Belly Dancing Delights 2010
Dipping Into Moroccan Delights
Kasbah Restaurant
Kasbah Restaurant provides an innovative menu hailing from the Maghreb region (Morocco, Algiers and Tunisia) that will have your taste buds pleading for more. In keeping with traditional cuisine you’ll find that dishes are well spiced but not hot and spicy. A must try dish is the couscous Kasbah, served with roasted lamb shank, merguez and vegetables. What we love the most about Kasbah though is the warm, comforting atmosphere that the hued colours, handmade cushions and varied antique lamps and candles bring to the dining experience. Find it at 4-8 Arbuthnot Road, Central, 25259497.
Sahara Mezz Bar
Sahara Mezz Bar, with its Arabic décor, warm lighting and melodic Middle-Eastern music, is a relaxing getaway just a step and a jump from the busy streets of Central. Set out as more as a sheesha bar than a restaurant, you’ll sit around lowered tables on rustic benches covered with cushions. Fruit flavoured tobacco smoked out of authentic hookahs and mint tea compliment the Moroccan dishes available. Try the freshly baked pita bread along with traditional dips or the succulent Tangine meat balls. You may want to make a booking for an evening meal as tables fill up quickly. Find it at G/F 11 Elgin Street, Central, 2291 6060.
Olive
Head down to Olive, formally known as Malouf’s, to sample Chef Greg Malouf’s celebrated and award winning modern take on Arabic cuisine. Once in the restaurant you will be able to choose between al fresco dining, an elegant dining room or the more intimate setting of a well stocked bar. Each eating area is designed to reflect a sophisticated Arabic experience using motifs, art pieces, a mosaic ceiling, soft music and dimmed lighting. You can taste the freshness in the ingredients and the aromatic aromas steaming off your plate will leave you speechless. Find it at Shop 2008, 3/F Elements, 1 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, 2810 8585.
