Our apps included the (1) Spicy Chickpea Bowl, Ras Fries, Spinach Briouats and Spicy Shawarma Hummus.
The briouats filling’ was a lovingly creamy texture due to the spinach and cheese with an amazing and complex garlic flavor, all wrapped in flaky phyllo. It also came with a spicy sauce which I even used with the pita I thought was brilliant. The spicy shawarma hummus was also delightfully creamy and served with pita. It wasn’t grainy at all and I’d even describe the taste as delicate and nuanced- not too spicy at all.
The chickpeas and fries were simple but great- I’d like the fries to come with a little more seasoning or mix the seasoning more evenly, but there was another spicy harissa-based sauce it came with that was great.
Our entrees were the (1) Chicken a l’Orange, (2) White Fish and Bouillabaisse, (3) Shepherd’s Pie, and the (4) Lamb Tagine Makfoul.
Overall, the portions of all the entrees were huge! Almost all of us took our meals home, and that’s not because they were loaded with carbs. The orange chicken dishes had an amazing natural-tasting orange sauce that had a nice amount of heat with tender on-the-bone chicken and couscous. The shepherd’s pie was also amazing with smooth potatoes and a very complex sauce which had a similar super warming heat to it. The lamb tagine had so much meat and the cinnamon and honey were perfectly balanced to the dish and came with a bowl of rice.
I’ve eaten many different cuisines in Manhattan and this restaurant is among the best.
We ordered a variety of dishes: rice chicken bowl, boneless chicken, golden chicken, shrimp pil pil, Moroccan shepherd’s pie, and lamb kebab. Every single dish was flavorful and satisfying. I personally had the shrimp pil pil, and it was perfectly spicy with a rich, bold flavor, just the way I like it. The portions were generous, and we didn’t have to wait long for our food, which made the whole experience even better.
After such a hearty meal, we were hesitant to order tea, but we’re so glad we did! We shared two pots of Moroccan tea, and it was the perfect way to end the meal—refreshing, great for digestion, and served in the cutest little glasses.
The ambiance was authentic and full of charm, with a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff were incredibly attentive and kind, even surprising the birthday guest with a beautiful slice of cake, a candle, and a sweet gesture involving singing, such a thoughtful touch!
We’re already planning to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious Moroccan food and a genuinely lovely dining experience.
At Tara Kitchen the dish is greatly flavored with some exotic Moroccan spices and was amazingly delicious. As I loved the place and hung on for a while I got to try some of their other signature dishes. Yummmmmmelicious !
As i staid I tried a cocktail here and it was just as good.
A real hidden gem. Totally loved it
