Lonely Planet review for Mechoui Alley
Just before noon, the vendors at this row of stalls start carving up steaming sides of mechoui (slow-roasted lamb), as though expecting King Henry VIII for lunch. Point to the best-looking cut of meat, and ask for a ‘nuss’ (half) or ‘rubb’ (quarter) kilo. Some haggling might ensue, but should procure a baggie of falling-off-the-bone delicious lamb with fresh-baked bread, cumin, salt and olives (though you’re better off picking out your own across the souq).
