Tucked away in Morocco’s Tangierine Café at Epcot, you can find a Pastries and Coffee Bar with an assortment of beverages, including coffee, beer, cocktails and even a Moroccan Mint Tea.
You can also find an assortment of pastries, including three types of Baklava: Walnut, Pistachio, and Cashew. I asked the Cast Member which one he recommended, and he suggested Cashew.
I obliged and ordered the Cashew Baklava.

Okay. I’ve avoided this for a week now. I have not seen The Avengers, nor do I really care to. Matt can’t stand the super hero thing. I’m more of a Batman kind of girl, and I don’t even see those movies in the theaters. Sure, I have a small comic book collection, but they’re pretty much all on Slave Labor Graphics and feature artists like Jhonen Vasquez and Roman Dirge. Oh, and The Hulk will always be Lou Ferrigno in my heart. What I can’t look past is the attention the shawarma scene is getting. Just Google “the avengers shawarma” and see what I mean if you haven’t seen the movie.
At Ro Ro’s Chicken — a famed Lebanese joint in Hollywood — the manager says shawarma sales jumped 80% in the days after the movie opened. We’re told the same thing happened a few years back when a baba ghanouj joke was featured in “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.” – TMZ
So without further ado, get out there and get some shawarma! Tangierine Cafe in Morocco at Epcot is our top pick, featuring both lamb and chicken shawarma.

Before watching Trace Adkins at Candlelight Processional the other night, we stopped for a quick bite with some friends at Tangierine Cafe. All table service restaurants were booked until 8pm or later, and we were too hungry to wait until then. Our friends had never eaten there before as they tend to stick to more familiar foods. The line was short and the restaurant was on our way to America Gardens Theatre, so we stopped in.
One of our friends ordered the Chicken and Lamb Shawarma Platter. I think the only item he wasn’t crazy about was the Tabouleh, which is understandable when here, parsley is seen as a garnish or seasoning incorporated in a dish, not the main component of a salad.

As you’re all well aware, we LOVE Tangierine Café in the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot. We recently had lunch and dinner there, and we returned once again last weekend. This time we both ordered the Lamb Shawarma platter (we had the lamb and chicken combo last time). There were a few differences that I wanted to note.
