DINNER @ DELI MOROCCAN

Deli Moroccan restaurant is located at 30 Bussorah Street (near Arab Street, in front of the Sultan Mosque). My friend and I ordered 2 dishes – stew beef tagine and beef kofta tagine (with matlouh flatbread), plus Moroccan mint tea. The dishes were in generous amounts and very delicious. Good value for money as it costed us only $26.

The stew beef tagine included big chunks of beef, couscous (Moroccan granule), assorted vegetables (buttercup pumpkins, radish, cabbage, onions, eggplants, french beans and celery) and chickpeas. The chunks of beef were tender, juicy and slightly spicy. The couscous was well cooked and not soggy/sticky at all. The assorted vegetables and chickpeas were simmered in rich and flavourful gravy that used Moroccan herbs and spices. An excellent dish indeed.




The beef kofta (meatballs) was cooked in thick tomato gravy, onions and poached eggs. The beef kofta was aromatic and very yummy. The gravy was flavourful due to the use of Moroccan herbs and spices, not too salty. The savoury dish went very well with the matlouh flatbread.



 

The mint tea was served in a small metal pot with 2 glass cups filled with mint leaves. It was delightful and went well with the 2 main dishes.
