the moorish lounge in Croydon

Magnifique Ahmed! Best food we've ever had at a shisha spot. Warm fresh bread and hummus, merguez and kofte starter was great, lamb rack with the ratatouille and sautéed potatoes banged, and my friends loved their mixed fish special and tagines. Perfect spice levels and flavours on point. Lovely mocktails and shisha too. Everything came reasonably priced in an intimate atmosphere. Owner/chef/waiter Ahmed is a legend, proper example of why we should all support our local independents! Will definitely be returning

The best tagine in London. Great service. Thank you

Lovely food from a warm and generous host. His crème brûlée with pistachios was terrific. Thank you!

What a gem of a place! The best Moroccan cuisine around, we ordered an array of food and everything was exceptional. The calamari and the lamb shank were exceptional topped of with a crem brûlée. The chef was also very warm and welcoming, definitely recommend.

The best Moroccan experience in London! Excellent customer service and lots of options to have. Highly recommend the lamb shank. Will definitely be coming back with my family.

Unique cosy Amazing atmosphere, feeling like iv been transported to Morocco, food is always amazing very authentic.

A great local restaurant that deserves our supportThe Moorish Lounge is open and we had supper there last evening - but it was quiet so maybe people need to get back in the habit after covid. This must be one of the best restaurants in Norbury, and we should all be supporting it.We had two different lamb dishes for supper, both of which were succulent and delicious.Alcohol is on a 'bring your own' basis, but we chose not to, tempted by the interesting range of non alcoholic drinks (Mocktails) on offer. I had a date almond and coconut juice which was very good indeed.The Moorish Lounge is a one person operation, and the welcome feels personal. The cooking is excellent and the restaurant is very nicely appointed with lovely tiled walls and exotic Moorish lampshades.Please go and see for yourselves. This place is very good.

food isn't bad -- the problem is the service, the manager is a rude, sweaty oaf. in hour two hours there he yelled at the cook, screamed at the waiter - he snapped at my (female) friend because HE misunderstood her order. needs sensitivity training - and a shower.

Such a hidden gem!I always love the food and the atmosphere in this place :) Ahmed is always nice, approachable and always cooks amazing food. I've been here for birthdays, anniversaries and weekly dates with family and friends so it's definitely for everyone.

Love the place. As soon as you walked in the door the owner of the restaurant welcomed you. Very friendly atmosphere. Food was amazing. Lamb shank was the best l’ve ever had. Value for money is given, great portion size. Definitely coming back to this place. Highly recommend!
