If i didn't like Marrakesh.....

[mhelsley]

should i even be thinking of tring Tangierine Cafe? I found the food to be very bland but the mint tea was good. Does anyone that's tried both prefer the Cafe?

You should give it a try. We though Marrakesh was OK but we loved the cafe. The schwarma platters are excellent!

 

[mrzrich]

Yes! We didn't care at all for Marrakesh and TC is our favorite place to eat is WS

Tangierine Cafe, unfortunately, does not have the mint tea. If you like gyros, it's great; if not, pass.

We ate there for the first time last Dec and it is now our favorite place! I did not like the menu at the Morocco TS but the CS was very different. Loved the meatball plate and the rotisserie chicken plate with the olive salad, YUMMO!!

I like both places, but Tangierine is a must do every trip while Marrakesh is not. My favorite at Tangierine is the vegetarian platter. Can't have a trip without it.

OK OK i'll give it a try on my solo trip in March. DH still won't go for it so no go in Dec. Thanks for the help so what would you order here?

Try it. DD and I lobe Tangierine cafe but HATED Marakesh which was easily the worst meal I have ever had anywhere when we dined there on Easter. The Tangerine has a sampler platter that is very good,chicken is good,desserts yummy too.

i got the chicken shwarma platter at Tangierine, my husband got the lamb and chicken combo. the chicken was good, but the lamb was REALLY good (and i'm not a big meat eater). the only thing i didn't like was the roll that came with it (tasted stale), but i have since read on here of people asking for pita bread and getting it.

haven't eaten at Marrakesh, so I can't compare it, but we do really like Middle Eastern food, so this wasn't our first experience with it, and it compared favorably with most places i've been to except for one restaurant in Tallahassee FL that has since gone out of business

I ate at Tangierine Cafe and loved it, so that prompted me to try Marrakesh. I found it to be so-so.

Funny you ask this. A couple of months ago we ate at Marakesh and I also thought the food was bland, so will not being hurrying back. Over labor day weekend we at at Tangerine and thought the food was great and would eat there again. So I would say I prefer the Cafe.

Just my opinion here. I didn't like marrakesh years ago, and I didn't like tangerine cafe last June.

Another vote for Tangeriene Cafe over Marrakesh. The schwarma platters are wonderful there. You can also get baklava in their bakery area.

We ate at both of these restaurants during this last trip (9/8 to 9/13). We split a lamb and chicken shwarma platter because there was so much food. The salads and the hummus were marvelous. It was also the mildest lamb I have ever eaten.
I would say that the food there and at Marrakesh is not spicy--just differently spiced. My husband had the lamb shank and couscous. I h ad the Night at Casablanca. In order to get the full flavor of the dishes, you have to indulge in the sauces that are pooled under the meats. Again, we had the nicest lamb. I asked the server where the lamb came from, and he said that they get it from Australia.
We did the Combination Apetizer for Two which included Jasmina Salad (watch out for the spinach!), Beef Brewat Rolls, and Chicken Bastilla. We had the pastries for dessert.
It was an enjoyable meal, but you have to be a fan of Middle Eastern cuisine. Not everyone likes the unusual use of cinnamon and cloves on a chicken dish.
And BTW, I saw several people get the mint tea at the Tangerine Cafe.

I wasn't impressed at all with TC. I could only eat one or two things on my platter. The spices, I guess, were foreign to me and I just didn't like it at all.
