We always have a delicious meal and the proprietor is very friendly. The food is authentic and well prepared.

I don't recommend, gave them a few tries and each time the food was cold, we were over charged, the guy refused to communicate and some dishes we ordered were missing (when we did pickup twice) - and we didn't order much/the place wasn't busy. It just seems like a bit of a scam... Normally would be careful writing a review like this on a small business, but truly felt over charged, and he wouldn't give us a receipt. read more

Enjoyed the Mezze plate, kofta tajin and lamp tajin. Excellent and friendly service. Will come back again.

Ambiance- no doubt the best in the area. Had a beautiful lunch outside with my girlfriend I hadn't seen in ages. We ate, we had a man playing harmonica across the street serenading us and the owner who would come check on us. Lots of positive energy. Service- food came out looking fresh and delicious with a smile. Food- best baba ganoush I've ever had. Spicy carrots were my favorite and went so nicely with the hummus. Y'all must get the mezze- MUST. The flavors are amazing. The salmon came out perfectly cooked with rice that was a dream. ‍ I couldn't have been happier with our visit and plan on taking everyone I know here. Support this family as their food speaks the love of generations. read more

Really 3.5, but I'm feeling generous. The food flavor/taste, solid. Decor Insta-worthy. Staff very friendly. Portions for sides like bread and rice very much on the stingy side. Service is lack luster to low grade. For the price point, having to ask for extra bread, pita, clean plates, utensils, take away dirty plates, will have people not returning. BTW, asking for just water for your " drink order " will be bottled, not ice water in a glass or cup. It'll be a while till I return, but worth checking them out if your around, especially for some late night comfort food. read more

While looking for a celebratory restaurant to celebrate 2 birthdays, I came across White House Tajine. I made the reservation and then read several reviews where couples were turned away on Valentine's Day even with reservations, so I called to triple check we were on the list and remind them in person we were celebrating 2 birthdays. When we got to the restaurant, we walked into the main dining room but were ushered upstairs. In that small dining room, the walls are draped in fabric with the decor seeming to be a little tired. We started with a small mezze which was an okay size for four although we could have used more pita bread. The 5 dishes in the mezze were a good variety, and I especially enjoyed the baba ghanoush. My husband had the Kefta Tagine which he said was good although a little under seasoned. I liked the Chicken Tagine as it came out hot and juicy although it too could have used more seasoning. One of our friends was not happy with his chicken cous cous while his wife had the lamb kabob. She said it was good although dry. Because we were upstairs, the servers had to constantly run up and down the stairs, so they kept opening the front door. As our table was right next to the stairs, throughout the meal I kept jumping up from my seat to dash down the stairs in order to close the door since they kept leaving it open. No one seemed to care the cold air was blowing in through the open front door, and I kept having to ask the servers to please close the door. It also took a long time to get our entrees, and people who were seated after us appeared to get theirs well before us. At the end of the meal, there was not one acknowledgment for the real reason we were there--to celebrate 2 birthdays. Overall, interesting food and a money-saving BYOB, but just an okay experience. read more

White House Tajine - Moroccan Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

After returning from Morocco several months ago we decided to try this restaurant for the first time. We ordered a Seafood Hout Tagine that was fresh, very flavorful. and a generous portion. Also, a chicken skewer cooked to perfection with saffron rice and huumus that was divine. It 's a family restaurant and father and son are warm and friendly. We love good food and will defintely return. We also love that any quality place can be open late in the sleepy suburbs. Tom and Ellen read more

