| - We saw this place on Yelp and love Moroccan food, so we were excited to try it out!
We came here with a few friends on Friday night, and it wasn't very busy. We were seated immediately and the service was very prompt. We decided to order family style so we can all try different things.
We shared -
Spreads - each of them were awesome. Especially the olive tapanade. It is served with fresh pita bread - probably the best pita bread I've ever had.
Calamari Steak - This was my least favorite. I like fried calamari, but I've never had a steak. It was okay. It was very solid and it really doesn't have a flavor to it. The sauce with it was a good spicy - seemed to be wasabi sauce.
Braised Short Ribs - this is a sweeter dish. The meat was very tender, flavorful and it had delicious apricots in it.
Mechoui Roasted Lamb - This was my favorite. The lamb is roasted for 4 hours and it just melts in your mouth because it's so tender. The flavoring was awesome.
Spicy Shrimp - this was my next favorite. The sauce and spice...it was so good. And yes, pretty spicy.
Kefta Tagine - These are meatballs that are very good in a cumin sauce with kind of poached eggs.
The waiter recommended their Moroccan mojito type drink - so we all had that. He made them pretty strong and they were very good and refreshing. The only thing is, it is very sweet...so it makes for a nice little headache later if you drink too much as he warned.
Overall, we loved this place and will be going back. There were a couple of waiters working and they were both very tentative and helpful. The food was awesome. Best I've had in town for Moroccan. The only thing I feel lacking is the atmosphere. It's nice, but I feel it needs to be darker and more red...I've been to a few different places and they're always very dark, red everywhere and the belly dancers are very much featured. Which, they do have a very good belly dancer, but it just seems like it's just lacking a tad in theme.
But, that for me is not anything to steer you from this place.
Try it out and help this business grow!!
