Weekly Supper Club



The view from El Aurassi

Baboo had organized an informal supper club over the last several months. It has become quite popular and I was excited to join in. I’ve been to three supper-club nights so far. The first week we went to a newly renovated upscale hotel called El Aurassi. Very elegant with a fabulous location overlooking the city.  The second week we went to Mesk Elil, which was very exotically and elegantly decorated. Both offered French and some North African cuisine and I enjoyed both venues very much.   The third week (this week), we went back to an embassy favorite, Taj Majal, for some Indian cuisine.

We went to these places in armored vans, which is the recommended way to get around the city. It was quite an adventure riding through these tiny winding streets with a big van that nearly touched the walls on each side of the street.  I am very happy not to be driving.

And finally, though the food has been really good so far, my favorite part of these dinners has been meeting some of Baboo’s colleagues. I am looking forward to making lots of interesting new friends.
