Flavors of Morocco - Southern Market — Restaurant in Lancaster

I absolutely love this place. The food is so delicious! We ordered the samosas & fish bastilla to start. Both were very tasty. I highly recommend ordering the Bastilla. I would have been satisfied with this on its own! We also had the Chicken Tangine, & Eggplant with Parmesan & Béchamel sauce. It was my first time having the chicken dish and it too was full of deliciousness! I’m glad I tried something new. The chicken was so tender, the olives & preserved lemon gave the dish incredible flavor. The eggplant dish is hands down the best eggplant I’ve ever eaten! I could eat it every day. We had a traditional hibiscus tea to drink. I’ve had hibiscus many times before, but this one has a unique herbaceous sweet tart flavor. It was a perfect refreshing complement to our food. We were full but ordered some homemade baklava to take with us. It is delicious and unlike any I’ve had before. It is sweet , light & flaky. I will definitely order it again.

The beautiful outdoor dining area with its view of the Conestoga River is a great way to relax & enjoy your dinner. It was a little chilly when we went but the dine in setting is so cozy. The owner made sure we were comfortable & well taken care of. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Flavors of Morocco is a feast for your senses! Call them and reserve your time to dine, you will be glad you did!

They do offer take out service as well, that I will be using often. The bastille & salads would make a great lunch or...

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing dining experience tonight, overlooking the Conestoga River while enjoying some of the best Middle Eastern food we've ever had. Tonight was the final night of outdoor dining for "Flavors of Morocco" while they close their current location for upgrades and renovations, and while the head chef, whom you can watch prepare your food through her kitchen window, takes a work vacation to gather more food, supplies, and, one may assume, inspiration for even more outstanding recipes.

The feature on the menu tonight was "The Moroccan Experience", and what an experience it was. The beet, carrot, and eggplant salads were exquisite. The naan and baba ganoush had just the right texture and consistency, the samosas had the perfect ratio of filling to pastry, the chicken was so tender it fell off the bone, the baklava was the ideal balance of sweet and savory, and even the teas were divine.... Fermented hibiscus? Wow!

I seriously cannot recommend this place highly enough! What a fantastic experience. Even though we only traveled to Willow Street (right outside of Lancaster), the exotic food and bucolic setting transported us to another place altogether.

And even though the very friendly staff of only three people (including the chef) was busy all night - every table was filled - the service was impeccable.

What an honor and privilege to feast at The Flavors of Morocco! We got the Mother's Day Special: a smorgasbord cacophony of taste, aroma, every food group, color and visual delights. The photo shows "only" appetizers? Samosa, multiple dips, savory flaked pastries, yogurt, salad. Never before had I imagined how a mango lassi (mango & yogurt smoothie) and a Hibiscus tea potion would be like imbibing liquid love - MUST HAVE IT! Off camera we next dutifully dined on delectable orange rice w/ spices, And melt-in-your-mouth lamb shank. Dessert was mint tea, baklava, and a surprise Mother's sculpture with mini cake, macaroon, grape, flower and creme. I had to be rolled away... This was my first sit-down at a restaurant, albeit outdoors, since the pandemic began. Over the past 15 months, I can count on less than 10 fingers the number of takeouts I had. And we didn't travel during the pandemic... But now, it's only a short drive to Lancaster's new Secret Garden, The Flavors of Morocco. You will indulge in a newfound fantasy of your exotic journey to the Mediterranean Sea, to Marrakesh. The gracious chef, is a culinary artist, your sherpa to the Mount Everest summit of Mid-Eastern flavor. (Sure, a takeout order will taste just as good, but the presentation in the veranda overlooking dreamy Conestoga River is out of...
