Review of Tangierno/Koullshi Lounge

Our first experience at Tangierino was fantastic. Recently renovated, the restaurant feels romantic, warm and, without trying sound hyperbolic, sexy. The staff were very welcoming, and absolutely made us feel very special. I can't say enough about the hospitality we received.

The menu presents an array of Morrocan dishes, and the cocktails and wine selection is lovely. I enjoyed the Morrocan mojito (loved it) and mango-infused margarita. For starter we had the hummas plate served with warm pita bread, which was very nice.

We ordered to main dishes and shared them, a good choice for sure. Our server selected a perfect red wine and delivered a perfect pairing for our main course. The first main course was lamb royal over a bed of seasoned chickpeas and couscous with rich carrots and potatoes with a subtle sweetness. It was wonderful, and I will be dreaming about it for days.

We also enjoyed a lovely short rib dish also served with couscous. The best was the tender meat sweetened subtlety with a dried plum or raisin of some kind. It was tender and... I couldn't stop eating it.

We finished the evening in the lounge downstairs - hookah cave. Loved it. Atmosphere was beautiful, cocktails on point. It was a very nice conclusion to our evening.
