Hands down, the most savory and delicious Mrouzia and tender lamb. The service was excellent as well. Highly Recommend!

Pita bread was not made fresh and prices are too high, they need to take about $5 off of every entree. Lamb dishes were cooked well. The tagine dishes should include more rice.

Small portions, food is not worth the price.

We tried Morrocan plates- chicken dishes with golden and apricot sauces. I do not recommend them. The chicken was dry, chunky and only seasoned on the surface. So it was difficult to finish without any other sauce provided. Other than that, the service/ atmosphere were fine.

P Alright, gather 'round, folks, because I've found a place that's practically a portal to another culinary dimension. My last visit there was nothing short of a revelation. The food? Oh. My. Gosh. It's not just good; it's mind-blowingly amazing and unlike anything else you'll find in the area. You can taste the high quality, the love, and the sheer effort poured into every single dish. Seriously, it's like tiny edible works of art. And the service? Top-notch. They're like ninjas of hospitality – attentive without being intrusive. Plus, I remember a glorious Thursday special with buy one get one. I'm crossing my fingers it's still valid, because a deal like that on food this good is practically a public service. Now, let's talk about the ambiance. stepping in feels like you've been whisked away to a vibrant marketplace. The Moroccan design is absolutely stunning. It's so pretty, you'll probably spend half your meal just admiring the intricate details. So, if you're looking for an incredible meal in a beautiful setting, stop reading this and go. Now!

I got a gift certificate through the WTEN be our guest program. My boyfriend and I went to this location because we live in Troy. The restaurant is small and intimate and well decorated. The staff was very kind and accommodating and asked us if we had any questions about the menu. They told us most of the dishes that we picked were very popular across all three restaurants. The food was well seasoned and very flavorful. We shared an order of the Moroccan cigars, while my boyfriend got the lamb pepper fry and I got the hyderabadi wedding chicken. A nice gentleman ended up paying for our dessert, we chose baklava, our favorite. Would definitely come back sometime, especially with the restaurant so close !

Food was mediocre, lamb dish was small for $30. Pita bread was partially burnt black. The assosted dip plate was microwaved hot. The restaurant was mostly empty, just us and another couple, however we weren't allowed to sit at a larger table. The 2 servers seemed confused about my order and what to serve. One server was filling up the teapot with tea to fill individual cups then pouring the remaining tea back into the central carafe, unhygienic. Sticky tables, dirty bathroom, poor service. The leader was working on her laptop in the main dining area. I was really looking forward to this meal from all the local hype and gravely disappointed.
The flavors and aromas of the dishes at Tara's Kitchen are intoxicating. The food is authentic, with incredible flavor combinations and a diverse menu! My favorite entrée has to be the tagines—stews cooked in traditional pots. The lamb tagine with chickpeas, parsley chermoula, and tomato jam is a must-try, along with the lamb tagine with vegetables in spicy date sauce. Their lamb is always so juicy and tender that it literally melts in my mouth (low-key drooling right now). The portion sizes are perfect, and I love their pita bread—so soft and warm. It’s wonderful that they have a dedicated "Vegetable" section for vegetarians, which made it so convenient when deciding where to take my aunt for dinner.
The appetizers were very good too; we had a sampler of all three dips, Moroccan cigars, and potato patties. I also appreciate that the food comes out steaming hot, and you can see them making it fresh in the kitchen. The baklava was also fantastic.
Everything about the ambience feels so Moroccan, from the music and paintings to the cutlery and placemats. The staff were nice, serving food quickly and answering any questions we had. However, on one visit, one of the staff members was very sick and coughing a lot, which made me a bit nervous, especially with a little baby with us. I hope the restaurant can be more mindful of that in the future.
I also wish they had their Moroccan wines in stock; every time we've been, they never seem to have it.
Tara's Kitchen is a wonderful spot that captures the essence of Moroccan cuisine. I’m looking forward to returning and trying more of their delicious dishes!

Moroccan cigars and tagine chicken with tomato jam, harissa, figs & almonds were big winners. Note the warm fig salad has green olives that the menu doesn't mention
