Review of Tagine
06 Aug 07, 23:59
Rocking the kasbah 
If someone spirited you to this place with your eyes shut, you could easily be fooled into thinking you were in Marrakech (but for the lack of a 4 hour flight, and the presence of The Bedford opposite).
Low slung tables and seating, Moroccan chandeliers and a beautifully tiled bathroom all conspire to convince you that you're just round the corner from Djemma El Fnaa.
As you might expect, the menu offers predominantly tagines and cous cous, but make room for some of the delicious mezze style starters with flatbread to start with.
The food is delicious, the service is friendly, the lighting is, like the seats, low, and the ambience seductive. Plus, with a BYO booze policy, the bill isn't too unpleasant either.
Bag the big table at the back on the right, lounge in sybaritic fashion on the sofas, and wistfully think back to the old days when you were allowed to smoke shisha there. Damn that smoking ban, you'll have to drink mint tea instead.
