tajine cave — Restaurant in Birmingham

Stopped by there at the evening for dinner. I think it was just before closing time so nobody was there once I get there. The place well decorated and bring a good ambience and feeling of authenticity as they said " We brought many pieces from Morocco and many more hand-crafted here to complete the design from the ceilings and lighting to our walls and seating." Well Decorated with all the things, staff are very friendly and helpful. Not had any idea about the Morrocan dishes and they pointed out that "Our menu has been carefully curated to ensure there’s a mix of classic dishes and also some little know traditional gems too, from our Bastillas’ and Tajines to our Abda coffee and Zaazaa." Just wanted to try their one of Tajines as I didn't have any idea about that, got help from the staff to choose something favourite in that place. Service was nice and quick, the food is okay, it's not something mouthwatering maybe I might choose other dishes next time. Also like to taste their coffee which I had not time for that at that time....

Welcoming and authentic Moroccan food in true Amazigh fashion, with segregated spaces for families, friends, and couples alike to enjoy with a semblance of privacy.

Most importantly, it's such value-for-money and hearty food that you could almost feel like you're in a Kasbah in High Atlas, helped by the traditional design and the ambience. I was shocked it was so quiet, but it was a Tuesday evening, and this place is a little tucked away - part of what it made it so good!

I suspect it must get really busy with those familiar to this place on Fridays, which is couscous day in Morocco, so you best believe you might be waiting a while if you go then. Nonetheless, if you know Berber hospitality, then you know that the people will take every measure to accommodate you.

Gutted I didn't take any pictures, that's how good the food was!

Compliments to the chef and the servers. Will...

Went on Friday night with high expectations. The reviews were positive and encouraging. What a disappointment. There were only two other diners and the place was absolutely freezing. There was a wall mounted fan heater. We should have left immediately but gave them the benefit of the doubt. We had harrira soup to start with, possibly the lumpiest taste-free soup I've ever had. The bread was fresh. The lamb seesh tated as if it had been reheated from frozen. Main course was a lamb tagine, The signature dish should have been good, but this had three small pieces of lamb in tasteless gravy sprinkled with thawed beans. Only one member of staff on duty. Said the management had changed and heating was being fixed. The only good thing I can say is that my dinner partner was great company. If you want an authentic Tagine....
