What to Order for takeout from Midtown Global Market | Eater Twin Cities

"Since we are stuck at home, why not have the space filled with beguiling scents like rosewater and turmeric? Moroccan Flavors’ signature dish is tagine- a traditional stew slow cooked in beautiful stoneware whose unique shape allows for exceptionally tender and fragrant meats and veggies." - Alex Lodner

I used to live in the Mpls area so I still visit my family often. I needed vegetables! My husband and I went to Morocco a couple of yrs ago and loved it. I was pleasantly surprised to see a Moroccan restaurant in the Global Market! The food was divine. The variety of vegetables was an awesome surprise. The gentleman who suggested food and waited on us was pleasant. We ordered the lamb shank and vegetables. Along with the chicken and grain bowl. My Mom loves pickled beets so she was ecstatic to eat them. All of our food was tasty and well presented. There were 3 of us and we only ordered two entrees and had leftovers so their portions are hearty. I'd come back here in a heartbeat.

Its our first time eating Moroccan food. We love it! We tried shrimp Tagine and Lamb Tagine. Love the sampling salad with several flavors and refreshing. Mint tea is refreshing too. Delicious food, good portion, reasonable price. Owner is a chef. He is friendly. They have 6-7tables. The location is a bit hidden in the corner. It may not be obvious if you walk pass too quickly

Moroccan Flavors – Minneapolis An excellent find! The meal was absolutely delicious — flavorful appetizers, perfectly cooked couscous, and a rich, satisfying dessert. Special thanks to Hassan, whose warm and friendly welcome made the experience even better. If you’re in Minneapolis, don’t miss Moroccan Flavors — you won’t be disappointed! A French family 😉.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Got the chicken sandwhich and a couple sides and it was all so delicious! The guy working there was so nice and even brought us some free mint tea which was really tasty. Update: I've come back here several times and everything on the menu is just fantastic! The tagine dishes are so flavorful. The chicken was juicy and tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. One of my favorite places to eat in the city!

Our recent family lunch at Moroccan Flavors, located in Midtown Global Market, felt like stepping into a warm Moroccan embrace. The soothing blue décor, inspired by Chefchaouen, created a calm oasis—a welcome contrast to the lively energy of the surrounding food hall. The open layout, with both group and counter seating, offered comfort and flexibility for families and solo diners alike. We began with a sampler of Mediterranean salads: spicy cauliflower, roasted beets, marinated peppers, and more, served with toasted baguette. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and meticulously prepared, and the variety kept everyone at the table engaged. For our main courses, we chose the lamb shank tagine, chicken tagine, and beef couscous. The lamb shank stood out as especially memorable—tender, deeply seasoned, and exceptionally satisfying. The chicken tagine featured preserved lemon, olives, and aromatic turmeric rice, perfectly balancing brightness and warmth. The beef couscous was hearty and comforting, with generous portions and rich flavor. The staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Chef Hassan and his team welcomed us warmly and offered helpful recommendations, treating us like guests in their own home. The hospitality was genuine, and the service was efficient without feeling rushed. There was a sense of pride and personal touch in every aspect of the meal. On the practical side, prices are reasonable, with sandwiches and tagines in the $12–$16 range. The menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, making it easy for families with different dietary needs. Food is served quickly, which is convenient when dining with children or on a tight schedule. There are a few things to consider. The Midtown Global Market can get crowded and noisy, especially during peak hours, so it might not be the best setting for quiet conversation. Seating is shared and casual, and the environment is more bustling than formal. Some popular items, like the lamb shank tagine, are made in limited batches, so it’s best to arrive early for the full selection. If you plan to visit, I recommend arriving before the lunch rush, trying a variety of salads to sample the mezze, and ordering the lamb shank tagine if it’s available. The hot mint tea is a perfect way to end the meal, and it’s worth exploring the rest of the market afterward for a complete experience. Overall, our visit to Moroccan Flavors was both delicious and welcoming. The culinary quality, attentive service, and vibrant setting made for a memorable family meal. It’s an excellent choice for anyone seeking authentic Moroccan cuisine in Minneapolis, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a flavorful and family-friendly dining experience.

Great hospitality from the owner, he welcomed us warmly and gave excellent recommendations. We had a great time and will definitely refer family and return if we’re ever back in the state. All halal meat & chicken.

