About Al Fassia
Al Fassia began in 1987 as a Moroccan restaurant in Gueliz, created by Mohammed and Fatima Chab around the idea of employing only women and training them in both cooking and service; a second Al Fassia, with a boutique hotel, is in Agdal (its site).
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Al Fassia before you go.
