Description of Maghreb Moroccan RestaurantThis may be North London but you could easily be forgiven for thinking you have been transported to North Africa when you step into Maghreb. A bit like setting foot in a souk with lots of Moroccan pottery and artefacts. Hoards of loyal Islington customers make this a popular North London hangout. What's cooking? Moroccan fare, of course. Mixed meze, spicy lentil and pumpkin tagine, vegetables couscous, aromatic duck served on a bed of couscous and beetroot salad, baghrir - a kind of pancake served with honey and butter and Moroccan coffee or mint tea.

It was really busy on the NYE, but the waiters did try to be friendly and helpful. The service was quick and the atmosphere pleasent. Food - v good and nicely served, but i do not recomment lamb kebab; chicken was fab though! Nice place and really cozy.

Maghreb Moroccan Restaurant was excellent value for money, particularly with the special offer. Food was nothing fancy but tasty and reasonable portions. Nice ambience and good service, although we did go 7pm on a tuesday when it was quiet.