Food is really great, but the service has to be one of the worst I ever received. First, there is no AC inside, and my friends and I had to squeeze in the corner seat with the decoration constantly hitting my head. The main server kept forgetting what our table number was and was asking US what it was, showing us the iPad and putting it down on the table and going through the tables one by one, seeing which one was ours.. We ordered the Medium Moroccan Mezze, Falafel Platter, Mediterranean salad, and the Chicken Dinner Kabob Platter, and Moroccan Coffee. It took about 45 minutes since we got seated for the mezze, falafel platter, and salad to come out. Not gonna lie, we were impressed by the food and it was so good! I wanted to save some of the hummus and dips for the chicken kabob, so I was taking my time eating them until we realized we had finished everything and had to ask for more pita. We did get more pita pretty soon after, and this time it was warmed up and we were like wow! yes! Even yummier! And then the server asked if we were done and so we asked when the rest of our orders was coming out. He looked confused. Once again, he asked what our table number was and went through the iPad together to find that we indeed placed more orders.. At this time it had been about 1.5hours since we had sat down. It was also getting hotter because there is no AC here and the fan was not blowing in our direction... He tells the kitchen staff to get us our chicken kabob and the coffee. Only about 10 minutes later they come out, and so we think they had originally forgotten it.. At this rate we were full and a lot of dessert places seem to be closing soon so we decide to finish our food fast and ask for the check. The main server was constantly outside so we ask a different, younger guy for the bill. He says okay. But he continues to just run around and serve other tables, which we were confused about and were getting impatient with, since we already had to wait so long for our food and now we had to wait more to even leave the restaurant.. Once again, we ask for the bill to the same guy, and the main server runs in saying HE is the check man and that we should not be asking anybody else. Other customers look at us and laugh. We try to pay and for the third time, he forgets our table number. Good thing we memorized ours and helped him out right away. We got the bill, and the plastic bottled water that we received were charged in the bill which I thought was ridiculous.. They were not serving tap water and this was the only water that they were giving. So why then was it charged on the bill..? Anyways, the food was great so it is such a shame that the service is pretty bad that I would not come back unless I had all the time in the world to spare.. read more

i had lunch for the first time last week at White House Tajine. I cannot believe I did not know this deliciousness on the Main Line existed! First of all, on a cold winter day, it was so nice to be in their cozy space with cushioned couches and embroidered cushions as backing in the sunny alcove at the front of the restaurant. Then the food, oh, such scrumptiousness! Chicken Pastilla - 5*/5 - flaky phyllo dough dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar, a delectable mixture of chicken, almonds, raisins? dates? inside, yum! Baba Ganoush - 5*/5 - the best baba ganoush I've ever had including my ten days in Greece, amazing! It's a silky smooth blend of the eggplant with olive oil and the hot from the oven perfectly toasted pita triangles accompany this to make it even more tasty Greek salad - 4/5 - basic salad with fresh vegetables, I would have liked the pieces to be cut larger but that's a personal preference And now for the truly amazing finish, the baklava! 5***/5 The proprietor said he made the best baklava and he was correct. It is truly the best baklava I've ever had - it was light and flaky, not cloyingly sweet or sticky the way most are prepared, there was some special extra light flavor (rose water?) that made it extra special. I can't wait to go back and try more items and definitely have more of that baklava (might need to stop by and get some for a snack when I'm in Bryn Mawr!) read more

Service was terrible, which affected everything else. Bread promised to the table never came, nor a waiter to ask about it. Water was delivered after 10 or 15 minutes. Though we had a reservation for 7 pm, they seemed totally unprepared for us and seemed very shortstaffed. We were told the person who checked us in, Zach, had already left. Nobody came to check on us while waiting or during the meal and items that were requested to come first as an appetizer, such as soup and the pastilla dish, were served altogether with entrées. The worst was checking out. We were never given a bill. The waiter came with an iPad and said what the total was, $177 for 4 people. Seemed high, but we just paid it and left. On the way home we tried to calculate how the bill could be that high for what we ordered. We were given no receipt and none was emailed, so we saw no breakdown of the charges. I called there the next day and left a message, where nobody called back. I called again later in the day and spoke with someone 3 TIMES before I got an emailed receipt, and could finally see the errors. I was actually texted screenshots, where I could see the charges. We were charged for a lamb couscous ($39) instead of a vegetable couscous ($29), a $10 difference in an already overpriced dish that had few vegetables and little couscous. Expecting to share it with 2 people, it was good that we ordered some other things. It was not a proper serving for 2 (small portion) and it was just ok. We were also charged twice for tea when asked if we wanted refills. Can you believe $20 for tea? All in all, a huge overcharge. Instead of refunding just the difference in the charge, he refunded the price of the entire dish, so the refund was $51. But in what occurred with the service and the fact we could not get a bill, put a real damper on an otherwise pleasant evening with friends. There is no excuse for what happened, and will likely prevent me from returning to this restaurant. It's a shame, as the flavor of the food is good. read more

