Going to the sultan's tent is an experience. And It is totally worth it. I moved away from Calgary five years ago. Before I left I decided to try all the restaurants I wanted to try but hadn't before I left. I tried the Sultan's Tent. It was an experience. One that was both culturally and culinarily beautiful. So back in Calgary five years later ... it was my first choice for my dinner birthday celebration with a few close friends. We were not disappointed. Three of five of us had the sultans feast. It is costly (about $55) but totally ample food to split with somebody else or indulge yourself. You won't be disappointed. The lentil soup to start was savoury and great. We tried all the phyllo pastry appies which were good. Recommend the Bastille royale and the lamb sausage one. The entries.... what can I say. YUM!!!! When I moved away I started to make my own tagine in my crock pot because I loved it so much and
Knew I couldn't get tagine in Victoria. But this was a humble reminder I am just a Canadian who likes to eat and cook trying to make an authentic Moroccan dish. I had the sweet lamb tagine (honey almond and plums) to try it out. Also sampled the fish, The spicy lamb, vegetarian and a lovely couscous with shrimp. Good to share if you are with a group. The dessert, braewat, was lovely and very well paired with the Moroccan mint tea. The whole experience of sitting in the uniquely decorated booth. The attentive and Moroccan dressed server who was knowledgable and made the experience so lovely. The rinsing of hands with orange blossom infused water before and after the meal was just beautiful. Be prepared to treat yourself at this lovely restaurant. And just experience a little taste of morocco in Calgary!!! So glad I made it back and will plan to do so again for my next visit to Calgary. Learn a little about the Moroccan culture and sample some amazing food.
