  • New Moroccan restaurant on Bernard, replacing a Greek place. Food cart wheeled around with tasty, reasonably priced ($3) appetizers like spiced chickpeas and a smoky tomato-based dip. Unremarkable but plentiful enough bread to soak up the sauces. For the main course, our party had a selection of their tajines, and all were tasty and satisfying. Well-spiced, ethereal meatballs with smoky bits of zucchini; a bright dish of olives, preserved lemon, and chicken; creamy white beans and tender merguez. Welcoming staff. There are some kinks in the execution here: although there were no other customers in the restaurant, the kitchen forgot one of our main courses and we waited about ten minutes for it to arrive. (Luckily the food-less companion wasn't ravenous and we fed him forkfuls in the meantime.) More importantly, tajines evoke for me a hot, bubbly stew and a cloud of steam when the top is lifted off -- food that comes hot and stays warm, kind of like Korean rice dishes like bibimbap in a scalding stone bowl. Here, while each tajine main course indeed came in a one-person size tajine dish, the tajines themselves were just for show. The food had been cooked in other vessels and then served in the (cold) tajines, which then functioned as giant heat sinks in just the way you don't want: instead of keeping the food warm on the table, they sucked the heat out. Some of our food was hot enough to counteract this, but other dishes arrived (barely) lukewarm and got cold fast. Portion sizes were adequate but not generous, but this was acceptable enough given the reasonable prices. Attractive, tasteful blue and white decor. The price is right for Izza's to become a fixture on Bernard, assuming the kinks get ironed out, on a strip that has seen a lot of turnover in the last five years. The cocktail menu is especially tempting -- think mint-tea mojitos and orange blossom old fashioneds.
