Adelaide | An Authentic Moroccan Feast in North Adelaide
📍 Marrakech Restaurant 91 O'Connell St, North Adelaide SA 5006 🕌 Step into Morocco From the moment you enter, the vibrant decor—hand-painted tiles, ornate lanterns, and plush cushions—transports you straight to Marrakech's bustling medina. The warm, spicy aromas of cumin, saffron, and cinnamon will have your mouth watering before you even sit down! 🌟 Why This Is Our Go-To Spot We've visited four times and it never disappoints! Here's what keeps us coming back: 🎩 Unmatched Hospitality The enthusiastic manager (who might just be Adelaide's biggest Moroccan cuisine ambassador!) goes above and beyond: Dresses you up in traditional Fes hats for Instagram-worthy photos Sends you off with a fragrant rosewater hand blessing Even taught us how to say "shukran" (thank you) properly! 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes 1️⃣ Samak Tagine 🐟 The star dish! Flaky white fish simmered with preserved lemons, olives, and aromatic spices. Pro tip: Use the crusty bread to scoop up every last bit of the rich sauce. 2️⃣ Moroccan Bread Basket 🥖 A mix of khobz (chewy flatbread) and msemen (flaky pancakes) Perfect for dipping into: Zaalouk (smoky eggplant dip) Harira (lentil soup) 3️⃣ Chicken Tagine with Apricots 🍗 Sweet & savory perfection with Almonds + cinnamon + honey The chicken falls off the bone! 4️⃣ Lamb Shank Couscous 🐑 Friday special! Fluffy couscous topped with melt-in-your-mouth lamb Served with seven vegetables (carrots, zucchini, pumpkin...) 🍯 Dessert Warning! Baklava and shebakia are intensely sweet (think: honey-drenched + sesame) Best shared with strong mint tea to balance ☕ Mint Tea Ceremony Don't miss the theatrical pouring from silver teapots—the higher the pour, the better the foam! 💰 Worth Every Dinar Mains: 25−35 Tea Ceremony: $8 Veggie Tagines: Great vegan options Pro Tip: Book the low lounge seating for the full Moroccan experience (but maybe not if you have bad knees!) #AdelaideFoodie #MoroccanMagic #NorthAdelaideEats
