Delicious food, beautiful ambience with a room in the back for a private party, and great service. We had the spreads: piquillo and almond, dill lebni and smoked trout roe, white bean and black olives and two flatbreads, Branzino, cornbread with harissa butter, and Basteeya with chicken confit. Everything was delicious, but pricey. Michelin-starred restaurant and chef. Place was packed. Street parking. read more

Celebrated my birthday here recently. Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend. Knocked off a star because it took a long time for our server to get our drink order and then a long time again to get our food order. read more

Food was impeccable, service above and beyond expectations, and in a beautifully designed restaurant. It's not often that we have fine dining like this, in the sleepy part of the outer Richmond district. The Cauliflower appetizer could have been a main dish in itself, the flavors were on point. The cornbread is cooked in a skillet, that comes with its own honey butter spread. We will be back, highly recommended. read more

We came as a group of six to celebrate a family event, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The noise level was unbearable - we had to shout the entire time just to hear each other. The acoustics are so poor that normal conversation is nearly impossible. I'm honestly surprised there isn't a city code regulating the level of noise allowed in restaurants, because the volume here could easily damage the hearing of both employees and guests. For a place that clearly makes a lot of money, you would expect them to invest in basic acoustic improvements, such as a proper sound-absorbing ceiling. The food was inconsistent as some people in our group liked it, while others thought it was overly salted. Overall, the environment made the evening unpleasant, and I wouldn't return. read more

A michelin star wonder in the Richmond area as my first taste for Moroccan cuisine. Interior was chic and brightly lit dinner area with high table tops. Server was attentive with water and drinks. Hero of the dish was the different spices. We tried the red and green charbouleh. Red (parprika) completed with the charred prawns. The green (herbs)charbouleh completed the asparagus. Trio of spreads is a must get. Each spread has it's own different flavor from spicy to rich to creamy . Finally, the 24 hour slow cooked braised lamb with farro was worth the wait. Lamb meat just melt off the bone. Farro is now my new favorite couscous. I love the nutty texture. Don't forget to order the cornbread early as it takes time to bake. Dishes: PIQUILLO & ALMOND | DILL LEBNI & SMOKED TROUT ROE | WHITE BEAN & BLACK OLIVE CORN BREAD | HARISSA BUTTER ASPARAGUS | GREEN CHARMOULA | PINENUTS | MARROCANAISE | CURED EGG YOLKS CHARRED PRAWNS | RED CHARMOULA | HARISSA EMULSION | BLACK GARLIC | CONFIT GARLIC BRAISED LAMB SHANK | FARRO | CELERY ROOT | PARSNIPS | MOYER PRUNE | HERB SALAD read more

Booked sunday brunch for Mother's Day. Spent 40 minutes looking for parking. No luck. We thought maybe they have valet parking - nope. My wife went in asking if they have parking suggestions and they said to keep looking as the best option. They gladly canceled our reservation as there was no way we were going to be able to find any parking nearby. Lesson learnt. I apologized to my wife for a bad start to her Mother's day. read more

Its hard to find a restaurant you would like to go back these days. Aziza is one of those rare places. Easy parking, nice vibe, beautiful dinnerware, elevated presentation and great food! Highly recommend crushing the spreads (labne with roe), flatbread and vegetable appetizers (eggplants). We also got the shashuka and pastille (they spell it differently) but lets just say they are not as good as what we got in Morocco. Will have to try the cornbread next time! read more

This place was incredible! It was recommended by Aziz, who I met at my hotel. My friends and I had asked him if he knew of a good Moroccan restaurant, and he highly recommended in Aziza. This place was packed when we arrived! Large parties stuck around for a long time at their tables. Lots of large groups having a good time and enjoying the food. I had not eaten so much in a long time; my belly was so full by the end of my night here, and I was still thinking about it the next day. It was worth it and memorable. The entree servings are family style (large servings) , so be careful on how you order, or you will end up overspending, like we did. Some of the highlights include the tea, which was very fresh tasting and smooth. The appetizer with the various dips for the pita bread were great. They were so much better than other similar dips I have had elsewhere. The Basteeya was excellent! It has ground beef mixed with cinnamon and other spices that give it a nice savory/sweet flavor, and the pastry it is enveloped in was so warm and perfect! I am definitely coming back here, just for this. We ordered many more items that I cannot remember right now, but there wasn't anything I didn't like. It was absolutely delicious. The only negative, is that the staff seemed too busy, and I often had to wave over a waiter to make a request. The wait in general was long, but the food and ambiance were outstanding. read more

