Downstairs at Tagine is located at 537 9th avenue between 39th & 40th near Port Authority. The place has a comfortably Moroocan feel, starts the evening off as a Moroccan restaurant and ending up a place where you get the munchies because the kitchen closed at midnight and it's like 4am. Just be sure to go downstairs because upstairs there's a big Moroccan party.
Subways: Take A,C,E,1,9,N,R,7 to Port Authority and walk!
TAGINE is a smoke free environment - respect our hosts. Anyone caught smoking up will go join Tommy.
