First time trying Harira — completely converted

I had never tried Harira before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The complex with dried fruit and spice taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. harissa is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a medina restaurant setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. hospitality rituals including mint tea service are integral to the food experience. My server recommended orange blossom water drink alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Harira. Outstanding first encounter.
