Many Moroccan restaurants play into the cliche with low tables and amateurish belly dancing, but Aziza has a sophisticated approach: Diners can choose a Western-style table, often tucked back into a romantic cubbyhole, or one of the more traditional dining rooms. Chef-owner Mourad Lahlou modernizes his native Moroccan cuisine, giving even the long-cooked dishes a fresh and organic perspective. Diners can order a la carte, although the five-course tasting menu is the best deal and shows off Lahlou's culinary talents.
In addition to being known for their authentic food, Aziza is also quickly gaining a following for their specialty cocktails,including the fleur de sel rimmed Almond Margarita, Balsamic Morocco Mary, and Cucumber Fresca Martini.
Trendy urbanites crowd this sexy restaurant and lounge. The room is dressed with overstuffed leather furniture, mahogany tables, amber lighting, and a ever-changing gallery of local creating an intimate setting despite the lounge’s size. Delicious cocktails like the Fresa (house-made berry infused vodka and fresh strawberries) or the Melon (rum with fresh honeydew) delight the senses. The fare is equally outstanding featuring a fusion of Nuevo Latino, Asian, and French cuisine. International DJs spin global music nightly. As it Midnight Nears, food service stops and the lounge takes on a clubbier vibe.
During the day, patrons get their caffeine fix from fresh coffee roasted in-house daily. Once night falls, the establishment changes into an intimate lounge complete with custom lighting, film screenings and a nine-foot-wide fireplace for cozying up with a cocktail or glass of wine.
Luxe-leather lounge areas offer the perfect space to share a namesake "Decadent Dessert" such as chocolate espresso cake or rhubarb truffle. Don't miss the Espresso Butterscotch Martini, a blend of Stoli Vanilla, Kahlua and butterscotch liqueur.
