About
This traditional Moroccan restaurant prides itself on its authenticity, which manifests itself in the menu, and in the plush, almost oppressive red-and-gold décor. Live Andalusian or Moroccan music is featured Thursday through Saturday. Appetizers include matfoul (strips of beef with saffron) and various salads and soups, the richest of which is the harira (tomatoes, chick peas, lentils and spices). Main courses should tempt even most conservative palates: chicken, beef, lamb, merguez sausage and seafood are presented in fairly conventional forms, with subtle spicing.