Absolutely delicious and authentic! I recently visited Moroccan Flavors at Midtown Global Market, and it was a wonderful experience. The vegetable couscous was incredibly flavorful and satisfying — perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. You can really taste the love and tradition in every bite. The tagines looked amazing too! The staff were kind and welcoming, and the service was fast and friendly. If you’re looking for a halal-friendly option or just want to try something new and tasty, this place is a must. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Moroccan comfort food!

I don't know how many years I have been here, but suffice it to say that since coming here before the pandemic, I have been in love with this place, and post-pandemic is no exception. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the entire Twin Cities, and everytime I come to the Midtown Global Market, despite many choices, I would almost exclusively come here for food. I have been an avid fan of the beef couscous because the beef was very tenderly cooked and extremely tasty. All the vegetables and the couscous along with the beef were able to provide another layer of flavor if one wished for it. I have also tried the lamb shank tagine before, and the tenderness of the lamb was no exception. Coming here has never failed to be an amazing experience. The owner has also been extremely nice everytime, showing lots of care and hospitality. Once after finishing a plate, seeing that I finished it very fast, he provided me with another plate on the house. I thought it was very wholesome. Easily a food spot I would take every visitor to if they come to the Twin Cities!

Very nice owner. I know I should be talking about the food but the way the owner treated us was like family. Yes, we had to pay but still, it was nice. The food was great. It is unique and full of new flavors. We really enjoyed it all. There was a lot of things in our plates we ate and do not know the official name of, but they tasted good, and I think that is the important thing, right?

It definitely transported me back to Morocco. I finally got to try Moroccan flavors because my mom was told they had really good lamb here. I brought her here for lunch and we both enjoyed our meals. My mom isn't very open to trying new cuisines, so I was not expecting her to be amazed but she was! Service was great, the owner is very kind to his clients and definitely appreciative. We got there during lunch time, so he had many orders and due to making us wait a bit longer he brought us a sampler plate. Honestly, we didn't mind waiting but we appreciated the appetizer. Mom ordered the lamb shank tagine and the meat was perfectly cooked, melts in your mouth and lightly seasoned to perfection. Comes with vegetables and cooked with lots of care/love it seems. I ordered the beef couscous and oh my! It was SO good, finally beef that I didn't have to chew so much. The beef also melted in my mouth, I actually finished my entire plate! We will definitely come back soon!

Every time I come to this food market, I stop by Moroccan Flavors. The owner is always welcoming with a smile and the food is delicious! The dish is packed with flavor and I love the balance of the protein, vegetables, and carbs. There is a variety of things to try here. Haven't had a bad bite! Highly recommend visiting this place.

Moroccan flavors is amazing! So fresh, lots of interesting flavors, and you feel pretty healthy eating it. The orange slices were a great addition to the meal. Moroccan Flavors is located in a busy food hall, but service was quick. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I have three words for you: Moroccan...Lamb...Shank. Period. This is the only place within 100 miles...well I don't know even if you can get this in Chicago...Anyways, if you are a world foodie this is your pilgrimage. No joke. The chef is way cool. His wife is a baker and they're planning to start selling her creations in the same space soon. Well we can't wait. Yes, get the Lamb Shank Tagine (also known as Tajine). It comes with the lamb, rice, and these delectable garnishes like olives and other pickled things that just go pow in your mouth. Of course there a little bits of raisins or currants...well little sweet things. Mix up your bites to get a party in your mouth. The lamb is so tender. Tagine is a slow cooking process with the clay vessel called by the same name. I think they will have this dish in heaven. Oh they will validate your parking. So you can order a second helping of Tagine.

The lamb shank tagine with turmeric rice, couscous, and potato salad was pretty tasty. What makes this even better was that I received the food relatively quickly after ordering. However, the turmeric rice could use a little more flavor. Overall, this place deserves four and a half stars.

Amazing food. We had the lamb shank tagine with all the salads, and my husband and I loved it. They were very friendly and you could tell take a lot of pride in their food. Absolutely delicious.

The food, service, and ambience were excellent. The one thing I wished for, though, was for real individual plates rather than paper plates and tempered glass for the mint tea instead of cardboard cups. The serving plates were "real", so I wondered why the individual plates were not.

