One of the best Moroccan restaurant in NJ…read more 1) I very much enjoyed the Fez Tajine (lamb + potato) and the Marrakesh Tajine (lamb + artichokes). We also got the Casablanca Tajine (lamb + prunes), which is their most popular Tajine, but my Indian taste buds did not enjoy the sweetness of the dish. 2) Got the bastilla pie, it was unique, but sweet for my taste. 3) Must get us the Moroccan mint tea. Amazing!

They usually close at 7 pm, but we got there around 7:10 and the guy was so friendly and still took our orders. I tried the Saffron Chicken sandwhich. It came in a pita pocket, which is nice as it contains everything. The filling was a mix of charred chicken, potato, and carrot. It was saucy and warm. There was great flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I liked the combination with vegetables as it balanced it out. I would definitely come back! For around $12, this is a great option.

Definitely a good date-night spot or somewhere to take out-of-towners when you want to impress. They have a balanced menu of large and small dishes. I ordered the halloumi and cauliflower, and while it was tasty, I was a little disappointed by the portion for $22 It was mostly cauliflower with barely any halloumi, so I didn't think the price quite matched what was served. I also offer a side of pita, not realizing most of the small plates come with pita. Since I was still hungry after the cauliflower, I also ordered the gambas al ajillo, which were delicious. I didn't try the larger dishes this time but the person I was dining with ordered the steak kebab and really enjoyed it. I also love that they have an all-night breakfast section on the menu. There's truly no wrong time for shakshuka. Next time, I'd love to try one of their sandwiches or pitas. Service was also great in a very understated way. They're attentive and present without hovering, which I really appreciated in a space that feels designed for conversation and privacy. Overall, a really cool atmosphere with an interesting menu and plenty I'd like to come back and try.

Besides Milos, I never expected Hudson Yards to have such a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant!…read more The Dip Tower was definitely the MVP. Every single dip was so delicious I wanted to take some home. The layers of flavor were amazing, and it was impossible to stop eating it with the freshly baked pita! The Yellowtail was rather ordinary. Although it contained a lot of spices, the fishy taste was still noticeable, so I wouldn't recommend it. The other dishes--North African eggs, steak, and Brussels sprouts--were just okay. The biggest surprise was the dessert--Lemon Frozen Yogurt! It was so delicious I wanted another serving!! The acidity was just right, refreshing without being too sweet. A bite after the meal was incredibly soothing. I must say, Mediterranean people really know how to make yogurt; they can make even a simple frozen yogurt look amazing.

We had a reservation for 5 initially so we're seated at a large round table near the bar. The staff gave me a nice card congratulating me on my engagement as well. It was quite cold inside all of our meal but that didn't stop us from getting cocktails. We ordered an espresso martini, a spritz and a Field Trip I believe. All good but the espresso martini was a little lackluster. We mainly shared food starting with 3 Dressed Big Rock Oysters. While the presentation was beautiful, they were a little too dressed for me. The Zou Zou's Dip Tower, however, was fabulous. Every dip was unique and delicious and had us consistently rotating between all of them. The bread that came with it was so fresh and warm and the crudo was good to use as dip vessels as well. Finally, we ended by sharing The Zou Burger and Roasted Brussels Sprouts. While it was good, the waiter forgot to remove the sumac onions like we had asked. We also had to wait long periods between being helped and the waiter didn't seem to really be that familiar with the menu when we asked questions about what we ordered. A stunning place with really good food, but for the caliber of restaurant, we shouldn't have to ask the bartender for refills or our check.

I went back for a weekday lunch recently and the food and atmosphere both hold up fabulously, so it makes sense why they've remained a brunch mainstay at both their East Village and Williamsburg locations. I enjoy that they serve their hot moroccan tea in a glass as is traditional, so you can see all the fresh mint leaves in your cup. I had tea like this multiple times a day during my trip to Morocco a few years back so sipping on this here took me back in time. I ordered a short stack of their blueberry pancakes which were very fluffy and delicious. They're not the kind of pancake with crispy edges, which are my preferred kind of pancake but I still found them satisfying. The moroccan eggs, which are two poached eggs in spicy stewed tomatoes and served with zahar pita is a delight. The pita is very fluffy and the zahatar adds such a nice fragrant spice to the bread. They used to serve this with potatoes but now those come at an additional charge but are well worth getting. The Williamsburg location also has pretty good wifi and they let me work on my laptop through my brief stay there. Kitchen was speedy too.

And I called in advance to see if they catered for people with dietary restrictions which they mentioned they did. I think it's a fine place to go if you eat meat but I wouldn't go if you don't! The options for vegetarians were a lentil rice dish and a chickpea rice dish so it was very carb heavy with not too much of a focus on protein. I liked the eggplant that had in the beginning but other than the food was meh. The service was nice and the short bellydancing performance was fun but I wasn't the biggest fan of the food. Especially when they give you served us a fruit plate containing unopened apples and oranges and bananas at the end that was kind of strange. Personally wouldn't return but my friends who had the meat seemed to enjoy it!