French toast tasted sour and definitely off. The shakshuka was decent but honestly tasted more like chickpea curry than traditional shakshuka. Burrata was the highlight -- really good. Toasts were extra crispy, almost too crispy. Coffee was average at best. Overall, not a place I'd go back to. read more

I've been wanting to go here for a long time, and it lived up to the expectations and hype. Overall, the food was delicious. We started with the spreads and flatbread. All delicious. We then had the cauliflower and eggplant appetizers. Both were also delicious. We then shared the roast chicken family-style entree and the corbread, which came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. The restaurant and bar area were simple, yet elegant. The service was also top-notch. read more

Ten years later, an update... A heavy hand in the kitchen with the salt. The lovely glass carafe on the table was refilled 3-4 times before our entrees arrived with practiced quickness. The cous cous was well constructed and the trio of dips was well spiced. The circle flatbread was tender and beautiful. We dined at Aziza at this location once before and enjoyed the cornbread. This night everything was just so salty. The elegance and nuance of the Aziza of old seems to have shifted into more of a hustle bustle atmosphere. Our server was attentive and tried to gently steer us away from the cabbage. I'd like to for nostalgia's sake but am not yet sure if I'd return. read more

Really great service!! Food was pretty good, although decadent. Overall, a delicious meal with eclectic food. The best thing was the spread and cornbread! Couscous was also very delicious. read more

Was able to walk in without a reservation on a Wednesday night for a party of 3. FOH had dimmed intimate lighting with a laid back brighter dining room in the back past the bar. Interesting interior design and interesting playlist throughout the night. -Trio of Spread was delicious, interesting flavors went well with the warm flat bread. -Mussels were our all time favorite, we actually ordered extra bread to dip in the vadouvan butter. -Whole Branzino was cool, meaty and the all the garnish made this dish flavorful. -Corn Bread was really good, especially with the harissa butter -Basteeya was my least favorite, but my friends liked the texture and flakiness of the breading Service was good but it did slow down as the night got busier. Overall, had a wonderful dinner experience. Would like to come back and try the lamb shank next time as well as get the mussels again. read more

Aziza was one of the very first restaurants that became a destination spot for people all over the Bay Area to make a trip to the Richmond District to find out what the buzz was about. Chef Mourad is an absolutely exceptional chef, well recognized by Michelin. His middle eastern cuisine is mouthwatering and presentation memorable. A rare fine you will come back to often. read more

Just a great way to wrapup 2023! We had been to Aziza many years ago and were excited to return as we had good memories of food. And it did not disappoint. We started off with the trio of spreads, of which, the piquillo and white bean were my favorites with the warm fluffy bread. The kefta was just excellently grilled and delicately flavored meat that melts in your mouth. Members of my party raved about the Branzino and were fighting over the last pieces. The basteeya was the dish I had good memories of from the past and it delivered. The drinks were good, in particular the polar bear. The service was on par and the restaurant has a nice cozy vibe. There's street parking around the restaurant which makes it easy to hop in and out. read more

We went on Sunday and only the breakfast menu was available. The food was very good, but it took quite a long time to arrive. When we asked for some bread for the kids because they were getting very hungry, we were given one piece of bread. It was delicious, but we were surprised to see that we were charged for it without being told the cost. read more

Was super hyped to come here. I will admit I did see this on an IG reel, they got me. The cocktail was a very spirit forward whiskey based cocktail, if you're into old fashioned-s I'd say this is a good one to go with on their menu (you can also order classic cocktails if you want even tho it's not on their cocktail menu). The trio of spreads is delicious, my favorite was the one with yogurt and salmon roe, but they're all super yummy (flatbread is on point too) THE MUSSELS, so close to being the highlight of the meal but it's up there. Just so good with the oil, the garlic, the butter, the bread. Magnificent, truly. Now the star of the meal was in fact the Kefta, I expected the spices but there was a sweetness to them that was just a delight. It was a recommendation from our server and she was so right. Add a bit of cucumber and yogurt and you will be in heaven. I know the mains we ordered are quite popular, we didn't get to try the lamb, but the basteeya and branzino were tasty. At this point I was so full I feel like I couldn't quite enjoy them as much as I would've liked, but they were very flavorful. I'd give the edge to the basteeya, personally. There is a mezcal hot chocolate for dessert, wasn't something worth taking a photo but the drink is pretty strong (you have been forewarned). The interior is stylish and the staff was very kind. Thank you for an enjoyable experience. read more

