Le Sirocco
The tagines were super hot, had tons of lamb, complex flavor pairings, and a beautiful presentation. We ordered two different sweet tagines and they tasted different–which is good. (At some restaurants it feels like they have the same base and just add different fruits or veg.) My tagine with carrots was gorgeous, topped with a little hat of tender, slightly sweetened grated carrots, the chef clearly added these at precisely the right time so they would not be overcooked or melt into the rest of the dish. Tagines were served with bread and couscous.
The bathroom is small (can not accommodate a wheelchair) and clean. The atmosphere is pleasant with traditional Moroccan tiles, lamps, tables, and music. Free appetizers (marinated carrots, marinated potatoes, olives) were good. I did not get to try the pastilla, which I regret.
They open at about 6:30 for dinner. We arrived at 6 and asked for a reservation at opening. The restaurant was full by 7:30pm.
