Finding authentic Moroccan cuisine in Orlando might seem like searching for an oasis in the desert, but Merguez Restaurant delivers exactly that magic. As we stepped through the doors, the aromatic blend of cumin, saffron, and mint transported us straight to the bustling souks of Marrakech.
On our culinary adventure, I ordered The Mixed Platter which was a feast for both eyes and palate – a stunning arrangement of grilled meats perfectly seasoned with traditional North African spices. Doris ordered The Gyro platter, a symphony of tender, aromatic meat wrapped in warm pita, proved why this dish has earned countless loyal followers. But it was the shared Falafel that stole the show – crispy on the outside, yet impossibly light and herb-flecked within.
