Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage shows a clay tagine of lamb shank topped with sesame, beef and chicken kebab skewers over saffron rice with herbs, a bread basket and the table.

Roger’s caption is a balanced review: the food was good, but the service was super slow both times they visited. That both times matters — it was not an off night.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Lamb shank tagine
  • Beef and chicken kebabs over saffron rice
  • Slow service on two visits

Bottom line

Archive verdict

Worth it for the tagine, but plan on patience.
