Maison Touareg

APPALLING! This so called restaurant has to be one of the worst I've ever set foot in.

Clearly benefitting from the foot fall in the middle of Soho and Old Compton Street which provides a buoyant flow of customers who are unaware of the horrendous food that lies within.

Maison Touareg is truly ghastly. The service is appalling, the food is very poor quality and the smell from the toilets is enough to put you off your food if the taste doesn't.

Terrible service, rude, lazy, unattentive and very slow.

Larger group bookings seem to get more attention so if you're dining as a couple, expect to be at the back of the queue.

I would not recommend this restaurant and can only imagine it survives through one time customers who are fooled by the kitsch and tacky Lebanese/ North African exterior and the promise of a mouth watering tagine!

Stay away.

This was the best Moroccan restaurant I have tried so far! Absolutely great food and service. The atmosphere was fab, full of life, but at the same time lovely and relaxing. Belly dancer was a nice surprise! Will definitely return!

Disappointing night at this restaurant. Was in a party of 25 and we were crammed in between two smaller parties on the basement floor. Food took ages to be served especially between courses and there was not enough to go around, although what we did have was very nice. Extra dishes were brought to the table after our plates had been cleared! Manager only offered us a 'doggy bag' to take extra food away. A reduction on the bill or service charge was requested (set menu meal was £25 per head + 12.5% service) but flatly refused by the manager. Entertainment (belly dancer and drummer) was fun. Certainly won't be returning to this restaurant.

Lovely, Lovely venue set in the heart of soho was a real find, ten of us from work attended and we had a great time. Fantasic food, really enjoyed pastilla and tagine lamb. Service was attentive and will definetly go back. Smoked a Shisha pipe outside which was unusual and watch a belly dancer who was stunning will definelty go back.

Went there for lunch 3 days ago. Didn't like the food at all, no taste at all.

The couscous veg where absolutely tasteless. The wine wasn't too far from a cherry vinegar and to finish the top of the top: DON'T GO TO THE TOILET.

Pitiful. Lovely setting, miserable and incompetent service. A lamb tagine consisted of four small chunks of lamb and three rather bigger chunks of gristle. Hot and cold starters were mediocre at best and overpriced. Don't be tempted by the welcoming, on-street seating and nice-looking menu, this is absolutely dreadful.
