Moroccan Restaurant - What should I order?

There's a new local Moroccan restaurant that recently opened, and I want to give them a try. Anyone have suggestions on what to order tonight?

It depends on the menu. I wouldn't order any sweet tagine dishes if it's your first time with North African foods.

Try kefta tagine, harira(a type of soup) and maybe bastilla.

@Miram The harira pictured on their site did look pretty good. As did the kefta tagine.

@FaeLuna I'd just do whatever she says in this case lol

@FaeLuna Boulfaf is also pretty nice. I make these stuff at home regularly.

@Miram I didn't see that on their menu, but then again it is a small place. I don't expect them to have everything!

@FaeLuna I hope you'll enjoy it and they offer authentic dishes 👌s. I dislike it when they change the recipes so much we natives can hardly recognize them.

Like I am telling you this and that is good but who knows what's being offered there? I noticed many imitate the presentation but not the preparation.

@Miram I hope so too! Nothing is more disappointing to me than thinking I'm trying something authentic and then realizing it's an "Americanized" version that doesn't compare to the original. I'm hopeful that this place, being a family-run small shop in a local strip mall, and not a franchise in a busy area, is more authentic than not.

@Miram So I looked more into their website - it's owned by a husband and wife chef couple. The husband is American, but the wife is Moroccan. They claim to use her mother's recipes that came from Casablanca and are very proud of that fact, so I'm thinking it's probably going to be good! Hopefully!