Wow, this place is awesome. We don't live close by but one time I went to surreal creamery I saw this place. I looked online and saw the amazing food pictures and the raving reviews. I decided to take my husband there for a date night. We were both seated right away, we brought our baby, and the staffs were so friendly. The owner was very helpful and recommended several dishes for us. We were so glad they did, cuz the food was phenomenal. And the presentation was on point too. I will definitely come back again, the only slight criticism I would say is when we came there's a lot of flies, which could be distracting sometimes. read more

I went here with my wife a week or two ago for dinner. We were seated by the front door. The place has 2 doors and a vestibule, but they leave the outside door open so anytime someone comes in or anytime someone runs food to the upstairs, a cold gust of wind comes in. We were immediately given a corkscrew and glasses for our bottles of wine, then service disappeared without giving us menus, water or anything else. After about 15 minutes of sitting in the Arctic with no menus, we talked about going somewhere else. Finally a different waiter came over and asked if we needed help. He then gave us menus and called over another waiter to take our orders. After appetizers, and about another half-hour after that, the waiter brings out my dinner and walks away. A couple minutes later, when he walked back, I asked about my wife's dinner. To make a long story short, it took about 30 more minutes for them to bring out her dinner, which meant mine was cold sitting there. They offered 15% off, which was nice but overall it was a bad experience. The salmon was fine, but nothing special and the lamb I had was just plain with some plain potatoes and prunes. The prunes were a good addition. The water was plastic bottled water, as opposed to being served in a glass. I'd be fine with this in a more budget setting, but if you're charging regular restaurant prices, I'd expect a glass. Being that I picked the place, I had to apologize to my wife. I'm giving the restaurant a 2-star rating because it is a family place and the father came out to talk to everyone during dinner. It looked like he cared. I liked the ambiance as well. Aside from that, it was not worth going back to. read more

Always looking for new restaurants and last night my buddy and I met up and went out for dinner. He recommended this place although, I was reluctant to go as each time I have gone to Moroccan places I never really cared for the food. It was his bday so I let him take the lead. Food was incredible, start to finish everything was amazing. We got a medium size Mezze which was incredible. Never had hummus that I enjoyed, this was incredible. Baba Ghanoush was fantastic as well. Additionally we got the Lamb and Chicken Kebab and a Goat Tajine. all were outstanding. To top it off, the gentlemen who waited on us I believe also was the chef was amazing. Very welcoming, friendly and funny. You can tell he loves to make people smile, not only through his interactions with the customer but through the passion and love he puts into his food. Amazing place and look forward to going back. read more

White House Tajine - Moroccan Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

We dined at the White House Tajine around 4pm with the restaurant being almost empty (just one couple sitting down). The waiter asks if we have reservations and we say no an he said you can take that table. The table has two used and dirty plates which we set aside. The waiter comes and gives us the same plates again, which we note that they are dirty. He leaves and comes back 5 minutes later to take the order (Baba Ghanoosh, two lamb kabobs and a lamb shank Tajine). We sit for 15 minutes and he comes with the appetizer and which point we ask for water. He then brings us 3 bottled waters (and no glasses). After half an hour, he comes with two lamb kabobs, which have a tiny tiny amount of rice for in a bowl (to be shared for two people). Then after 10 minutes he comes with the other dish. If we wait for 30 minutes, at least we expect the food to arrive at the same time. Both dishes are very bland (although tender) so we ask for salt. He brings a shaker which is so dirty and disgusting (that I refuse to touch). In general the food was bland, the service was awful and the place is super yucky. read more

Cute little spot with excellent food and a waiter with a strong personality haha. I felt a bit strong-armed into the spanakopita and the baklava, but it was worth it. Well, the spanakopita was maybe not worth $14, but it was certainly delicious, especially with the tzatziki. We ordered Moroccan mezze for 2, lamb shank tajine, chicken kababs, and 2 baklava, and it was the perfect amount of food for four of us. But on top of that, because it was our friend's birthday, they turned out the lights in the restaurant, sang to her, and gave us a free coffee ice cream (or mousse?) cake??? They really went above and beyond my expectations for that. So after all is said and done, that meal was totally worth the cost. The lamb literally fell off the bone. The chicken was juicy. The mezze were warm and flavorful, especially on the pita bread. Whatever that tomatoey one was was truly excellent. Like I said, the waiter had a strong personality, but in a fun way. Great spot! read more

