism is that there was little too much olive oil for my liking, but that’s likely as it doesn’t sit well in my stomach.

Fantastic meal, highly recommend the sharing platter of starters and mains

Absolutely great place for dinner. Food is just delicious. 100% recommended

Family celebration - amazing, the most delicious, freshly cooked food I've had at a restaurant for a very long time. Even a fussy pre teen ate everything. If you are looking for somewhere, then do not hesitate to book. Service is excellent, very friendly. It is the place you will want to return to time and time again. 😊✨✨✨✨✨

I’m very disappointed. We ordered Moroccan food but not good as we expected. It was totally waste of money and time. I won’t come back to this place again and I don’t recommend it at all.!

Enjoyable food in a nice atmosphere with attentive service. The place was quite busy on a midweek night so is appealing.

Quality and clearly very authentic Moroccan food, good service and well priced.

Abdu was very nice and food was good too…

Aa taste of real Moroccan dishes.

We needed somewhere to meet mid-way(ish) between Oxford and Coulsdon. Windsor seemed a good choice. Next, what to eat? I’m a dyed in the wool carnivore, my dining partner a vegan. We both enjoy food of the world and saw that Al Fassia had some good reviews so we thought we’d give it try. They did not disappoint! The food and the service was simply excellent. We both chose tagines; mine was lamb shank with prunes and apricots (TAGINE LAMB BELBARHOUK). The generous portion of succulent meat fell off the bone. My partner enjoyed the TAGINE D'ELAADAS, Lentil stew slow cooked with vegetables, garlic, mixed herbs and olive oil. Which took her no time at all. With a starter of EPINARD A L'AILE (Spinach cooked with olive oil, garlic, herbs, spices and preserved lemon, served with pitta bread) a couple beers and a glass of Pinot we couldn’t be happier. Service was also excellent; discreet but attentive, friendly without overfamiliarity. The restaurant itself gives a very warm traditional Moroccan feel with appropriate music to add a little food for the ears. I don’t do many reviews but this little gem absolutely requires it. Whilst the cost of the evening was a little more than I expected I begrudge not a penny and I felt I also got value for money. If you’re going to Windsor do not miss this fantastic restaurant.

Wonderful place, people, and food.

Lovely welcoming family restaurant with authentic food. Great service and tasty food. We’ll be back.

Great Moroccan restaurant. Great food, great service. Good atmosphere.

Abit quiet and tired, service is ok but food slow and reasonably expensive.

I ate a very nice chicken tagine. The staff were polite and friendly.

Great starter of sardines. Then grilled lamb...lovely. dessert based on Moroccan filo pasty, homemade, was to die for. All homemade so any allergy issues covered in detail

Wow, what amazing restaurant, being from North Africa, it was so refreshing to experience a taste of home. This restaurant not only has the most delicious food, from the cous cous to the merges or the lamb and chicken dishes. The staff are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. There is something for everyone, and this little gem lets you experience traditional Moroccan food in a beautiful setting ! Thank you for making us so welcome 🤗

The best Moroccan food ever 👍👍and the staff very friendly.

Al Fassia ranks in my top 3 places to eat in Windsor. We have eaten there many times and never had a poor meal. Post Covid we returned last weekend and enjoyed it hugely. My wife and I both had the Sardine a La Sharmoula to start. Beautifully flavoured and a real treat. Other personal favourite options from the starter menu are Mergas Sausages or Harira Soup. For mains course, I went for Tagine Lamb Tfaia. For years I went for the Kebab Maghdour (cubes of lamb, tomato and parsley topped with a fresh egg) on the grounds that I would not enjoy sweet raisins etc. with meat. Then I tried it and it was a revelation so I again enjoyed stewed lamb in a tagine with sweet caramelised onions and raisins plus couscous. My wife had the Alfassia salad as a main course which is a variety of little dishes of cold starters in a meze or tapas style. This enabled her to comfortably finish off with a dessert of Moroccan homemade pastries and a Moroccan coffee. Wines by the glass are restricted to a limited range of house wines at £6:50 of good quality. We went for the excellent rose. I would recommend a bottle of the Moroccan red “Domaine de Sahari” if you go for wine by the bottle at an affordable £23.95. Service is not included in the initial bill and ours came to just above £80 including 4 glasses of wine. A very enjoyable afternoon.

Great meal at Al Fassia last Friday night. Always enjoy Moroccan food and great to find such a good restaurant in Windsor. Very relaxed, excellent food and waiter who managed an individual rapport with all the tables. Surprisingly good vegetarian and vegan options. No hesitation to recommend or to go again.

Nice place good atmosphere food portion to small last time I was there the size of food was amazing this time the meat was small not enough veg but Brilliant taste

Really nice Mediterranean restaurant! The hummus is amazing and the taglines are perfect! Would definitely come back

Cold to start of with wherexwe were sitting upstairs. Starters were small portions for the price as well as the main course the tagine and saffron rice were tasty. Would I go again NO.

Fabulous food, one of the best meals I've had

Nice and cozy Moroccan restaurant. Excellent tagine. Chicken Magdour my favourite. They have big morocan themed space if you want to organise big events .

