Enjoyed another delicious Moroccan dinner where the chefs added and refined some of their dishes. Lawrence joined me and we started off with their Hummus and semolina bread, along with the flavourful Lamb Merguez sausages that are house-made.

The Classic Moroccan Harira soup recipe has been refined and it was delicious, we had them split it so that Lawrence and I could share a bowl. The Beet orange salad with feta has been refined and is glorious (you can ask to make it vegan without the feta).

The Duck pastilla is a new menu addition and it was divine, fine pastry that was loaded with tasty spiced pulled lamb confit.

The White bean stew is a classic and one that I often like to have.

The Lamb shoulder tagine with saffron, prunes, and almonds served with couscous is a new addition to the menu and one of their most popular; it was very good.

The Lemon and olive halal chicken tagine with saffron served with vegetables was refined slightly and is another signature dish.

For dessert and then have many different dessert selections on offer nightly; we tried a selection of cookies that included the Coconut cookies, Walnut cookies and Almond briwat.

We then had the indulgent Amlou Chocolate cake and the smooth Lemon orange cheesecake. Paired up with their hot Moroccan mint tea tableside.
