We saw this place on Yelp and love Moroccan food, so we were excited to try it out!\n\nWe came here with a few friends on Friday night, and it wasn't very busy. We were seated immediately and the service was very prompt. We decided to order family style so we can all try different things. \n\nWe shared -\n\nSpreads - each of them were awesome. Especially the olive tapanade. It is served with fresh pita bread - probably the best pita bread I've ever had. \nCalamari Steak - This was my least favorite. I like fried calamari, but I've never had a steak. It was okay. It was very solid and it really doesn't have a flavor to it. The sauce with it was a good spicy - seemed to be wasabi sauce. \nBraised Short Ribs - this is a sweeter dish. The meat was very tender, flavorful and it had delicious apricots in it.\nMechoui Roasted Lamb - This was my favorite. The lamb is roasted for 4 hours and it just melts in your mouth because it's so tender. The flavoring was awesome. \nSpicy Shrimp - this was my next favorite. The sauce and spice...it was so good. And yes, pretty spicy. \nKefta Tagine - These are meatballs that are very good in a cumin sauce with kind of poached eggs. \n\n\nThe waiter recommended their Moroccan mojito type drink - so we all had that. He made them pretty strong and they were very good and refreshing. The only thing is, it is very sweet...so it makes for a nice little headache later if you drink too much as he warned. \n\nOverall, we loved this place and will be going back. There were a couple of waiters working and they were both very tentative and helpful. The food was awesome. Best I've had in town for Moroccan. The only thing I feel lacking is the atmosphere. It's nice, but I feel it needs to be darker and more red...I've been to a few different places and they're always very dark, red everywhere and the belly dancers are very much featured. Which, they do have a very good belly dancer, but it just seems like it's just lacking a tad in theme. \nBut, that for me is not anything to steer you from this place.\n\nTry it out and help this business grow!!
