Mourad Lahlou, born in Marrakesh, came to California in 1985 to study economics at San Francisco State University and taught himself Moroccan cooking before opening his first restaurant, Kasbah, in San Rafael in 1996. In 2001 he opened Aziza — named for his mother — in San Francisco's Richmond District as chef-owner, where his modern treatment of Moroccan cooking with Northern California ingredients earned a Michelin star in 2010, reported as the first awarded to a Moroccan restaurant; he won Iron Chef America in 2009 and was a James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: West. He published the cookbook "Mourad: New Moroccan" in 2011 and opened the fine-dining restaurant Mourad in San Francisco's PacBell Building in 2015; Aziza closed in 2016 and he reopened it at 5800 Geary Boulevard on 21 October 2019.
