"the hotel lies opposite harrods on the brompton road, mamounia lounge knightsbridge promises culinary delights in the near east, inspired cocktails, a lounge in free and entertainment. this is with a baroque style, best shown by the enormous chandeliers and red velvet drape over the restaurant room. this makes an interesting contrast, since mamounia does not try to reconstruct a Moroccan restaurant, but it aims at an eclectic mix. < br/> despite the decadent decoration there is a relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant, and as a result would be an ideal place for relaxed group eating weather for lunch or dinner. if they like to be entertained during the eating, then mamounia the place for them, as post 9pm they have a series of belly dancer and even djs we tried the mamounia special, which was similar to a mojito and exactly what we needed to cool on a hot day. at the beginning we ordered a well seasoned batata harra and hommus kawarma, which was embroidered with medaillons from lamb and pine nuts. both appetizers came in good time ordered and were a good portion size to begin our meal. for our main course I ordered the chicken kafta, the grilled spits of chop ham with fresh coriander, garlic, green and red pfeffer grilled. I was very impressed by this court, since the hawn was incredibly moist and tender, in which it literally melted in mouth. Although chicken kafta is probably a court that they can order in many restaurants in london, the court here was of a superior quality and definitiw one of the best chopsticks I had! my sweet ess accompanyer chose the grilled lamb cut and was equally impressed by the moist texture of the lamb. the spice on both was also divine and added a beautiful additional layer to the plate. we had sides of rice and more batata hara with our food and although this was a quite great meal, we had to try some desserts before we left! although mamounia have a selection of traditional Moroccan and Lebanese desserts, I gave myself my chocolate eater and ordered the homemade chocolate fondant with vanillest fresh. as this desert is made to order, it took about ten minutes to come, but this offered us the time to digest our previous courses! when the chocolate fondant arrived, it was warm and tasty creamy and made a wonderful paring with the ice. the fruits, which were usually a sortiment an berries, added to the sweet taste a welcome tangent. the baklava were not the traditional simple choice we thought we ordered and they were neither crispy or sweet. I probably had better baklava. this was, however, the only criticism of the food itself and they were redeemed by serving the perfect Moroccan tees. Can i afford Seconds? although located in knightsbridge, mamounia is not an overly expensive restaurant, especially served for the quality of the feeds. the most important courses including the daily start at £14 and dessert are also in the £6 series and the unique selection of cocktails are about £8. total? 3.5/5br br br/> eating in the mamounia lounge knightsbridge was definitiw the highlight of the experience. the service varied between the attempt too hard to pay much attention, but this can be because it seemed new workers on the day we have visited to train. we have not been hanging around for the entertainment as we were there"
