We went to this place on the evening of Valentine’s Day, and it took the staff a little while to get us seated – hence the four stars. But from then on (a huge thank you to Abigail), the evening became entirely about taste. The Rosebud was so vibrant and refreshing. The trio of spreads arrived like a flavor overture, the lebni and the smoked trout roe being delightfully briny and indulgent. The salmon with beets and kumquats was subtle. The grilled whole branzino struck that perfect balance between soft and crisp, its charmoula earthy with just the right kick. The kefta brochette carried a mild, aromatic warmth that lingered pleasantly. And the delicately spiced harissa butter elevated the soft and deliciously dense cornbread into something memorable. Whatever mild annoyance I felt while waiting for our table simply evaporated. The staff are open to explaining dishes before you order, and they’re genuinely lovely while doing so. I don’t usually comment on restrooms , but this one deserves a mention. It’s more like a dimly lit lounge, with live plants, a vintage gilded mirror , and plenty of space to paise and admire the aesthetic. In true San Francisco fashion – a tiny wait, big flavors, and a night that felt deliciously worth the reservation scramble.

Came here for a casual brunch with the family. We ordered the two lattes, Burrata, French toasts, shrimp, and eggs Benedict. The Burrata was exceptional, except it only came with two small pieces of sour dough… I could use double the amount of bread. Everything else was good. No complaints.

Exceptional is every way! Every dish we ordered was phenomenal, truly. Not only beautiful presentation, but unique and delicious flavors. Great vibe, friendly staff, and very good mocktail and wine list too. Best dishes included the cauliflower (wow!!) and the cornbread (melt in your mouth good!!)!! Highly recommend!

Excellent delicious flavorful food! We had the octopus, cauliflower, lamb and corn bread – 10/10!!! Also super kind staff! Only thing to note: it is very loud. If you’re looking for a quiet place to dine, I’m not sure this would be the place.

High-quality, high-end Moroccan cuisine, with modern California touches that deconstruct but stay true to the core flavors and ingredients of the North African palette.

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.

We had a lovely family dinner here and an amazing experience with the kind and accommodating staff. Justin, the general manager, was so helpful and gave great recommendations for food and drink.

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.

After our dinner service at Aziza, we were left with very mixed feelings about the place. Our seating was the high top communal table, which on its own is fine. What is not fine, however, is barely leaving any space between parties and forcing people to sit very closely together. We thankfully had some space between us and the other parties at the table, but that was only because a couple that was supposed to be next to us was upset and got relocated somewhere else. Otherwise our waiter was splendid, and the service was decent overall.

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.

Superb brunch experience, in brief will definitely look forward to dining again and hopefully try dinner.

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.

Came here for a Valentine’s dinner and each dish we ordered was delicious! We got the two veggie spreads (piquillo+almond, hummus) with sumac flatbread, two appetizers (cauliflower and the burrata), and the shakshuka and lamb shank. Would highly recommend!!!
