Passion,
dedication and knowing your market are all key ingredients
contributing to a successful restaurant. Having established a loyal
following with the Golden Orient. Mishbah Ahmed took the unusual step
of changing the name and incorporating a completely new cuisine to
dovetail with his renowned Indian cuisine.
Renaming the
restaurant Maghreb (An Area of North western Africa - Arabic
Translation means ' To The Land where the sun Sets') reflects
the level of North African dishes, which have been included in the
overall menu. Having taken on board Sami Boudal to oversee this
transition and working in his own kitchen, convey the level of input
that has gone into this project.
Recent
additions to the North African menu includes Kibdah Mecharmila
- Marinated Lamb Kidneys in a spicy sauce, Spicy Chicken Tajine and a
spicy seafood platter. The Indian chef excels in his own domain with
signature dishes such as Beef Randang, Kaju Chicken,
Haas Bhuna and Jeera Lamb. There are
plenty of traditional Indian dishes to be found on the menu, but with
the wide range available there is something to suit everyone's palate
The restaurant
has recently been renovated and creates an intimate yet relaxed
atmosphere through the choice of colour scheme and effective overhead lighting.
This is a new
combination of marrying two non-related partners, but works well and
I'm sure time will tell how the people of Leytonstone take to their
new dining experience.
