About El Mansour:
El Mansour, established in 1976, has enjoyed a recent move next door from its original location on Clement Street in the Richmond District. Proprietors Jack and Houda Tanverakul reconstructed their vision of Moroccan dining quarters with fabrics and textiles shipped from various parts of Morocco. In addition to the materials, the traditional menu has experienced a rebirth with new tagines and kebabs. Belly dancers entertain guests nightly, as Moroccan culture holds that the dance helps to provide the diner with an unforgettable evening. The art of pouring tea from a standing position is a skill mastered by the staff at El Mansour.
