Fiona Chandra Review of Tangierno/Koullshi Lounge
I think the food here is pretty good, but it's rat...
I think the food here is pretty good, but it's rather overpriced. First off, the restaurant decor is kitschy with all the Moroccan furnitures, curtained booths, and belly dancers (yes, they have a belly dancer). People kept telling me the cocktails here are amazing, and honestly, they're ok. They're pretty easy to drink, but nothing too special. For $13 a cocktail I'd rather drink at Drink or The Hawthorne. The food menu is divided into traditional Moroccan and "modern" (think tuna tartar, steak, etc). I had the seared foie gras which was quite good and not too expensive compared to other foie gras dishes aroudn town ($19). Then I had a dish with lamb shank and couscous. It was good, the lamb was pretty tender, but it wasn't the best I've ever had and while the portion was pretty big, the price was a bit steep. I think overall it's a fun place with good food, a good place to come and have fun with friends. I'm just picky about dining out, though, and if I'm spending $70+ on dinner and one drink, I feel like I could do better.
