A showstopping tagine featuring beef in a complex sauce built on cumin, preserved lemon, and saffron. The flavors are bright, aromatic, and sophisticated. The preserved lemon adds tang, the saffron brings floral notes, and the cumin ties everything together. A more complex alternative to the lamb tagine.

The signature dish. A bone-in lamb shank, fall-apart tender and aromatic, surrounded by sweet prunes and golden apricots. The sweetness of the fruit balances the richness of the lamb. Multiple reviewers call this out as a must-order. The tagine is slow-cooked to perfection, and the sauce is deeply flavored.

A satisfying and comforting soup that combines lentils, chickpeas, and cubed beef in a bright tomato broth. Spiced with warmth and herbs, harira is filling enough to serve as a starter or light main. It's the kind of soup that tastes like home-cooked Moroccan comfort food.

The standout dessert. Delicate sheets of crispy fried dough are layered with floral-perfumed custard, creating an elegant and memorable finish to your meal. It's stunning to look at and even better to eat—the contrast of textures and the aromatic custard make this a must-order dessert.