What a wonderful experience! Yes, eating at Moroccan Flavors is more than the meal itself...it's an experience! For the welcome, untraditional dining area setup (makes you forget you're in a food hall) to the warmth and service of Chef Hassan and his staff. I always feel welcome here. Plus the food and mint tea are sublime! I had a chicken couscous tagine that I highly recommend!

This place is excellent every time I go! And it's healthy! Today I got the vegetable tangine, it had some dried fruit that had been rehydrated on top. I feel like that really made the dish! The squash was cooked to perfection, and the artichokes and mushrooms added great flavor and texture to the dish. The portions are huge too which means I can have the rest for lunch tomorrow!

Today I am eating the Salmon and Shrimp plate from #MoroccanFlavors at the Midtown Global Market. I just had to try this plate after I saw my colleagues have this plate time and time again! This plate was fresh and flavorful! Chefs Hassan and Raja provide the best customer service. 5 stars! If you haven't had a chance to stop by the global market recently, they have done a complete refresh of the space. Bright colors. Signage everywhere. And there are amazing events out on by the MGM team. Stop by and order this plate! I highly recommend.

This was my first time to the Midtown Global Market and there are so many choices to pick from. With the recommendation of my father-in-law and also security employee at the market I chose to eat at Moroccan Flavors. This is my first time having food from the Moroccan culture but would highly recommend this establishment. The flavors were bountiful, the display was as though I was eating at the home of a long lost relative in Morocco and the service was very pleasant. I am normally a creature of habit and choose establishments that I've been at before but I'm very happy that I chose this flavorful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great experience at Moroccan Flavors, from the welcoming customer service from the owner, Hassan, to the delicious lamb tagine. The mint tea was delicious and you have to try the orange slices with rose water. So good!

My wife and I visited our son and grandkids in Minneapolis. We are self- admitted foodies from NYC and often seek out food courts to hopefully find terrific eats. After walking through the entire food hall, we settled on Moroccan Flavors. We were drawn by the delicious smells and terrific tagine menu. The owner Hassan had an inviting smile and immediately demonstrated warm enthusiasm for his food service. We tried a few dishes but the standout was clearly the braise lamb shank - perfectly seasoned and fall-off-the-bone tender. The accompanying rice and vegetable sides were perfect complements. As Hassan served the veggies he assured us that the dish was vegan. I replied, "so the lamb was clearly grain fed as well?" We shared a laugh over his vegan lamb. Highly recommended.

This was a lovely find in a food-hall-type setting but well worth it; the owner was great; very friendly and accommodating. The lamb was cooked perfectly - moist and fall-off-the-bone delicious. Having been to Morocco previously and not having any options close to my home, this was great to bring back memories.

For my first visit to the market, I decided to eat here. The lamb shank tagine was AMAZING and so tender. I chatted with the chef and she was incredibly nice. You can tell she loves what she does through her demeanor and her food! I would definitely return again and recommend it to anyone visiting the market.

Food was AMAZING! Even my mom who doesn't like anything loved our meal. Portions were huge. We split 2 meals between 4 people and still couldn't finish everything. We got the chicken couscous and beef tangine. The beef was soo tender! And we had to get an extra side of apricots and prunes as the entire party loved them!

This was one of the tastiest (and healthiest) meals while crossing the country on a road trip. Every meal was an outdoor picnic and after searching "healthy" on Yelp, Moroccan Flavors was the clear pick for our picnic in Minneapolis. It also didn't hurt that they are located in the charming International Market. This meal was a beautiful combination of flavor and nutrients. I ordered a vegetarian platter with couscous and several veggie dishes like beets, carrots and so on. The thing I especially loved about the veggie sides was the variety of pickled vs. roasted. I'm still smiling thinking about those pickled veggies... It's also worth noting that Moroccan Flavors offers some traditional Moroccan desserts like orange slices with cinnamon (brought back memories of my trips to Morocco!). My whole meal was under $10 and you could tell it was a labor of love. Great news is, while you're visiting Moroccan Flavors you can check out the other stalls in the market. Who doesn't love a progressive meal?

Be sure to check out the newest restaurant at Global Market. This yumminess was filling but did not feel heavy. Each dish had a a wide variety of flavors. We especially loved the lamb tangine with a prune, apricot and almond compote.