Amazing food and service and really cute decor. Tagines were lovely. All the restaurant staff are so welcoming, friendly and warm. Def a hidden gem in windsor!

Nice and clean restaurant. Good service and food was nice.

Amazing food, place, and service. Highly recommended 👌

If there was a 10 star rating Al Fassia deserve it!! Exceptional food 10/10. Service from Houssain was extremely welcoming and inviting. As for the chef Mina, she bought a bit of Morocco to Windsor! Best Moroccan cuisine ive ever tasted.

First time having Moroccan food. Very flavourful. Exceeded our expectations. Good for vegetarian options. Service was great.

I have never had a bad meal in 20 years. Great food and always outstanding service. Trust me you'll not be disappointed.

Couscous portions are the smallest I have ever seen and eaten but the plate is huge and even a kid would get hungry for 20 pounds a plate??? Quality is below average. It is a pity as it used to be a good restaurant, i guess the chef has gone. I would not recommend

Really quiet when we went, which is a shame because the service was lovely, and the food & wine were excellent. Cosy little place that I hope to go back to

Each dish cooked to perfection and served with a smile. No better dinning experience could be imagined. I write this after vacationing in the UK eating out for 3 weeks. I look forward to my next visit!

We loved Al Fassia, downstairs was a bit plain, although busy but upstairs was wonderful! It was traditionally decorated in a Moroccan style and was stunning, the ambiance was perfect. The food was incredible, everything was delicious with an excellent vegetarian range (two of our party were veggies) The food was explained by the attentive waiters and service was outstanding! I will definitely be going back and can highly recommend this little gem to anyone.

Really welcoming and cosy restaurant. We went for the shared mezze starter which was the best we've ever had. So many delicious flavours! Had a fabulous lamb tagine for main which was equally as tasty. We also shared a bottle of morrocan red wine which was very nice indeed Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Transportés au Maroc par la décoration par les plats succulents et raffinés. Le propriétaire est très accueillant, souriant et d'une gentilesse. Il s'exprime aussi en français et en arabe et à beaucoup d'humour A l'étage vous trouverez un salon à la marocaine.. très coloré.

Thank you for making my last donner in Windsor, so special! Delicious food!!

Good vegetarian options available. The vegan sharing platter for 2 had massive portions and we loved the variety. The service provided by the team was top notch and we look forward to coming again

Delicious food and amazing staff. Such a wonderful family that own this restaurant along with the hotel and restaurant in Marrakech. Couldn't recommend enough!!!

DO NOT eat here!!! By far the worst Moroccan food I’ve ever had. We were so looking forward to trying the food here after visiting the website and looking through the menu but were thoroughly disappointed. It was an early Father’s Day treat but we wish we hadn’t bothered! The homemade Moroccan bread was stale, the lamb kebabs were bland and tasteless, my dad’s lamb tagine was also poor, he said it lacked flavour and was very disappointed. My mum had chicken kebabs but they looked like they weren’t cooked properly and the chips were lukewarm. The decor in the restaurant is tired and needs updating and the waiters weren’t friendly. Didn’t even bring a jug of water or anything to the table. Do yourselves a favour and save your money!

Wonderful local restaurant, delicious food and friendly service. We had the set menu and it was so much food we ended up taking some home!

My first time here. The place is lovely, the food is delicious, the staff were wonderful and welcoming. We came from Portsmouth just to come here. We will definitely make the trip again. Thank you

It's the best place for Moroccan kitchen in the UK the other restaurant they are not Moroccan they just say they are Moroccan but this one is the real one enjoy the taste and the hospitality of the kingdom of Morocco dima maghrib 🇲🇦

The restaurant is so clean, good customer service, there is pay parking space close . We tried the cusine for the first time and so impressed with it . Cocktails we tried original Al Fassia and mustaphas cooler and they are awesome. Nice place to be with your family, friends.

Booked 2 months in advance as a birthday treat - Morocco is one of our favourite places on earth (having visited 4 or 5 times between us), Moroccan food absolutely up there as one of the best cuisines in the world. This restaurant had incredible reviews, so it all made sense. The dining room seemed rather bland and sterile - not much in the way of soft furnishings, wall decor or other little extras to give a North African feel - but everyone was very welcoming. Starters (bastilla and filo parcels) were both incredibly bland and almost tasteless, without the subtle flavours one would expect. Mains were equally uninspiring. A selection of vegetarian and seafood sides were all adequate, but none very inspiring. The Al Fassia Couscous (not served from a tagine, but plated up) was without question the worst couscous main I’d ever had in a speciality restaurant - which was as surprising as it was disappointing. Whilst the vegetables are supposed to be slow cooked and soft, these were cooked to a mush. The merguez sausages and (incredibly) even the chicken both had parts that were hard and crusty - similar to when the prior day’s food is re-heated for too long in a microwave. And the lamb was soft but lacking in any flavour at all. I left the whole dish. The owner/manager kindly took off the couscous from the bill, but the evening was one of great expectations, and bitter disappointment.

Food was beautiful, service is great. Authentic Moroccan food. We love this place so much.

