Moroccan Flavors

I ordered a shrimp tangine both times that I've been here, and wow. Seriously so good. Something about the dish immediately puts me at ease, and as an added bonus makes me genuinely excited to eat vegetables. It's fun to experiment with different combinations of the ingredients, and each and every one goes so well together. I'm also a big fan of their mint tea, absolutely perfect for a cold Minnesotan day More...

Came to the Global Exchange after hearing all about variety of foods and experiences. So many options and then I came across Moroccan Flavors. I read about this restaurant on Yelp and was thrilled to find it without looking for it. (It was on my to do list and I just happened to find it). So instead of waiting for dinner, I enjoyed Moroccan for lunch. The owner/chef made several recommendations after learning I am vegetarian.  And he was spot on. I enjoyed the salad sampler plate. I then had the Vegetable Tagine. Both were excellent. I do not like olives so the only thing I didn't enjoy was the spicy olives on the sampler plate. But everything else--simply delicious. I chatted with the chef and read his story. Because he's living his dream, we get to enjoy the fruits of his labor. I highly recommend coming here. More...

One of my favorite places in the Midtown Market! Everything is "bnine" (delicious in Moroccan Arabic). I love mint tea and I was curious about theirs. Mmmm fresh mint and it has the perfect amount of sweetness! The first time I came here, I tried the beef tagine, it was delicious! The beef was very tender and it felt like it would "melt in your mouth" With the prunes and apricot, it's sweet and savory! This time,my friend and I shared the chicken tagine. Mmm the flavors! I can understand why this place is called Moroccan FLAVORS! I love the decor. There's nothing to not love about this place! The owners are really nice too. I'm hoping to try more and also check out their new restaurant soon! Shukran! More...

Moroccan Flavors was a great place to go visit & eat some great food! Its located in the Mid-West Global Market. I just love  ethincal places like this where you can get anything from true Arabic, African, Oaxacan/Mexican, Ethiopian, Japanese, Jamaican, Moroccan, etc foods & also shop and even enjoy good music from local artists. We got to meet the owner/Chef & his lovely wife of Moroccan Flavors. They were both sooo very kind & friendly!!! More than willing to tell you about the foods being  served for that day. It smelled AMAZING!!! I really had a hard time deciding between getting authentic Arabic & the Moroccan food. I had to have what smelled the BEST!!! The Moroccan food smelled sooo heavenly that, OF COURSE, I had to go Moroccan!!! We had Chicken Tagine & Beef Tagine with Homemade Moroccan Mint Tea. Oh, the FLAVORS!!! Absolutely DELISH!!! If you're ever in or around the Twin Cities, MN, make sure you get to the Midtown Global Market & eat at  Moroccan Flavors!! You won't be disappointed!! More...

This is a gem buried inside the Midtown Market. The care and attention paid to the preparation of their food was apparent in every dish our group of eight passed around the table. My lamb shank tagine was perfectly tender and beautifully presented on a bed of rice with a plum, an apricot, a chunk of squash, some chick peas, some cabbage, and a little pile of some kind of sweet chutney-esque goo, all served on a beautiful piece of Moroccan stoneware. The vegetable plates we passed around had little piles of marinated cauliflower, roasted potatoes and beets, a sweet carrot and raisin salad, some pickled slices of cucumber, and green olives coated in a spicy paste (harissa?). This is counter service, though, in a glorified food court. (I cried a little bit when the friendly chef presented me with a plastic fork.) This food really deserves to be served in a real restaurant with a wait staff, a wine list, and proper cutlery. For now, though, you can get it for half the price (carry-out, even) if you don't mind the trade-offs. More...

I really liked this place. I hadn't had Moroccan food before, but man... really really good. Based off other people's reviews here, I picked out the beef tangine with a side of couscous (I've been craving couscous for awhile. ..)The place itself is just a food stall-ish place at the Midtown Market, but the market itself is pretty awesome (neat!). There was a small section of dining tables right across from the stall checkout and the lady behind the counter was nice enough to ask if I wanted some of the beef tangine sauce on top of my couscous side. :)The beef was really tender and easy to eat and the rice had a good texture to it, not sticky, but fluffy. The flavor was excellent. Subtle saltiness with spiced sugariness that must have been from the dates. It was definitely well prepared. The flavor was the meat and the meat was the flavor.!!I'd definitely eat here again; and would tell people to try it if their looking for Moroccan food or just good ethnic food in general. More...

But this is affordable and it is tasty.Now it's not the best Moroccan I've had (neither food nor person) and the stuff in Paris and of course in North Africa itself (yes, I've been to Morocco and Tunisia, which makes singing an Arabic tune-easier), and all over the place for that matter I have found some pretty damn good ones.

Moroccan Flavors is a shiny gem inside the Midtown Global Market. I don't think there are even any other dedicated Moroccan restaurants in the Twin Cities? So definitely drop in and do yourself a favor with these flavors.Even though each vendor has a small space in the market, Moroccan Flavors does a lovely job with adorning theirs with beautiful patterned platters and colorful decor. For food, we got the lamb shank tagine. It comes with a huge bone-in lamb shank, rice or couscous, and a variety of colorful toppings like seasoned vegetables and fruits. If you have it made without couscous, the meal will be gluten free. The lamb meat was incredible and fell right off the bone. I shared this dish with a few people, and we made sure that everyone got a taste of all of the toppings, because each one was bright and delicious. We even split up one piece of apricot as to not start a fight ;]. And what's more, the meal came up fast, was a big portion, and was only $12.95! More...

