Tagine Restaurant

Zizou Tagine is truly an exceptional restaurant — the food is divine, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the setting is absolutely beautiful. Every dish is bursting with flavour and presented with such care, and the live band added so much joy and energy to the experience.

We recently celebrated our Nikkah here and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Ratiba, the amazing manager, went above and beyond to make everything seamless and special, and the whole team made us feel so looked after. With dancing, music, and the most delicious food, it was a celebration we’ll never forget.

Absolutely love this place, excellent customer service and food. I had the fish tagine and it was absolutely delicious, along with the lovely selection of starters and the beautiful fresh bread. Such a beautiful atmosphere and deco too. I also had a lovely pot of fresh mint tea. Highly recommend this place to visit to anyone.

I’m upset to write such a review but I visited Tagine for the first time (after wanting to go for so long!) last night. We invited some friends over to join and was shocked by the service or lack of!

From the start they didn’t seem in a rush to take our order and at this point the restaurant wasn’t even full. After numerous attempts to get the waitress/waiters attention we were finally able to order our starters.

Starters arrived - great food! We went for a selection to share between the 4 of us. Unfortunately the service yet again was poor as they didn’t remove our starters (despite being finished with them for some time) until they came to the table with the main course. It would have been nice to be asked how the starters are as we tried various attempts to get their attention to order some more bread. Until we eventually gave up…

Mains arrived and again they were delicious. No one checked in to see if the food was good or if we needed anything else. This is when I was completely fed up of the service and decided to walk over to the pass and ask for the dessert menu in a bid to get them to clear our empty plates. In this time I was able to go to the loo and back and sit there for a further 10 minutes before they attempted to remove our plates.

We ordered some mint tea to wrap things up and even that took an unimaginable amount of time for some hot water and mint!

Anyway, it’s such a shame and based on our experience I will unfortunately say that I’ll never return. For me service is what makes a restaurant and in this occasion it just wasn’t acceptable. I can imagine if you were a big table of maybe 10 they would show you the attention you deserve but anything less and you run the risk of not being seen to without considerable effort on your side.

This is place is incredible and we had such a good time. I had the lamb tagine with aubergine and my partner had the vegetarian tagine with goats cheese (which she said was delicious). My lamb was falling off the bone and the whole meal was superb. It’s also a BYOB place with no corkage costs. Would absolutely recommend this - service was great and decent price for amazing quality food - still thinking about it now!

I really enjoyed the experience here! The food was amazing, staff were very friendly and the decor and atmosphere made it feel like you were in Morocco. Food was excellent, i had the lamb shank which was very flavourful and the meat would fall off the bone with ease. The bread was very crispy and soft which complimented the meat and tomato sauce. Highly recommend trying this place out
