The Moroccan Soup Bar



First thing, make a reservation. We arrived at 6.30pm on a weeknight and the place was packed. The staff seemed less then impressed that we had just turned up without bothering to make a booking. After being given a table on the condition we had finished our meals by 7.30, we were starting to wonder if we should have gone somewhere else but I am glad to say the food was AMAZING! The pictures below do not do it justice. 

The menu is a spoken menu, meaning the waitress describes the food to you. I found this a little confronting because I like to look at all the options. I admit we were a bit cowardly and selected the first thing she told us about. It was worth it. The two person banquet was enough food for a small country. Two Vegetarian courses and coffee and cake/slice. I can't talk it up enough. I have no idea what we were eating but it was so full of flavor. I could eat there every night.

  1. Not sure if their booking policy has changed but you used to only be able to book for large (6+people) groups.

    The owner also gives away a free meal each night, though I read once it is sometimes to people that annoy her. What a great spiritual practice :)

    Oh and blokes, don't touch a passing waitress, I know its small and cramped and you might want to grab her attention as she squeezes by your table but most employees are Muslim and touching is not ok!
