Khaima Restaurant Seminyak, step in the world of the Middle East...

Khaima Restaurant Seminyak is located on Jalan Oberoi and with its nomadic tent at the entrance it definitely stands out from the other restaurants located on this busy eat-street.

When we were driving around Seminyak in search for a place to eat we immediately hit the breaks when we saw Khaima.

We love Middle-Eastern food and from the look of it we were at the right place.

 

 

As soon as you set food in the restaurant you will leave Bali behind for the evening. The beautiful decorations and colors will make you feel like you have just entered a huge nomadic tent in the middle of the Moroccan dessert.

The Khaima Restaurant, Lounge and Bar serves authentic Moroccan food. And just as the interior, their food is terrific...

One glance on the menu and we immediately knew that it was going to be difficult to decide what to order.

Their selection of drinks and dishes are pretty extensive and all of them sound delicious and exciting...

 

 

This was our first taste of Moroccan food for months, so it was pretty difficult to resist order more than we could eat...

It already started with the drinks. Besides alcoholic drinks they also serve other types of drinks such as almond milk which is high in protein, vitamin E and all kind of minerals.

For those who feel 'flustered' they serve a refreshing drink of Melon and Mint Juice. Ideal during warm nights in Bali...

Other terrific combinations are pineapple, ginger and lemon juice or carrot, orange and ginger juice. Again, both having positive effects on your body. So definitely worth to try out before enjoying your dinner...

 

As for the food...

Not surprisingly from an authentic Moroccan restaurant, Khaima Restaurant Seminyak serves couscous in all kinds of combinations: with kebabs, grilled Marrocan spicy sausages or vegetarian together with seven types of vegetables...

Another traditional dish is the Tagine where the meat is stewed in special earth stoneware. One bite from this dish will make your taste buds spin as the herbs are slowly cooked into the meat making it extra tasty.

Lamb is usually used for this type of dish but at Khaima they also serve  chicken-tagine.

Besides meat kebabs there are also fish dishes all with a Moroccan touch. The Calamari Fil Fil sounds delicious: calamari stuffed with Moroccan rice and cooked in a spicy tomato sauce.

 

For those who prefer to skip the meat the two vegetarian dishes are really good. First of all there is the vegetarian couscous.

My girlfriend on the other hand ordered the "Warm Vegetarian Mixed Tobsels". This is an ideal dish if you want to try all kind of small bites as the plate is filled with different kinds of salads, spinach and feta cheese briwatte.

She seemed to be enjoying every bite as there were so much different tastes in this dish...

I decided to go for my favorite Moroccan dish: the Lamb Kebab or "Mechoui". It was perfect. The flavor created by the many different herbs made a perfect blast every time I took a bite.

 

 

Once dinner is finished it is not time to leave yet. In the back of the restaurant has created a perfect setting to lounge away on the sofas and the many pillows.

And to make the whole picture complete you smoke a 'shisha' while enjoying the belly dancers who perform every Friday and Saturday evening.

I can imagine when you are traveling in Bali you would not expect to eat authentic Moroccan cuisine. But the Morroccan flavors can be a nice change when eating out in Bali.

We had a great time and enjoyed our dinner immensely. Khaima Restaurant Seminyak definitely impressed us with their different tastes and the amazing Moroccan food and atmosphere. 

Give Khaima Restaurant Seminyak a try and you won't be sorry...;-)
