Time Out Eating & Drink Guide 2009-2010
“Starters range from traditional briouats and zaalouk to fusion dishes like scrumptiously sweet sea-fresh scallops with beetroot, and mixed seafood with falafel in a light saffron sauce. The usual tagines and couscous rise to new heights here. Our chicken couscous was fabulous: marinated cumin-infused grilled breast with earthily spiced broth and tender veg; harissa with coriander; and astonishingly light, almost silkily fine couscous.
An experience to savour”
