What People Are Saying About Tajine--CLOSED

The Scene – Service and decor are mere afterthoughts at this no-frills joint, with room for about 30, where the draws are the flavors (and prices) of owner Mohammed Ghaleb's native cooking. Ambience is warmed by a pastiche of colorful posters, lanterns, throw pillows and fez hats on male servers. Staff speak mostly French and maneuver the simple dining room enthusiastically but haphazardly. Cuisine is halal (acceptable to the Muslim religion)--alcohol is not served, but there is no corkage fee if you bring your own. – – The Food – The Moroccan food here achieved…

Tajine Rules! New location has tons of space!
by rockngal
I love Tajine and the vibe that you feel there... it feels like home, family around, nice people to chat with, great food and great prices. The special tea they serve is the best i have ever had, perfectly sweetened and smells like heaven. Mohamed the owner and chef is always there to greet you with a smile and offer suggestions if you can?t decide what you want. The new location is great, is roomy and has beautiful Moroccan art on the walls.
- Pros: the service, food, staff

Best Food Ever!!
by sfmn11
I love this restaurant! I have eaten at plenty of Moroccan restaurants in the area and nothing compares to Tajine. The new location on Polk has much more seating and has a great ambiance. The food is amazing! I have tried everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Everyting from the Shermoulah to the Lamb Tajine is excellent. Go try it out!
- Pros: Tasty tasty! Good service. Authentic.
- Cons: Can't think of any
The Details on Tajine--CLOSED
What to Drink:
Order the mint tea--not only is it a treat to watch it poured from above, it's a perfect complement to the cuisine.
Fun Fact:
"Tajine" is pronounced "tah-zheen," and means a savory Moroccan stew cooked in a special, conical, stone pot.
The Extras:
Tajines and kebab plates are served with house-made Moroccan bread.
BYOB:
The restaurant does not serve alcohol, but there is no corkage fee for those who choose to bring their own wine. Beware, however, that only paper cups are provided and there is a house-beverage purchase required.
