Moroccan Comfort Food From An Award-Winning Chef. Hailed by Eater NY as “the city’s best Moroccan restaurant to have opened in years,” and included in their “15 Hottest New Restaurants in Manhattan” (March 2023), Tara Kitchen Tribeca is the latest venture from Chef Aneesa Waheed. For over a decade, Tara Kitchen has featured vibrant, deeply flavorful food that has earned it a devoted following in locations across the Capital Region and in Tribeca, NY. Vibrant, not fiery, our dishes are seasoned with spices that reflect Morocco’s history as a cultural crossroad. Signature tagines are fragrant with earthy cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and fruits like dried figs and apricots, prunes add subtle sweetness, and olives, a salty pop.
Moroccan dishes & imported wines offered in narrow, laid-back quarters with bar & table seating.

We had a wonderful meal at Tara kitchen! The lamb was so tender it literally broke apart with a fork. The sauce was so flavorful and delicious. And not only was the food delicious, the atmosphere was just so cozy and comfortable. The host, Montesim, was very kind and explained everything to us. And we loved the music. I think it might have been Nora Jones.

Absolutely phenomenal meal. From the moment we walked in, we could see (and smell!) the sizzling pans on the stovetop right by the bar — instantly intrigued and excited to learn more about the ingredients.
We ordered the grilled fish, a vegetarian dish with chickpeas, eggplant and prunes, and a lamb entrée — every single dish was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The flavors were rich, layered, and beautifully authentic.
The chef (possibly the owner) was cooking right there in front, which made the experience feel even more special and personal. It’s a small but mighty team — bartender, waiter, and chef — and you can feel the care in every detail.

The food was good. The dessert was the best. I used to know the owners and loved it when they worked there. Different atmosphere and lots of dishes added to the menu now. I was passing by Schenectady and thought I’d stop in. Will come back again.

The food and service at Tara Kitchen is second to none. You’ll discover incredible flavors and unique dishes that never disappoint. I love ordering a variety of their appetizers and turning that into my meal. It’s always the first place I think of when out of towners ask for recommendations.

We went on a Thursday night during prime dinner hours. There was a 20 min wait but with no reservations that was ok with us. Food was amazing and the service was great!! Well worth the wait! We were kindly greeting with water, their house green tea and menus by our server. We decided to get signature drinks – flying fig martini and the Moroccan sunrise – both very well made and tasty. We got the Moroccan ‘cigars’ for an appetizer which were very good and the sauce on it made it even better. For the entrees we selected the lamb meatballs w/ spaghetti in a special house made sauce which was very good and meat balls were big! And we got the Chicken Tagine with tomato jam, Harissa, almonds and figs – this dish was outstanding!! Both came with a side of seasoned rice and warm pita bread. We also order the charred broccoli with garlic and that was perfectly charred and very yummy. The portions were good sized we ended up wrapping the rest of our meals and ordered desserts to go. We got the cheesecake- topped with a berry sauce and crushed pistachios and baclava- delish! Definitely will go back!!

Food is always great. The staff is friendly, especially Anissa’s daughters. They are just lovely kids. Can’t think of a better place for a birthday dinner.

I came across this hidden gem on my way to Canada. A cozy Moroccan cuisine with big flavor. The eggplant appetizer dip and chicken vegetable are absolutely delicious. The vegetable is cooked to perfection, fresh, sweet and subtly tangy. Their pita is thicker than store bought pita, which gave a dense texture.

Came to this place second time a year later and the food is delicious as expected.

So glad I stopped in. From out of town, i was wandering Schenectady admiring the old houses. I was looking for a unique restaurant in a fun location. My first time having Moroccan good and I loved it. All of the servers and staff were super friendly. The food was delicious. I had a spicy dip appetizer and there lamb stew with spinach and onions. So good.

I was in Schenectady for work for the week and some locals told us we had to check out Tara kitchen and I’m so glad we took the chance! It is very unassuming from the outside but the food is out of this world delicious! I will definitely pick my hotel to be close to here when I come back for work!
