| - I just returned from one of the most amazing dishes in Madison. I had to write about it. The lamb tagine at Marrakesh may be the best entree I've ordered in this city. In my opinion, you're either a lamb person or you're not. For those who are, this is a must-try dish. Like many entrees at Marrakesh, it arrives in a clay tagine with a cone-shaped top that the server removes. Underneath is a very warm plate brimming with tender pieces of lamb and a perfectly finished medley of carrots, potatoes and peas. My wife had the chicken couscous, which she loved. The "Flavor of Sahara" bar--with dates, nuts and sesame seeds and date syrup--is a great way to end the dinner. Our waitress was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The service here has been consistently good in our experience. The prices are admittedly a bit high, but the quality is superb. This one's a keeper.
6/12/2014 I had forgotten about my prior review and just came back from a fantastic meal at Marrakesh. I thought, "let's write a review." So, another year of visits later. I have tried the vegetarian bastilla and love it: crispy on the outside, bursting with delicious vegetables on the inside. My wife loves the fish tagine. The mohamara (a pepper spread) is also very good, although I prefer mine a bit spicier. There's just nothing like Marrakesh in Madison.
