Moroccan cuisine has always been a mystery to me as I've never been to Morocco and never have tried any dishes. I'm part of a meetup group and they had a Moroccan event with Belly Dancers and Tarot Card Reading. I wonder what my fortune is. So I decided to attend and see what the Moroccan experience is all about.
Once I entered the front entrance, I felt immediately like I was in Morocco. The decor with various colored drapes and Moroccan castle like curves inside the restaurant, waiters dressed in clothes from the culture adds to that feel. It has 3 large rooms. We were able to reserve a large, more private area that seats over 40 people. Our event had over 40 and it was just the right fit.
Their specials are amazing. We took advantage of their Stimulus Package Special which was only $9.25 and includes dinner and show. WHAT A DEAL!!
They also have a nice bar with many signature cocktails and Moroccan beer.
For dinner, I ordered the special sea bass fish they had that night with Couscous. My friend had Rabbit. Both dishes were tasty. I tried the Moroccan beer as well. Nice and light.
Then on to the belly dancing show. I've never seen belly dancers dance before so I was excited. They had both a male and a female dancer. They were very skilled in their craft and did a great job of getting crowd participation. Many of us got up and actually danced with the dancers.
Tarot Card Reading was available as well. That's a nice treat. I'm sure many would love to know what lies ahead.
Overall, it was a very fun and enjoyable experience. I would definitely come back and bring a group of friends or even my family as there were family there to experience a bit of Morocco.
