Me and my sister visited here starving! It seems we were the first customers of the day and the service was friendly. We ordered hummus, gyro, beef tagine, and tiramisu. I loved the hummus and it came with a great portion to share. The tagine also tasted lovely-- savory and sweet-- but 1/4 of it was fat. The leaner pieces were tender and I loved the apricots! Perfect with the bread. As for the tiramisu it had me feeling weird since it was obviously currently defrosting as we ate it... apologies for the photo of it haha but we found it quite difficult to eat since it was frozen. The beef tagine was delicious but be wary of the desserts :3 read more

Another great hidden gem off 192 in Kissimmee! So glad Yelp helped us find this spot. I love how they went the extra mile to decorate here. It felt cozy and I really liked the overall atmosphere. I wish they had a few seats set up at the bar for a quick appetizer or tea, but there was plenty of other seating in the large booths. The service was a huge highlight here. Sure, the restaurant wasn't very crowded when we went, but I've been in similar situations where the staff wasn't as attentive so it was still very much appreciated. We didn't wait long between appetizer and the main meal but also did not feel rushed at all. The food, and the entire dining experience, was very authentic. They had a beautiful tea set for our mint tea. The tagine came in traditional clay bowls. Everything we ordered was delicious. The hummus was as tasty as it looks, I loved the olive oil and olives it came with, everything tasted so fresh. The tagines we ordered exceeded expectations! The flavors incorporated into my lemon chicken dish were incredible and the meat fell off the bone like butter! The kefta egg tagine was super filling and tasty as well. I don't know which one to recommend more! Thank you to the staff and kitchen for making our experience so lovely. We will be back! read more

This was our 2nd time visiting this location, our first visit was 6 years ago. Long before I became a Yelper. I remember it being great then which is why we came back. The ambiance is great. The service was okay. Our host/ server was very busy and it seemed short staffed. He was friendly but doing too many tasks. I ordered a pineapple juice and he forgot it completely until my husband reminded him when he brought out the main dish. The food was okay. For the appetizer we each had the seafood Bastille, although flavorful it was a little dry. For the main I had the chicken Gyro sandwich, my husband had the lamb Gyro sandwich, it came with french fries. It was not what I was expecting. For one, it was not in a pita as it says on the menu, it was in a tortilla. No tahini sauce as it says on the menu. The flavor was just okay. Maybe we will try them again and select a different dish next time. read more

If you want a more thorough review of this place, read Daniel Rs review. It is spot on. This is the quick and dirty... Cons: HUGE CON no alcohol (insert sad face emoji) I'm in Orlando which is NOT the most magical place on earth. It's full of little kids and over crowded everything! I need a drink or two.... The seafood bastilla was absolutely frozen in the middle! Like queen Elsa frozen!! We sent it back and they took it off the bill. The water they brought out for the table in a large bottle was half frozen as well The hummus and baba ghanoush had an oily consistency The entrees were very dry. They lacked sauce Service was slow for a weekday night at 9pm Pros: Service, despite being slow, the server was friendly The place itself and bathrooms are clean Outdoor seating is available Lamb skewers weren't bad but again, needed a sauce The place is quiet and would've been a nice place to end the night if I had a drink in hand and the food was better read more

I've always loved Middle Eastern food in general. There seem to be some differences between different countries, but there's a vast amount of similarities. I have never had Moroccan food, but they have these dishes cooked in clay pots that are unique and outstanding. The lamb was good. The salad was fresh and refreshing. read more

Omg, tried my first tagine after watching loads of YouTube travel videos and I'm in love! We had the lamb shank tagine with artichoke bottoms and peas and it was so good we ordered two to take home. The kabob was meh - do the tagine which is delivered in a traditional tagine YAY! Decor is authentic, they play Moroccan music and serve wonderful mint tea with authentic tea sets. Next time we are in Orlando we are coming back here! Extra details: They were accommodating about gluten free issues and because they cook in tagines I was able to avoid aluminum toxicity which is an issue with the majority of restaurants. Usually I can only eat salad or grilled items so the tagine was a huge plastic :)) Restrooms are clean and updated. read more

