Here’s a 1977 clip showing people eating Moroccan food at the Marrakech restaurant, located in San Francisco.

The clip begins with Moroccan music. One of the eaters tells the camera his party was given towels to eat their meal since eating Moroccan-style involves using one’s hands.

A waitress pours water onto the hands of everyone at the table. They have their hands hanging over a large metal bowl. 

We see close-ups of plates of food and members of the party eating with their hands and taking sips of wine. Everyone looks eager and happy to be eating. One plate is filled with steamed or boiled chicken. Another plate has the chicken bones. Another plate has a pancake-like food. Wine is poured.

A male waiter fills a glass with hot tea.

An Asian-looking waitress sprays a mist over the party. As an aside, in Morocco and at Moroccan restaurants, it is a cultural practice to offer guests a fragrant mist, often rose water or orange blossom water, towards the end of a meal. This is part of the Moroccan hospitality ritual and is intended to refresh and honor guests. A server or host may gently sprinkle or spray the scented water from a decorative container, such as a "Tass ou Chellal," onto the hands or around the guests as a gesture of respect and to leave a pleasant fragrance. This custom is rooted in Morocco’s rich tradition of hospitality and is often seen in private homes, riads, or upscale restaurants aiming to provide an authentic cultural experience.
