“ Such a lush dinner, can't wait to eat here again! It is BYOB, but Clapton Craft is just around the corner! ”
“ Had a lovely meal at Tagine — the food was really tasty and well-priced for the area. Nice atmosphere and everything came out hot and well-cooked. Only small downside was the mint tea, which tasted quite bitter without sugar and didn’t seem to be made with fresh mint. Still, overall a great spot and would definitely go back. ”
“ Tagine never lets us down. It's my go-to for group dinners and gatherings. The food is excellent (huge portions!) and the service is always friendly. This time, I went for my brother's birthday and they went all out with drummers and dancing - but even for a regular meal, it's wonderful. Also the BYOB element works so well for us. ”
“ Absolutely love this place, excellent customer service and food. I had the fish tagine and it was absolutely delicious, along with the lovely selection of starters and the beautiful fresh bread. Such a beautiful atmosphere and deco too. I also had a lovely pot of fresh mint tea. Highly recommend this place to visit to anyone. ”
“ We visited Tagine for a family Eid lunch and all left with bellies full and hearts happy. The service at Tagine was fantastic, and the portions were generous. Although there were 11 of us, we were comfortably seated and had a wonderful time. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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 a la carte menu next time. ”
“ This is place is incredible and we had such a good time. I had the lamb tagine with aubergine and my partner had the vegetarian tagine with goats cheese (which she said was delicious). My lamb was falling off the bone and the whole meal was superb. It’s also a BYOB place with no corkage costs. Would absolutely recommend this - service was great and decent price for amazing quality food - still thinking about it now! ”
