I came to Dar Tajine in Plantation with a good friend of mine, and we truly dined like kings. This was one of those meals that stays with you, because everything came together so beautifully. The food was wonderful from start to finish, and the atmosphere made the experience even more special. There was something about the ambiance that took me right back to France, to those moments of breaking bread with my North African friends, surrounded by warmth, conversation, and the kind of hospitality that makes a place feel familiar the moment you walk in. I felt right at home. Fatima deserves special recognition. She was so kind to me and made me feel completely welcome. Her presence was gentle, warm, and sincere, and it elevated the entire experience. It honestly felt like I was being looked after at my Moroccan auntie's house. That kind of feeling cannot be faked, and it means a great deal. As for the food, it was amazing. The pastilla with chicken and almonds, dusted with sugar and cinnamon, was absolutely delicious, with that beautiful balance of savory richness and gentle sweetness that makes the dish so memorable. The msemmen was warm, comforting, and deeply satisfying. The merguez tajine was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The Moroccan harira had that soulful, nourishing quality that makes a great soup feel like part of the heart of the meal. The zaalouk was excellent as well, rich and flavorful and a perfect addition to everything else on the table. Dar Tajine gave us more than a meal. It gave us an experience filled with warmth, flavor, generosity, and heart. The food was amazing, the hospitality was genuine, and Fatima made a lasting impression. This place deserves real praise, and I would gladly return. read more

Amazing Moroccan restaurant in Plantation. I came there for my husband's birthday dinner, who was fasting during Ramadan. Very nice cozy atmosphere.

Excellent food, BUT the ladies room is so disgusting, I cant go back. I discussed this with the staff 3 years ago. It was filthy, no soap,broken paper machine without paper. I complained in person, they did not seem fazed by my dismay. It has not been fixed for 3 years. read more

4th star because of the bread. Very very good. Felt the rice could have been more flavorful. And the chicken Tajine was decent. Service was good and during pick up I liked the design of the restaurant. Think it was good to try but not sure if I like tajine as it was my first time having it. read more

Found this place on yelp when I was in the area and glad I did. Had an excellent meal with my family. We started the meal with mint tea and this pastry filled with chicken. I was surprised how much I loved the tea. The pastry was really good as well. For entrees we ordered the beef tajine and the Royal couscous. Both were great but the tajine was out the stand out of the meal. Service was good throughout the meal. Would def come back if in the area. read more

I absolutely love Florida's diverse food scene! After a year of planning, we finally tried Dar Tajine in Plantation, Florida & it exceeded expectations. The ground beef briwat, Moroccan bread, royal couscous with lamb shank, mixed grill, & chicken bastille were all phenomenal! Service was also on point. read more

The food was very tasty and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. It really adds to the dining experience. The menu is fairly limited in variety, which is fine, but I probably won't be coming back unless I am specifically craving this restaurant. Just a note: we weren't told that we needed to pay at the front so we waited and waited - enjoying our time, nonetheless - until we saw another party get up to pay and realized. read more

I went to Dar Tajine this evening with my husband and the food was a 10/10. We ordered the large mint tea which was extremely fresh and the tea pot had a beautiful Moroccan design. For appetizers we ordered the beet salad and spinach salad. Both were extremely fresh and filling. As our main dish we tried the lamb Tajine which is one of the national dishes. The lamb was perfectly prepared and the spices and sauce were very flavorful along with the rice. All together the meal was extremely healthy and priced very reasonably. This is another spot that we plan to be regulars at! Great experience, beautiful cultural atmosphere, amazing healthy options, and very delicious. read more

The food, the atmosphere the authenticity and the service were excellent. Highly recommend this Moroccan restaurant.

I have been married to a Moroccan woman for 22 years she was Marrakesh and her mom could not speak English but she was the best cook ever. My ex was also a very good cook having grown up in Morocco. I also owned a home on AVe De France in Marrakesh. I say all that to qualify myself to make a review. The food is totally authentic. The bread the salad the Tajine all excellent. read more

I tried this restaurant with my friend who said it's one of her favorite restaurants. I ordered one of the specialities, Lamb Shank Tangine. It comes with either vegetables or prunes and almonds, I chose the vegetables. I found it quite bland. I was expecting a more flavorful seasoned taste. I had some leftovers the next day, and had to add some seasoning at home. The server was friendly, but after she delivered us the food, she didn't come by once to check on our meal, and it was not crowded. If she did, I may have asked for more seasoning, but I didn't want to impose. My friend loved her meal. So all in all, I would try this restaurant again, but one of the other offerings from the interesting menu. read more

