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

2022 Food Wine Festival Tangierine Cafe 6
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.

Falafel Pita with Tahini Sauce – $5.50

Fried Falafel Pita with Tahini Sauce – $5.50

The pita isn’t particularly stable enough to pick up and eat this, so we’d recommend grabbing a fork for this one. Otherwise, the falafel is not too dry, and has a nice spiced flavor. It comes in a well-sized portion. It’s a decent choice.

Stone-baked Moroccan Bread with Hummus, Chermoula, and Zhoug 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.

Pistachio Cake with Cinnamon Pastry Cream and Candied Walnuts – $4.75

Pistachio Cake with Cinnamon Pastry Cream and Candied Walnuts – $4.75

This was a delicious, moist cake with sweet cinnamon pastry cream. It comes in a nice portion size, but is lighter than it looks. It’s a perfect cake for a hot summer day.

3 Daughters Brewing Fig Hard Cider, St. Petersburg, FL (5.5% ABV) – $5.50 for 6 oz., $9.50 for 12 oz.

From correspondence with 3 Daughters Brewing: “Tender, fresh figs with honey-like sweetness create this delicious fall cider. Complemented with hints of ripe berry, this brew may remind you of a certain type of cookie.”

*NEW* Blake’s Hard Cider Co. Peach Party Peach & Blackberry Hard Cider, Armada, MI (6.5% ABV) – $5.50 for 6 oz., $9.50 for 12 oz.

From Blake’s Hard Cider Co.: “Get ready to groove with the goodness of sweet peach, bold blackberry, and mellow apple. It’s all peach and love at this party.”

Fig Cocktail with Fig Vodka, Sparkling Wine and Cranberry Juice – $11.00

Fig Cocktail with Fig Vodka, Sparkling Wine and Cranberry Juice – $11.00

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.
