Bringing some of Morocco's best dishes and pantry items to Smorgasburg in Brooklyn NY this spring.

Growing up in Morocco, I was immersed in a rich culinary culture. With Nadia’s Kitchen, I hope to bring an overlooked, diversely rich cuisine to light by presenting classic Moroccan dishes to serve street style. My sister and I would come home from school for lunch together, and on our way up to our third floor apartment, we would talk over each other trying to guess what the midday feast would be by the aromatic, heady scent that would float down the stairs. 

B’stilla is the Moroccan interpretation of a meat pie; the perfect combination of sweet and savory, it is Morocco’s essential dish. It is made with slow-braised chicken in aromatic spices and caramelized onions folded over a bed of crushed almonds, wrapped up in flaky layers of phylo dough, and finally topped with a decorative pattern of powdered sugar and Saigon cinnamon. 

B’stilla will be the main cooked item that I will offer on the stand. I’ll also incorporate a weekly tagine special, changing the ingredients every week. I would also love to feature Moroccan pantry essentials: my own homemade, authentic staples of Moroccan cooking, such as preserved lemons and complex spice blends. 


After spending the last fourteen years working in various food establishments in New York, the time is right for me to share my personal culinary memories and my own love for cooking. Moroccan food is often experimented with in other restaurants, but there is no place where Moroccan cuisine is the sole focus. I want to create an authentic source to share the warm, aromatic food I grew up with, and present the true vision of Moroccan cuisine. I will be joining a great family of vendors in New York at this year's Smorgasburg with my team at Nadia’s Kitchen, and to share my love of Moroccan food with the city that I love the most.
