| - A Solid 4 - great attempt at authenticity and service was great.
An authentic morrorccan meal with tagines and the fixin's are hard to find, we ventured their 3 course Winterlicious menu for $25 and we were not disappointed!
First off - the bring an OLIVE TEPANADE with fresh warm pita bread, which was deelicious... Everything tasted fresh and made on the spot.
STARTERS: I had the GRILLED CALAMARI - which had the best flavor, it was well-done and wasn't chewy, the calamari just melted in your mouth. The other starter we had was the BEEF AND LAMB KAFTA KABOB, which tasted like a caseless ground sausage - filled with flavor and laid in saice with fresh pita bread.
MAINS: We both had the LAMB AND SHIRAZ FIG TAGINE - this was off the hook. The lamb was well- done, just fell OFF the bone, meat was tender and filled with flavor. It was served with Couscous and bokchoy. The flavors marinated together really well and the spices were fresh to taste.
DESSERT: I had the recommended POACHED FIGS, ALMOND SYRUP AND YOGURT. This was all right, the yogurt was very thick and creamy, but the figs were a good sweet kick - good for someone that is looking for not such sweet sweets. The clear dessert winner was the WALNUT AND PEAR STUFFED PHYLLO in HONEY DATE SYRUP - which was just divine. The warm, light flakey pastry was submerged in the sweet honey sauce, topped with fruits and nuts, this dish was to die for/
All and all, this was a great dining experience. I am not sure if everything was pre-made but the food was super fast. The service was great, the waitress was really attentive. I would totally come back again and taste the menu outside of what Winterlicious had to offer.
MUST GO.
