Staff said only lamb zabihah
I am here right now. I would NOT trust their food. I asked the lady at the reception if the food is Halal (at first she didn't understand us saying Zabiha) and she replied that only the lamb is halal. However, a few minutes later when I asked the waiter, he said most things are Halal. A dichotomy really. So I ordered the salmon here and requested the waiter to cook it separately. Plus there's alcohol served here and it's catered entirely to a universal audience, with its Disney stereotypes. I suggest that the admins here please take note of this review. Thank you!
Only halal option in Epcot center, I have eaten there everything I have visited Epcot and my experience has always been great. It is an up scale authentic Moroccan restaurant with excellent service. Please check with the manager or the chef on their halal menu options for the day.
After some time explaining to guest services what "Halal" was, I spoke to the chef at the Marrakesh restaurant in Epcot, who assured me that the lamb was halal. Trouble is, there aren't that many lamb dishes -- the choice comes down to a joint of lamb on couscous or a choice of lamb on rice. This tasted nice enough, but I felt pretty ill afterwards (could have just been the heat). Still, it's worthwhile considering if you happen to be visiting Epcot. Bill for two adults, two children, with only two desserts, was around $150
