Review of Tagine

06 Aug 07, 23:59

Rocking the kasbah 4*

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.

Likes sushi, rare roast beef with Yorkshire puddings, stinky cheeses, bangers and mash, and any really sour sweets like Haribo Tangfastics, vodka cocktails, Chilean Merlot, and tea with the tea bag left in it so it's properly strong, Man Utd, ink pens, shoes, particularly if they are ridiculously high heeled and brightly coloured
Dislikes stupidity, blind faith, an inability to argue coherently, bananas, hangovers, smugness
Best thing about where I live Almost all my friends live really close by and it's only 20 minutes to central London.
Worst thing about where I live The marauding foxes and squirrels that make all my gardening efforts worthless.
