The journey was long and the anticipation of meeting the friends in Dallas made it even longer. Although a smooth drive, and the pleasures of listening to great music (Temple of Light CD, One Giant Leap) was soothing, yet my heart kept saying "Soon I'll be there, there will I be soon."
On time, I was in Dallas, the weather was cloudy and cold( somewhere in the 40's?)Not paying attention to weather reports, I was expecting some sunshine. What the weather didn't provide in sunshine, the greeting and salute of Fareed did. Even more so the treat, which was eating at a Moroccan restaurant.
It was then time for some enjoyeeeing!!!!!
The drive was short, the vicinity jiving with a Downtown revival spirit of Dallas Downtown projects: trendy shops, big screen displays, kool restaurants, and booming condos that exhibit the flow of Benjamins.
A short walk and a few How are you doing?, we entered Medina- a Moroccan restaurant owned by a lively Gentleman known as Sam. The decor was appealing, showcasing some aspects of the grandeur of Moroccan interior design without overwhelming the eyes.
The staff was friendly.
Then came the food. Ah the food!! Heavenly delights. From the Calamari salad to the Za'atar lamb chops,the pita bread, shrimp wraps and hakira sauce in between, are foods that awakens the taste buds, satisfy their longings, and conjures a Princely dinning, healthy and well suited for a boujoir lifestyle without its extravagancies.
Needless to say the flavor and aroma of the lamb chops, their tenderness and zest of the sauce was the perfect combination,that made me a hearty eater with ringing smiles running along my face.
