An unpretentious Finsbury Park 'caff' that hides a kitchen producing authentic, incredibly affordable Moroccan tagines and couscous.
Ordering Strategy
Bypass the standard cafe menu (jackets, pasta) completely. Order a tagine or couscous, and finish with mint tea and pastries.
What to order
Chicken with Olives
Cited as a 'perennial favourite' and described as 'exquisite' with juicy chicken, though some diners suggest asking for extra olives to balance the flavors.
Lamb Tagine
A 'perennial favourite' served in large clay plates that are 'extremely filling' and kept warm with a ceramic lid.
Moroccan Mint Tea
Described as 'heaven in a glass' and served in teapots 'crammed with fresh mint' that perfectly complements the smokiness of the tea.
Avocado Smoothie
A 'refreshing' and 'interesting' specialty made fresh each day, though diners should be prepared for a texture that is 'a little thick'.

Good to know
This is an alcohol-free establishment (no BYOB mentioned). The venue resembles a British greasy spoon from the outside but offers table service inside.
