Mama Morocco

Mama Morocco present diners with an abundance of Moroccan cuisine that exudes passion and humility alongside affable staff patrolling the bustling dining room masterfully to create a warm and convivial atmosphere. 

The generosity in spirit is evident from Mama Morocco’s menu, with a variety of hearty and generous dishes that are each well-priced.

Our first course comprised of a delicious array of tastes. Pita bread was served with beautifully traditional dips of Matbutcha and Smoked eggplant dip. 

The broad beans was a stand-out starter - a recipe from Casablanca, the fresh broad beans had been softened with lemon juices and enriched with an array of traditional spices.

For mains the barramundi was an absolute highlight. Boasting true Moroccan culture on a plate, the incredibly fresh fish was cooked in a thick, spicy tomato and red capsicum sauce with traditional spices, coriander, garlic and fresh lemon.

A Moroccan staple, the Chicken with apricots was similarly delicious - Think tender chicken thighs and drumsticks cooked in a rich sauce of turmeric, cumin and black pepper with soft apricots and almonds for texture.

A dish to enjoy for vegetarians (and, really, everyone else!) was the stuffed potatoes. This dish was comfort food at its best. Whole cooked potatoes had been meticulously hallowed and filled with rice, carrot and celery served in a flavoursome sauce of tomatoes, spices, fresh coriander and parsley. Just. Yum!

To finish, we recommend Mama Morocco's traditional Moroccan donuts which are golden and crunchy on the outside with a light and fluffy centre and finished with a drizzle of honey.

Mama Morocco presents well executed Moroccan dishes that make for a memorable experience.