It's rare for three people to go into a restaurant, and be floored by every dish ordered. From the mint tea and the salads, to the vegetarian and lamb tajine, everything was beautifully plated and flavorful. The staff is friendly and attentive. The decor borrows from the environs of Morocco, and there is no overwhelming music! Plenty of parking. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! I placed a to go order and within about 20 mins I had my steaming hot chicken couscous. The portions are huge and tasty, but I felt like it needed some sort of sweetness to balance the dish. Maybe some sort of dried fruit? Regardless, the restaurant is beautiful and I will definitely be back to try their other dishes. read more

Dar Tajine - Chicken Couscous - Moroccan Near Me - Plantation, Florida

i'm not really sure what happened to this place. Used to be great but now service is horrible. Came with my family and waited over 45 minutes just for a tea to be brought. Appetizers and meal came in all at the same time. They forgot items on our order, yet attempted to be charged for it even though half of it didn't come out. Three hours dining in a restaurant for a simple lunch. read more

Everything we got was fantastic. The mint tea is absolutely to die for. We got the lamb tajine and beef tajine, and both were perfectly cooked. The meat was tender and the lamb fell off the bone. The interior is very cozy and the service is friendly. This is one of the best hidden gems in Broward! read more

Dar Tajine - Beef Tajine - Moroccan Near Me - Plantation, Florida

Morocco has been on my travel bucket list for a long time, so you can imagine how excited I was to discover that we have Moroccan cuisine right here in Broward! I ordered the mint tea with the chicken briwat appetizer and the seafood tajine with rice as my entree. The mint tea was pleasantly sweet without being overwhelming, and had a subtle flavor that I really enjoyed. I only ordered a small pot this time, but I'm pretty sure I could go through a large all by myself! I absolutely love that they pour the tea from a height for you too, it really made the experience. The chicken briwat had so much flavor packed into each roll and was served piping hot and perfectly crispy. I also really liked the tajine - the seafood was cooked well, and the tomato-based sauce was flavorful without being too acidic. There were so many tasty-sounding dishes on the menu, I can't wait to come back and try some more! The colorful, decorative interior of the restaurant was very inviting, and I was thoroughly impressed with the service. Our waiter was friendly and so attentive despite handling all the tables himself. He answered all of my questions about allergens and took care to keep the glasses full at our table for the duration of our visit. If you find yourself in Broward, be sure to make time to experience the flavor and hospitality at Dar Tajine! read more

Food is amazing! Staff is very friendly and the vibe inside is so unique. Definitely a hidden gem!

We had the pleasure of visiting Morocco and fell in love with both the people and the food. I made a reservation after trying for 2 days since they don't answer the phone but just keep trying if you want to reserve. We were a party of 5 with a 6PM reservation. We were promptly sat down and the waiter was very attentive. Ordered the variety salad and it was amazing, ordered bastilla both chicken and seafood and it was better than in Morocco. We all got tagine, beef, lamb and seafood and all were just amazing. We will be returning for sure! read more

