Featuring an al fresco dining
space, this restaurant offers huge
portions of Moroccan specialities at a tiny
price. A fusion of European and African food,
the cuisine is known for its extensive use of
North African spices (such as cumin, coriander,
saffron, chillis and cinnamon) in tandem
with almond and pistachio nuts. The most
expensive dish is just $6.50, and most can be
had for less than $5. Run by a local Malay lady
and her Moroccan husband, the Deli offersfriendly and prompt service and piping hot
food served in a traditional earthenware tagine
(the name for both pot and dish). Don’t miss the
Moroccan apple drink – a sweet, cold, blended
shake with milk and cinnamon – and the traditional
hot apple tea, which is considered
an art form in Morocco. Pair either with
Koofta tagin (beef stewed in an earthenware
pot, $5.50) or the Moroccan
beef kebab ($4). 30
The Hummus was very good with the Pita, the Lamb Tagine with Apricots was superbly sumptious and the Mixed Kebab Grill tickled our senses,
Wished there was yoghurt to go along with the slightly strong spices in the beef kebab. Would have offset and tamed the spicy beef.
The Mint Tea was a perfect opening and closing for our lunch spread. Too bad the dessert was not available so we had to get some ice cream from Seven11 next door.
The prices were very reasonable, and a welcomed surprise when we were ready to go. Definitely a repeat visit soon !
