Khamsa
DAY 2: 6-Course Contemporary Moroccan Dinner Series
Opened in 2017, Khamsa takes traditional Moroccan recipes that Chef/Owner Adil Elamrani learned in Marrakech under the tutelage of his mother and reimagines them with a contemporary California twist. The azure-painted space recalls Chefchaouen, Morocco’s famous “blue city,” and the décor deftly mixes ornate elements, like hand-painted tiles and wall hangings, with a modernist design sensibility. It’s extraordinary how well those two cultures meld. Chef Elamrani, who moved to the U.S. eight years ago, has created a menu that perfectly straddles the line between innovation and tradition. That means you can expect plenty of eggplant, almonds, za’taar, and all your favorite Moroccan flavors, presented in a more unconventional way. As usual, we'll be taking over the entire restaurant for this event and Chef Elamrani will be coming out of the kitchen periodically to discuss his life’s journey and his love for the cuisine of his homeland.
About the Host:
Adil Elamrani
Executive Chef & Owner
A self-trained chef, Elamrani grew up in the old streets of Marrakech, Morocco. He moved stateside eight years ago to get a degree in marketing from San Francisco State University, but found himself missing the cuisine of his homeland so he decided to open Khamsa with two friends.
