Couscous Morrocan Cousine

We decided to drop by the Barclay Farms complex to see what they had to offer for dinner on a weekday, saw Couscous, and thought, "Mmm, Moroccan! Haven't had THAT deliciousness in a while!"

We sat down in a dimly lit space that smelled of sweet hookah. The food was excellent and delicious, but I supposed that they expect most customers to indulge in hookah to pass the time, because it seemed at bit slow to come out. Maybe our server was new, though. It was a weekday, after all, so they probably weren't planning on having a lot of customers. The place certainly seems as though they intend for customers to smoke hookah; the "tables" are more like couches surrounding knee-height coffee tables.

Prices for portions were well done. Great place to share food. I loved the Moroccan salad sampler and the couscous dishes. The salmon tajine was great, moist, pink with just a bit of char on the edges. The salad sampler came in varying levels of pickled-ness, but each dish was distinctly different from one another. There were three dishes, including a spicy eggplant pate, vinegar-marinated chopped soft carrots, and cucumber & onion Greek-style lemoned-vinegared-olive oiled salad. We really loved the Harrira soup that came with our entrée! Had I known how much I would have loved that spiced tomato goodness, I would have ordered TWO servings!

Well ventilated, which is important considering it's a hookah bar. We didn't smoke, but the next day, our throats were a bit sore.

On the real, Moroccan food isn't the most common in these parts, and the quality was delicious in spite of the wait. Check it out if you want some quality couscous and tajine.

We had a fabulous 10 course dinner!   Would highly recommend this for a fun night out.....make a reservation!

There were flies all over the place.  Food was ok
