This whimsical place near the Convention Center has been around for nearly 20 years, and provides a good break from the Cal-Ital places that abound. You know the Moroccan drill: seating is on pillowed couches; eating with your fingers is encouraged; and swirling belly dancers, sumptuous rugs and silver serving pieces complete the stage set for the various set menus. On the Diner Menara, enjoy a Moroccan salad, b'stilla, chicken with lemon, lamb with honey and a vegetable couscous. A serving of flaky baklava and mint tea conclude the feast. Service is warm and accommodating.
