Brahim Ighladen left a career in the jewelery business to open Marrakesh Express (4407 Chestnut St., 215-222-9008), a 32-seat Moroccan eatery, about five weeks back. He's serving a traditional Moroccan menu, with eats like tagines (lamb or chicken), shawarma and plenty of lamb � one popular derivation sees leg morsels marinated in herbs and olive oil overnight before being piled onto bread Moroccan sammy style. Prices top out at $10.50.
It's run as a halal establishment, meaning it's an alcohol-free environment. (Also, yes, we know about the song.)
Hours: Mon.-Sat., 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m.; Sun., noon-8 p.m.
