What to Eat at Tajin & Tanjiah Moroccan Coffee Shop & Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Tajin & Tanjiah Moroccan Coffee Shop & Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Tajin & Tanjiah Moroccan Coffee Shop & Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Ask about the wait before ordering; one diner said the food took more than an hour to arrive.
Check extras. Before accepting dessert or tea at the end, confirm whether they are complimentary or separately charged.
Verify breakfast. If you see the 5-dirham breakfast sign, ask when the offer applies and confirm the current price first.
Order carefully. Portions can be very large, so start cautiously when ordering for a group or trying several dishes.
Plan parking. Drivers can look for parking nearby, as one customer specifically reported it was available.

Common Concerns
Slow service
One recent visit reported waiting more than an hour for food despite the restaurant being nearly empty.
Inconsistent food
Reviews vary sharply, with complaints about tasteless couscous, dry breakfast items and food described as old or reheated.
Small portions
Some diners felt portions were too small, including a shrimp dish reported to contain only four or five shrimp.
Unexpected charges
A diner was charged separately for a small dessert and tea after the main course, despite finding the rates unreasonable.
Breakfast confusion
The advertised 5-dirham breakfast was reported to apply only during a limited daytime window; the stated price was otherwise 42 dirhams.
Customer-reported prices

The Bottom Line
Tajin & Tanjiah is a Moroccan restaurant and coffee shop in Hor Al Anz, with a setting built around Moroccan heritage. You can come for dishes such as tajine, tanjia, couscous and chicken tifaya, or make the visit mainly about Moroccan tea. Reviews also mention traditional cookware, Moroccan music and outdoor seating, so the atmosphere is a major part of the appeal.
The strongest reports describe rich, authentic food and generous portions. One customer called the couscous perfect, while others enjoyed tajine jelbana, tanjia, Moroccan salads and chicken tifaya. The rose-water hand-cleansing detail after a meal is a memorable extra, and nearby parking is useful for drivers.
There is a real consistency warning. Other diners reported tasteless couscous, dry msemen and harsah, poor harira, small portions, or food that seemed reheated. A recent visit also described an over-one-hour wait and an unclean table, so it is sensible to check the expected wait before ordering.
Prices and promotions deserve a quick confirmation. One review says breakfast was advertised at 5 dirhams but cost 42 dirhams outside the offer window; another reported 60 AED for a small dessert and 40 AED for tea. Ask about extras before they arrive.
