Reviews
Heritage Chicken, with preserved lemon and olives, is arguably one of the best roast chickens in the city (a tall order!) — perfectly succulent, juicy and ultra-clean tasting. A symphony for the eyes and nose.
Grilled Broccolini and Humus with Pita Bread are also great accompaniments.
The restaurant was packed but we never felt that service was too slow. There was even a power outage in the middle of our meal for the entire neighborhood, but the staff handled it in stride and our dishes continued to come – beautifully plated at that!
We ordered the trio of dips (the almond one was particularly good) which came with a well spiced and chewy sumac flatbread, the burrata with carrot ginger dukkah and crusty bread that was divine, the prawns which were perfectly cooked and presented beautifully, and the cauliflower which was a standout as it tasted like an elevated cauliflower Manchurian for our starters.
Our mains were the cous cous with winter squash and the cous cous was so fluffy and creamy, as well as the whole grilled fish which was amazing and served with a side salad.
We also enjoyed the cornbread and the grilled broccolini as our sides.
We were too full for dessert and even had leftovers to go!
The drinks – cocktails and wine – were spot on, and I particularly enjoyed the desert dawn which was like an orange espresso martini.
Aziza is one of my favorite spots in the city and you can’t miss with a meal here.
Moving onto the food, we ordered sumac flatbread, trio of spreads, charred prawns, basteeya, shakshuka, and couscous — served in that order.. Aziza started off incredibly strong with the flatbread and spreads; the flavors were bold and vibrant, and the bread tasted freshly baked. The prawns were solid as well, with the green apples adding a nice touch. But after such an impressive start, the basteeya didn’t quite keep the pace. We were told that it’s the restaurant’s signature dish, but it felt a bit more familiar than expected rather than something particularly standout. It was still a solid dish, just not as special as we had hoped.
Around the time we finished the basteeya, the restaurant became noticeably busier, and we ended up waiting quite a while for the shakshuka and couscous. Maybe it was coincidence, but it definitely felt like the kitchen slowed down once the influx of guests arrived. When they did come out, both dishes were enjoyable, though once again they leaned more toward straightforward and familiar than anything especially distinctive.
If the restaurant can sort out the communal table spacing and smooth out the pacing of the meal, I’d be more than happy to return. With service as warm and attentive as we experienced, I’d certainly look forward to coming back.
Waitstaff was extremely insightful and genuinely friendly. Made excellent recommendations including the ‘deviled egg’ (which it is not but I don’t have the menu in front of me at the moment!) which was an amazing combination of flavors and textures. The Beghrir pancakes were amazing and very filling, highly recommend an order to share. Excellent cocktails as well.
