Our evening at Epices was a step into North Africa--a visit to Tunisia. Food was super. The lamb dishes were wonderful and the vegetables super. Go there!! Pros: food, cozy, good value more

Though the seating in here is a tad cramped, the service was excellent and the food was well-worth the visit. The lamb tagine is superb. Pros: great food, attentive service, good pre-theater more

We wondered in the other night out of curiosity and found a very cosy, warm little restaurant with a great waiter, great wine, and satisfying food. Pros: friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, soothing food Cons: a little crowded more

One of the best restaurants in NYC -- great Moraccan cuisine, prompt, efficient, attentive service, not too pricey --- it doesn't get any better than this! Pros: B'Stilla more

Epices is great. We discovered it about three years ago and have been there about eight times. I've been as a twosome with my b/f and with a party of 5-6 people, sometimes pre-opera, sometimes mid- to late-evening. The staff are always very friendly and helpful (ignore the idiot who gave the bad review below), the owner is great, and the food is freah and interesting. It's not spectacular cuisine, but it's interesting and always enjoyable, and the price is great. The patrons are generally mature and quiet (no screaming yuppies and cell phones) when I've been there. Epices is very much a neighborhood restaurant, although I don't live on the UWS. Hopefully, not too many people will discover it so that it will still be possible to easily get a table with no reservation. more
