The vibrant, sultry casbah that is La Marrakech profers mint tea mojitos upon arrival. They’re just the right mood elevator to drink in the rich room, and richer food that flows from owner/chef Abdel Elatouabi’s Moroccan-fired menu. Start with a trio of eggplant, grilled pepper and tomato cucumber salads ($11), or the rosewater and pomegranate-tossed golden beet salad ($4 each), then make way to kefta meshouiya (grilled mutton kabab, $15). Stop for a blood orange mojito. Mains include “La Casserole d’Essaouria” (seafood in saffron tomato broth) or tender K’sksou Royal (braised short ribs). Don’t miss the seasonal blueberry and fig salad, when available. Belly dancers on weekends.