Fabulous food! Of all the nice choices at the Global Market, this is the one that piqued our intetest. The food is completely nondairy which meant my lactose intolerant husband had his choice of the full menu which rarely happens. He chose the lamb tangine and the flavor and texture of the lamb were perfect. The rice was soft and the vegetables cooked just right with lovely spices. I had the salad sampler with each choice better than the next  The potatoes were soft but with enough bite left to really enjoy the almost sweet flavor. The shredded carrots were mildly flavored with rose water and cinnamon while the spicey olives have just enough heat to provide some zing without covering the salty brine. I thought the beets were a bit bland but still good. My absolute favorite was the grilled eggplant - sooooo good. Next time - and we will be back -  we would probably purchase a baguette to sop up every drop of goodness. More...

Don't let the humble surroundings dissuade you.This is skillfully prepared, authentic Moroccan food using fresh ingredients and high end spices. We started with the assorted vegetable platter.  It came with 8 different vegetables, with a variety of seasonings, then finished with a drizzle of olive oil.  Just a wonderful way to take in a variety of healthy vegetables.Our other entree was chicken over couscous.  It had cabbage, and other goodies. While it was seasoned differently from the vegetables, it was equally delicious.From the "sides" part of the menu, we chose almonds, prunes, and apricots.  This could just as well have been in the "dessert" section.   The almonds had a roasted flavor, with prunes that were partly stewed, and partly whole.  The apricots added their sweet tang.All together, a very satisfying meal.

Moroccan Flavors is inside the Midtown Global Market and has been here since April 2016. Moroccan food traditionally is a blend of different cuisines and cultures since the country is found on the northern tip of Africa where you have the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea that has influences from Europe and the Mediterranean. Common spices include cumin, saffron, turmic, cardamon, ginger and paprika. A well known dish of Moroccan food is a tagine, which is a delicious slow cooked stew with some type of meat (typically lamb or chicken), vegetables, dried fruit, nuts and spices. This dish is named after the vessle that it is cooked in, which is a conical clay pot it cooks in to give you that soft, fall of the bone, tender meat, delicious flavor and aroma. My husband and I decided to grab an early dinner/ late lunch here on a Saturday, a little before 4 pm. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering:Lamb Tagine, $12.95 prior to tax- Braised lamb shank, served with carrots, yam and garbanzo beans on a bed of turmeric flavored rice. That lamb was outstanding and fall off the bone incredibly tender. The lamb was flavorful but allowed for the nature gamey flavors of the lamb to shine through. The portion size of this dish is plenty for 1 person. The rice was tender and so were the vegetables. I loved the variety of sides in this dish. Vegetable Tagine, $8.95 prior to tax- Not that I am vegetarian, but since my husband ordered lamb, I thought it would be nice to also share a vegetable dish. This dish had carrots, cabbage, garbanzo beans, marinated olives and some other kind of greens that was served on a bed of turmeric flavored rice. I truly loved all of the flavors and textures of the different offerings in this dish. You could definitely taste the turmeric, cardamon and cumin, but it wasn't overpowering or overbearing. I thought it was interesting though to have served cold olives with the rest of the food items being hot. I think I would have preferred for the olives to be heated. Hot Mint Tea, $2 prior to tax- My husband wanted some tea and I actually really liked it. It reminded me of a milk tea, but with mint. This tea was creamy and did not taste like the usual mint tea that I have had at American restaurants. ----------------------------(Total= $25.82 after tax)After we paid for our food, we sat at a table and food was brought out to us in less than 5 minutes (which surprised me it was such a short wait). If you want to experience the same dining experience, consider dining at Moroccan Flavors the next time you are at the Midtown Global Market. You won't be disappointed (unless you don't like tasty food and eat cardboard). More...

Moroccan Flavors graces the Midtown Global Market with their traditional and satisfying Moroccan cuisine.The menu is relatively simple: there are a few salads, a few couscous dishes, and a few tagines (stews over rice). The portion sizes are generous, and the food is well seasoned. Some of the combinations felt a bit awkward to me, though. For example, my beef tagine had a few apricots and prunes on top - they were tasty but felt a bit out of place. Still enjoyable nonetheless.The restaurant staff is friendly and kind, and there's little to no wait for food. There's also a small, nicely-decorated seating area - though you're free to take your food and sit anywhere in the Midtown Global Market.On the whole, a solid option for your next visit to the Midtown Global Market. Check it out. More...

One of the newer and better places to eat in the area. The food is remarkably good - whether you like vegetables or meat. Most people probably prefer their (mint) tea hot but on a hot summer day, you will probably like it cold even better . Either way, I would suggest their salad sampler and either beef tagine, apricot, and prunes or kofta tagines. More...

This place is a hidden treasure in Midtown market.  The foods seem so genuine, like something your hosts would make for you if they invited you into their home.  Don't expect over-seasoned, over-salted foods here, which is typical of what you would find at most restaurants.  Do expect flavorful foods and that tantalizing and unexpected combination of sweet and savory food that is a hallmark of Moroccan cuisine.I got the lamb shank, which was cooked to perfection with the meat literally falling off the bones.  The lamb shank was topped with dried apricot and date, and the whole meal was accompanied by roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and your choice of cous cous or rice.  It's very rare for a place to wow me, and this place definitely did the trick for me.Thank you for putting so much care into making quality food - this place is special!
