What are some of the most popular dishes in Moroccan cuisine?

Perhaps the most famous Moroccan dish is the tagine: a stew cooked in a pot of the same name which typically contains meat and vegetables. Couscous, made from semolina granules, is another well-known staple in Moroccan cuisine – while fresh mint tea is a beloved beverage and a great way to enhance your meal.

Are there vegetarian or vegan options in Moroccan cuisine?

You're sure to find plenty of vegetarian options across Dubai's Moroccan restaurants – from the foul mcharmel at Tagine to the balboula soup at Bab Al Mansour. For vegans, it's best to check the menu of your chosen restaurant online or call ahead for more details.

Which Moroccan restaurants in Dubai have the best ambience?

While the city's Moroccan restaurants are often bustling with life, they also offer distinct dining experiences. Nour El Fassia has delightful vibes and views thanks to its Dubai Creek location, and Ninive's three Dubai venues each has a unique ambience – from urban skyline vistas at Jumeirah Emirates Towers and seaside bliss at J1 Beach to desert calm at Bab Al Shams.

What are some Moroccan desserts I should try?

There are a wealth of sweet treats to sample in the city's Moroccan eateries. This includes the pistachio sarma at Ninive, the mhensha filo pastry with almonds and puree honey at Bab Al Mansour, the kaab el ghazal sweets at Nour El Fassia and more.
