My desire to travel to Morocco started with a meal I had in a Moroccan restaurant shortly after moving to NYC. I can't remember what it was, just that it was mind-blowingly delicious. Well, now I can proudly say I've satisfied a life-goal by eating a delicious meal of mixed appetizers - lentils, butter beans, zucchini, etc., - vegetable couscous tagine, and a traditional Moroccan pastry with tea. mmmm....
Also, as you'll notice below, the restaurant itself is gorgeous! It's called Restaurant Asmae***

The restaurant was unmarked and on a residential street. We would've never found it, except for this was where our guide ended our tour. We were a little suspicious naturally, as guides get commissions for bringing customers in, but the meal ended up being one of the best we had and was very reasonably priced. Especially considering how full we were!
The starters I enjoyed more than the main course and it was definitely enough for lunch for the two of us. To name a bit of what you see- fried eggplant, lentils, zucchini, carrots, green beans, tomato salad, etc. True haute gastronomie!Below you'll find some gorgeous shots of the interior
