Moro

Seated at six and really impressed by the cocktails and welcome right off the bat. The liver as a starter was ideal as a protein hit to share. We all enjoyed our mains, but agreed the fish was the most tasty, best seasoned, and nicely plated dish of the three we ordered. See captions for details. Note that the bread is very, very good and is generously served. We skipped dessert out of lack of interest in the offerings but did order a couple of mint teas. A hug teapot of fresh mint in very hot water arrived and so all three of us enjoyed plenty of glasses of tea. Wonderful and surprising.

Visited Moro as it was highly recommended from friends, so we came with high expectations but were unfortunately slightly disappointed. Food: the menu is diverse, with Spanish and Moroccan influence. We were a table of four so decided to get multiple dishes to share. We had the Pumpkin Kibbeh, Cuttlefish kofte and the Oxtail for starters. The standout was the Oxtail, but the others were just okay. For the mains, we had the Cod, Seabass, and the Lamb. The lamb was cooked to perfection, but the Cod and Seabass were once again just okay. We also shared one bottle of wine and a couple of desserts. Price: the bill came to £70pp, which is not super expensive but you would probably expect more for the price. Ambience: the restaurant is lively and can get very busy on the weekends - we came for dinner on Saturday. The tables for four are small, so another small note is that there is barely any space on the table for the food and drinks.

I went for lunch with a friend at 2.30 PM, i wish we were told that they were running low on food. The starter ordered sea bass ceviche, hummus with lamb. We were served bread and olive oil which we were charged for. The ceviche was 3 thin pieces. Great flavours but poor quality and outrageously small portions. The lamb served over the hummus was dry and chewy. The dish was served with two canape size bread and when we asked for extra bread, we were charged for it. The main dish, sea bass dish with beans and fennel was outrageously expensive (£42). I hope Moro will look into their prices and portion sizes. I'm happy to pay a high for a dish that is outstanding but the food at moro was disappointing. Great flavours but small portions, expensive. The whole experience was sad as I used to love going to Moro and won't be going there anymore. Table service extremely slow!

The three of us shared such delicious plates that included delicacies like salt cod croquettes, hummus with an amazingly interesting flatbread, sea bass, duck, sour cocktails, cardamom icecream. OH and the chicory in the tangy sauce. Cooking really simple yet refined, pure flavours, beautifully presented and prepared and referential to real traditions and footways. We loved our dinner so much. Special thanks to the wonderful young man (red hair, necklace) who waited on us with such warmth and knowledge and guided our choices so perfectly. Wish I could eat at Moro a lot in my life!