This restaurant is, quite frankly, the epitome of charming. The decor is clearly done by hand, the painted stenciling slightly askew, the front window a darling mishmash of brocade and little sparkling candle-lamps and the odd hookah. A large mirror on the far wall stands like some magic portal in the back of a slightly chintzy bazaar, lending an airiness to the room along with the natural light from the wide front window. We were greeted by the proprietor, who learned all of his cooking from his mother and now shares the kitchen with his wife. Determined to ensure every visitor is treated to a flawless experience, he brought bottles of water and then proceeded to tour us through the menu, giving sound advice indeed on where to begin (and to end) the meal. Chatty and teasing, he is wonderful to talk to, but also knows when to vanish again and let you enjoy your food. And you Will. Sweet heaven. The caliber of the food brought to our table is far higher than a glance at the tables on the patio or the slightly drippy geometric patterns on the wall prepares you for. The plating was frankly lovely, and the flavours were absolutely to die for, from the lemony, garlicky eggplant to the sizzling, olive-studded chicken tagine. I came looking specifically for the pastilla, and the cinnamon-and-sugar-dusted, chicken and almond-stuffed pastry did not disappoint. Ultimately, the three of us could not finish everything, so a few scraps of leftovers, and a significant amount of baklava got packaged to go home. I recommend it, honestly, let the experience last as long as you can. So- We live hours south of this precious little place with its long couches and little round bolster pillows, but we Will be back. I'm sure I can find some sort of excuse in the area to make my way back up again, and bring friends. A significant portion of the menu is vegetarian, even, including nearly all of the appetizers (just get the mezze platter), and several other options including a tagine and a falafel gyro. There are also fish options for those who are pescatarian. And for full inclusiveness, it's wheelchair accessible as well. read more

Just wow!! The restaurant has a small main dining space adorned with beautiful Moroccan decor and pillows. The also have an upstairs which is outside and around the corner from the main door. We came here on a busy Saturday night (highly recommend reservations). Service was slow but that was expected on a busy night. We got to admire the belly dancer for about 5 mins before she left. Was bummed about that but we'll make sure we come earlier next time :) We started our evening with the Spanakopita and Mezze (medium size for 2 of us) which was presented on numerous dishes on a lazy susan topped with a tomato cut like a rose. It was OUTSTANDING!! You could taste the freshness in each and every item we ate from the Tabbouleh, hummus, beets, pita to the Zaalouk. The spinach pie was also amazing and I knew right off the bat that the crust was made fresh. Sooo delish! Just when we thought the appetizer platter couldn't of been topped - out came our main dish which was the grilled chicken and shrimp kabob platter. The kabobs were placed on top of a wood planked covered in chopped veggies that were crispy and fresh, a side of tzatziki, grilled carrots and zucchini and rice. Another WOW from us.. Soo good and HEALTHY! Of course we couldn't leave without a small pot of the mint tea and their famous Baklava. Throughout our evening the owner was so personable visiting us and telling us stories about the restaurant. He was such a pleasure! I can't wait to come back here again!! read more

This is the best place ever! They have the best chicken kabobs I've ever tasted, and the vibe of this place feels really calm!! They have really good rice, that comes with the kabob, too!

