Find a cushy spot, order a bottle of Aussie wine and sink into this exotic setting which takes its inspiration from the Middle East and North Africa.
Mecca Bah brings some Middle Eastern and North African flavours to the centre of Brissie's nightlife scene in Fortitude Valley.
Just imagine lounging about, indulging in delicacies and sinking into cushy settings. Yep, this place lets you be a sultan - of sorts. The decor sets the mood and theme. Here, Moroccan-style interiors glow under lights which feature screen-printed gold-leaf designs. Comfy lounge seats encircle the wall of the dining area and are topped with cushions and pillows that have been upholstered with exotic fabrics. Here, you can booze away and pretend you and your mates are sultans, on the pull in ... ahem ... Fortitude Valley? Well, it's your fantasy. Suspend all disbelief!
Expect to find beer brands such as Asahi, Coopers Pale Ale, Stella Artois and XXXX on tap, plus a reasonably long Australian wine list.
If you're feeling peckish, order some share plates to pass around your clan of mates. Offerings include spicy Turkish kofte, breads and dips, Moroccan chicken pastries, tagines and chickpea-battered mussels served with almond skordalia.
