Absolutely amazing food. Everything was very tasty, well flavoured and came to the table piping hot. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Decor was very authentic too. Loved our meal here. Reasonably priced too. Fig Creme Brûlée was delicious! Just bring your own wine as they don’t serve alcohol. Try this place - you won’t regret it.
Great restaurant in Balham . The lamb tagine was exceptional ... great ambience and the service was excellent ... best Moroccan food I have had ....we finished our drinks outside under the patio heaters as the restaurant was understandably very busy
Gorgeous dinner, flavours amazing
What a gorgeous Restaurant, with a unique, relaxing atmosphere and Amazing background music. we were group of friends Want to try everything on the menu. Food was very reasonably priced and very high quality . Everything tasted freshly cooked and sauces are homemade. We also had the Moroccan tea which was lovely; a great range for tea lovers. Just wish I lived in London to visit more often.
The owner was extremely friendly. If you want a warm welcome and great food, have a wander away from the main roads and discover this little Marrakesh.
Highly recommend.
The best Moroccan restaurant I have tried so far in London. The food is tasty, the ambiance is Exceptional, the stuff are friendly and professional( special attention to Hafid and Zizou for making my husband birthday so special with gnawa music. We will definitely come back as we felt in our second home. You are the best and you deserve 5 stars ✨

Fantastic atmosphere. Good food. Highly recommend and will definately return. A little gem.
A wonderful Moroccan restaurant with a great selection of quite delicious food (and lots of it!) Impeccable and friendly service. Bring your own booze- which makes for a wonderful evening. Can't wait to return.
Fantastic food and brilliant staff. It's a bit of a journey for me from Kent but worth it! Great for a party too.
Can't wait to come back soon

It’s an authentic morroccan restaurant. I’ve been here quite often and always happy with the food and service. Great atmosphere, takes you back to Morrocco �
I never been there but look like the best moroccan restaurant in London
Just everything is beautiful. The food, the ambience the staff...everything!
Such gorgeous food and service! Go, you won’t regret it!
This is my second trip here and ABSOLUTELY LOVE the food here, It is super authentic and very homely yet fab atmosphere for date night or night with friends/family. The customer service is consistent and faultless, which cannot be said for many establishments. Highly recommend.

Going to place called Tagine, it's a no brainer that we had to order tagines. These were some of the best tagines I've ever had. Piping hot and so full of flavour. And even though I'm not the biggest fan of cumin and fruit in my savoury dishes, I was bowled over by the flavours here. Most main dishes were 12-15 pounds each and the serving size was very generous.

Most main dishes were 12-15 pounds each and the serving size was very generous. I love the interior with the low tables and chairs, cushions and coloured lights. Even better was the fact that you get 20% off the price of your meal most days if you dine before 7pm.
I came here last year with a group of friends for a birthday celebration and we pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves as it was empty. Empty for a Sunday evening is a bit unusual however. The interior makes up a beautiful Moroccan themed restaurant with its traditional furniture. The dim lighting also makes it perfect for an intimate meal.
The menu offers a range of tagines and meat dishes. I went for the chicken skewers and rice which was tasty, however I wish the portion size could have been slightly bigger. We also ordered a range of tasty mocktails.
Since the restaurant was quite empty, the staff did their best to ensure everything was fine. The food was also prepared fairly quickly. Overall a great experience!
Very good food, nice decor. Good shisha. Good service.
Absolute gem in the middle of Balham here. Food was excellent. Recommend either the chicken or lamb shank tagine with a side of green beans and potatoes. YOU WILL BE FULL. A good full. It’s BYOB too. Winner. It was our mates birthday and they let us bring a cake. They turned the lights down and cranked the traditional music up, got the drums and whistles out, while we all got up and danced. Was unbelievable. Great service. Great location. Superb food. Get in there.

This restaurant was suggested by a friend.
We were there early evening, so not much atmosphere at that time.
Service could have been a bit better, but the food made up for it.
We had hummus for starters, lamb shank for mains, poached pear for dessert all were all delicious.
Would definitely go again but at a later time for the atmosphere.
This place has a captivating Moroccan ambiance as soon as you step inside. The food, though I'm not a Moroccan food specialist, felt genuinely authentic. However, the meat dishes were quite heavy, with a generous amount of meat that was more than our taste preferences. While the food was good, it didn't reach the level of being truly spectacular.
Absolutely incredible food, it was delicious. I had the Tangine Djaj and it was perfectly done. Highly recommended, the restaurant has a nice ambiance (and a nice restroom too).
Edit:
We went for a birthday, and the celebration was very extra and over the top! It was awesome and very thoughtful!
If you want authentic Tagine then this is the place to come!
Celebrated two occasions last night at Tagine a birthday and a Gcse results day took two cakes there and what a celebration!!! The live music twice to bring the cake in rocked the whole restaurant such a brilliant end to the dinner and celebrations.
The food outdid the food I have tasted in Marrakesh with such authentic tastes. Everything we had was bursting of flavours.
Naseer who took care of us throughout was lovely and wonderful and ensured we had a very good evening 🙏
Hats off to the owner who was very pleasant who has made everything at Tagine Authentic.
This will now become a a very regular spot for us (although we live just over 30 mins away🙈).
A few minor points :) It is a BYOB.
And do check with any Tip charges beforehand.
One way Road but parking available all around and free yellow line after 6.30pm.
Amazing food - great flavour, quality. Normally difficult to find proper authentic Moroccan food - so lucked out with this place.
We ordered 4 tagines between 6 people, plus starters, and portion size was great. Definitely ask about the specials - so good, great balance and depths of flavour.
If you have not been here to eat, why not?
It has great food, great service and is great for celebrations. BYOB but don't worry Sainsbury's is only 2mins away!
This has always been a great place to eat with the family and friends.
I really enjoyed the experience here! The food was amazing, staff were very friendly and the decor and atmosphere made it feel like you were in Morocco. Food was excellent, i had the lamb shank which was very flavourful and the meat would fall off the bone with ease. The bread was very crispy and soft which complimented the meat and tomato sauce. Highly recommend trying this place out
If there was more stars I would give them 10. The food is amazing,staff friendly and polite. The decor transforms you as if you are actually in Morocco,not in Balham.
I cannot wait to go again and try the other tasty dishes.
Came here for something light and we weren’t disappointed! Tagine have a really tasty vegetable mezze selection and I can’t wait to return to try the rest of the menu! I’d especially recommend the mint sahara fruit cocktail, it was absolutely phenomenal.

