    All New Vegetarian Moroccan

    7-9pm

    Enjoy exotic flavors for a spring evening. We’ll start with a salad plate of Carrot Salad with Mint; Roasted Eggplant Salad with Harissa; and Sliced Oranges with Black Olives. Then we’ll bring out loaves of freshly baked Moroccan Anise Bread to dip into Bessara (Berber-style Bean Puree). We’ll cap off the evening with an extravagant dessert of Lemon Couscous Cake served with Medjool Date Ice Cream. All the benefits of travel to an exotic land with none of the hassles.