I originally placed a catering order with the manager of the restaurant for an iftar. We agreed on a menu of lamb shank tajine, chicken tajine, and rice, and we agreed on a price of $4500, which was paid in full the day before the Iftar. The morning of the Iftar, I was contacted by the owner of the restaurant demanding more money or else they would cancel our order. I told him that I made the order with the manager and that we already paid, so why was there a problem? He said "oh that guy doesn't really work for us, he just helps us out sometimes." The owner stated that we need to pay an extra $1500 and would cut our order in half! I tried contacting the manager to understand why this was happening, but he blocked my number! The owner and I finally agreed on a menu of 45 trays of lamb tajine and 45 trays of rice to keep the price at $4500. We also agreed that each tray would feed 8 people each (see screenshots below). When they delivered the food (over half an hour late), we were shocked to see just how little food they put in each tray. The pictures show how the trays looked immediately after opening them, before anyone had a chance to eat from them. Every tray was like this, and they didn't even provide 45 trays. I contacted the owner and he said each tray would feed "UP TO 8 people". I asked the owner for a partial refund, and he refused. You can see in the text conversation that it specifically says "each tray will feed 8 people" and he responds with "order confirmed". These people are scammers, and they scam their own people in the holiest month of the Islamic calendar. Imagine how they treat others the rest of the year. And the food wasn't even good, I don't think they used any salt or spices. read more

Loved the food! Very tasty! A little disappointed that items that were requested were finished for the day.

Such a great place to come, a very homey feel. They were able to accommodate a group of 12 and made us feel very heard. The must try is the mezze. All of the dips are incredible and the pita bread was outstanding. You're going to need more pita bread, so ask for more. The main dishes were even better. We got the chicken kebabs, the lamb tajine, and chicken tajine. All were absolutely incredible. Save room for the dessert, the baklava is something I'll go back for. They treat you like your family. It's ran by a mom, who cooks, dad, three sons, and two daughters. Open very late hours. Definitely recommend you give them a try! read more

I would have given this place 5 star if not for the tiny portion sizes. Food was tasty, the place is cozy and not presumptuous at all. The service is very good. Four of us went in for an early dinner before a show. So before the crowd started to pour in, we got special attention! Another call-out is how well the food is presented. 'You eat with your eyes first' -- they address this very well. This place is BYOB. Between good friends and delicious food, we didn't realize how we breezed through 2 bottles of wine! Only request to the owners, please address the portion size.

Moroccan food! I have been craving it! Chicken tajine, mezze & mint tea specifically! I made reservations here for a late lunch and we were the only table.

The food was delivered hot and looked and tasted divine. The tea was so flavorful and aromatic! And our waiter made it into such a charming presentation. They put on Moroccan music and it really enhanced the ambience. At night I noticed when I strolled by it gets pretty busy & The weather was fantastic so the outside seats were completely booked.

One of the most authentic Moroccan places that I have been to in the US. Though the interiors do not look very polished, the food was really amazing. All items were freshly made and so the chef her own sweet time. The couscous was cooked to perfection and the taste were pretty on point. If you are used to eating very spicy food, I suggest you lower your spice levels for a week before you try this place. In order to appreciate the mild amazing flavour of the Morro on cuisine, you need to cleanse your palette first! Special mention to the in-house made sauces and falafel! read more

The food is amazing here. Two of us shared the mezze platter for two plus the chicken Tajine. I could have licked my plates clean on all the items in the mezze platter. The bread it comes with is also amazing. The Tajine was super flavorful and the bread it came with was interesting! We had leftovers - not a lot, but definitely some. I think it's a tad pricey but it's very, very good! I think it's the best hummus I have had in a long time. The ambience is nice inside. Outside I thought the music was a tad loud. But would still sit outside. The person who took our order and served us - maybe the owner? - was really sweet and clearly proud of his cooking!

Reservations with friends based on the strength of a Facebook group post. Did not disappoint! Arrived for our 5:30 reservation to an empty restaurant- which lasted all of 15 min. By 6 the place was full and a line outside. Owner greeted us and guided our choices. What I really liked was that he basically downsized our order - making sure we didn't over order. Ordered mezze for 4- nope, 3 was the right number to leave room. How many tajines? 2 enough - order more i if necessary. Needless to say he was spot on. Allowed room for some truly outstanding baklava for dessert, Every dish was outstanding - we reveled in each dish. Flavor, portions and presentation were top Notch. It was clear these dishes were prepared to order. The only reason this isn't a five star is that the servers were a bit inexperienced ( obviously family members), but great attitude and friendly. BYOB. $40pp all in. Given its popularity, I suspect they'll need a bigger space at some point- limited seating. We will return- next time I want to try the pizza which apparently is equally excellent. Can't go wrong here... read more