Once in awhile, something so unique comes around that you have no choice but to try it. This was the case with Dar Tajine. Dar Tajine, point blank, is special. It's the only one of its kind down in South Florida. It's been around for several years now and it proudly serves Moroccan food. Having never been to Morocco, I have no idea how authentic their food really is. My companion on this foodie adventure, though, has been and he said it lined up pretty well. We're already planning a return visit. That being said, because I don't know a lot about this culture, I do have to ask myself what is typical. Yes, the food is one matter, but I want to express my thoughts on the service first. America has this whole "the customer is always right" mentality, so maybe I'm thinking of it in terms of being American. Keeping that in mind, I will tell you that the service annoyed me beyond belief. The first strike was when I called them on the Wednesday before our dinner. They say they open close to noon. Well, it took three calls before I even received an answer. I called them near opening time, about an hour later, and finally around 5 PM. It was that last one where I spoke to an employee and was suggested heavily to make a reservation for Saturday, so I did. Party of two for 7 PM Saturday night. Then Saturday arrives and we are running behind schedule. I get asked if there is any possibility of pushing the reservation to 8 PM. Sure, no problem, I'll call. Well, I called and called and called... *crickets chirp* We wound up rushing over as I couldn't get anyone on the phone and we really wanted to go to this restaurant. Strike two. Upon arrival at the restaurant, I am downright floored because the majority of the tables had paper slips with the names of the reservations. Yet almost all the tables were empty. Even later as the crowd came in, I couldn't understand how if they had an empty restaurant, no one could pick up the phone. The entire time we were there only once was the phone picked up, and at least being at the restaurant, I could see why. They're severely understaffed and it took forever to get anything. Strike three. Despite these shortcomings, I'm a fan. The food was unlike anything else I've ever had. To begin with, they don't sell alcohol, so it's either water or soda. You can have coffee or tea, too, but that tends to be best for later on in the meal. A note on the menu - they have a paper there saying prices are subject to change. I guess they are waiting for new menus to come in. As far as food goes, he ordered the royal couscous, which is lamb shank with Merguez (a type of sausage made with ground meat and Moroccan spices) with veggies on top of a bed of couscous served in warm seasoned broth. I don't like lamb in general, but I sampled it. It was tender and flavorful. The sausage, too, followed suit. It was a dish that was doused in diverse meat and so much seasonings that somehow worked in unison. My companion loved it. I found myself heavily wishing I liked red meat more. Because of the aforementioned, when I saw the half chicken tajine, I knew that was the plate for me. All the tajines brought a salad (a decent one, too) and your choice of rice or pita bread. I chose rice which came to me in a fluffy yellow color that was both pleasing to the eye and to the palette. The actual chicken meanwhile came with green olives and preserved lemon. I feel the olives could've been cooked more but nevertheless paired well with the chicken and lemon. The chicken had some parts where there was too much bone and also a tad of dryness, but the sauce it came with rectified this problem and just made me curse the cut of the chicken. I think they need to get rid of all these unnecessary bones. The sauce of the half chicken tajine meanwhile was so great that my companion kept grabbing bites of my dish. Hey, better for me: sharing is caring. That and I was already eyeing the desserts. Here the desserts are an assortment, and when you ask for dessert, you get brought to you at least four cookies made out of flour and nuts. There is sadly no chocolate, but you won't miss it. The cookies are grand, especially as they're heavy and tend to be had with either coffee or tea. We had our dessert with a medium mint tea. It came in a beautiful teapot and they poured it in front of us. I wish I had had the foresight to capture it on video because it was magical. The mint tea, too, was a rich and warm color, and drinking it, I will tell you I was reluctant to do so. I don't favor mint tea typically, but this one might have converted me. It may perhaps be all the sugar, but who knows? It's a winner. When everything's said and done, I honestly find myself debating between three or four stars. This should be an easy four stars, but the grievances put me in quite a mood. Still, given that we would delightfully go back, I think that says everything. Four stars but barely. Hoping next time they have their kinks worked out! read more

Going to Dar Tajinr is such a great experience ! in terms of the food, it is very authentic and one of the closest things I've had to actually being in Morocco. It is very well decorated and you can tell that it is family owned and run. The service is quite slow and I would say that's the biggest con, but other than that it's an experience and I definitely recommend read more

Ask the kids , how would they rate the stars - answer- 6. 1st visit to a Moroccan restaurant Dar Tajine. Youssef was a fun waiter who's menu suggestions were good. Bright colors, designs and cushions. Even a small leather ornate light ( see pix) Food tasty but not overly spicy. For us who are not big eaters, portions were fine and favorable with a touch of left overs. A small bread loaf came with 2 small cups one sweet like a mayo the other spiced. I did ask for a bread to go (charged an extra $4.00 not being told) though even had I been told, I'd likely still have bought it to top off the leftovers but might have asked for additional dips (I take a star away for that) I do suggest the mint tea served flamboyantly in silver tea pot with special potholder handle in little glasses. The chicken- tasted like - chicken. The lamb shank - fall off of bone soft ( see pix) was yummy. The suggested and ordered dessert were 5 small assorted fresh cookies. Do plan to be back. read more

Anyone who knows me, knows I like to source out unusual spots, for everything. So on a visit to plantation I sourced Dar Tajine. I am a tab hand at making Moroccan food, but I wanted to sample some Moroccan street food albeit being surrounded in a Moroccan oasis and this place offers this. The decor is Moroccan, colourful with beautiful lighting. They even have goods to purchase such as tagines, and some household things. We enjoyed the ritual of having the Moroccan tea. We found the music choice rather weird though, it was kinda jazz? which did not go with the aesthetics in our opinion. We tried various foods. Worthy of a stop if you are adventurous. read more

Fantastic food and wonderful service in a relaxing atmosphere. Lamb tajine was perfect.

Hasna was very kind and welcoming! The food was amazing and the ambiance is beautiful. I love all the authentic decoration.

