Description

Despite the sale to a new owner, this Brooklyn classic charges onward. A recent revisit demonstrated that the chicken, lemon, olive, and potato tajine is as good as ever, offered in the namesake conical clay vessel. Availability of some dishes is spotty-there was no lamb on our visit-but the composed salads are on-target, and offered in hefty servings. Zaalouk remains a fave, a foot-long heap of mashed eggplant served with a warm, crusty baguette, and the vegetable-shingled couscous at the next table almost made us regret selecting a tajine.

    Good Moroccan is hard to find in the five boroughs. The best place remains La Maison du Couscous, a closet in Bay Ridge where our favorite dish is a steaming tajine of lamb, artichokes, and peas.

The permutations of olives, raisins, preserved lemons, onions, root vegetables, and artichokes matched with chicken or lamb are seemingly limitless, and these stews are actually cooked in the ceramic vessel that goes by the same name.

    The Wages of Bistroization

    Though Moroccan cuisine is among the world's most subtle and appealing, New York suffers from a dearth of it. Manhattan Moroccan restaurants have typically been expensive and not very good, more intent on dispensing cocktails and attracting... More »

    Marshaled on the counter, the pastries possess poetic names. Kaab ghozal ("gazelle horns") are crescent cookies crammed with rose-scented almonds; the coiled pastry ropes stenciled like graph paper with powdered sugar and cinnamon are m'hanncha... More »
