What People Are Saying About Aziza

Citysearch
Among the several great Moroccan eateries in this city, Aziza may be the one that transcends its "ethnic" category to become a restaurant sought after not by fans of North African cuisine but for anyone who wants to try San Francisco's best restaurants, period. With oversized, cobalt blue banquettes and arched, Arabesque alcoves, the interior resembles the ancient fortress palaces of Marrakech, though the service is distinctly formal and upscale Western-style. Self-taught--and critically acclaimed--chef Mourad Lalou's rich, innovative twists on traditional Moroccan favorites are almost unanimously suberb, but there are standouts: the mildly spiced, grilled lamb sausage made in-house and served with thick tomato compote; baba ganoush, called "eggplant mousse" here, and served as part of the spreads plate, is among the best in San Francisco. The main courses are beautiful in concept and execution. One shining example is the lamb shank, which is braised in honey-kumquat sauce and served over caramelized dried fruits--a magnificent pairing of savory and sweet.

Eating at Aziza is as much an experience as a meal, an evening's journey to the Middle East. Excellent, authentic food, tasty and presented well, a nice wine list, and beautiful decor all combine to create a wonderful experience.

Overpriced. The food was okay but at those prices I expect much better service. We waited at our table 15 minutes without any service. I had to get up to flag down a waiter to take our order and even then the service was just mediocre feeling a bit like we were an inconvenience. Overall we left a $150 dollar meal for 2 people (2 glasses of wine) feeling disapointed and like we had wasted our money. At those prices it should be a great experience all the way around.

What to Drink:
Mixologists at the diminutive bar blend a frothy, slightly sweet Marrakech Express, which is akin to a White Russian with a shot of espresso.
