| - This is a place i'll definitely remember for the rest of my life as I had an amazing experience here!
I went with a large group of friends and we pretty much ordered everything on the menu, from the starters to mains(except sandwiches/desserts).
I don't know much about Moroccon food, but I can tell when the food is good, and boy was the food GOOD!
FOOD:
Everything we ordered was good, and flavourful.
The highlight for me was probably Chicken Lemon Tagine, Chicken Bastilla and Lamb With prunes.
Lemon Chicken Tagine($12) - Fall off the bone tender! intense flavour and large portions. This is something everybody would like, can't go wrong with ordering this one.
Chicken Bastilla - Chicken stuffed crispy pastries, I have never seen it happening before, Chicken and pastry is like made for each other.
Lamb with Prunes - I don't know how someone came up with this idea, but man was it a good idea. Again, something that sounds doesn't go together but the contrasting taste of lamb and prune was just PERFECT!
I loved the Shakshouka from the starters, but we ordered pretty much everything else on the starter menu and everything else was pretty solid as well!
The owner gave us desserts on the house and it was DELICIOUS!!! don't know the name of it sadly, and apparently the dessert menu is different every day.
Location and Decor:
Plaza appears to be uninviting and its a little harder to get into, it appears that there isn't a lot going on here so the place can easily be missed (hint - it's right after petro canada, google is wrong)
However, what you wouldn't expect is such a great environment inside, it would make you forget that you're sitting in Canada!
The place was decorated with Moroccon stuff, Owner was showing us the whole place and giving short stories about how he got everything from Morocco, including original paintings.
Service:
This is where the place lacks a little - service was extremely slow, there was a huge gap between starters and mains and we literally got hungry after finishing our starters and sitting for soo long. The place right now isn't equipped to deal with full house or a lot of people, as they are definitely under staffed. There was only one server and the rest was kitchen staff, and while the place may not need more than one server, that one server was also helping in the kitchen so there was technically nobody looking after the customers for a long time.
I understand that this place is in it's infancy, so it will take some time to figure things out, and I hope they figure it out because it wouldn't be cool if people miss out on this place because of their slow service.
TL;DR: Had an amazing experience, great ethnic food, lovely decor, very slow service. 10/10 would go again.
P.S Everything is halal here.
