Moor than meets the eye
Meticulously prepared Moroccan meals await in MetroWest
When it comes to Moroccan restaurant ventures in this city, Achraf Taby has had his meaty fingers in the mix of quite a few of them. After stints in the kitchen at the now-defunct Casablanca Grill and Lounge and the eponymous Chez Achraf (it’s now called Atlas Express, but still serves Moroccan staples), Taby has taken the helm of the kitchen at Kabbab House, a visually alluring if somewhat clichéd grill/lounge in the MetroWest Plaza. And while history hasn’t been kind to couscouseries in Orlando, owner Simo Soaf is determined to make it work, and most of what I witnessed suggests Kabbab House has the potential to be a mainstay.
With less than a handful of Moroccan restaurants in town (Epcot included), Berber cuisine has hardly had the opportunity to evolve – so, not surprisingly, the menu here cleaves to the familiar. There’s nothing wrong with that. You won’t find modern riffs on traditional Moorish meals, but if you’re up for kebabs, tagines, couscous and assorted Mediterranean bites, look no further.
Comments on this story:
"I went with my family four times to Kabob house. We had a great time. The food was amazing so as the service and the ambiance. We enjoyed it and they accomodated us with a big table for 20 people because i took my friends with me. We also took the kids, very family friendly atmosphere".
"I love this place. I place an order once a week and have meals for my family. No planning no preping just heat up and dinner is served. I love it with a busy schedule and kids there is just not enough time in the day. Great food, great people, done right everytime".
"It is fantastic although I prefer Atlas Express on Fridays."
Good Middle Eastern Food Fast and Reasonable
"I like this place because it is something different from the usual fare. The kabobs are flavorful and tender, and the steak is my favorite. The food isn't too spicy but has lots of flavor. Everything tastes homemade. The rice is moist but not mushy, and the sauces are amazing. They make really good mint tea, both iced and hot. There is something on the menu for every taste. Their preices are very reasonable, you can get a lot of food for under 10 dollars". |
