Our second night in Marrakech, we ate dinner at the Dar Zellij Restaurant. Our guide said it was a local hangout. It was busy with good music and great ambience. We had a great meal and a great time here.

The first photo was the main dining room, or at least the dining room where we ate our dinner.

Salad included sixteen plates of eight different vegetables: olives, pumpkin, zucchini, cabbage, beets, peppers, cauliflower, and cucumbers. There was only five of us at dinner.

The next photo is someone’s main dish. The shape was that of the tangini crock it was cooked in. It’s is basically a pile of couscous with vegetables and meat. I think the meat was lamb and it had a sauce on top.

My main was chicken tanjini but it was served differently for some reason. It was very good.

Dessert was a giant pomegranate pie of filo dough, sweet cream, and pomegranate seeds. WOW!!! It was one of my best desserts ever!