This was our third time having brunch at Aziza. It was a mixed experience (mostly positive) for us this time, both impressive and a bit disappointing in certain ways. We secured our reservation effortlessly through OpenTable, which was a nice start. The ambiance was lively, though the volume made it a bit challenging to keep up with conversation at times. Our server was attentive throughout, even stepping in to pour water for me when she noticed I was struggling. This kind of service and attention I always appreciate. The food itself was visually beautiful and delicious, showcasing thoughtful presentations and bold flavors. We started with the Beghrir Pancakes, a standout with citrus honey and a hint of bee pollen. This was actually my mother's favorite dish. The custard French toast topped with huckleberries and coriander mascarpone was another highlight, rich yet balanced with that maple syrup. I also ordered the scrambled eggs with za'atar and avocado rye toast, which was thankfully one of my personal favorites. This was not what I actually wanted to order... more on that below. Also we ordered the Grilled Prawns which were flavorful, a bit too much so however. More on this below as well. Despite all the good we did run into a few bumps. Two of the main items we wanted to try, the Eggs Benedict and the Shakshuka, were unavailable, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, when I ordered the Grilled Prawns and polenta for my daughter, I was surprised to find it spicy. This wasn't indicated explicitly on the menu (harissa was the spice I believe since I had to look it up after), and the server didn't warn us. Similarly, the crispy potatoes we added on for my daughter also turned out to be spicy as well, and without a note or warning, which unfortunately led to my daughter being unable to enjoy her $35+ meal. Overall the food was fantastic, but I'd recommend Aziza clearly label dishes that are spicy, especially for the add-ons. It's a small detail that would have made a big difference in our experience. read more

Aziza is a cool Moroccan-inspired restaurant in the Outer Richmond and my guess is that tourists never make it here for brunch. It isn't the kind of place you typically stumble upon, especially in this neighborhood. It's a destination, one that many people living in The City trek almost all the way to the ocean for. I enjoyed the Bloody Mary, which had a sweet and sour taste to it. The soft scrambled eggs were really good. I swapped out the rye toast for sourdough country which came with avocado on it. The Shakshuka was really flavorful. I've never had it before but it was a good option for a non traditional brunch item. It was made with two hen egg yolks, chickpeas, kale, fennel, dill and country toast. Worth sharing for sure. read more

We came here for what we thought was going to be a wonderful evening. I had dine here over 10yrs ago and had a wonderful time with good food. Not knowing if the place is the same or not but the reviews were very promising. The dinner started off very nice, had order wine and our first two plates came out reasonably quick. After that, everything it was all bad. The next dish of food served took over an hour. They had bought all the remaining dishes out at once and just dumped it on our table. We asked to speak to the manager who was quite rude. We got 2 sentences in before he rudely cut me off and gave me an insincere apology and basically brush us off. Clearly didn't want to deal with the problem nor was he concerned that we had waited over an hour for our food. Seriously need to learn some managing skills and at the least, attend managing 101. Needlessly, the rest of the evening was ruined, I would strongly not recommend this place unless you like waiting over an hour for your food. Worst than that was the insincerity of the manager to our complaint. read more

I wd give it 3.5 The food was PHENOMENOL. The flavours were very good. Service was dismal. They need to hire more people. When a table orders dishes we expect them to come at the same time. Some folks got their dish after 20 mins, totally unacceptable. Also it is very LOUD. Can't hear the folks across the table. Will go back but if the service is not upto par for a restaurant of that calibre it might not be on our list. read more

I hate feeling I have to write a negative review, but in the hopes that other diners can avoid our situation or that the restaurant can make improvements - here we go. Sometimes you get a feeling that a restaurant has gotten too popular for their own good. Service gets slow and/or has other problems, and food quality slides. Aziza has either always been overrated, or is on the downward slide. Dinner service for the 4 of us this evening took 2 1/2 hours, and not because we were lingering. We had an appetizer course and a main - and waited 45 minutes after finishing the appetizers waiting for the mains. Appetizers were kind of adequate. We had the somewhat interesting bread with spreads, mediocre octopus, and a passable eggplant dish. Nothing noteworthy, but not particularly poor. The main courses ranged from passable (ground chicken in filo) to just awful (Green shakshouka and a mussels dish). The latter 2 were poorly composed, and horribly spiced. The shakshouka was a questionably colored dark green morass of spinach and salt. The mussels tasted like nothing other than sun dried tomatoes. Service was fine, at first, then slowed noticeably. Also, strangely when we tried to order appetizers first as we were still chatting about mains to order, the waiter essentially politely refused to do anything but take the complete order. Probably not their fault - I'm guessing this is policy, and yet was laughable as the time between the appetizers and mains was still 45 minutes. Finally, the pricing is way out of line with the dishes served and the quality - high even by the current inflated and tariffed standards. read more

