***** (5 stars)

Although this is just a quick server restaurant with a counter at the rear and virtually no ambiance, you can’t tell it from the food, which is authentic and delicious, far better than the next closest Moroccan restaurant, which happens to be in Epcot!.

I had the mixed grill, and all four meats were excellent, particularly the chicken, which had a nice sear, and the very flavorful gyro meat. I also like the accompanying salad.

Even better was the Chicken Bastilla, a slightly sweet sort of pie made from delicately crisped phyllo dough. It was actually better than the one I had in Morocco many years ago.

It’s a bit hard to get into this plaza during road construction, but hopefully that will soon be done, as it’s definitely worth a return visit.
