The Indian: Spanish Tapas in Maarif


Yes we know, weird choice of a name for a place that is 100% spanish ambiance and tapas in the heart of Maarif in Casablanca. Dont let that put you down and give it a chance; the owners are the old managers of famous La Cocina, and they created something very special in this reduced space that reminds us very much of any place in Barcelona in which you hear spanish, you eat spanish and you act spanish (meaning you are loud), but of course you smoke american and you pay in dirhams :) . It is perfect for an easy afterwork or for a secret love-date, since it is still quite unknown. The lighting is good, the music does not disturb you and the prices are fair. We tried the tortilla de patatas and it was truly genuine, just like my grandma does it, not like the spanish omelette that they try to do in Morocco or France adding some species for no purpose at all that only kill the original flavour. We also loved the chicken croquetas, and specially the patatas bravas... very very good. For pig lovers there's all you need, spanish ham and also deep fried Morcilla (boudin noir/pig's blood) mmmm delicious. We arrived a bit early but the place really came to life around 20h, and when we left at 22 there was no place for a needle.

Price: from 50 dhs to 200 dhs (how much can you eat/drink?)
