It started really well with great small plates that we took as starters, which set high expectations for large plates. However, main were nowhere close to the level of the starters, we had salmon and couscous.
The place itself is quite simple but cozy, so no complaints, but nothing special as well.
The service is super friendly, but a little slow, and I didn't like that they automatically add 18% gratuity, and then list extra space for tip on top of the gratuity
Dinner at Baraka was a wonderful experience. The service was prompt and polite. We ordered the Chicken and Salmon Tajine. Both dishes were flavorful and unique. Portions were a good size and left us satisfied. Overall a great experience.
Such delicious food! It does take time, but the quality is worth the wait. I’d highly recommend.
Delicious food and excellent service! Our server recommended a Moroccan Syrah. We got the Zaatar Coca to start. The Zaatar bread was very fresh and the caramelized onions were so tasty it was like dessert. For our meal we got the Melkha and the Lamb Tajine. I’ve never had couscous so light and fluffy. The Lamb was cooked perfectly and fell right off the bone into a delicious sweet/savory sauce. I finished with a refreshing mint tea that had just enough sweetness to it. Definitely get the tea!
