This…read morewas one of those meals that stays with you, because everything came together so beautifully. The food was wonderful from start to finish, and the atmosphere made the experience even more special. There was something about the ambiance that took me right back to France, to those moments of breaking bread with my North African friends, surrounded by warmth, conversation, and the kind of hospitality that makes a place feel familiar the moment you walk in. I felt right at home. Fatima deserves special recognition. She was so kind to me and made me feel completely welcome. Her presence was gentle, warm, and sincere, and it elevated the entire experience. It honestly felt like I was being looked after at my Moroccan auntie's house. That kind of feeling cannot be faked, and it means a great deal. As for the food, it was amazing. The pastilla with chicken and almonds, dusted with sugar and cinnamon, was absolutely delicious, with that beautiful balance of savory richness and gentle sweetness that makes the dish so memorable. The msemmen was warm, comforting, and deeply satisfying. The merguez tajine was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The Moroccan harira had that soulful, nourishing quality that makes a great soup feel like part of the heart of the meal. The zaalouk was excellent as well, rich and flavorful and a perfect addition to everything else on the table. Dar Tajine gave us more than a meal. It gave us an experience filled with warmth, flavor, generosity, and heart. The food was amazing, the hospitality was genuine, and Fatima made a lasting impression. This place deserves real praise, and I would gladly return.

The place was beautifully well designed and the music just brought the vibes. We were greeted immediately by a staff, Miriam. She was very friendly and so informative about the menu. Right when we were sat down another staff came and offered us couple of options of bottled water. The restaurant house bread which was toasted pita with an olive dip was delicious. My son and I had an espresso martini. Best we've ever had and the presentation was beautiful. Miriam gave us suggestions of what were popular and what were her favorites. We went with a couple dishes. Started with the shrimp dish that looked to be cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. It came with a side of pita/naan bread. Both came to the table very hot. The way I like my food. Btw. It was DELISH!!!! Then we had a single order of the mixed grilled. Everything on that platter was so flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of chicken breast but this one had so much flavor and still a bit moist. The filet was so tender and again flavorful. The ground meat stick was very moist and had the perfect amount of seasoning. We ate everything. Really wish we ordered the meal for two. We ended our dinner with their kaniff cheese dessert with a side of pistachios ice cream. The dessert came on a hot plate. It looked dipped in breadcrumbs and fried in butter. Then drizzled with honey and topped with lots of pistachios. It was perfect way to end our dinner. It wasn't too sweet and the pistachios ice cream tasted homemade. Both were so good. Everything Miriam suggested was a hit. My son and I had a great time. We will be back on Friday and bring the rest of our family to try the food and watch the belly dancing show.

We started with batata harra and cheese bulak. Both were great! The potatoes in the batata harra were very well seasoned and flavorful. The cheese bulak was good but might be a little off putting if your not use to mintiness in your cheese. A belly dancer came out and went around to all the tables and really engaged with everyone. For our entrees we got chicken tagine and lamb chops. I must say the lamb chops were phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I definitely recommend getting them medium. All in all if you're looking for something different definitely go check it out!

There is also a belly dancer who is INCREDIBLE. I felt that the service could have been better which is why I am giving four stars. The hostess was cold and our server disappeared towards the end of our meal and left us sitting waiting for the check for 45 minutes. There was a manager walking around who was super attentive and would quickly rush over if he noticed we were looking around for a server. - crispy sweet harissa cauliflower: DELICIOUS, such a yummy sauce - roasted mediterranean eggplant: also absolutely delicious, I expected it to be a babaghanoush but it wasn't a dip - fish tagine: super healthy portion, fish was so tender, tons of olives, really really enjoyed it. the only feedback was that this wasn't served with bread like it traditionally is in Morocco, but I asked for some and they brought it at no extra cost - baklava: yum! I also had one of their Miami Spice margs which was a classic marg and very strong. One thing to note is that they do have hookah inside here although it doesn't smell at all. Would love to return to Zuri!

Strong plant-based options on the menu (we left feeling super full) 2. Strong non-alcoholic drink options (he's doing dry January as he prepares for an 100k ultra marathon) 3. Fun entertainment and sexy atmosphere as we weren't planning to go out after in Wynwood since he wasn't drinking, (the belly dancers, hookah and Moroccan tea were perfect way to cap off the night) ZURI checked off all of those boxes. As all of the other reviews mention, the restaurant has a super beautiful, design-forward interior that reminded us of our time in Marrakech. Every plate we had was excellent, and the service across the board was wonderful. As for entertainment, the dancers and hookah really was the perfect way for us to cap it off. I could see it being a cool restaurant to go to start off the night, but also be sexy and intimate for people like us looking for something beyond the typical "restaurant and drinks" experience. Highly recommend.

