Dropped in for lunch. Fortunately, it was not too busy at the time and there were tables available though usually you would need a reservation. Opted for the lunch special which includes 3 tapas and a glass of sangria. This is a good way to sample a variety of the tapas on offer. We ordered the sweet potato & leek dip, zucchini & sour cream dip (both come with pita), truffle mac & cheese, tapenade marinated chicken, roast pork belly and the calamari. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, delicious and the portions are more than sufficient to fill you up. The standout dish was definitely the truffle mac & cheese. It is brought straight from the oven to your table and the truffle aroma hits you immediately. You can taste the truffle and porcini mushrooms and is a delight to savour. A definite must try! The staff were friendly and the service was great! If you are visiting Darwin, Moorish should be on your list. We live here so will definitely be back soon.

Went in last night for my birthday dinner and left very full and very happy. Food was amazing we got the 4 course dinner, everything just tasted scrumptious and even the sangria was a fave for us too. Service was great, my husband actually requested for them to prepare a little surprise birthday dessert for me they were kind enough to actually prepare and even sang happy birthday which I know can be a little bit embarrassing but I really appreciated it. It really made my husband and I very happy and grateful. Special thanks to Zazu(not sure if I spelt it right) but from leading us to our table, serving us throughout and leading the surprise birthday dessert/singing she was just so accommodating and friendly the whole time. Cannot thank you enough for the great dining experience! Will defo come back!

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were glad we had booked at Moorish. Every staff member was friendly, personable and helpful. We had tapas, and each dish was delicious. Our waitress recommended how many dishes to try, and the number was perfect. She was knowledgeable on ingredients and amounts. From marinated olives, lamb strips, African meatballs, jewfish cerviche, roasted figs with goats cheese and more - we enjoyed them all. Dish of the day for us was the bone marrow! Amazing! Dessert was not needed (but we couldn't say no) to the Portuguese tart and the homemade Turkish delight icecream. Other diners - whether couples or larger groups - were all enjoying themselves. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The Meryl Streep(esque) lady, who we had take care our orders this evening could do no wrong. Her ability to care for a single booking while maintaining acknowledgement for every other guest (at the same time) was next level. We arrived without a booking and the entire team made no stress over finding us a suitable dinner space, despite being fully booked for the evening. The quality of the food served and the timely manner it arrived was outstanding, especially with the number of order places by the large number of patrons. Ordering almost one of every tapas item available and counting for dietary requirements the team and at Moorish Cafe, surpassed our pickiest of eaters. We will definitely be returning!

From Adelaide and we went there for dinner, upon arrival we were greeted by a beautiful young lady Margerita ,we had no booking but promptly found us a suitable table, took us awhile to decide what to order because their were so many amazing choices finally we did and with the help of Margerita we made our selections, the service she provided and her attention to our needs was second to none, and then the feast began with every dish amazing and left us wanting more but there was nowhere to put it, we left full and satisfied, thank you Margerita for making our evening so special.
