Indian Restaurant in Gauthier — Anarkali By Zahid

Gauthier is one of the trendiest neighborhoods of Casablanca — the bistros, the boutiques, the energy of a young creative crowd. When the time comes for an Indian dinner with depth, Anarkali By Zahid at Urban Square Maarif is just 8 minutes away by car. Authentic Punjabi cuisine, royal Mughal ambiance, charcoal tandoor.

From Gauthier to Anarkali

The route is simple: Boulevard Mohamed V to Maarif, exit at Urban Square. 8 minutes by car off-peak, 12-15 in evening traffic. Free secure parking on arrival. From the heart of Gauthier (Place Mers Sultan area), it's also doable by short taxi (~20 dirhams).

Our Authentic Punjabi Cuisine

Chef Zahid Master trained in Punjab. At Anarkali, the tandoor burns charcoal — never gas — like in original villages. Marinades go 24 hours minimum. Masalas are house-ground. This shows in:

• Royal Biryani — saffron basmati, marinated meat, sealed dum cooking
• Tandoori Chicken — whole chicken, charcoal tandoor, orange-red crust
• Butter Chicken — Delhi 1950 recipe, tomato-cream-butter sauce
• Laal Maas — Rajasthani lamb, deep red spicy sauce
• Cheese Naan — tandoor bread with melted cheese
• Signature mocktails — Anarkali Sunset, Royal Mojito

The Anarkali Experience

The decor is a complete shift from Gauthier's bistro vibe: hand-sculpted gold mandala, brass chandeliers, cream armchairs, Mughal lanterns, gold wall. A journey to imperial India, 8 minutes from your aperitif. Royal hall capable of hosting romantic dinners, business meals, birthdays, family celebrations.

Perfect 5/5 rating on TripAdvisor and Google. To discover the full ambiance: Anarkali By Zahid home page.
