Makla & The Fez

Bournemouths' Favourite Moroccan Restaurant & Late Night Bar

​ Makla is an independent, family owned restaurant which opened in late 2018. It has a prime location on the bustling high street of Southbourne, which is only a 10-minute taxi ride from Bournemouth's town centre, and a 5 minute walk to the award winning Bournemouth Beaches.

Once you step foot into Makla, you feel yourself being transported, The colourful handmade Moroccan bags line the high ceilings, giving you an impression of being at the bustling souk of Marrakech.

Makla is well known for the bustling atmosphere and good home cooked food, but we also have our hidden bar area downstairs for those wanting a more lively evening. Our friendly bar staff are happy to help with any request, stay after your meal for our entertainment on Friday & Saturday nights!.

Mezzes
Whether you are looking for a quick snack or a delicious side to go with your meal, you won't be disappointed with our selection. We cater for veggies, vegans and gluten-frees alike.

The young man who waited on our table was very pleasant. The meal was enjoyable and exactly what we were hoping for. However we ordered a bottle of the organic bubbles and when the waitress came out, she popped the cork while walking to our table and just basically dumped it into the wine cooler. We were not offered to try or even shown the label to check it was the one we ordered. Then to make matters worse we had to send it back as it was room temperature not chilled

Highly recommend !

Initially disappointed as the vegetarian option for a tagine had gone from the menu but there were plenty of alternatives on offer so more than made up for this in the end.
