Soûl kitchen — Restaurant in Marseille

Stumbled upon this little gem of a Moroccan restaurant while exploring Le Panier district of Marseille.

The owner Amaar, was very friendly and suggested the vegetarian couscous dish for my wife who does not eat meat. As for me, I ordered the Sardines Tajine. The food came out fast, and the delicious. Both the vegetarian dish and the fish were perfectly spiced. The vegetarian dish came with a side of delicately spiced curry, and there was a side of bread for both of us.

The food was pretty tasty, but overpriced especially for the quantity: the chicken tagine was served on what seemed like a desert plate.

I would rather recommend having a great ice-cream at the shop...

1st, the owner was absolutely attentive. 2nd, the food was wonderful. We had a tajine (chicken) and a couscous with chicken. Both were excellent and authentic. The owner even provided a dish of caramelized onions and raisins to accompany the couscous, usually reserved for special occasions. Everything was clean and sparkled. The local white wine was a perfect...
