This is what you're greeted with when you first enter the Moroccan Castle.\n\nOur server was extremely patient and friendly as we mulled over the menu over and over. We finally decided to start with the Briq of Shrimp ($7.50) This appy is a light phyllo pastry filled with shrimp, spiced with coriander and a touch of ginger. This appetizer is served with a wedge of lemon. Just a squeeze of it gives it a nice kick and it pulls the flavours together. \n\nFor our main dish, we had the Couscous Royal for Two. ($42.00) This amazing dis is cooked with lamb, beef sausage, chicken, shrimp, and cabbage all wonderfully spiced with saffron, ginger, and other magical ingredients that gave this dish its robust flavour. The mild spiciness sneaks up on you but not enough to distract you from the dish itself. The lamb and chicken are kabob-style cut and is surprisingly tender with the flavours running throughout each bite.\n\nI strongly recommend this place as the perfect place for a romantic evening out and/or to get away from Calgary without leaving the city. The staff pampers you throughout your stay - including rinsing your hands with rose water before your meal. They encourage you to eat with your hands or, if you're too shy, you have the options of using utensils. \n\nThis place is exotic enough for the unadventurous and just plain delicious and refreshing for the rest of us."^^ .