So many amazing things to say about this authentic restaurant. I found it by accident but it will become a favorite destination (20 mile drive for me) spot. EVERYONE is super friendly which I know should be a extra point but it's a welcoming addition. From the decorations to the AMAZING tea, to the smell of the spices, I'm a fan. Food is prepare while you wait so don't rush perfection. read more

Dar Tajine - Moroccan Near Me - Plantation, Florida

This was my first time trying Moroccan food and I think I made the right choice by choosing this place . I had the half chicken Tajine and one of the chicken pastries with almonds on the side . Both were great and the seasonings were savory but not overwhelming That chicken pastry has got to be one of the most interesting yet delicious flavors ! This was my favorite part of the meal. Appetizers were great but it's amazing how something as simple as a well brewed cup of mint tea can relax you and add to the ambiance of the place This was one of my favorite food ventures I've had in a while I urge other people to give them a try The ratings are well justified read more

Last night was my second time at this elegant establishment. I love the decor. It really transports you to Morocco for the imagination. (Never been but do plan to go). The mint tea is a wonderful way to start. The beet salad is scrumptious. We had the family 4- person platter for three of us. Yes we love food and when it's deliciously seasoned - who can stop wanting it. Love the lamb chops but the chicken, beef and kafta kabobs did not fall behind in amazing taste. We had to forgo dessert . This is a definite repeat. read more

Went here for lunch with a friend and we loved it. I had the half chicken taljine that came with yellow rice. It was delicious. My friend had the lamb tanjine she was equally happy. I also ordered the chicken bastilla and it was good with powdered sugar over it. The mint tea was great. As was the Arabic coffee. This place is beautiful inside but back in the corner of a strip plaza. A true gem but I'm worried not enough people know about it as it's hidden. I really loved the music playing and the decor. read more

I have had this restaurant bookmarked for some time. We are fans of Moroccan food - starting many years ago when I briefly visited the country and continuing fond memories after we met the owner of a wonderful Moroccan restaurant in Atlanta (He had been the host for the Moroccan delegation during the Olympics there). Unfortunately, there are not many places that serve this cuisine in South Florida. We stopped here for lunch. I had called first to make sure they were doing inside dining (because of covid). Luckily for us, they were, and they were not busy. Tables inside were distanced so we felt comfortable. We started with a medium pot of mint tea. It came hot, fragrant, and already sweetened. It was served in small glasses as is traditional. We ordered a small chicken bastilla to start. It is baked layers of thin filo like pastry stuffed with chicken, almonds, eggs, and herbs. The outside was dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. It's one of my favorite dishes. It was aromatic and tasty. After the bastilla, we were served a house salad which came with our entree - a tagine that I had ordered. We shared the lamb shank tagine. The unique baking dish with its conical top was "presented" to the table; the top is removed dramatically (ta da!) to reveal the food below. The lamb was tender/fall off the bone, with a couple prunes and apricots, and almond slivers. We spooned the sauce over the meat and the accompanying yellow rice. For dessert, we tried their mixed "delights" - a variety of cookies with chocolate, coconut, and nuts. My favorite one was a short bread style cookie with a filling made from dates and topped with powdered sugar. If you like Moroccan food, you have to try this place. If you are curious about authentic Moroccan cuisine, this restaurant would provide a great introduction. I know we will be back. read more

Stuck in a rut on what to do for dinner, my boyfriend and I wanted something different and something we'd never tried before. A quick search on Yelp led us to this hidden gem. After reading all of the raving reviews, we made our way over. We shared a pot of mint tea and the chicken Bastilla for our appetizer. The tea is already sweetened and just what you need to open your palette for the array of flavors heading your way. We saw pictures and reviews of the chicken Bastilla which intrigued us so we knew we had to give it a try. The shredded chicken was a bit dry for me, but was flavored well and all the spices inside made it a delight to eat. For our mains, I had the beef tajine and my boyfriend had the lamb shank tajine. Both meats were so tender and buttery and the lamb practically fell off the bone. Both dishes were served with a mix of potatoes, carrots and other veggies so it was almost like a stew. We also ordered some fresh moroccan bread to soak up all that sauce and it was delish! For dessert, we shared the sampler which came with small authentic pastries and cookies. The service was great and the decor will make you feel like you're on a visit to Morocco. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

Been here several times, the flavors have always been fantastic. Went last night with my brother, we ordered: 1/2 Chicken Tagine, Kafta Tagine, Mixed Grill, and some bread and side salad. Again everything tasted great - BUT - the Mixed Grill was HALF the portion size we were expecting, especially at a $27 price tag Service was ok, the waiter was on his phone the entire time, but not a big deal. Ambiance was nice as always. Would definitely recommend going here, just don't order the Mixed Grill unless you're ok paying 2-3x what the price should be. read more
