Been wanting to try this Moroccan restaurant for quite some time since it's so close to the convention center. So decided to seize the opportunity on my last evening and was not disappointed!
Was quite intrigued by the décor from the get-go. Felt like I was sitting inside a lavish tent awaiting a sumptuous banquet. All of the furnishing, wall panels and light fixtures were so beautiful and ornate as if I have traveled to a distant land.
Our party of two ordered the 6 course Moroccan feast which includes the Moroccan style shrimp scampi, harira soup, sampler of hummus, zaaluk(eggplant/tomato dip), olives, cucumbers and carrots, beef kabob, couscous with chicken and a beautiful dessert pastry filled with fruits and nuts.The prixe fixe meal also came with mint team and homemade bread.
Did I mention live belly dancing? The lady who performed several of the songs appeared in different costumes and boy was she talented!
We were devouring the bread and the first entree - shrimp scampi as soon as they came out. It was absolutely yummy! Actually everything was just simply delicious!
We had to eat the first 4 dishes without any utensils which was really fun because the bread acted as a soaking and scooping element. I was quite relieved when forks appeared for the cous cous. I think that would have been challenging to use just hands and fingers.
All in all, we were so stuff by the time the cous cous was served that we almost couldn't eat the dessert. The dessert was so good that we managed to eat half of it.
What a great restaurant. I definitely will return.
