| - Wow, I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Moroccan food everyday. I had my first tajine dish awhile back in the wilderness of Big Sur, CA and now an all vegetarian lunch in Mt. Lebanon. Obviously, this food niche is filling out every corner of the states.
First of all, Kous Kous' atmosphere is very inviting, the colors and lighting definitely take you away from Pgh. Chef Khila even came out to ask us about our meal, and give us tips on preserving lemons and finding Moroccan spices in the Strip.
The food was absolutely delicious and fulfilling. I'm not easily satiated, so a vegetarian meal that fills me is astonishing. We had appetizers of eggplant zaalouk, hummus, and tak-tooka (peppers and olives). All we're served cold and complemented each other well. We shared the veggie couscous for a main hot dish, and it had a very nice blend of spices and a WIDE variety of grilled vegetables. To add a local element - we saw an Amish farmer come into the kitchen to talk produce sales with the chef! Is Pittsburgh becoming a bastion of local buying, vegetarianism, and cross culture dining?!?!?
I love it, keep up the good work Kous Kous.
