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 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.

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.

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

What a gem in Balham! The food is great, and very reasonably priced for the quality. The restaurant is cosy with a good atmosphere and classic Moroccan style interior. Friendly service, and with BYOB options it makes a great evening out at reasonable prices. Outdoor seating with good heaters. Can highly recommend!

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.

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 ☺️✨

Cozy place with nice atmosphere , reasonable prices and friendly staff , was pleasant meal ( I like food there is very delicious ) I recommended this place for any one who is looking for traditional Moroccan dishes.

Tagine is a fantastic gem 💎. Wonderful service, amazing food and you can bring your own bottle of wine/fizz 🍷 🍾. 2nd timer and yes there will be a 3rd, 4th....... Stop reading these reviews and just book.

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!

Went here for an Xmas work do last night and only had the table for around 2 hours. Was really cosy upstairs in the corner with a low table. It's BYOB which is great and the decor felt very authentic. Food was delicious and tasted better than the tagines I'd had in Morocco a couple of months ago. The starters were delicious and the zaalouk was wonderfully smoky. The beetroot cubes had a dash of rosewater which was lovely combination. I was slightly disappointed that the pitta bread was shop bought and thought they would have made their own khobz. My seabass tagine tasted like it had been slow cooked for hours and craving another one today. The addition of fennel paired really well with the fish. My colleagues had lamb on the bone served with a whole pear which looked like a great combination. I was a little disappointed that the sweets tasted a mass produced (not sure whether they were), but they were totally overshadowed by the mains. Tagine is definitely worth a revisit and would like to try the à la carte menu next time.

One of my favourite restaurants in Balham. The Algerian & Moroccan food is so delicious. The Owener is very nice guy and the stuff very kind. Food always on time. You can take your own drink (wine, beer, etc)

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.

The dining experience had its ups and downs. The food, while average, lacked a bit of that extra flavor for my taste. On a positive note, the prompt food service was commendable, and the drinks were delightful. However, there were hiccups like a delay in my friend's order, which was a tad disappointing. The prolonged wait for the bill (25 mins) was a drawback, and the customer service seemed a bit stretched. The atmosphere, though okay, had flickering lights and less-than-ideal restroom conditions. The cramped seating and small chairs made it less comfortable, and my coat frequently ended up on the floor. Unfortunately, the close proximity of tables left little breathing space. Overall, the experience had its drawbacks, and I might explore other options next time.

Came her for a birthday. The staff are genuinely lovely. A family friendly restaurant. Food is amazing!!!

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.

Didn’t enjoy this place at all: food was mediocre, staff were rude and badly organised. We constantly had to ask several times for water, bread, etc. The staff were bringing mains before clearing starters. We went for their set menu for 35£ which in all honesty is not worth it. Chicken tagine was bony. Restaurant atmosphere was nice though and authentic. Don’t recommend and won’t return!

Beautiful and unique restaurant! The service is brilliant and really friendly, and food was amazing. We had lamb tagine, chicken pastillas, and the grill meat and everything was really tasty, highly recommended.

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.

Very tasty food. The decor was really nice and staff very welcoming! Really nice mint tea, too!

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.
