 You're thinking of Marrakesh, at 561 Cambridge St.  I was there a few
 months ago, and I must say I was underwhelmed.  We ordered the fixed
 menu; there was a huge amount of food, but it was mostly very bland.
 And the seating in the back-room--authentic though it may be--was
 amazingly uncomfortable.

 OTOH, they may have gotten their liquor license since then, so at least
 there will be a way to manage these issues :-)

 For my money, I'd head a few blocks closer to the river and go to that
 excellent Afghani restaurant:

   Helmand
   143 1st St, Cambridge, MA, 02142
