“The wraps and falafels tasted great—thank you, chef! The food is definitely the highlight here, even if it is a little bit pricey. However, the atmosphere was pretty boring since there was no music playing, and the lady who took our order looked annoyed and not happy to be there. Come for the great food, but don't expect much of an experience.“

“Taktuka Moroccan Kitchen is a SEVEN star experience - not a five star experience. It is truly the definition of a small joint with BIG HEART.

Let me BEGIN with Khaled and Hamza. The most gracious and humble hosts - paying attention to every detail and stopping at nothing to bring whatever the customer wants to fruition. We don’t realize that the place closes at 8:00 pm, and just kept chomping and socializing - they never once pointed it out to us. I begin with them because they were the friendliest folks, and their service was truly remarkable.

Then comes the food - my goodness, the food. Let’s begin with the Harira. Perfectly seasoned, but for me, it requires a little more salt (which is personal preference) and a pop of acid like lemon to bring out its true flavor. Overall, a really comforting, rich soup without being heavy or cloying. Then came the Moroccan seasoned potatoes - oooooweeee! These were little nuggets of pure deliciousness. Seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside and every bite kept you wanting to go back for more. Then the lamb shank tagine - ummmm, excuse me?!?! What do you mean the meat is like butter? It literally falls off the bone and dissolves in your mouth. Rich, fatty, unctuous and truly a delight. The bed of couscous it came with was also great - made better by the sauce from the lamb shank. The highlight of this plate were the roasted prunes that are part of the sauce. Sweet, jammy prunes cooked into the sauce made them just truly a delightful mouthfeel in comparison to the couscous and the scrumptious meat.

To top it all off, the cherry on top, is their comforting Moroccan mint tea. So very fresh and the perfect end to an absolutely DELIGHTFUL meal. Highly recommended!!!“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“Delicious food. The restaurant is small but food is great.“

“Pita Zone did a great job provide food for our meeting tonight. everyone loved it. Thanks for doing it on short notice.“

“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“

“Stopped in for lunch today. The owner was very nice! Food was fresh and came out fairly quickly, everything was delicious. I will be back again soon to try out more of the menu!“

“Excellent in every way! Meatball appetizer was superb!! Carbonerra was authentically made. Friendly, efficient service. Don't forget the Gelato and bread pudding. We will return!“

“Can’t believe we didn’t know about this hidden gem. What an amazing experience it was to dine there! From service to food to ambiance, everything was perfect. We (includes 3 kiddos) enjoyed all of the items ordered and can’t wait to come back for more soon!“

“My son recommended your restaurant to me, so I drove an hour to check it out! The staff was very friendly and the food was SO good! I ordered more food to bring home to my husband. We will definitely be back.“

“I've had the best food since a very long time the shawarma and hummus are very delicious and the staff are welcoming specialy the owner is very chill guy and the plcae has a great vibes i think I'll have another visit in the future i remembered the old days back at my home town thank to everyone who's in charge of making this great place“

“The wife and I went back to the old neighborhood to visit somebody at the hospital driving around we found modern plate. We figure we’d give it a try. There is no doubt in my mind that this place eventually will be a five star restaurant. The food was phenomenal service atmosphere But I will tell you this much. Don’t go there with your good. Looks thinking you’re gonna buy something bring your cash, but it’s well worth it. The wife and I cannot wait to go back to try something else.“

“I love this place, it’s my favorite!“

“I came here first time, the meals were so good, I liked it.“

“Place is spacious, service was a little slow. Food could use some help. Octopus cooked very well but cold, pasta was Inedible, seafood pot was over cooked. Got the chocolate bar and tiramisu both very good.“

“They have really good food and the portions are worth the price!! Been there twice already.“

“Stopped here for breakfast, 1st time and I would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent and the food was great (real, fresh, hot, cooked to order)! I had the sampler with oatmeal pancakes and they were delicious!!! My other options included the chicken avocado crepe and Mediterranean omelette. The coffee was good, it came to the table in its own thermal to stay hot. I highly recommend!!“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you, Luis, for the excellent service. I wouldn’t recommend the tacos, but the pizza, burger, and salad we ordered were all very delicious.

There was just one issue — the host’s attitude. She initially tried to seat us with our children in a corner near the kitchen. We asked for a different table, but she insisted there was no other space for strollers. In the end, we found a suitable spot ourselves and were able to sit comfortably with our strollers.“

“Enough variety in the menu to keep things interesting. Everything I've ever eaten here has been excellent including some truly amazing soups. The staff is wonderful. What more could anyone want in a restaurant? I love this place!“

“wait time was very minimal. Many food options . Nice Social distance set up.“

“We built our own Mediterranean bowl, and I absolutely loved it! Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service was great.
The outdoor seating was a nice touch, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy dinner ☀🥗💚
One thing I'd definitely recommend is sharing a bowl because the portions are very generous. One bowl is easily enough for two people! 🥗✨“

“I have been going to Reza’s for the last three decades! 25 years ago Reza’s food was delicious and good service. The restaurant changed owners a few times resulting in lower food quality and service quality! About a year ago the existing owner and manager took over and streamlined the operations! Since the new management took over the food quality and service has greatly improved! They can do even better! The restaurant manager Wafa has done a great job setting up our party that we hosted recently!“

“I’ve been coming here since they opened about 20 years ago. The owner always greets the local customers and return customers like family. Their food is consistently good. I love this place and it’s a staple in the neighborhood“

“Nice, clean restaurant and was not too crowded for Sunday dinner except someone's party. Food was okay nothing exceptional that I was anticipating. I have had more tastier Nihari at Usmania, Sabri or Ali Nihari. BBQ was good but karahi needs more reasonable fixing. We liked the paratha poori, Naan and parathas were freshly made and hot to touch. Staff was polite and courteous.
The parking lot needs fixing. We used disability parking but the walkway was so rocky, uneven and so far from the entrance that my dad almost fell with his rollator. It definitely needs fixing before a lawsuit happens“

“Okay, this place was awesome. Not just for airport food, but just in general, the steak in my steak bowl was fresh, the guy behind the counter was super nice, and my fiancée's falafel bowl was great too! Honestly above all the good service won me over, the guy working at 1:20pm 1/16/2025 was 5 stars!“

“Hooray - Finally reopened to total YUM!“
