Babouch is an award-winning Moroccan restaurant owned by Kamal Keroles and located in San Pedro, California. At Babouch, Keroles creates more than simply a dining experience. He gives customers a fantasy right out of the Arabian Nights. Patrons enter an unprepossessing building and walk through a beaded curtain to find a surprise: a luxurious dining room hung with tapestries and lanterns with oriental carpets underfoot. Spices scent the air. Babouch Restaurant beckons patrons to relax and lounge on low, velvety couches and enjoy a leisurely meal of many courses served on inlaid mosaic tables. As a sign of hospitality, waiters appear bearing carafes of warm water and bowls to wash patrons’ hands before and after dinner. Belly dancers gyrate to traditional music among the tables, adding to the alluring ambiance. Tarot card readers table hop, telling Babouch patrons their fortunes. (Tarot card readings are free of charge, although tips are welcome.) At Babouch Restaurant, patrons can choose from vegetarian and meat dishes that mix the flavors and textures of the Middle East with those of North Africa. Sweets and savories alike come wrapped in crispy, paper-thin layers of filo dough. Keroles knows how to provide palate pleasers that keep his loyal patrons coming back for more.
