Philly Food π²π¦ $25 for a 7-Course Omakase-Style Moroccan Feast π
Got recommended by an American classmate to try this only traditional Moroccan restaurant in Philly β went right after finals! π΄ Marrakesh π 517 S Leithgow St, Philadelphia π° $25 per person Walking in, I was instantly drawn into the traditional Moroccan decor β dim lighting, cozy couches arranged into booths, diners chatting over drinks, all complemented by rich red and gold accents β¨. This might be the most relaxed and welcoming restaurant Iβve been to in Philly π! π The menu includes: 2 appetizers, 3 mains, a fruit platter, and dessert β all for $25 per person β amazing value! π₯ Three-Salad Platter β North African/Middle Eastern salads suit Chinese tastes well: β Eggplant dip (tangy, sweet, creamy) β Refreshing chilled eggplant with cilantro β Soft, stewed carrots π« Bβstella β Moroccan-style savory pastry filled with chicken, topped with almonds, cinnamon, and powdered sugar, then baked. Sweet, savory, crispy β not for everyone, but interesting! π Grilled Chicken β Choice of mild or spicy. Half-boned but juicy β recommended π₯. π§ Beef Kebab β For the second main, choose between grilled meat or lamb β go for the kebab! Huge skewers, smoky, juicy, and flavorful. π Couscous β Traditional North African semolina, light like quinoa, simmered in meat broth for subtle savoriness. π₯§ Baklava β Famous Middle Eastern dessert (originally Turkish) β rich with nuts and pistachios, layered pastry soaked in honey β uniquely sweet. π Fruit Platter β So generous I packed it all to go β enough for two weeks! πΉ They also have super affordable liquor and traditional Moroccan beer β $5 cocktails are rare these days! #PhillyEats #PhillyLife #StudyInUSA #ExplorePhilly #HiddenGem #FoodDiary π₯π²π¦β¨
