| - I was a little nervous when a friend booked a reservation here due to the reviews which I don't always rely on & I was happy I followed my gut instinct on this one! I would like to point out that they are no longer open during lunch hours. This is a place you go to enjoy an amazing meal without having to rush.
The decor is beautiful & welcoming as was the staff. I started off with a Tangier pimm's & it was delicious & refreshing. My friend ordered the casapolitain & it was hella more enjoyable than a regular cosmo, not as sweet & quite refreshing.
I have a serious allergy to a particular ingredient & they were extremely accommodating. Everything is made fresh on premise, breads included. We ordered the 5 appetizers salads, hummus,bell pepper with walnuts, roasted eggplant,beets & carrot salad), 2 fixed priced mains & I had the braised beef tangia.
When I get salads, I always tend to prefer 1 or 2 but I loved all of them equally. They were served with warm muffaletta & a delicious crepe style bread. My friend & my beloved shared the chicken tagine & they loved it, I would have tried some but I preferred not ending up in the hospital (I pick & choose my battles!). It came with a mixed vegetable coucous. I ordered the braised beef tangine, it was so tender, flavourful & amazing. Since they can't cook it like they would in Morocco, they use the sous vide technic & it works beautifully. We were full by this point but we had desserts still coming, we couldn't let them go to waste, right?
The lemon pie was made with a Moroccan almond cookie base & hard meringues, that lemon curd is to die for. The chocolate kif was also lovely. My least favourite was the spiced milk pot, the texture is silky but I'm not an anise fan. The presentation of all the dishes was lovely.
I'll be back & bring a few friends with me!
