For those looking for something a little different, why not indulge in the vast flavours of Moroccan cuisine? This diverse cuisine is a fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. If you are intrigued or already a convert, be sure to seek out Leila, a hub for quality Moroccan food, just a hop, skip and a jump from Ealing Common tube station in London.
The spices of Morocco are subtly used to create the distinct flavours of Moroccan cuisine. It is a careful balancing act which the kitchen team at Leila have mastered well. The menu offers a great selection of Moroccan dishes to sample. On a cold winters night, start with the delicious, yet incredibly healthy harira soup which consists of saffron, lentils, vermicelli, coriander and chickpeas.
Quite similar to the menus of their Mediterranean neighbours, Moroccan cuisine features hot and cold meze. If you are a novice to the cuisine, begin with the couscous salad or perhaps the fragrant pastilla djaj, a traditional Moroccan chicken pie. Slow cooked tagines and succulent grilled meats are a staple for Moroccans. To ensure you get to try both, share an array of these delicious dishes with your dining party.
Complete your meal with a sweet treat; a slice of delectable baklava with a fresh mint tea or strong black coffee.
The restaurant invites you in from the outside with an expanse of windows, overlooking the street. Pop in for lunch, sit back and enjoy people watching as you relish in the wonderful flavours of the menu.