Injest is not illegal Injest?: Yes, now go and ingest some Moroccan food Some people like Jazz Flavors, or Big Band Flavors. Me, I prefer More-rockin Flavors. And that's why I came to this stall at the market. Very enjoyable and tasty Moroccan food inside the Hipster-central Midtown Global Market. One of the best things about this place is that in most hipster or trendy or anglicized areas you won't really find typical Moroccan Cuisine - and if you do it will be very expensive. But this is affordable and it is tasty. Now it's not the best Moroccan I've had (neither food nor person) and the stuff in Paris and of course in North Africa itself (yes, I've been to Morocco and Tunisia, which makes singing an Arabic tune-easier), and all over the place for that matter I have found some pretty damn good ones. But this is definitely the best African food I've had so far in Minnesota - and yes I know, isn't it crazy that there is African food in Minnesota! Moroccan food - like most Arabic food - is a heavenly, perfect cuisine all unto itself and I highly recommend you come and give it a try. Very tasty and very unique and probably the highlight of the whole Midtown Global Market for me. And don't eat too much, or you'll end up looking like a cow, and then you'll be a Mooroccan. And don't hiss at whoever steals your couscous, or you'll be a Meowroccan. And if you hate it, it's Meh-roccan. And if wise men come bearing couscous, it's Myrrhoccan. And if me and Barbie eat it before bed tonight, we follow it up with Mish-roccan. And we put the rockin' in the Mish-rockin.

Wow... speechless. We have eaten at most of the places in the Midtown Global Market but it's been a while since we've been there. Moroccan Flavors sounded awesome and it didn't let us down. They have a really cute space in the market. We ordered the lamb shank tagine and were floored by both the flavors and the service. My favorite type of meals are where the plate is beautiful and everything compliments one another. That was this plate. It was perfect for sharing as well. The lamb was fall off the bone tender and the lamb and gravy was flavorful and crave-worthy. It came with rice, chick peas, cabbage, carrots and apricot. Service was fast and friendly. We will be back! Pair this with an iced mint tea with fresh mint and lemon. It was very refreshing! Yummy yummy! Thanks again for great service and food!

Moroccan Flavors is inside the Midtown Global Market and has been here since April 2016. Moroccan food traditionally is a blend of different cuisines and cultures since the country is found on the northern tip of Africa where you have the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea that has influences from Europe and the Mediterranean. Common spices include cumin, saffron, turmic, cardamon, ginger and paprika. A well known dish of Moroccan food is a tagine, which is a delicious slow cooked stew with some type of meat (typically lamb or chicken), vegetables, dried fruit, nuts and spices. This dish is named after the vessle that it is cooked in, which is a conical clay pot it cooks in to give you that soft, fall of the bone, tender meat, delicious flavor and aroma. My husband and I decided to grab an early dinner/ late lunch here on a Saturday, a little before 4 pm. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Lamb Tagine, $12.95 prior to tax- Braised lamb shank, served with carrots, yam and garbanzo beans on a bed of turmeric flavored rice. That lamb was outstanding and fall off the bone incredibly tender. The lamb was flavorful but allowed for the nature gamey flavors of the lamb to shine through. The portion size of this dish is plenty for 1 person. The rice was tender and so were the vegetables. I loved the variety of sides in this dish. Vegetable Tagine, $8.95 prior to tax- Not that I am vegetarian, but since my husband ordered lamb, I thought it would be nice to also share a vegetable dish. This dish had carrots, cabbage, garbanzo beans, marinated olives and some other kind of greens that was served on a bed of turmeric flavored rice. I truly loved all of the flavors and textures of the different offerings in this dish. You could definitely taste the turmeric, cardamon and cumin, but it wasn't overpowering or overbearing. I thought it was interesting though to have served cold olives with the rest of the food items being hot. I think I would have preferred for the olives to be heated. Hot Mint Tea, $2 prior to tax- My husband wanted some tea and I actually really liked it. It reminded me of a milk tea, but with mint. This tea was creamy and did not taste like the usual mint tea that I have had at American restaurants. ---------------------------- (Total= $25.82 after tax) After we paid for our food, we sat at a table and food was brought out to us in less than 5 minutes (which surprised me it was such a short wait). If you want to experience the same dining experience, consider dining at Moroccan Flavors the next time you are at the Midtown Global Market. You won't be disappointed (unless you don't like tasty food and eat cardboard).

