Goat in the Tree

You're walking into Park Road's best-kept food secret, where the smell of cumin and cinnamon hits you before you've even sat down. Goat in the Tree does Moroccan food the right way — no shortcuts, no trying to be trendy about it. The kitchen takes their time with tagines that fall apart at the fork, couscous that's fluffy and proper, and lamb dishes that taste like someone's grandmother spent all day getting them right. It's the kind of place where regulars know exactly what they're ordering, and newcomers quickly understand why this spot's got such a loyal following.
