I discovered this restaurant through this blog and I used to frequent this place since 2010 specially during my pregnancy because their dishes are value for money considering the quality and serving that they USED to have. Just yesterday evening, I took an overseas based friend for dinner here together with some of our colleagues who are also familiar with the food at Deli Moroccan. Man, we were very surprised with how pathetic the serving of their tajine is :( Before they used to place it in clay-like perforated plates with VERY generous amount of sauce and meat that can be shared by atleast 2-3. Now the serving drastically reduced by 60%. And their mixed kebab platter, before they used to serve chunks of meat, now what they do is they serve ground beef/lamb and shape them similar to kofta. We were very disappointed I must say. While the service is also something that they really need to work on eversince, I wish the owner considered keeping her Filipino servers who were very efficient and knowledgeable with food, coz their current servers there (Indian/Malay girls) are so slow. Some food arrived at the table cold and we suspect that they forgot to serve the food to us ASAP. The “mixed kebab” that we ordered is even burned (but in fairness they changed it when we raised our concern about it), We got at the place at around quarter to 9, ordered 4 main dishes and last dish arrived at our table almost 10pm. As much as I still love the taste of their Tajine and couscous, I don’t think I’ll be back again to this place after our last visit. I think it’s time also to check other Moroccan restaurants around the area.

In reply to Veron. Veron, Absolutely agreed! I was just like you one Saturday afternoon while taking some shots of Arab Street. With stomach growling I suddenly saw something on the menu and thot I should try. My first try was Mutton Tajine with bread and Moroccon tea. Oh my goodness, I fall for the food until today. Good food, good price and nice ambience.

In reply to abdou. Yup, the prices are decent considering the exotic cuisine. I'm pretty sure it is authentic stuff, too, as I think the boss himself is Moroccan!

Hi
thanks for the article, it is really a nice place to dine when you are feeling bored and need a change of taste.

The best time to get there for diner is in the evening when there is a fantastic breeze.

I strongly recommend it, prices are affordable

In reply to maryam. Yes, they are open daily from 10:30am to 11pm. Oh after trying the mixed kebab, I fully believe that the beef dishes would be good!

You would totally love this. The stew is simmered for a long time, so you can be sure the potatoes would absorb the flavours. Tasty!

Oooo! I love stewed potatoes! Did the potatoes take in the flavour of the stew? I’ve eaten quite a few dishes that tasted of steamed potatoes thrown in within the last 5 minutes of cooking, and I’ve always wanted to eat a decent potato stew!

You are one of the few people I know that truly appreciate the charm of Kampong Glam. I’m sure you would enjoy the unique eateries in the area.

Oh, this is new to me. I have been to Bussorah St a couple of times, but have yet to try this. Looks like I could consider this the next time.
