Moorish Cafe,

37 Knuckey Street, Darwin City NT 0800

"There is no doubt the food is just fantastic, if not better. I was lucky enough to be looked after by a young Scottish lass called Stella and she was absolutely amazing. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and she could recommend the most amazing dishes. She made sure we always had a nice cold drink, Stella is amazing, the food is amazing, the atmosphere was perfect. Well done Stella and good luck in Australia!"

"Dropped in for lunch. Fortunately, it was not too busy at the time and there were tables available though usually you would need a reservation. Opted for the lunch special which includes 3 tapas and a glass of sangria. This is a good way to sample a variety of the tapas on offer. We ordered the sweet potato & leek dip, zucchini & sour cream dip (both come with pita), truffle mac & cheese, tapenade marinated chicken, roast pork belly and the calamari. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, delicious and the portions are more than sufficient to fill you up. The standout dish was definitely the truffle mac & cheese. It is brought straight from the oven to your table and the truffle aroma hits you immediately. You can taste the truffle and porcini mushrooms and is a delight to savour. A definite must try! The staff were friendly and the service was great! If you are visiting Darwin, Moorish should be on your list. We live here so will definitely be back soon."

"Good food, friendly staff, great location. We didn't have drinks, I wish we had, and also make sure you trust the staff when they recommend food. We didn't go with their recommendations and we missed out on a lot of good stuff. Overall I highly recommend this place."

"From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were glad we had booked at Moorish. Every staff member was friendly, personable and helpful. We had tapas, and each dish was delicious. Our waitress recommended how many dishes to try, and the number was perfect. She was knowledgeable on ingredients and amounts. From marinated olives, lamb strips, African meatballs, jewfish cerviche, roasted figs with goats cheese and more - we enjoyed them all. Dish of the day for us was the bone marrow! Amazing! Dessert was not needed (but we couldn't say no) to the Portuguese tart and the homemade Turkish delight icecream. Other diners - whether couples or larger groups - were all enjoying themselves. Highly recommend this restaurant."
