Barbes Morrocan Restaurant

In this blog post am going to talk about my favorite Arabic restaurant in New York, Manhattan. I am originally from Libya, it is located in North Africa. Since I am Arab I grew up on Arabic food and I love it. Barbes Moroccan restaurant is one of the restaurants that make me experience the taste of home food, and I really enjoy it. My absolute favorite meals are Couscous and Tajine. Couscous is a type of North African semolina in granules made from crushed durum wheat. Also, there is a tomato sauce with vegetables and either lamb or fish, but it can be served with vegetables only. Back home we like to have the tomato sauce spicy. Also, we make the tomato sauce with lamb and vegetables: onions, tomatoes, chickpeas, zucchini, pieces of green peppers, and potatoes. Tajine is also a North African dish and it is basically a stew of spiced meat and vegetables prepared by slow cooking in a specific type of cooking dish, which is a shallow earthenware cooking dish with a tall conical lid. Both of these dishes are absolutely delicious.

Another thing that makes me love this restaurant is the beautiful decoration and the environment. When you walk in you feel as if you are entering a really nice romantic cozy place. Also, they usually put small candles on the tables when the sun goes down. The candles make the environment become romantic. The only thing that I don’t like about this restaurant is the fact that it is small in size.

I really recommend that anyone who is interested in trying Arabic
restaurants that they go to Barbes. Am absolutely certain
they are going to fall in love with it, especially if they come
from a country where they eat food with a lot of flavor and spices.
