A Taste of Morocco in Chicago

Moroccans in Chicago are outnumbered by cities such as New York City, Boston or Washington, DC. Census estimates that they number in the low thousands. View this demographic report on Moroccans in Chicago.

Interestingly enough, there are a few Moroccan restaurants in Chicago, which I plan to visit individually to find out if they offer a similar ambiance and taste that I had experienced while visiting Morocco...one can only hope! For foodies out there, here's a list to start off with:
