Cous Cous Cafe

North May Avenue Moroccan cooking, and the one pick here that arrives at the burrito from somewhere else entirely. Oklahoma Gazette's Greg Elwell singled out its falafel burrito, which wraps fried falafel and hummus with brown rice, Moroccan salad and tahini sauce in a wheat tortilla. Greg Horton's 405 Magazine guide to North May covers the kitchen behind it, pointing to harira, loubia and tagine. Order the falafel burrito, then come back for a tagine.

Couscous Cafe centers Moroccan cooking within a broader Mediterranean menu. Tagines, couscous platters, grilled meats, hummus, and mint tea bring aromatic spices and slow-cooked textures to the table. The casual May Avenue room makes it easy to build a meal from shared dips before moving into a hearty main dish.

Couscous Cafe serves gyro meat with warm pita and tzatziki alongside Moroccan specialties, tagines, and couscous. The gyro can function as a familiar entry point before exploring the kitchen's deeper spice and stew work. Long daily hours and a broad menu make the May Avenue restaurant useful for mixed groups.
