Saffron Presents Moroccan Barbecue Thursdays

Moroccan Restaurant Fires Up Outdoor Grill for Prix Fixe Dinner

Saffron, the Moroccan restaurant located at 2006 Lexington, is offering Houston yet another taste of the exotic with a weekly outdoor barbecue featuring Moroccan dishes cooked over the coals, specialty drinks and a live belly dancing show.

Scheduled every Thursday from 5-9 p.m., Saffron is firing up the grill on its outdoor patio and cooking up Moroccan beef, lamb, chicken and other savory dishes like one would find in the bustling night-markets of old Marakesh. The all-you-can-eat dinner is $29.95 per person and includes in the price domestic beers or Saffron’s own Moroccan Mojitos, plus live belly dancing shows throughout the evening.
Saffron is an authentic Moroccan restaurant created by native Youssef Nafaa, the master restaurateur who also created Mia Bella Trattoria downtown and on Lexington, Coco’s in Midtown, Cava Bistro Downtown and La Mesa Mexican Bistro in The Woodlands. The restaurant, which is located next door to Mia Bella on Lexington, is decorated in Moroccan style with furniture, doors and decorations imported from Morocco. Its full dinner menu will be available in addition to the Barbecue option.
Reservations are encouraged as space is limited. For more information, visit the web site, www.bellarestaurants.com or call for reservations at 713-522-3562.
