The food is delicious, the service is extremely pleasant, and the general ambience is very nice. I like the dim lighting, the heavy north-African style of the decoration, and the various arches built into the room. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking to splurge a bit, who wants actual value for the price.

Babouche reminds me of the rich colors of coffee. babouche_noahkalina_com.jpgThe lush color of a chocolaty mocha, or the elegant hues reflected by of a dash of cream. The gold reminds me of the smooth, luxurious taste you get with that first sip of morning java. Ahhhh, almost makes for a great Starbuck’s commercial doesn’t it?

Taking inspiration from this Moroccan restaurant, Babouche, with its deep chocolate browns, golds, lush fabric, soft lighting... it's a big space, but doesn't it feel cozy and inviting? This is the desired feeling, right?

Babouche spreads over two levels, the downstairs serving as a lounge, the upstairs as a dining room. On one side of that lounge is a tile mosaic that rises two stories high, creating some visual drama. There are curved arches over windows, throw pillows everywhere, the suggestion of being in a sheik’s tent in the Sahara.

The decor is stunning, and apparently everything you see has been imported straight from Morocco.
Moroccan decor is beautiful and Babouche doesn't disappoint.
