Abou Tayssir

“A must visit in Tangier! The owner is amazing, my experience was exceptional. Food suggestions, taking into account I am a vegetarian, food to try on the house. I went twice and both nights I stayed for hours exchanging stories and poems. Cannot recommend enough. Also the food was excellent, cheap, large and delicious!”

“tasty syrian food, exceptionally tasty falafels - i like them crispy, with the right taste of lentils and salt (ordered a second serving). other than that we needed vegetarian food, so we had baba ganoush, and a savoury pastry for starter, and lentil soup. everything was delicious.”

“One of the best restaurants in Tangier! The food was delicious and the quality of every dish was outstanding. The service was very friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The hummus was incredibly tasty, the shawarma was perfectly prepared, and above all, the kibbeh was absolutely unbelievable—without a doubt some of the best I have ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with great care. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Syrian cuisine in Tangier.”

“The food was awesome, specifically the Mendy rice. I can totally recommend that. We also had the grilled kefta and that was also good. It was one of the best meals we had in Tanger and something which didn't break the bank as well.”

“Fantastic atmosphere, Mr. Tayssir (if it is him, the old Syrian guy sitting there at lunchtime) was a fantastic host, he made us feel at home. Food tastes homemade with love, fantastic shawarma, the soup with little fried pita was excellent, and the Knafe was clearly just made fresh for the day with a much more interesting and deeply flavored cheese than others we have had in other countries. Thank you very much!”

“The food here is extraordinary, and the moment it arrives at the table you can tell it’s made with care. The flavors are rich and authentic, with perfectly balanced spices that make every dish feel comforting yet exciting. Portions are balanced and everything tastes fresh, everything is prepared just moments before serving.”
