Cafe Magala

Saturday night we drove up to a big, yellow house that claimed to Cafe Magala. I had researched where we wanted to eat and this one looked neat online! We were a little tentative because there wasn't a clear front door. So we followed another couple and found our way into the beautiful dining room.
It was our first tapas experience and their selections were AWESOME! Truly almost like eating at home for us because of their use of spices and unique combinations.

Below:
Seared shrimp in a garlic aioli
baby red bell peppers stuffed with goat cheese & crostini on a bed of kalmata caramel ^(AMAZING!)
sauteed spinach with crisp garlic, pine nuts and raisins
Moroccan beef skewers with mango sauce <-- (also AMAZING!)

We didn't even get pictures of the hummus and buttery, soft pitas we had for an appetizer or SmithCale's spanish potato tortilla or sadly, the really scrumptious chocolate mousse we had for dessert.

We can't wait to visit again just for the restaurants (and to see my mom, of course)!