What an absolute gem of a find! From the moment we walked in the staff were warm, welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious, I shared the Al Fassia Special for two. Excellent! Meze selection served with breads and then a selection of hot dishes including the lamb with prunes and apricots and chicken with olives and lemon. Plenty for two and every dish uniquely flavored throughout. I finished with a filo pancake with honey nuts and ice cream- just right, my friend had a creme brulee, again she stated it was lovely. The other member of our party started with the Traditional Bastilla, followed by the salmon. Again delicious and thoroughly enjoyed. Mint tea, Moroccan coffee and home made pastries to finish. Fantastic! A wonderful experience from start to finish, with delicious Moroccan wine and cocktails too! Very traditional Moroccan food expertly cooked and served. A huge thank you to all of the staff, especially for arranging a cab for us back to Slough when we missed the bus! I highly recommend this lovely, family run restaurant, wonderful, friendly staff and delicious Moroccan food. I am just very sad that I am not a local, as I would defiantly be a regular customer. I WILL be back!

Traditional family run Moroccan Restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, we ate the Al Fassia Special, beautifully presented, with each dish uniquely flavored. Cocktails, Moroccan wine, home made pastries and desserts, Moroccan tea and coffee to finish. Absolutely delicious from start to finish. Warm, welcoming and friendly staff made for a fantastic evening, especially arranging a taxi for us when we missed our bus back to Slough. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant, a big thank you to all of the staff for such a wonderful evening.

Food was amazing, staff was really friendly, very good portion. Best place to eat in Windsor by far. Lamb was beautifully cooked soo tender it was falling of the bone. Drinks was very refreshing. Thank you again

We booked this restaurant for my parent's anniversary and unfortunately we were very disappointed. We were seated upstairs where it was totally lacking in atmosphere and the decor was very dated. The food was mediocre and pretty overpriced. I wouldn't recommend this place for a special occasion.

Tasty, authentic food served. Reasonable value.

Their lamb tagine dishes are amazing, the atmosphere is relaxed but the service is attentive without being intrusive. A great experience, I recommend to anyone visiting Windsor.

Great hospitality, amazing food. Couldn't fault the food in the slightest, if I had to have any feedback I'd say the drinks were slightly overpriced

Fabulous Moroccan food, great service. Always good.

Amazing food and lovely service

A really nice restaurant with super tasty food and friendly staff. If you are in the area you must try this restaurant

Fantastic service, sumptuous food. It was our first time frequenting this restaurant, and we were unaware that one of their signature dishes requires pre-ordering 24 hours in advance. However, they were kind enough to make an exception. We thoroughly enjoyed all three courses of our meal, and the hot beverages.

Perfect service, high attention to detail. Really nice vibe and the food was lovely. Good price too for what it was. Thanks!

Always a great pleasure eating a good Couscous! Tx to Al Fassia team

Delightful restaurant, serving top quality genuine Moroccan food made by chef Mina. Very friendly waiter James who welcomed us into restaurant with polite manners and demonstrated amazing customer service skills. He also ensured we were happy and the food was satisfactory. The restaurant was very clean, tidy and very accessible with two floors. Definitely visiting again! :)

Do not go here! I warn you now. Sharing menu is 11.95pp. Came out with 6 tiny plates. Absolutely disgusted and owner was rude and wouldnt listen at how outrageous this was. Never ever going here again.

A wonderful Moroccan food experience. Loved every tasty dish. Excellent value at a high standard. Catered for a group of 9 at short notice. Authentic experience for the 3 Moroccan guests with our group.

One of my favourite restaurants, especially the upstairs. I particularly like the ful beans which are a staple dish served in many Middle East and African countries. The sardines are also very good.

Absolutely delicious food, great service lovely atmosphere.

Exquisite quality and sterling service. Fatima's warm welcome was the icing on the cake. If you are after quality flavours, ingredients, and experience don't miss this. We had vegan, salmon, and lamb tagines with couscous and an assortment of desserts - all excellent.

The food is delicious with a very nice presentation and quality. They're attentive and helpful.

A bit disappointed. Ordered a veggie breakfast, when it came, no sausages!! Isn't that one of the main parts ??. Veggie sausages 1.50 extra , bit of a joke

We had a great entertaining evening with very good food.

A great place: delicious food, clean, fast service, decent prices, good staff. Here i could eat the closest to Moroccan foods, very well cooked, they used fresh ingredients. Me and my friends were happy we could find such a place - thank you and stay safe&healthy!

We went today with several friends and 2 small children. We were seated upstairs and received fantastic service and great food. Everyone commented on what a good restaurant this is. We will definitely spread the work and will be back. Thank you.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent, speedy, efficient service. They have an amazing cosy corner table upstairs for groups of six or more! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful food and atmosphere! The staff are so friendly :) really recommended the restaurant and can't wait to go back!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Lovely place. Enjoyed the meal very much.

Great choice of food, including fixed menu. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

great starters, friendly service but very average to bland mains.

Love the food and moroccan coffee

Amazing food and service. There was a belly dancer as well. It took us by surprise. Had a lovely evening overall.
