If you ever feel like enjoying a flavour of Morocco in Dubai, then head straight to Tagine. Right from the spicy zest in the air, the tobacco-coloured walls that have been polished and plastered in keeping with old traditions, to the copper chandeliers, everything coalesces to remind you of the North African city of Marrakesh. Even so, nothing transports you straight to Morocco than a bite of the famous Tagine Soussi. The dish comprises tender and succulent lamb cooked in earthenware called Tagine, which has fully absorbed the flavours of stir-fried onions, garlic, vegetables and spices. The entrées include crunchy and sizzling briouates (filo pastry layers laden with minced meat and seafood), wholesome soups exploding into flavours of celery, parsley and coriander and the pastilla bil hammam – a pie filled with exotic pigeon meat! Vegetarians need not worry, the buttery couscous and desserts, such as roz bil halib or creamy rice pudding infused with vanilla, almonds and raisins, will keep you satisfied.
