he Sultan's Tent recreates Morocco with music and food. You can enter and leave at your leisure, and the people require little more than a tip. Isn't that better than actually being a Sultan? We all saw how it turned out for Jafar in Aladin- not so good.

Owners Coby and Martin Heikoop and Jackie Olsen have finally found a new spot for this Sultan’s tent- inside Kensington Mews on the east side of 14th street. The resto has the same Moroccan artifacts as before, making you feel like you’ve actually entered a Sultan’s tent somewhere in the desert. Booths are perfect for bringing a large group of people, so come one, come all. The tables are either wood or brass, which ups the rich-Sultan feel. Tapestries and other Moroccan paintings/artifacts are meticulously placed in an attempt to recreate the former location’s aura.

Chef Houssine Ismaili returns back to the Sultan’s kitchen once again. If you’re nervous about trying Moroccan cuisine, take it slow. Try some couscous or tajines, which are dishes slow cooked in a special pot to retain the flavors and essence. And if you need more encouragement, here’s a great idea- try eating with your hands! Cutlery is optional, as the custom is to eat with the right hand. Just don’t go crazy and shove both hands into the dish, smearing it all over your face. Yes, we all want to, but no, you won’t be allowed back.
