Tangierino

Came back from Morocco and was craving for tagine. Was told that this is the to go place in Boston. Maybe a decade ago because I was disappointed. I made a reservation for Sat at 6:30pm and we were the only diners. That was probably a red flag. Hostess/server was super nice and attentive to us throughout dinner.

The tagine dishes came out quickly (another red flag). Usually you bake everything in the oven but the plates were cold. I honestly think they cooked everything on stove top. Tagines can take up to 25 mins to bake.

Harira was missing the fragrant tomato broth. The only legume I saw were lentils. Tasteless overall

Salmon was not over cooked thankfully. The apricot added a sweet texture. Italian canned olives were used instead.

Super pricey and not worth it.

What a joke this place is. Management or whatever they call themselves is a hot mess. This woman yelled at us along with some little guy who pretended to be manager or whatever he was. Despicable service. No customer service skills whatsoever.
We got dirty glasses, hookah didn't work and we got an attitude from everyone for no reason. Definitely not coming back to this place ever again. Avoid this place by all means and spend your money elsewhere

This is the ultimate cigar bar.

They also have hookah.

They have quite the menu so go hungry bring your cigar I Purchased one in there huge walk-in humidor with a fabulous selection of imported cigars.

The liquor selection is awesome I'm tequila drinker and I sip only good tequila and I had choices this was a welcomed pleasure.

The staff is amazing polite respectful assertive willing to help.

The space is absolutely amazing so amazing I can't even describe it check out the photographs extra cool.

Gather your friends and head right over to Tanierino and don't worry about parking they valet.

I Give Tangierino a Solid 5 Stars.

Came here with a Moroccan friend for his birthday dinner and while I liked it, he said it wasn't very authentic as it was focused on meats and what he likes most is the variety of vegetables that are usually offered. My fist time eating out of a tajine, which was still cool.

The sprits list is huge, so come with a friend who knows what they're talking about (cough me cough) or don't be afraid to ask!

Unique place, but something was up with the service. We got seated and our server took the order quick, but both drinks and food took a long while to come out.

The place itself is beautiful! The decor is so rich and fun, and it seems authentic.

Drinks were good--my Moroccan Mojito was delicious but tasted more like juice than alcohol. The server kindly added a shot for me . For whiskey drinkers--Old Fashioned was pretty good!

Food was alright, but didn't blow me away. The calamari ras hanout sounded amazing but wasnt crispy like I like my fried calamari, it had a soggy texture. The harissa aioli was really yum though.

The kebab pasta was good! The chicken was very flavorful, and the pasta had vodka sauce on it. I was expecting moroccan flavor in the pasta, but it was just regular vodka sauce. Not bad but not what you would expect here.

The grilled mixed kebab was very good too! Got chicken and lamb and they were both tasty. It came with veggies, salad, rice and 2 dips. We got tzatziki and spicy feta.

Overall would come back for the atmosphere, but not dying to have the food again.

Had a work event here one night (and by event, A bunch of us went to Hookah)

The place is great, quaint, Super Comfy AND you can still smoke cigarettes because they are grandfathered in from some old law. Waitress was great, she was patient with several of the NON smokers who had no knowledge of how to do.

She turned us on to milk & OMG it was awesome, I have always only had Water & adding Milk made it SOOOOOOO good... Hang out all night & then grabbed some food, drinks were flowing.

We might have refilled the 3-4 hookahs we had like 5 times, it was a long night & it was a great time.

Def plan to go back with the hubby for a smaller more quaint get away with friends.

Food is amazing. Great flavor and presentation. Apps are small but delicious. Dinners are good size, I had plenty to take home for lunch tomorrow! For apps the short ribs are tender, moist and figs are sweet addition! Shrimp app has garlic sauce that was so good used it on calamari. It could have come with some bread to dip in that sauce!!! Calamari is crispy but nothing to write home about.

For meal the eggplant tower was filling and worth a try!! Might be one of the best eggplant dishes I've had in a while!
Tangeri Couscous (short ribs) 2nd time we order last time it had more flavor but still good!
Lamb chop with eggplant tower was good but portion was smaller.
Lava cake and a Creme are small and basic staples.

This was my second visit. Food was better the first but the service was much better on the second. Don't get me wrong the food was still great on our second trip.

Been celebrating Princess William's birthday all week. With his friends. With my friends. Thought it'll be cool to take him out alone. Drove and picked him up from work. Doing the most. Arrived to the restaurant, no street parking. Well, there are a few. Taken, of course. Found out they have valet parking for $17. Okay, fine.

Greeted by the manager. He seemed very nice. Princess happened to go to the bathroom and I took the perfect opportunity to tell the manager we are here to celebrate his birthday. Say no more, he said.

I have to say I was very impressed with this place. The place has a great vibe and very cool decorations. Service was warm and professional and they seemed genuinely amped that we were happy.

First time trying Morrocan food and everything we ordered were absolutely wonderful. Rack of ribs. Duck boobies. Yums. Ordered their special drink of the night, strawberry basil cosmo. So good! Told the bartender to surprise me with another drink the moment I finished. He came back with the sparkling mai tai. Also very good. If I didn't have to drive, I'll definitely drink everything on their menu. Nice touch on the dessert surprise! Thank you!!

Oh that belly dancer, pretty as hell! It was very sweet of her to come over to our table and wish William a happy birthday and even offered to take pics for us. Happy to come back anytime! Definitely will try their hookah lounge next time. :D

Hadn't been here in a while so we opted to go for the full dining experience upstairs, complete with their popular belly dancing entertainment. The ambiance here is otherworldly. Or at least "from another part of the world-ly" :D

Setting is dimly lit, sultry and romantic with long draped maroon red curtains and large intricately adorned pillows resting in wide cozy semi-circular booths all across their dining room. As soon as we were seated, we knew we were in for a relaxing journey. Dinner service continued throughout at a nice comfortable pace matching the carefree vibe of the belly dancer who danced around the tables in between our courses.

For starters, we decided on the 4 Layer Tuna Tartare and Shrimp Tagine. Both were quite appetizing and the tuna was prepared with a nice fruity twist as it had a decent mix of mango. Shrimp was nicely grilled and seasoned.

For our mains, we went with the Tagine Eggplant Tower and the Sultan's Kadra. Both were delicious and prepared with a healthy amount of figs and eggplant. Love figs and eggplant! For those that aren't familiar with this cuisine, the best I can describe the Eggplant Tower is that it's similar to an eggplant parm where they stack the eggplant and cheese to melt it together but it's with figs as opposed to tomato sauce and cooked in a tagine. Hearty but so good! The Sultan's Kadra equally deserves praise as well. Lamb chop lovers must take notice. This dish was cooked to perfection. And don't let me forget to tell you about the ginormous portions. We were so full we couldn't move after.

Highly highly recommend this place if you like hearing any of these words: Thematic, eclectic, romantic, sexy, figs, eggplant, belly dancers, hookah, private, unique, date night, mysterious, exotic, seductive.

Need i say more?

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. They took my reservation over the phone than told me when I got there that they don't accept reservations and turned my party of 12 away.

They also recently implemented a dress code but did not tell me over the phone or post it on the website -- again turning my party of 12 away.

Horrible management, horrible customer service. I will never attempt to go here ever again.

The response I got when I asked for an exception-
"you can write an email to the owner tomorrow"
