First of all, you can not complain about the decor. It is stunning and if you haven't been to Morocco, this place will give you a little taste of what it is like. Opulent fabrics, crafts, vases and art work cover almost every inch of this place creating a cozy and romantic ambiance. From the vibe, it is fantastic for a group as well as one on one with a honey. Drapery delicately hangs from the ceiling and elegantly cascades around your cushioned booths which are very comfortable and relaxed. A nice array of Arabic music plays in the background to complete the setting. A perfect environment to casually enjoy our Caesars which by the way, they add their own special harissa seasoning to.
Before the food arrives, they bring you a lovely brass kettle and basin to wash your hands with, it is not a full blown soap and lather thing, just a kettle that is gently poured over your hands and a little basin to catch the water. I wish the water was a bit warmer but it was still a nice little thing that you don't usually see at your run of the mill restaurant.
To start, we ordered an appetizer platter with a trio of phyllo pastries which are stuffed with your choice of three fillings. We chose the spinach/cheese, shrimp, and eggplant. The eggplant was divine, but my hubby hated the spinach one because the cheese was quite strong if you are not a fan of goat cheese. It is a huge a platter (6 large pieces) and I wish I knew that before we ordered it because by the time the main came I was stuffed!
Our mains were also quite delicious with exception to the optional bread that we ordered for the chicken and veg tagine. I found the bread too dense and fell apart very quickly and for $4 it is essentially a big heavy bun cut into quarters, next time we will order the rice. I ordered a veg and chicken couscous tagine and thought it needed a little more sauce for the couscous as it was just a tad too dry for my liking but the flavours were hands down delicious and very thoughtfully prepared.
I would definitely come back! The menu has many options and all of them sound more delicious than the next, just make sure you leave your house hungry, the servings are generous and will please a rumbly tummy!
Our tab came out to about $85, and we didn't have coffee or dessert, but I would think that with those two extras you will be looking at a c note for a romantic dinner for two.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
