September 2024 | Beverly Hills: In a series of birthday celebrations for my birthday month, friends surprised me w/reservations at Tagine Beverly Hills! Fun!
Decor: Love! Once we stepped inside, I immediately said... Reminds me of Morocco!!! Love the deep, rich colors, woodwork, chandeliers, and just the whole vibe! Beautiful! Loves the low lighting, along with candles! Even the dinner plates were stunning! I felt the essence of Morocco at this this restaurant for sure!
Customer Service: Friendly & lots of laughs from each person we encountered, very welcoming! I'm also incredibly grateful that my friends had given them my birthday cake, which was hidden in the kitchen & they brought out after dinner! Thanks again!
Vegetarian Tagine: As to the food, the appetizers had flavor, and then came the main meal, a Vegetarian Tagine, which I was so excited for, as all of the spices would bring back memories of being in Morocco last year! Unfortunately, there was no flavor. I received just a few veggies on top of mashed potatoes... I was confused! Moroccan food is full of spices and flavor...! I asked our server if they were spices and she said yes! So I then asked for harissa to bring about the flavor... Didn't help... I took a few bites and didn't finish...
Water: $9 Still Water & $9 Sparkling Water! What?!
Wine: Perfect recommendations!
Overall: Loved the decor, vibe, excellent customer service and captured the "essence" of Morocco! However, the meal needed to match! It was a nice experience to try something new, but at least some flavor is what I need! Afterwards, my friends took me to another Moroccan restaurant on Melrose that I absolutely love and we had a blast, including tons of flavor! Score!
