At Mazagan, a glimpse of modern Morocco

If you've come to the new Moroccan restaurant in Arlington expecting to sit among arches, lanterns and extravagant kilim rugs, you'll be in for a surprise. Mazagan favors the contemporary over the customary in many of its details. Proof is as immediate as the bar, where up-to-date cocktails are dispensed, and an open kitchen that puts Riyad Bouizar, the chef and owner, center stage.