So so good! It was our first time to Midway Market since COVID and the unrest and it's good to see most of the shops up and running. We ordered the Moroccan Flavors for pickup and it exceeded our expectations. We got the lamb and shrimp for husband and myself. And my 2year old LOVED the vegetable platter. Look forward to ordering again!

Don't let the humble surroundings dissuade you. This is skillfully prepared, authentic Moroccan food using fresh ingredients and high end spices. We started with the assorted vegetable platter. It came with 8 different vegetables, with a variety of seasonings, then finished with a drizzle of olive oil. Just a wonderful way to take in a variety of healthy vegetables. Our other entree was chicken over couscous. It had cabbage, and other goodies. While it was seasoned differently from the vegetables, it was equally delicious. From the "sides" part of the menu, we chose almonds, prunes, and apricots. This could just as well have been in the "dessert" section. The almonds had a roasted flavor, with prunes that were partly stewed, and partly whole. The apricots added their sweet tang. All together, a very satisfying meal.

YUM YUM YUM. This is an unassuming place in the Midtown Global Market, but oh my god it was so good! My partner and I each got the chicken tangine, one with rice and one with couscous, one with white meat and one with dark. Also got some side vegetables (ratatouille, cranberry couscous, and spicy olives). Such amazing flavor and great portion sizes! Definitely one of the best restaurants in the cities, and I don't say that lightly. Can't wait to go back.

I don't give a lot of five star reviews - especially to food court stalls. Moroccan Flavors stands out even among the interesting offerings at Midtown Global Market. I'm a recent transplant from Chicago, and I'm still getting used to how disappointing food can be in Minneapolis. Oh, there are good restaurants for sure, but so many bad ones that promise flavor and deliver bland. I'm still getting used to it. (Overall Minneapolis is a much better place to live than Chicago, and I love it here. Locals, don't hate me. Just being honest here.) Moroccan Flavors is nothing like so many disappointing ethnic eateries. The spices are intense, and not over the top. The food quality is excellent. That's its a food stall is all the more remarkable.

Very flavorful. This was my first time here and my first time having Moroccan food. It was a positive experience. The woman who served me was very sweet and patient as I decide which dish to try. The food presentation was beautiful. I recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and looking for something other than burgers and pizzas.

Moroccan Flavors is a shiny gem inside the Midtown Global Market. I don't think there are even any other dedicated Moroccan restaurants in the Twin Cities? So definitely drop in and do yourself a favor with these flavors. Even though each vendor has a small space in the market, Moroccan Flavors does a lovely job with adorning theirs with beautiful patterned platters and colorful decor. For food, we got the lamb shank tagine. It comes with a huge bone-in lamb shank, rice or couscous, and a variety of colorful toppings like seasoned vegetables and fruits. If you have it made without couscous, the meal will be gluten free. The lamb meat was incredible and fell right off the bone. I shared this dish with a few people, and we made sure that everyone got a taste of all of the toppings, because each one was bright and delicious. We even split up one piece of apricot as to not start a fight ;]. And what's more, the meal came up fast, was a big portion, and was only $12.95!

I order the Lamb Shank Tagine and where do I start? The cost was unbeatable for one and the quality was outstanding. Tender and Flavorful are 2 words that immediately come to my mind when I think of Moroccan Flavors, not to mention their portions are HUGE! The Lamb Shank was served with Rice and these delicious mini salads. Absolutely a great restaurant to experience!

BEST MOROCCAN FOOD! My husband and I are both Moroccans, and we are so happy to have Moroccan flavors in the twin cities. The food is so authentic, it taste just like home . This is the chicken and almond pastilla, and staple in the Moroccan cuisine that's usually served in gatherings and holidays . It's a sweet and savory dish, It was so good definitely recommend you try it.

Great flavors. I talked to the chef/Moroccan lady at the counter and she was very helpful. Loved the kofta tangine, which comes with saffron rice, chickpeas, root veggies and other stuff. So flavorful. I also got a mini sampler of the salads and it was wonderful. I wish I could eat here every day.

This place is the newest addition to the midtown global market and it's fantastic! The owners are a lovely and oh so friendly couple who are courteous and so appreciative of their customers. The food is fresh, not greasy, vegetables are crisp, the flavors shine through without being too heavy. The mint ice tea is fast becoming my favorite refreshing drink. The orange slices steeped in rose water is a healthy dessert (albeit a bit pricey). I find their offerings to be light and healthy. We tried the salad sampler, chicken sandwich, and beef couscous. All were terrific. We agreed that we have to go back to try the beef tangine next time.

