About the Restaurant

A Moroccan chef brings clay-pot cooking and hospitality to Taipei.

Tajin Moroccan Cuisine was founded in June 2011 by Moroccan owner-chef Hicham Samh and his wife, bringing authentic Moroccan dishes to Taiwan.

The restaurant uses natural ingredients, serves gentle and approachable flavors, and offers dishes that comply with halal certification. It is a table for first-time guests and long conversations alike.

In Moroccan Arabic, Tajin refers to the cone-lidded clay pot, and also to the dish cooked inside it. The conical lid circulates moisture in the pot, keeping vegetables sweet and meat tender.

The guest-favorite lamb shank turns soft enough to fall apart with a light cut. The Moroccan spiced beef ribs are slow-cooked with saffron, Moroccan butter, preserved lemon, cumin, and layered aromas.

Halal Certified

Ingredients and dishes follow halal requirements so more guests can dine with confidence.
