| - This place gets a very solid and deserved 5 stars from me.
Taza is a middle eastern restaurant on W6th, that frankly didn't look all that impressive from the outside. However, once you stepped in, all those perceptions changed immediately. The interiors are plush and luxurious, with paneled walls and ceilings, and beautiful chandeliers. We went mid-week for dinner, and they had a live pianist playing a mix of bossa-nova jazz and classic tunes. Looking at this place I thought "oh well, it's not every day that I splurge on a meal, so why not".
And then I saw the menu - $14.95 for a vege sampler? That can't be right. Must be small. So I ordered one all for myself.
While waiting for the sampler, we were served the standard pitas (which were nice and warm) along with 2 other types of middle eastern bread (I loved the fluffy one) along with oil as well as a black sesame dip with sumac, which was mind-blowingly delicious!
And then we were served the labneh and the vege platter - and let me tell you, it was frigging huge! 4 falafels, hummus, baba, and a mountain of tabbouleh. And those falafels... Mmmmm... my mouth waters as I type!
And the service matched the food and the ambience. Quick, knowledgable, helpful and unintrusive service. We ate in peace. When we wanted to order something, there was someone magically by our table almost instantaneously. Water glasses never ran empty. It was beautiful.
In all seriousness - go here. You will not regret it.
