What People Are Saying About Zagora Restaurant

In Short
A cooly elegant dining room is filled with couples and neighborhood locals digging into spice-laden plates. Servers deliver dishes such as lamb tajine, lamb shank slow roasted with apricots, dry prunes and toasted goma seeds, and wok-fired snapper served with Moroccan caper berries, artichokes and olives. Sweet endings include a sweet custard trio (mint, rosewater and date) and a North African take on a Southern favorite--warm apricot cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream.

The place was totally empty, yet they refused to sell us a plate of hummus without the sausage. The harissa butter was both frozen and disgusting. and the fennel bread was so revolting as to be inedible. My tagine resembled tasteless chicken jerky, and I had to beg the owner to remove it from the bill, despite the fact that I had eaten about two bites before sending it back. My husband's lamb was equally lacking in flavor. I have been to Morocco and to many Moroccan restaurants besides, and this was easily one of the worst restaurants I have EVER had the misfortune to stumble upon. The service was fine, but that was because we were the only occupied table in the entire restaurant. Clearly everyone else knew something we didn't. We fled before dessert, and I will never return.

Went there on a weekday evening for dinner and was surprised to see the place a bit empty so i was skeptical of the food, but I was very impressed! Service was wonderful for the waiter paid much attention to detail. I had the snapper and my friend had the lamb, bother were delightful and well worth the price! Very romantic and intimate.

What a pleasant surprise and nice addition to this corner of the mission. Very sophisticated food, good flavors, good service reasonably priced wine list..I could go on and on. We casually walked in with a group of 4 last night and were blown away by the food: appetizer-loved the chicken bastilla and eggplant; entre-I have the Lamb Tajine which was very well done, snapper was good as well as the shrimp brocchettes. Dessert was good although we only tried one-the crumble. We will go back as I think this is one of our new favorites.