One of my favorite places in the Midtown Market! Everything is "bnine" (delicious in Moroccan Arabic). I love mint tea and I was curious about theirs. Mmmm fresh mint and it has the perfect amount of sweetness! The first time I came here, I tried the beef tagine, it was delicious! The beef was very tender and it felt like it would "melt in your mouth" With the prunes and apricot, it's sweet and savory! This time,my friend and I shared the chicken tagine. Mmm the flavors! I can understand why this place is called Moroccan FLAVORS! I love the decor. There's nothing to not love about this place! The owners are really nice too. I'm hoping to try more and also check out their new restaurant soon! Shukran!

I don't know how restaurants made it through the pandemic but I'm grateful this one did. A small stall within Midtown Global Market, I always get the beef tagine which is to die for. Not very adventurous on my part but amazing and reliable. The proprietors are always so friendly and welcoming.

I love this place--the food and the staff! Why not five stars? I just think they can be a little more helpful with food selection. Everything is good, but I never know exactly what I am going to get and I wish they were just a bit more outgoing about their great food. Will that ever stop me from having this be my go-to place at the market? NO WAY! The food is delicious and the portions are very generous. Unless they are overwhelmed being busy, you likely can get your meal served on one of their beautiful platters or bowls to eat there. The dishes are worth staying put and eating right there. I have loved everything I have ever ordered there--the salad sampler was a good item to share so you could get lots of different flavors and see what you like best, the Tagine chicken--full of chicken, veggies, a delicious sauce, olives, rice and dried fruit. It's a flavor fiesta!

We loved every bite of our meals here at Moroccan Flavors. Beautifully presented, and served with well-deserved pride, it was a lunch to remember. We can't wait to go back. I had the lamb shank tagine. It was unbelievable. Fall off the bone tender and served with a delightful array of sides. Couscous, rice, olive salad and roasted vegetables. Yum. My husband had the kefta with the same sides. Portions were extremely generous. One entree would have been plenty to share. But, we soldiered on. Every morsel was simply divine. We just loved it. Excellent owner operated restaurant is a wonderful asset to Midtown Global Market.

Came here for lunch, store location is in a corner of the midtown global market, store number 126 - place was recommended by my colleague. The place doesn't look busy, but there's a chef who is constantly working. I had the beef tagine, kent had the kofta tagine. Both were excellent ! The kofta tagine came with a small side of vege, couscous. The gravy for the beef tagine is more savory. We inhaled both dishes really quickly and boy is this place excellent. Each dish about $9 A lady next to me got the lamb shank tagine, for $3 more, the plate looks huge and I will try that the next time. If u are in the area, u should drop by to check the food out !! YUM !!!

Moroccan Flavors graces the Midtown Global Market with their traditional and satisfying Moroccan cuisine. The menu is relatively simple: there are a few salads, a few couscous dishes, and a few tagines (stews over rice). The portion sizes are generous, and the food is well seasoned. Some of the combinations felt a bit awkward to me, though. For example, my beef tagine had a few apricots and prunes on top - they were tasty but felt a bit out of place. Still enjoyable nonetheless. The restaurant staff is friendly and kind, and there's little to no wait for food. There's also a small, nicely-decorated seating area - though you're free to take your food and sit anywhere in the Midtown Global Market. On the whole, a solid option for your next visit to the Midtown Global Market. Check it out.

Came to the Global Exchange after hearing all about variety of foods and experiences. So many options and then I came across Moroccan Flavors. I read about this restaurant on Yelp and was thrilled to find it without looking for it. (It was on my to do list and I just happened to find it). So instead of waiting for dinner, I enjoyed Moroccan for lunch. The owner/chef made several recommendations after learning I am vegetarian. And he was spot on. I enjoyed the salad sampler plate. I then had the Vegetable Tagine. Both were excellent. I do not like olives so the only thing I didn't enjoy was the spicy olives on the sampler plate. But everything else--simply delicious. I chatted with the chef and read his story. Because he's living his dream, we get to enjoy the fruits of his labor. I highly recommend coming here.
