Souk
where the tagine cracks open at the table
Saffron-stained tagines, charcoal-kissed flatbreads, and mint tea poured from a height. Come as you are — grandmother's kitchen, your Friday night.
The Menu
What's
on the table.
Every dish has a story older than the restaurant. Ask the kitchen — they love to tell it.

Chicken Bastilla

Lamb Merguez Plate
$21Hand-ground lamb, harissa, cumin, and coriander. Charcoal-grilled to order. Served with whipped smen butter and msemen.
Friday Couscous
$19Hand-rolled semolina steamed three times. Seven vegetables, chickpeas, and caramelized onion broth. Our grandmother's Friday ritual.
Msemen & Honey
$9Folded, layered, griddled on cast iron until the edges blister. Served torn and steaming with wild thyme honey and argan oil.
Squab Pastilla

The Space
A room that
smells like dinner.

The Mosaic Bar
Hand-cut zellige tiles from Fes. The owner carried three crates on the plane.
The Long Table
Seats 18. Ideal for celebrations that don't need white tablecloths.
The Neighborhood
The block
we call home.
SFC Farmers' Market
Where we pick up the flat-leaf parsley, the preserved lemons, and whatever heirloom tomatoes catch our eye Saturday morning. The saffron comes from a family in Marrakech — but the rest is local.

Nadia Oufkir Ceramics
Every bowl, every plate, every tagine lid on this table was made by hand in Nadia's studio on South Congress. The crazing in the glaze is intentional — it holds the memory of every meal.

What's Playing Right Now
Gnawa ritual music from Essaouira, Oum's jazz-Darija fusion, Haoussa drums, a little Fairuz when the kitchen gets sentimental. Updated every week. Best with mint tea.
