Do you know this feeling? You want to eat this particular dish that you use to eat when you were still leaving at your parents’ place… but you know the preparation takes long, you’re not sure about the recipe and you don’t see yourself calling your mum (who’s not living in the same town by the way) to ask her to prepare it…
Fortunately, I found out in my neighborhood a snack offering salads, soups and… traditional Moroccan food! And I found exactly what I was looking for: the taste from my childhood.
Obviously, I’m not the only one: many Moroccans eat there as well. It’s true that in the neighborhood there’s a Moroccan community: and some of them use to go there to drink the traditional tea, have a chat altogether, listening to the traditional music…
Sometimes, I have the feeling I’m in one of the many snacks in Casablanca… and it’s even true, when the waiter starts to sing an Arabic song while serving everyone!
I’ve tried nearly everything and was not disappointed, but I especially recommend the “Tagine Kefta” (ask for ‘la totale’ with potatoes and eggs), the “Soupes de lentilles”.
Oh, and did I tell you? Yes, they have Couscous, of course!!!
Bsaha (Arabic word to say ‘bon appetit’)

After a “tasty experiment” with Yamina herself, I can say that she is telling us the truth! “Tagine kafta- la totale” was delicious and service very friendly… and fast :-)
I was there several times now and the reason why i go back there with so BIG PLEASURE is good food, great n quick service and cool atmosphere. I love Morocco and Moroccan food and the soups and chicken pastry served here are as delicious as in Morocco and yeah the Lovely MINT TEA…hhmmm yummy :-)