In town for Disney World parks, I happened to come across this listing when doing a restaurant search on Yelp. I love Morocco, Moroccan food, culture, etc., and there's DEFINITELY a lacking of Moroccan restaurants back home in Columbus, OH, so I made a point to check this place out. I originally stopped for lunch, but many of their traditional dishes were not ready yet, so I decided to come back for dinner (and get the full experience). Amine, front of the house hostess (maybe owner, too?), was welcoming with a smile. Dia was a fabulous waitress. She took time to explain the menu to me, gave suggestions, great friendly personality. I was super bummed they were out of their Chicken Bastilla appetizer, a thin pastry dough baked with chicken and almonds with a lite dusting of cinnamon and powder sugar on top for esthetics, but they were out, since they bake them fresh each day. Instead I went with the Seafood Bastilla - grouper and shrimp mixed with mushrooms. Not much in the way of distinctive flavors. I would pass on this, but still want to try their Chicken one, should I return! I ordered a small pot of their Moroccan mint tea served on a small silver tray with a lovely blue-rimmed Moroccan glass. The fresh mint smelled wonderful. While waiting, Dia brought out of the blue there appetizer sampler for me to try: Marinated Kalamata olives, homemade hummus, and Zaaluk, which incorporates mashed tomatoes, eggplant and spices; pillow-soft. The hummus was very good, just the way I like it - not lemony (I don't like the tart of lemon mixed with mashed chickpeas). The Zaaluk was also good; great roasted eggplant flavor and pillow soft. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the lamb SHANK with my tagine dish (sold out). When asked if I still wanted the dish, but with a different part of the lamb's leg, Dia assured me it would be just as tender and juicy; I really wanted to try a true tagine, so I went with the substitution and happy I did. The lamb was incredibly tender and absolutely insanely flavorful. The hint of sweetness from the prunes and apricots was divine. I wish there was a heaping helping of their caramelized onions they were so dang melt in your mouth wonderful. This was definitely in the top runnings for the best experience I've had eating true Moroccan food - my first experience with light tagine cooking, too. I would gladly give Ataj 10 stars! read more

Four of us sampled many of their signature dishes. They were all very good. Two soups Moroccan and lentil were very tasty. The eggplant zaaluck was very nice, as was the merquez or sausages. For mains we had stewed lamb shank and half chicken chicken in a terrine. They were all very good. Finally seafood bastilla which is a pastry stuffed with fish. The mint tea was good to finish. Mostly highly recommended. read more

The food was delicious, it was my first time going to a Moroccan restaurant and I loved the flavors. The restaurant is in a plaza, our first impression was that it looked clean but in need of some TLC. There were only 2 tables, but we decided to try and it was worth it. The service was a bit slow but she was friendly. Regardless I would come back. read more

Unfortunately had a negative experience here. Not usually one to write a bad review, but when a restaurant is not upfront with their customers it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I'll first start off with saying that the food and ambiance was fine, though the portions were extremely small. The main issue was that when we paid the bill the staff member did not notify us there was a 18% service charge added already. When we added our tip and the transaction went through it wasn't adding up, so I asked the waiter for clarification and he was very unwilling to help. He stated that all restaurants around the area did the same thing and they don't tend to notify the customers beforehand. He then proceeded to say there was nothing he could do and that we would have to come back tomorrow and speak to the manager if we wanted to rerun the transaction correctly. BEWARE any tip you add is on top of the 18% service charge they don't tell you about. read more

Meh. Tajine was not served in Tajine even though they show tajines on their web site. That means it wasn't cooked using traditional methods because there would be no reason to transfer the dish out of the tajine to serve it differently. The Chicken Tajine was excessively salty. The Lamb couscous was dry and tasted like the lamb wasn't cooked that day. It was likely reheated in a way that dried it out. Overall the flavors were underwhelmingly bland for a Moroccan restaurant. Where's the spice? The service was friendly and the tea was good. read more

What a great surprise to find ATAJ MOROCCAN RESTAURANT near the hotel where we were staying.

If you're in the area you must try this place! The food was absolutely excellent. We tried the appetizer sampler, falafel, chicken and couscous, lamb, and falafel sandwich. The food was so fresh and flavorful. Literally the best couscous and falafel we've had in awhile. Service was excellent. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Also very helpful. The overall ambiance was excellent. We really enjoyed the decor and vibe. read more