In summary: Best Happy Hour EVER!…read more Not only does La Cigale offer an extensive menu of happy hour entrees for $25, the restaurant also has a full range of 2-for-1 drinks. Happy hour runs daily in the bar from 5:00 to 6:30, except on Sundays when they are closed. Best bet is to get there early because the bar seats are limited and most of the diners seemed to be eating, drinking and enjoying themselves for the entire happy hour period. In addition to the traditional seats along the bar, the bar area has one long table for "communal" seating. We were initially reluctant to sit in the middle of this table, but it was perfect as we were able to learn about and see the great food selections from the "regular" happy hour visitors. (They were thoroughly enjoying the ahi tuna entree.) First things first though. The large margarita menu was tempting but we opted for wine from the even larger wine list. La Cigale allows customers to split the 2-for-1 offer rather than require one person to have two drinks. Nice! All cocktails are included in the offer, and one person in our group enjoyed a Ketel One vodka. La Cigale describes itself as a Mediterranean restaurant with selections from France, Morocco, Greece, and Italy. Their wide-ranging happy hour menu includes several pastas, seafood, chicken and meat entrees. Although this is an upscale restaurant, the happy hour options allow first-time visitors to try the various preparations on a smaller scale at a reasonable price. At the recommendation of our communal table neighbors, we split a crock of French onion soup. It was a $6 add-on to the happy hour menu. It was thick, full of onions, covered in delicious cheese, and epitomized how French onion soup should look and taste. In summary: the Best French Onion Soup EVER! One person in our group had the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes. Another had a large Caesar salad with chicken. And two of us had the chicken parmesan with a side of linguini pasta. The chicken was amazingly moist and tender. And the sauce was delicious. At the risk of being redundant: the Best Chicken Parmesan EVER! Unfortunately we were too full to enjoy anything from La Cigale's large list of tempting desserts. Maybe next time. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The noise level at the crowded communal table was a bit loud, but it did not detract from our overall excellent experience. We now understand why the other happy hour diners are "regulars" and repeatedly enjoy visiting La Cigale. We'll be back too.

We decided to eat inside the market and as we sat at our table, we had a lovely conversation with a gentleman next to us and got his favorite recommendations.

On a bed of fluffy basmati rice was a skewer of beef, chicken and lamb. Salad and dressing also on the plate. D E L I C I O U S ! Also I have to say, (after living in Turkey when first introduced to chai), this was the BEST Chai I've ever enjoyed!

We first went into the hookah bar on one side of the market , but it was a bit too smokey for me. So we went into the market through which on the left there is a room with tables and chairs for the restaurant to dine in. We had a lovely conversation with a gentleman who was just finishing his lunch. He told us he comes here everyday. After describing his favorite meal choice, that's what we decided to order. We ordered first a medium pot of chai/tea. The owner, Assad (sp?), told us later when we asked that they add mint, dried mint, and sage to the pot. The tea was so aromatic and warming. We each had several glass cups -- with added sugar. To share, we had their mixed grill. There were 3 skewers -- one chicken, one beef, and one kofta kebab (ground meat). The meats were served over rice with a bit of salad on the side. Small containers of salad dressing and tehina were on the plate, too. I added some sumac (my favorite lemony spice) to everything. The food was very good and we left not a crumb. We were surprised to learn that the gentleman we'd previously chatted with paid for our dessert before he left! We got kunefah (kenefe/knaffe) -- my husband's favorite. It was nice and cheesy in the middle. And then as we were leaving, the owner gifted us a traditional special Ramadan "sweet" pastry. We were too full to try it there, so we brought it home for later. He said it has walnuts inside. We look forward to returning here for more middle eastern delights. It's casual, low key, cooked to order, and welcoming.

Inside the style is middle eastern art and decor. They have a large menu and lunch specials are available durning weekdays. Everything that I had tasted fresh and delicious. The complimentary pickled vegetables and pita was a nice touch. For food we decided on the Shishbarak, which is an interesting combination of meat dumplings, in a creamy yogurt sauce. The Shishbarak is a very hearty dish that has a cozy warm texture. The vegetarian sampler is mix of many of the traditional favorites. However, the standouts are definitely the grape-leaves, and the babbaganou Service was good but they only had one person that was working the register, waiting tables, and bussing food. They could definitely use extra wait staff during restaurant peak hours. Make sure you leave room for dessert! The desserts are delicious especially the baklava.
