Found this place due to the super high reviews on google! Definitely didnt disappoint, had an absolutely fantastic time, owners were so friendly and welcoming. We shared a beef tagine, the berber omellete and chicken cous cous between 3 and it just seemed to get better with each bite. Totally recommend trying it, best morrocan ive had this side of the world!

We stumbled upon La Baraka on our recent trip to Kyoto. The food was delicious and it was lovely to hear the story behind the dishes. Definitely recommend the beef tagine - so full of flavour. Would recommend for those looking for something hearty and full of veggies and flavour.

The best harira soup I’ve had in my life! I also had the beef tajine, which was out of this world. Such a lovely, lovely place.

La-Baraka ( Moroccan Cuisine ) モロッコ料理 This is a place where you can enjoy the taste of authentic Morrocan Cuisine in Kyoto. The price is reasonably arranged for the great quality of the meals. Just 2,000 yen would be more than enough for a dinner ( withought alcoholic beverages ). In an exotic family-like atmosphere they would perfectly serve your needs on a precious occasion such as for your group party, reunion etc. The friendly owner of the restaurant will always offer his cheerful welcome. He performs professional hands on serving tea in traditional Moroccan fashion. The owner is very open to tell you about the story of his hometown. You are sure to have a good time. Their location and address is here. Just go down south on kawaramachi street from Shijo. It'll be there on the east side of the street inside the 1st basement floor of Sakura Office Building.

Exceptional food. We ordered a beef kofta tajine and a side of bread each and it was SO GOOD and the perfect portion size for us (M,33 and F,25). The owners were lovely people and made it a really relaxed and enjoyable evening. Would absolutely go again.

In addition to the generous portions and delicious food, the service was extraordinary. Never have I been to a restaurant where the owner and his wife take time to get to know their guests and explain everything with such detail and history. We left feeling full, happy, and like members of a new family. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Some of the best homestyle cooking I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Menu is short, so may be difficult if you have picky eaters in your group, but if you like delicious food and beautiful spicing then don't miss it! The proprietors are lovely and very welcoming and it's an excellent value.

Absolutely delicious and a great experience. Billed as a Moroccan restaurant - and it is - but apparently it's Berber. The very friendly chef and his wife were very proud of thier food and traditions and happily shared the details of its source, history, ingredients, and preparation. We ordered and shared two of the lunchtime specials- Tajine and couscous. What a tremendous wealth of ingredients and flavors! It was rich, but not oily or heavy, with a sweetness that came from dried fruits, and not sugar. I'll absolutely go again.

Amazing authentic Moroccan food. We came here as a hungry group of 10 and rolled out the door completely stuffed a couple hours later. The owners are a lovely couple and provided a really informative introduction to Moroccan food and culture. The price was reasonable considering the volume of food. I’ll be back for sure.

Chef/owner Moustafa cooks authentic dishes, imports spices and flavors directly from Morocco (and beer and wine!) and takes full advantage of the quality of his fresh vegetables (when cooking without water like in a tajine, ingredients natural flavor matters). We had tajine, cous-cous and grilled skewers and had all three types of meat. Flavorful. Delicious. (FYI We have travelled to Morocco and enjoyed Moroccan food when living in France and Belgium). Moustafa’s wife is very attentive and creates a warm and welcoming environment. Collectively the speak 4 languages. Added bonus: in Kyoto, a Moroccan restaurant feels local and is packed with regular patrons, as tourists prefer Japanese fare (we live in Tokyo and are “domestic” tourists). We will go back La Baraka next time we’re in town.

My family and I went here on our last night in Kyoto and I cannot recommend more! I had the chicken tagine and it was one of the best meals of my life! The flavours and the freshness of the food was perfect. Plus the owners could not have been more friendly, it felt like we were in their family home. Highly recommend if you want an authentic Moroccan experience

The food here is incredible, and a welcomed departure from the Japanese food we have been eating constantly for the last week. We ordered the beef tagine set and chicken couscous. The flavors were so complex and amazing--I'm honestly not sure I've had better Moroccan fare anywhere else. Not only was it delicious, but one of the owners even gave us the historical background on Moroccan style cooking. In fact, both owners are incredibly pleasant people. They are a couple who have a truly heartwarming story. I would say this place is a must-go if you need something a little different during your travels or everyday routine.

The restaurant was owned and run by husband and wife. The place was underground using stairs. The food was nice and made hot based on order. They have authentic recipe from morocco origin of the husband. Kindly note that you need to order one set/food for each person and they do not allowed of sharing the food. So for those that looking to save money this might not be your prefered choice. The portion was huge and sure will make you full. Price consider okay with the portion. Overall, nice experience.

Amazing Moroccan dishes. I've had Moroccan food before but this place uses local Kyoto vegetables who everyone knows taste really good. They also use a spice blend unique to the owner's family. A must try if you're in Kyoto since the flavour is unique to this place.

Really glad we stumbled on this one. Husband and wife restauranteurs who take immense pride in the quality of their food and hospitality / cleanliness. In Arabic, La Baraka means a blessing and it certainly felt that way when dining here as the good was simply outstanding. Wish I could try again especially the tagines but alas my Kyoto trip is done.

We went to a Moroccan restaurant in Kyoto on a whim. La Baraka was fantastic. The lamb brochettes were excellent as was the Harira soup. The owners explained the ingredient choices made in the recipes and the cultural context of out food choices. The Moroccan tea at the end wrapped the meal up perfectly.
