Comments on: Review: Alhambra Tapas bar & Moorish Cuisine at Manly http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/04/09/alhambra-tapas-bar-moorish-cuisine-at-manly/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I just believe that we hadn't seen it or heard of it before. Glad that you enjoyed your birthday! :) Hi Aiyana-It was a great choice. I just believe that we hadn’t seen it or heard of it before.

I wasn't sure what the restaurant would be like as I hadn't been there before, although wanted to try something different. The food was delicious & dancing entertaining (Snugglepot turned out to be a natural at Flamenco Dance). I'd like to go back their again. Yes, I had a great time for my Birthday.

The beautiful Maroccan plate made the vegetarian couscous even more delicious. Snugglepot's flamenco in her red Spanish looking skirt got as much clapping as the experienced flamenco dancers.

Actually I have a few groups of people that I go places with, some are more adventurous and forgiving than others and some are vegetarian but they're all wonderfully foodie and understand my need to photograph everything :lol: Even the people I work with understand and at work lunches, I've whipped out my camera and they've done plate swaps with me! ROFL Ben Stiller-very true! I never thought of that. It was a great night out and I have now put some paella pans and moroccan style crockery on my wishlist ;) Oh and when you visit Sydney Manly isn't so close to your sister but it is a great trip across the harbour on the ferry though :) Hi Maria-I have some great foodie friends and family.

I'd love the chance to dine out with a bunch of people more often too.. you must have some great foodie friends! As usual, I'm learning things by coming here. I'd never heard of "B'Stilla" before.. it almost sounds like an abbreviation fof "Ben Stiller"! :-P It looks delicious, but I believe you when you say it confused your palate! Minted yoghurt.. lemons.. olives, potatoes and couscous.. I just adore these things. Love the look of Moroccan style crockery whenever I see it too. :-) A tasty night out with atmosphere by the looks of it.