I went for dinner with some friends on a Saturday evening and overall it was an enjoyable experience.
I decided on a starter and went for the Kefta Meshwiya which were 5 small beef meatballs which were supposed to come with a dip...but there was only an aromatic sauce underneath the meat, maybe that was the dip.
The meat was nicely grilled and flavoursome, but at £7.50 I thought that for what I got it was a bit steep.
For the main I chose the Couscous Zizou and it was a very filling dish and at £22 was just about the right price.
I came with loads of couscous, a lovely melt in the mouth lamb shank that just fell off the bone, pieces of grilled chicken, a tasty beef sausage and boiled vegetables on top!
Accompanied with that came a vegetable broth with more veggies and chickpeas in it.
So, enjoyable experience but then why the 4 stars?
The broth wasn't a broth in my opinion, more a puree of veggies which although was nice lacked any real flavour...it wasn't seasoned at all!
Same for the lamb shank...was just rather bland! The dish lacked that final "oomph" to take it to the next level in my opinion.
So, if you like your north African cuisine then definitely check this place out as ovrall it shouldn't disappoint you.
The service was friendly and attentive.
Strong 4 stars, not quite 5 for me.
Best lamb I’ve ever eaten in my life. Good customer service - highly recommend lamb shoulder.
Only challenge is the table - can be a tight squeeze.
This place is incredible. I have been here ~10 times, and ordered different dishes every time. The food and vibe are amazing, and the staff are very warm and friendly. I really recommend all the tagines (the lamb ones are amazing) and the Couscous Zizou.
They don’t serve alcohol so we had to go buy some wine from Sainsbury’s nearby. It would have been nice if they’d told us when we booked so we could bring something nice from home. It doesn’t say on the website either. But no corkage fee so that was a plus!
The atmosphere is really lively - it was nice but just to note that it’s not a quiet romantic dinner sort of place. Especially because we were sitting outside by the road, i found it a bit difficult to hear my partner(who is quiet) across the table. They have heaters for sitting outside which kept me very warm.
Pictures are of the lamb shank. Very tender and nice with cous cous. We had roast pepper dip to start and was very full without any sides or dessert.
Delicious food! Incredible value! Fantastic service!
What a little gem in Balham, it has a gorgeous interior and lovely warm atmosphere. It was my first time visiting with family but after today, it has become one of our favourites and we will be back for sure.
They have everything on point in this restaurant… the decor, the ambiance (lighting, music ect), the food. Everything was perfect. So happy we found this restaurant, loved it all. Bring your own bottle if you want booze which is great as you can save a ton. Went with two others they too loved the place and food. Honestly can’t fault it in anyway. Looking forward in going back! Thanks guys ☺️✨

Having driven past this place a number of times, and with a limited amount of Moroccan cuisine places in the area, I decided I'd take a visit for my birthday treat and was absolutely delighted with the food, service and ambience.
Upon entry I was greeted by a warm welcome by a young man and given how hungry I was, I quickly decided on:
Starters: Merguez (spicy sausage), Homous (good old classic)
They both came out quite promptly and were delicious.
For the mains, we went for:
Lamb Tagine for two which consisted of 2 x Lamb shanks, with cous cous delivered in a clay pot.
It took around 20 mins to arrive, but was worth the wait.
Well cooked, with the lamb tender and well seasoned with a meaty sauce and saffron hint to it. I've got a big appetite and finished probs 3/4 of it with my other half the other 1/4. May want to order seperate dishes if you appetite isn't that big however.
The whole place had a family feel and everyone serving us was smiling and genuinely interested in our experience.
Will definitely go again and for lovers of North African cuisine in the area, would definitely recommend.
How amazing!
I went to Tagine with my boyfriend on a Saturday night. We didn't have a reservation and all the tables were occupied, so we have been offered a table at the floor downstairs - where they normally organise private parties; I loved the atmosphere, the decors and every single detail of this place!
The food was just.... Excellent. I had a vegetarian cous cous while my boyfriend had a mixed grill and we both were absolutely amazed by the taste. We also shared some mezze - delicious.
Nevertheless.... Amazing service. Not sure about the name of the lady who served us, but she was super nice and explained us different types of moroccan dishes, making some suggestions for our next visit.
We'll definitely be back!
