   I went out for dinner with mom on a Friday night. It was very quiet, very cozy, the lights were dimmed. The staff is very nice. For appetizer we had the falafels. No exaggeration when I say these were the best falafels I’ve had. They were so crispy so fresh, so green, it came with a couple of pieces of Pita? And the presentation was great. For my main, I got the chicken Tajine per their recommendation and it was very tender and good portions. The Baklava was very good (had a slight hint of cinnamon) Would overall come back.

   Excellent experience at White House Tagine. The restaurant has an intimate setting that transports you from the bustle of Bryn Mawr into another world. The service was upbeat and friendly, with many recommendations coming from the server and chef. We enjoyed the Mezze, falafel, couscous and fattoush salad. Highly recommend!

   3rd time at this restaurant and we've tried many of the dishes on an excellent menu. A key thing to remember is that the owner will make small changes to menu items to reflect dietary needs and guest wants.

   Neighborhood gem! Features a range of Mediterranean flavors. We enjoyed lamb tajine, chicken couscous, and the mezze. Cozy dining room was full and lively. BYOB, so plan ahead.

   Great place - character and great food. World’s best baklava - or so the owner tells me.

   Dining here was a blast. The owner and staff are extraordinarily engaging, warm, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious...fresh and creative. The portions are smaller than average for American standards and the dining space is small.. A true gem!!! We will be back.

    While looking for a celebratory restaurant to celebrate 2 birthdays, I came across White House Tajine. I made the reservation and then read several reviews where couples were turned away on Valentine's Day even with reservations, so I called to triple check we were on the list and remind them in person we were celebrating 2 birthdays. When we got to the restaurant, we walked into the main dining room but were ushered upstairs. In that small dining room, the walls are draped in fabric with the decor seeming to be a little tired. We started with a small mezze which was an okay size for four although we could have used more pita bread. The 5 dishes in the mezze were a good variety, and I especially enjoyed the baba ghanoush. My husband had the Kefta Tagine which he said was good although a little under seasoned. I liked the Chicken Tagine as it came out hot and juicy although it too could have used more seasoning. One of our friends was not happy with his chicken cous cous while his wife had the lamb kabob. She said it was good although dry. Because we were upstairs, the servers had to constantly run up and down the stairs, so they kept opening the front door. As our table was right next to the stairs, throughout the meal I kept jumping up from my seat to dash down the stairs in order to close the door since they kept leaving it open. No one seemed to care the cold air was blowing in through the open front door, and I kept having to ask the servers to please close the door. It also took a long time to get our entrees, and people who were seated after us appeared to get theirs well before us. At the end of the meal, there was not one acknowledgment for the real reason we were there--to celebrate 2 birthdays. Overall, interesting food and a money-saving BYOB, but just an okay experience.
