Mirage Express opened last week at 4000 Dutchmans Lane, replacing Peking City Express, and I checked it out on Saturday. In addition to its regular menu (kabobs, shawarma, etc.) it had a steam table with a half-dozen daily specials, including Moroccan chicken (which I wound up getting), lamb with orzo, vegetable stew with eggplant and a ground beef dish. The woman working there was very nice; she offered me samples of the specials before I ordered, and gave me some free baklava with my food.
I’m not very familiar with Mediterranean food, so I can’t say how authentic the Moroccan chicken was, but I enjoyed it and will go back to try more of the menu. My order cost $15 and included the chicken, rice, a side salad and pita bread. It was easily enough food for dinner and then lunch the next day.
Mirage Express has a few tables if you want to eat there, but I think it’s primarily a carry-out operation. It’s connected with the Mirage restaurant on Preston Highway and seems to have the same menu.