I have been lucky enough to have been able to have traveled the world a few times, have worked in the food industry, and, thankfully, know how to cook. I know what food is and is not supposed to be. This place has it all backwards. This restaurant, if you can even call it that's food was a complete and utter disappointment. I don't normally leave yelp reviews. Sorry. I am also normally not quite this mad. The service was just okay. What on Earth happened to the divine Indian food restaurant that was here before? It's like night and day. There was no alcohol, to speak of, at all. When you advertise "fresh apple juice" on the menu, I expect fresh squeezed. Not Mott's from a bottle, with ice. For heaven's sake. You don't serve ice with apple juice. You serve it already cold. Even Denny's knows that. I would've take odwalla, Evolution Fresh, ANYTHING so that what they are selling matches what I am getting. The damned things was $6! The "bread" that they served us seemed to be just warmed up store bought bread. It was too perfect to have been made fresh, from the restaurant. The food was absolutely flavorless. The lamb in the tajine was absolutely rubbery and chewy. The seafood tajine was quite a bit worse. **YOU DON'T SERVE MUSSELS THAT ARE PARTIALLY CLOSED! IT'S A MAJOR HEALTH HAZARD!** You also can't get the things open! They have a flaky, pastry dough thing, with seafood inside. This wasn't really crab. IT WAS IMITATION! The falafel didn't taste anywhere near fresh and the sauce that they served it with was totally pasty. The food also came out WAY, WAY too fast. Pre-prepared, to be cheap? Yes! It's a sad, sad thing when the Perrier that I ordered was the best thing on the table. The flat water that they served was Zephyrhills. Are you kidding me? Where's the Evian? Where's the Aqua Panna? ***HERE IS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO!** #1 - Get yourselves a seat at Spice Road Table in Epcot. Learn what real (at least amazing tasting) Moroccan food is supposed to be. Pay attention to the world class service. Replicate what it is that they do. #2 - Take yourselves into The Tangerine Café, right there. It's exhibition cooking. WATCH AND LEARN! #3 - For heaven's sake, order yourselves up a number of cookbooks from the classic masters - Le Cordon Bleu, AND LEARN WHAT CLASSIC, FRENCH CUISINE IS ALL ABOUT! #4 - SERVE EVERYTHING FRESH! NO FROZEN, PRE-MADE, STORE BOUGHT, ETC.... #5 - Retool your menu and get some alcohol on there. I don't care if it's Charles Shaw and canned, craft cocktails. At least it's something decent. Heck... 3 Daughters makes some amazing brews. Restaurant owners... This cheap route isn't serving you at all. Watch some Gordon Ramsey. Please get a clue. I don't want any money back. I would even pay for another meal, if it's any good. But, this... This wasn't happening. I went home, popped some Trader Joe's Indian food (yes, I know, it isn't Moroccan, but, the flavor profiles are similar) in the microwave and air fryer, and had a FAR, FAR better meal, in 5 minutes, for like $7, and was pissed that the restaurant couldn't feed me properly. read more

I've been here a few times for their Tagine because it is absolute perfection. I liked the Lamb Shank Tagine better than the others. The Liver with rice is the best liver I've ever had. I also had Harira, definitely worth trying. The one thing I ordered and did not like was the Hargma and I didn't think the appetizers were good enough to order again. It's a really nice place to dine in, highly recommend! read more

Had a great meal at Ataj and will definitely be back soon. The service was phenomenal. Could each eat here all the time.

Lamb and hummus good. Tiramisu was frozen in middle. Place empty but slow service. Appetizers and dinner plates not removed before dessert. Waitress not understanding English. May try Arabic. Music little loud. Table wobbly read more

Nice decor but food does not measure up! Got lamb shank tajin and chicken couscous and appetizer sample platter. Lamb shank tajin was good and couscous platter was so so. So we ordered second lamb shank tajin and then things got interesting ! This lamb shank tajin looked completely different from the first one! Spices are blend , smells very different smelled funny. So we asked , what is happening ? Now they are saying two dishes were cooked by two different people! Then they took it and brought another one back. It was not quite right either . Also couscous smelled funny and chicken seemed couple days stale. If they did not charge this hefty price , I would give it 3 stars . But the food was not measured up. Positive thing is the service was good . read more

What a nice Spot! Moroccan food is one of my favorite cuisines, and the food here was very authentic. I ate an entire Chicken Tajine to myself, and I never eat that much.

Will definitely be back soon. read more

Fantastic. I am in town for a work trip and wanted something I couldn't find in Alaska (crab, steak, etc.) and Ataj delivered.

had the most delightful experience at the Moroccan restaurant. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance transported me to Morocco itself. The decor was authentic and charming, setting the perfect mood for the evening. The food was an absolute highlight. The flavors and spices used in Moroccan cuisine truly came to life in each dish. I highly recommend trying their tagine - it was a burst of deliciousness! The couscous was fluffy and paired perfectly with the tender, well-seasoned meats. The service was exceptional too. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations. They truly made us feel welcome and ensured we had a memorable dining experience. Overall, the Moroccan restaurant exceeded my expectations. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to savor authentic Moroccan flavors in a warm and inviting atmosphere. read more

Awesome dining experience! We were seated immediately and received friendly, efficient service. The food came out hot and fresh. Falafel came out moist and savory. Mint tea served with style.

My husband and I walked in from the resort next door at 2p on a Friday. We were quickly seated as we were the only folks in the restaurant. We were handed menus and then absolutely no service, water or communication with the two servers talking behind the bar. For over 5 minutes, we sat. Then we left. It wasn't packed. Why were we given no water or service? Just FYI, it doesn't appear that they have alcohol at this restaurant. read more

Amazing dinner with family! No waiting and the food/flavors were delicious! Can't wait to return to try other dishes

Excellent lentil soup but--so oversalted it was barely edible. Too bad, looked promising.
