Moorish Lounge is a Moroccan restaurant at 447 Streatham High Road in Norbury. Rich colours, tiled details and hanging lamps give the dining room the warm atmosphere of a traditional North African lounge. The restaurant stays open late and welcomes couples, families and larger groups for relaxed meals built around sharing and generous hospitality.
Starters introduce the kitchen through split pea and broad bean soup, hummus, stuffed aubergine and homemade falafel. Briwats wrap mushroom, spinach and cheese in crisp filo, while grilled chicken skewers, lamb kebabs, kofta and merguez bring smoky flavours. King prawns and spiced squid add seafood choices before the slower cooked main dishes arrive.
Tagines form the heart of the selection, each combining meat or vegetables with aromatic sauces and bread. Chicken can be cooked with preserved lemon, olives, potatoes and coriander or with cinnamon, dates, raisins and almonds for a sweeter balance. Lamb, vegetable and tomato based tagines broaden the range, while couscous offers another traditional base for meat, vegetables and fragrant cooking juices.
Harissa, cumin, garlic, honey, herbs and dried fruit create layers of heat, sweetness and perfume across the menu. Vegetarian diners can build a complete meal from soups, salads, falafel, briwats and vegetable tagines. Set menus, group dining and catering make Moorish Lounge useful for celebrations as well as an informal dinner, with its colourful room extending the character of the food.
