"Crossing the dessert plain of a South Jersey parking lot the mysterious frontage adds mystery to what awaits next to an innocuous nail salon. Open the door and you enter Cherry Hill 's casbah of Moroccan delights. It 's dark interior has intimate collections of cushioned seating surrounding tables set with colorful plating. As you are greeted by a truly caring host the unique tones of music from the Middle East adds to your awareness that this is not your everyday dinner out. The menu offers two prix fixe feast options as well as non-feast choices. We were a group ... so feast it would be with each diner choosing his/her own entree. We added a vegetarian Bastilla as a sweet starter just because we all enjoy this sweet pastry powdered in sugar; we knew it would take time to bake. The feast began with Harrira; a delicious vegetable soup that provided us with the unique flavor combinations of North Africa. Happiness circled our table. The huge salad tray arrived with pita offering three perfectly prepared salad choices to either pick up in pita or to enjoy with spoon fork. One salad in the mix is roasted eggplant pate ... I personally do not like eggplant .., actually I will never order eggplant nor place it near my mouth but this was different thanks to the spice blend and I wanted more! While all of our hands were ravenously groping for more of these salad delights the bastilla arrived steamy hot; our attentive server sliced it to allow the heat and tempting scent to hit the air. Once cooled we quickly devoured this well chosen appetizer. Our main course was served individually with couscous flavored with fruit and a variety of veggies in the Tajin. Exotic spices created truly delectable meals; well done chef! Dessert was baklava in a fruit mixture. Honestly, I have had better. Not that Cous Cous dessert was disappointing but it was not the equal of the rest of this delicious meal. And, yes a belly dancer arrived catching the eyes of all with her well developed gyrations, We left happy and satisfied ... great service ... wonderful atmosphere ...delicious food As the door opened onto South Jersey our question was ... why aren 't more local residents escaping to this oasis to start their weekends? It 's worth the trip!"