Visited this restaurant a year later and things are still amazing. The cornbread is a showstopper and a must to order. The lamb shank was delicious as last time. They were out of the Bronzino this time so I ordered the shrimp and it was perfect balance of sweet spicy and earthy. The service was very professional and friendly. The space was clean and very welcoming. read more

EVERYTHING!!!! EVERYTHING went well. I was in town and went for a be-lated HBD dinner. I have never tried Moroccan, so this was the first time there. The ambience was warm with a minimalist, earthy setting. The food was delicious! The chicken, bread, appetizers. It was all flavorful. The highlight was the service. Marie was our server. Of course it was a team effort because someone else cleaned our table between meals while someone else served our food. This was not your average service. It was a poetic display of customer service that I have experienced very little of. They were all attentive and made this dinner experience memorable. Not so much that it could be overbearing. She was knowledgeable of the cuisine, the cooking methods, and the Moroccan culture. She was attentive to the dietary restrictions needs and was prompt to provide equally palatable options. She engaged just enough and allowed herself to be a part of my dinner experience as if she was also a guest. I am very excited to go back. Definitely will go again. Marie!!! You can't quit until I come back! read more

I visited Aziza for my birthday and had the most wonderful evening. My sister and I were seated within 5 minutes of arrival (we had a reservation). We enjoyed the mussels, cornbread, lamb & salmon tagine. Their food is packed with flavor; perfectly balanced to please the palette. The cornbread stood out as I have never tasted cornbread even half as good as this one. Incredible & off the charts would be a complete understatement. A relaxed, yet classy ambiance complimented with impeccable & friendly service. Thank you for a great birthday! read more

The food is so good! The shrimp were well seasoned, the whipped feta was a great addition to the Greek wings, the broccolini were a little bland. I also got a Greek salad which was good too. The salmon tartare was a bit weird and didn't taste fresh so I wouldn't recommend ordering that. The staff was very attentive and of course the vibes are there. Drinks were great too! read more

Made reservations. Seated within 1min. Order taken within 6min. First plate out in 9min. Love the plate design. The salad was so good! The olives were good; too many were served. The drinks were great! Loved the french Toast. It was great without syrup; added the syrup made it sweeter. The shrimp and grits were delish! Love the garnish in the eggs. the avocado toast was great! The dessert pudding was interesting yet good. The service was great. Worth the try! I think the current 4.2 average rating is a dishonest. The restaurant is easily a 4.5. read more

Food was fabulous but the service was awful. Sadly, we will not be going back because of the poor and rude experience we received from the manager. We waited close to an hour for our food and the moment our plates were cleared he asked us to get up from our table because they had another reservation. No acknowledgement or consideration what so ever and a very snarky attitude. Very disappointing as we have been going here for years but the experience was ruined for us today on Mother's Day. read more

Ordered the short rib, spread trio, and the mussels for 2 and it was DELICIOUS! A lot of food but all the flavors were worth it. Staff was very nice, answered all of our questions, and made us feel at ease. I believe this restaurant was renovated in the past couple years and really loved the decor and ambiance. There was an intimate feel despite the larger than expected interior. Will definitely recommend to my friends and revisit. read more

We decided to try this spot for brunch after seeing it recommended on Reddit for SF brunch spots. While it's more known for dinner, their brunch didn't disappoint! There was no wait, and we were seated right away at 11 AM. They have ample indoor seating. We ordered the Olives & Walnuts, Beghrir Pancakes, and Shakshuka. The pancakes were hands down the best I've ever had; soft, moist, and perfectly paired with honey. They weren't too sweet or heavy, and we honestly considered ordering another one! The Shakshuka was also great, with a rich tomato flavor and a good amount of protein. The sourdough on the side had a nice crunchy crust and a soft center. The only letdown was the Olives & Walnuts, we were expecting pitted olives, and we're not fans of whole ones. The walnuts were tasty, but there weren't many of them. read more

