Mazagan: the Pike's Moroccan

For our Anniversary dinner, wife and I decided to try out a neighborhood newbie, Mazagan Restaurant along Columbia Pike. It serves Moroccan food, with specialties like Kabobs, Tagines and the Meditteranean dips. Not to mention they have a designated area for hookah/shisha (we'lle try that one out next time). 

The place did not disappoint. Being new in town we did not expect much in terms of service and taste. We also have not been to Morocco to say that it's authentic. With the little knowledge we have of the food, we found it quite tasty and appealing. The Tagine sauce was tasty and the meat (we tried lamb) was soft and tender. I've had better kabobs in the Metro before so the kabob was so-so for me (but it was still not bad). We went on a Monday, which was incidentally a wine bottle half-off day. You can't go wrong with a $14 Cabernet in a fancy restaurant! 

With my little knowledge in good food, my personal rating overall for Mazagan would be a 4 out of 5 stars. 

Thanks Mazagan for giving us a taste of Morocco just a few miles away from home!
