Delicious Moroccan Cuisine

“During my stay, I had the opportunity to enjoy some delectable meals at the Riad. I opted for dinner on two evenings and was captivated by the flavors. The Chicken Tajine on the first night was a highlight, as well as the Kofta Tajine the next evening. Each meal was complemented with fresh salad, vegetables, warm bread, and indulgent dessert, which truly embodied the rustic charm of homestyle Moroccan cooking.” view full review
