Morroccan
Marrakesh is still there. If the reason you're asking is because you can't find it when driving by, that's because the name doesn't appear in English on the exterior, which is stark except for an ornate entryway and the name in Arabic script. It's at 6th and New York Avenue, NW. Someone wrote: : Isn't there a Morroccan place on New York Avenue? I thought it : was called Marakkesh.

Went to Dar es Salam (which it struck me really should have been a Tanzanian restaurant, but I haven't seen any of those here) last week, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Figure on $20-25/person without alcohol. Interesting, if somewhat jarring decor -- sit with your back to the center of the room so you don't have to see the floral tablecloths fighting with the vibrant upholstery and the mosaic walls all night -- and somewhat diffident service. But the couscous was out of sight.
