Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant | La Jolla

When you dine at Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant you’ll be carried away to the land of the exotic taste of savory spices and rare delicacies. As you step into the tent-like setting of rich brocade, pillows and ornate tables, the land and cuisine of Morocco is yours. In their five-course feast ($23.95) for vegetarian or ($26.95) for non vegetarian you may choose lamb, lemon chicken, duck, fish or mixed grill for an entrée. But before the entrée is served there is soup, salad and a delightful flaky pastry called bastilla, which is filled with egg, chicken and almonds, then dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar.

They also serve the best hummus in town! Your main course may be honey roasted lamb served atop a bed of couscous. Order the fish, which comes in a tasty vegetable sauce. Vegetarian options are available as well. Dessert is worth the meal in itself. Savory baklava and mint tea are perfect conclusions to a great dining experience.
