Monkfish holds its texture through long, slow cooking — the flesh becomes tender but doesn't fall apart. This version is lighter than meat tagines but just as flavourful, with preserved lemon cutting through richness.
Tips from diners
Ask the server what vegetables are in season today — the tagine changes based on market availability.
This pairs beautifully with the live oud music — order early so it comes out while the musician is playing.
The salads rotate with seasons — spring brings fresh herbs and young greens, summer brings tomatoes and cucumbers, autumn brings roasted vegetables. All are dressed simply with olive oil and vinegar.
Tips from diners
Lighter start to the meal and won't eat too much of your appetite before the main course.
Seffa is Morocco's answer to a savory noodle dish — vermicelli is broken into small pieces, cooked with broth and spices, then mixed with shredded meat and eggs. It's often served with cinnamon and sugar on top.
Tips from diners
Hearty and warming — good choice if you want comfort food but something different from tagine.
The lamb shoulder is cooked until it shreds, absorbing spices throughout. Reviews praise the tenderness and the way the meat's natural richness balances the warming spice blend.
Tips from diners
Substantial portion — one lamb shoulder easily feeds two people or one very hungry diner.
This is the restaurant's modern touch — traditional Moroccan technique meets Italian ingredient combinations. The beef is seared hot, the gorgonzola adds salt and umami, and mushrooms tie both together.
Tips from diners
Pricier than other mains but smaller portion — order a starter alongside if eating alone.
Dar Anika Kitchen operates inside the Dar Anika boutique riad at Riad Zitoun Kedim, offering dinner service on a heated rooftop terrace overlooking the Medina. A traditional Moroccan musician plays the oud nightly from 7pm to 10pm. The menu changes with seasons, using fresh ingredients from local markets.
Booking is essential — the rooftop is small and fills every night. Call at least one day ahead.
Arrive around 7pm to catch the oud musician from the start. If you're late, you'll miss part of the performance.
Request a table near the edge of the terrace for the best views of the Medina lights — mention this when you book.
They can accommodate larger groups but need advance notice and may require a pre-set menu. Ask when booking.
