Merguez

I’m leaving 5 stars because I’m not the type that wants you to go out of business, however I have to be honest. The chicken tajine was embarrassing. I don’t know who cooks the food but this tastes nothing like Moroccan tajine and whatever it is doesn’t taste good. It’s sad because people will actually think this is what Moroccan food tastes like it and it’s far from it.

I recently dined at Merguez Restaurant and tried their merguez sandwich with fries. The meal was satisfying, with a decent serving of flavorful meat that felt reminiscent of a comforting homemade dish. Although I had anticipated a smoky grilled flavor, the preparation leaned more towards a hearty home-cooked style. The fries were delightful, and the portion size was commendable for the price point. My only qualm was the apparent shortage of staff, as a lone worker managed both the front and back, resulting in a longer wait time for the food to arrive. Despite this, Merguez Restaurant's tasty offerings make it a spot worth considering for a fulfilling Moroccan meal.

The food tasted delicious and the presentation was lovely! But when we paid for the food, we selected "no tip" on the tablet. The cashier stretched his neck around to see what we selected and pointed out that we had pressed "no tip". This was counter service, so a tip should not be mandatory. He then commented that he brings the food to the table, but a service-based tip should be given after service. It was an unprofessional interaction that left a bad taste on what was otherwise a tasty meal.
