What People Are Saying About Tagine Dining Gallery
The Owner
Tagine Dining Gallery
Owner
Like a rose that blossoms out of a sidewalk crack, Tagine Dining Gallery sweetens the theatre district with an exotic and alluring perfume. Moroccan lamps, handwoven berber textiles and cushy seating create an understated elegance. Habitues of the restaurant/lounge steep themselves in the Maghreb, sipping luscious orange blossom sangria, savoring fragrant tagines, entranced by belly dancers and hookah pipes. What a shock to step outside, following this amazing melange of sensory delights and find not camels and dunes, but rather midtown Manhattan! We offer cooking classes, wine tasting, private parties, and henna nights. We have gay nights and live DJ's in our lounge! Come see us soon!

unlike the other reviewer, we booked a birthday for 20 diners and a larger party for drinks. We were seated immediately and I had spoken with Toni and organized a prix fixe family style dinner which was a great idea. The portions were large and generous. More importantly the cuisine, every dish, was absolutely mouthwatering yummy. The drinks were generous, strong and well priced as compared to other restaurant where I have hosted parties. The dancers were great fun and made sure we were given these jingly scarves. The service was great, and it was so helpful to have Toni hosting the party and directing every last detail, she also introduced the chef to us...sooo cute! We were given complimentary ROUNDS of shots and the bday girl received a bottle of Moroccan wine. I was so happy that I made the reservation and ignored the negative reviews...will return again and again. Thank you Tagine

I have been to this place 3 times. 1st two times took a friend and had a great time, we just went for a couple drinks and hookah (which are $25 each). My 3rd time I recommended it for my friend's Bday party. And service was not attentive, we were grossly overcharged! Be very careful and read your bill carefully if going in large groups. On our receipt we had 2 Watermelon martinis for $90, after my friend complained, a new receipt was generated which showed 2Watermelon martinis $60. Their menu said Watermelon martinis were about $14. We did not want to argue our bill, but all in all it was in the $450 dollar range for about 8people. I was a little embarrassed for my friends and the huge bill, since I had recommended this place. I am now hesitant to come again. After my last dissapointing visit.

This was a very cute and atmospheric hole-in-the-wall place and overall we had a very enjoyable evening. However, the food (the tagine especially) was a great disappointment. I had the lamb tagine and my husband had the other lamb (the classic, I believe). My dish consisted of 20% meat and 80% fat, bone and gristle. The sauce it was cooked in was little more than oily water with a few boiled vegetables floating in it - not very tasty (and actually mostly inedible)- all this for $23 and I was left feeling still hungry. We also ordered the mixed mezze appetizer to start and that was also very bland. It says you can choose 3 of the cold mezze, which we did, but then in reality, they actually chose the 3 they wanted to serve us- and brought our other "2 choices" that weren?t in the mezze trio as additional plates- rather misleading. The desserts were good - but only really because they were covered in chocolate sauce, which isn?t very authentic. The 2 belly dancers came out at about 10pm, danced for about 10-15 minutes and left and that was the whole show. There were 7 of us in our group, which was a good size for this small restaurant, and the feedback was pretty consistent - cute, fun little place, but disappointing, bland and overpriced food.
