Outstanding! Intimate. Welcoming. Authentic. Great service! What a terrific culinary experience…read more The tagine was out of this world, imbued with the right amount of spice. The chicken couscous with raisins and chickpeas had fresh vegetables, gorgeous gilled meats, and additional spices to personalize the dish. The pepper/feta/balsamic appetizer was just delicious. This meal at Le Sirocco was hearty, healthy and topped off with a fresh orange & mint along with fresh mint tea. Look forward to our next visit!

The taste was good and the staff friendly. The real problem here was the hygiene…read more La Baraka looks professional from the outset, and could be mistaken for a hotel with its heavily curtained lounge area and guest book. We were led to the back, to the jardin d'hiver which was warm (too warm--we had to get up and turn off the space heater) and sparsely decorated with plants and bamboo. I was tempted to get up and try another restaurant as soon as I saw the waiter carrying the veggie couscous broth over to a neighboring table, his thumb casually resting in the sauce as he held the bowl by its lip. If we weren't in a large group, I would have gotten up and left right then, but instead made a mental note to order a tagine, since the temperature of the dish would ensure that his fingers wouldn't slip into my food. We couldn't all order tagines, since they apparently did not have enough clay dishes to go around, so half of us ordered tagines of different varieties (lamb, kefta, chicken) and the other half ordered couscous. In the end, some tagines were served in regular bowls. Strike two: when the semoule was served in large family style pots, we discovered a hair nestled neatly in the top layer of the serving bowl. It was quickly removed and the meal continued. Then came strike three. The waiter offered an orange blossom cream dessert for my friend with candles for his birthday (the occasion for this lunch) and, sitting right on top of the chocolate-drizzled cream, was a long curly hair! One hair could happen. On the way from the kitchen to the table, perhaps. But twice in one meal, and a finger in the soup? Not okay. And if that still seems benign, my partner and I had digestive issues later in the day, something our adventurous tummies aren't accustomed to. It was kind of La Baraka to offer us a birthday treat and the 2€ mint tea at the end, but if they can't master the basics of food safety, the gesture doesn't count in my book.
