"At Mourad, the dramatic dining room practically sparkles under the large modern chandelier, and the menu, inspired by chef and owner Mourad Lahlou’s Moroccan heritage, features perfectly executed servings of raw oysters, kanpachi, duck basteeya, and hand-rolled couscous, often using thematic accents of preserved lemon, olives, and Moroccan spices. Not to be missed are the la’acha, or family-style dishes; diners can feast on generous portions of whole snapper, lamb shoulder, and chicken, served with four sides. The long L-shaped marble bar also serves delicate cocktails inspired by the Moroccan spices found in the food." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
