With two branches in Shanghai, this Moroccan restaurant chain is known for its authentic and melt-in-your-mouth cuisine, although it comes with a big price tag. Don't miss the succulent lamb tagine with prunes and almonds at the spicy seafood briwates. Dark antique wood and candlelight provide perfect ambiance for after-dinner chit-chat over a pot of Moroccan mint tea.
El Wajh was first introduced to China at Face Shanghai. Having served these authentic selections of Couscous, Tajines, Birwates, Harira & many more; finally, we have decided to ship her success from Shanghai into this Imperial City. Savor our Moroccan cuisine prepared by our Master Chef - Mohammad. He will be delighted to complete your dining experience with a fine touch of traditional Moroccan Mint Tea.
Among El Wajh’s mouth-watering menu of North African delights, Chef Mohammad’s tajine d’agneau aux pruneaux et amandes (¥140) stands out. This succulent lamb stew infused with prunes, spices and almond slices is the kind of dish you can rely on to impress discriminating dinner companions. Cooked and served in a tajine, a traditional Moroccan ceramic cooker, the lamb melts in your mouth, slowly unleashing its flavors of dried fruits, cumin and cinnamon. El Wajh’s appetizers and couscous (¥107-136) leave similarly profound impressions. Don’t miss the spicy seafood briwates (¥66). The hummus (¥49), with loads of lemon and garlic, is a bit runny, but it’s packed with flavor and easily soaks into pita bread. The restaurant shares a dark, elegant dining room with Face’s Indian restaurant, Hazara. The dark antique wood and candlelight provide perfect ambiance for after-dinner chit-chat over a pot of sweet Moroccan mint tea (¥38).
