Grilled Kebabs with Carrot-Chickpea Salad and Garlic Aïoli (Chermoula Chicken, Moroccan-Spiced Lamb) – $6.25

Grilled Kebabs with Carrot-Chickpea Salad and Garlic Aïoli (Chermoula Chicken) – $6.25

This is thigh meat chicken, nicely seasoned. The salad is raisin, chickpea, and shredded carrots, topped with garlic aioli. The chicken is nicely cooked. Seasoned perfectly, but not hot. The slaw is the perfect complement with its sweetness.

Grilled Kebabs with Carrot-Chickpea Salad and Garlic Aïoli (Moroccan-Spiced Lamb) – $6.25

The lamb has quite a kick to it. It’s a tender and well-cooked, hearty kebab. Both options are great.

Stone-baked Moroccan Bread with Dips – $5.00

Stone-baked Moroccan Bread with Dips – $5.00

The orange sauce is the zhoug. It’s tangy and spiced at the same time, slightly reminiscent of a tomato sauce. The chermoula is green, and contains herbs and aioli. The cream-colored one is the hummus. It’s tangy, but still pretty good. If you want a really superb hummus, go to Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, but this one is still good all the same. We enjoyed this, but wish there was more bread to go with the dips.

*NEW* Ciderboys Cranberry Razz Hard Cider, Stevens Point, WI (5.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

*NEW* Bold Rock Apple Crumble Hard Cider, Nellysford, VA (4.7% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

Gulf Stream Brewing Company Holiday Snakebite, Fort Lauderdale, FL (5.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

From correspondence with Gulf Stream Brewing Company: “This light lager was brewed with a small amount of apple to mimic the crisp taste of cider, with a touch of pomegranate, cinnamon and other warm spices for a light and festive holiday beer.”

There’s probably not a lot of alcohol in this one, but it was really well-balanced. It’s not syrupy like other festival drinks, which was nice. It’s quite refreshing, and takes a pretty picture for the budding food photographers out there. We highly recommend this one.
