Bouga

FROM the big carved wooden doorway to the monochrome photographs of old Marrakesh, every detail of the décor at Bouga exudes Morocco.

A cosy entrance bar/tea room sets the sultry tone with its velvet-covered low seating, exotic red walls and imported hanging artifacts.

An authentic, warm and inviting setting for a traditional Moroccan evening, this cocktail lounge and mezze bar filled with exotic aromas brings a touch of Casablanca to Crouch End.

Head chef Fatima follows the traditional recipes of her Moroccan mother when putting together an allday menu of cold and hot kemia (mezze), and an a la carte selection.

Chicken pastille with almond and cinnamon is a delicate treat; zalouk aubergine puree is nicely smoked, while a well textured salad of broad beans, chickpeas, shallot and peppers has a good spicy kick of harissa.

Signature dish tagine has a vibrant lamb, chicken or beef taste, mix of sultanas, apricots, dried figs,or might come with cod or king prawns kemron casa.

Tagines are served boiling hot and the food is stem cooked without a fire contact.
