Tajine: A Moroccan Dining Experience

Tajine is a Moroccan Tapas & Cocktail Bar in Singapore, offering a delightful, flavourful, and playful dining experience. It’s a celebration of life, about meeting, sharing, and laughing around a table. From small dishes to big plates, it’s all about sharing a colourful moment of life. Tajine uses an amazing mix of spices from the Northern African and Mediterranean region. Celebrating the Moroccan culture also means that we bring traditional, classic, and festive dishes within our menu offering. Explore the wide array of vegetable dishes and common meats, mainly beef and lamb, within the cuisine, along with chicken and seafood. You will find classic key ingredients like preserved lemons, argan oil, olive oil, and dried fruits as the base flavours of the dishes. Here at Tajine, lemon peels are preserved and spice blends are mixed to create the perfectly balanced flavour. Taste the flavours of starch staples like wood-fired Batbout Bread, Semolina couscous, and classic pastry pie Pastillas.

Traditional Moroccan Cuisine

Tajines are the staple of the cuisine, named after the traditional earthenware within which meat or fish is slow-cooked. Friday couscous is a tradition among Moroccans as a day of sharing, so Tajine dishes a beautiful mound of fluffy hand-rolled semolina with house-made bone broth poured over piles of royal meat cuts every day. The Méchoui is definitely not to be missed in all Moroccan festivities. A whole piece of lamb shoulder is slow-cooked for a long time with Ras El Hanout to absolute tenderness and served over a huge pile of Basmati Rice Pilaf and Dried Fruits. It is a dish that is worth sharing and enjoying, even just to celebrate the lengths and efforts taken for its long preparation.

Ambiance and Flavors

The interior showcases the gentle slopes of a temple’s silhouette that design the wall and shape the wine display, emanating a warm, inviting glow from its contours and background. The dim lighting balances out natural light from the adjacent full-length windows, capturing the essence of Morocco’s interior yet open-air living spaces while incorporating the ethnic comforts of Marrakesh, Morocco. Every dish here bursts with flavour thanks to Mediterranean and African influences. They included a lot of different spices in their cocktails too, from Ras al Hanout, Sumac, Cardamom and more, so it’s quite an interesting variety of flavours that you won’t quite get anywhere else. Riz au lait dessert also hits the spot, a creamy rice pudding that’s not too sweet with just enough bite in the tender rice grains. Just like the kitchens in Morocco, Tajine does not handle pork or lard within the restaurant premises.
