I live in the neighborhood and have been here half a dozen times, even delivery once or twice. The food is really incredible. I love the hummus and the vegetable cigar appetizers. I always get the Maison CousCous vegetarian because I love it. But my boyfriend, and our friends have tried other entrees and tagines and no one has been disappointed yet. I have never gotten around to dessert because we have always been too full by that time, but the sweet mint tea is perfect after a filling meal.
The service is interesting to say the least. Sometimes overly chatty, sometimes a little pushy but always competent. One time he was pushing a wine on us that we clearly didn't want when we had brought our own (the restaurant was originally BYOB). Another time my friend had been very clear about preferring chicken and got lamb instead. I think this was intentional because the waiter seemed to be pushing the lamb. I would have sent it back, but my friend didn't and he did enjoy it.
The atmosphere is nice, cozy and authentic feeling. It's a small place, and it is decorated simply but nicely.
Overall I highly reccomend checking this place out, it's worth the trip to BayRidge!