Came here on a double date with my hubby, my friend & her hubby. My friend raved about Aziza having been several times throughout the years. It's my first time and got to say- it was excellent. I just came back from the Middle East a few months ago and was craving Moroccan /Middle Eastern food again. The menu consists of appetizers to share, entrees and any sides you might want to add. I'm loving the not just the flavorful food but the colorful presentation. We ordered 2 orders of the flatbreads with the various dips. We also ordered 2 of the eggplant (must try!). Each of us had the chicken, basteeya (must try too!), Shakshuka, and the whole branzino (another must try). I would say each of the entree was large enough to share with another person. Small appetizers but large entrees. We were stuffed and given dessert menus but sadly, did not have room for it. Excellent food all around. Very good service, from our server too. read more

I was so excited initially to be celebrating my birthday here after years of having this restaurant on my places to dine in SF. Things unfortunately took a turn when I entered the restaurant and was rudely greeted by a man who was quick to inform me that if my party of six wasn't present, I would lose the table. He delivered this information in a very rude and aggressive manner, completely disregarding the fact that I had a reservation. This immediately put a damper on my birthday celebration. I was incredibly disappointed by his lack of professionalism and empathy, especially considering the significance of the occasion. I was there to celebrate my birthday and he really just put a damper in my night. He didn't even offer a solution. I hope that management will address this issue with the host (potentially a junior assistant manager) to ensure future guests have a more positive dining experience. Besides this experience, the food and service was great; however, I truly would not come back based on the interaction i had which just left a terrible impression for me and my guests. read more

Came here for brunch around 11am on a Saturday and was seated immediately with lots of empty seats. It looked like it started to fill up around 12. Interior is nice inside, pretty unassuming from the outside. Perfect for a date or catch up with friends. We ordered: Labni Yogurt ($10)- this was beautifully plated, loved all the fruit and lots of granola. A lot less yogurt in comparison, which I didn't mind, but it was a bit too sweet for me. I like the tangy/tartness of labneh yogurt and it didn't really come through for me here. Shakshuka ($22)- This was really really well done. The flavors in this dish were amazing. Loved the chickpeas in this, as I've not had chickpeas in my shakshuka before. Crispy Potatoes side ($10)- These were soooo good. Perfectly crispy and flavorful. Came with a good portion size. Custard French Toast ($15)- Waited a little long for this one but it was soooo good. Definitely a bit heavy, so good to share- would not order as an entree alone. Not overly sweet, but still a nice sweet bite to end a meal. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside! Bloody Mary ($15)- Forgot the name of this drink, but my boyfriend got it and loved it! Overall, food was really really well done and nicely presented. It just took like over 20 minutes for the custard french toast to come out after we had finished our meal, so I probably wouldn't have coursed out the food like they suggested in the future. Also, note there's not too much meat on the brunch menu- which I actually prefer, but my boyfriend did point that out as nothing we got had meat (the $12 for kefta seemed a bit steep). Definitely a tad pricy and will add up, but they had good portion sizes and was definitely full by the time the french toast came. Would love to come for dinner. read more

3/12/23 2pm Sunday 4.5 stars I brought a friend in to have brunch here. I like that their brunch plates are healthier than American ones. I got the eggs Benedict and a latte. The crispy potato rounds are outstanding. They use both purple potatoes and golden potatoes. My dish came with a healthy side salad. The ambiance feels upscale, and brunch prices are average for this area, so paying for this ambiance with high ceilings and lots of natural light for a catch-up or hangout is worth it. My friend got their shakshuka. It's the first time he had it in his life, and he's happy with his first time shakshuka experience. The hostess who doubled up as our waitress was very kind, helped us get seated as soon as possible, and was very thorough with explaining what was used as ingredients for our food. The bussers were good about refilling our waters. read more

More than 20 years ago, we had dinner at Aziza with friends and solemnly swore that we would be back. Then we moved to the other side of town and forgot all about the place. Today we had the most delicious brunch with my elder mom and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My mom tends to act like she's considering lots of things on the menu but then always orders yogurt and granola. The "spiced lebne" description worried her a bit since she can't do spicy. The waiter very graciously offered to bring her a small sample to see it it would work for her - nice touch. We started with the spiced cashews to nibble on - addictive. My mom loved her dish. My wife and I shared the shakshuka with a side of kefte. So delicious and popping with flavor. The presentation was gorgeous. We debated whether to get dessert and I'm glad we did - we all shared the date cake with vanilla ice cream and candied pecans. read more
