Mazel مزال Cafe

Top top food, even gluten-free, good, young and fast

Ticked all the boxes for good food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good location and even options for me, someone who has a gluten issue. There are two Mazel cafes, ones near the main square where I was staying, and one at the Mellah. I went to both, but was quite ill in the second one so can't really talk about that. Mazel near the main square had loads of options for vegetarians, including very good falafel, bowls, burgers and pitta. I had the quinoa bowl as that's one of the few things I could actually have.. without wheat/gluten/ Food was really good, refreshing, and the ice tea was absolutely delicious too. I went once in the evening and had a dessert also which was decent. Some kind of light ice-cream with nuts and chocolate. The first mazel I went to was just next to Jemaa el-Fnaa, making it super convenient. It has a lovely roof garden which I'd recommend sitting in, but mind your head on the loo. I smashed my head... The other one is slap bang in the middle of a square and near markets, right next to the Jewish quarter. I don't know if any of the staff understood that Mazel is a Jewish word, especially at the restaurant right next to the Jewish quarter. There was certainly no references to any Jewish link there. Prices were pretty standard, nothing to complain about, but not really cheap either.
