Thrillist: Detroit's Best New Restaurants of 2019
McDougall-Hunt
Moroccan with a modern spin
Save for an excellent pop-up (hi, Taste of Marrakech!) and a couple of spots, including one across the border in Canada, there's a dearth of Morrocan food in Southeast Michigan. Chef Omar Anani saw the void and filled it with this bright and cheerful carryout-turned-dine-in restaurant on the east side. Traditional tagines with lamb or eggplant beef are represented on the menu as well as a Moroccan fried chicken sandwich with harissa slaw on a challah bun that's perfect for the 'Gram. The flavorful fare are perfectly complemented by one of the halal craft beverages in the dry bar, featuring a range of drinks from the housemade sodas to the decadent Moroccan hot chocolate with burnt marshmallow.
