Looking to explore Moroccan fare? A new spot has you covered. Called Marrakech Restaurant, the fresh arrival is located at 3632 Georgia Ave. NW in Columbia Heights.
Its decor of red brick walls and red fabrics echo the architecture of the famed "Red City" of Marrakesh, whose cuisine mixes the Berber, Arab, Spanish and other cultures that have washed through Morocco over the years. Appetizers include merguez (lamb sausage), sautéed spinach and mussels served in the style of the seaside town of Essaouira. Tagine and couscous dominate the entree menu, made with choice of vegetable, chicken and lamb.
Though it offers a full bar, mint tea might most appropriately accompany the live belly dancing performed every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
With a five-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp so far, Marrakech Restaurant is on its way to developing a local fan base.
Trish T., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on March 4, wrote, "The baba ganoush was made with an interesting addition of fresh parsley and came a fluffy, super-tasty, warm pita. The owner brought over a free cup of hot sugary mint tea that was quite good."
Head on over to check it out: Marrakech Restaurant is open from 4 p.m.–2 a.m. on Monday-Thursday, 4 a.m.–3 a.m. on Friday, 10:30 a.m.–3 a.m. on Saturday, and 10:30 a.m.–2 a.m. on Sunday.
