Tizi Melloul

Mediterranean Restaurant + Lounge

Tizi is a dramatic escape into a luxurious Mediterranean culture. The moment you enter, you'll notice the rich color scheme that exudes decadence with crimson hues overflowing throughout. Elegant tapestries drape the interior walls, enveloping the dining room with charm. This sets the stage for a bold menu, executed with masterful creativity. To start, the crowd favorite is the fire-roasted Prince Edward Island mussels. Other favorites include the roasted free-range chicken with polenta, & the grilled jumbo ribeye with sundried tomato.

Every Sunday evening, you can experience Middle-Eastern culture with exclusive belly dancing shows, held in the Crescent Room. This intimate circular room seats up to 25, serves as the perfect place to watch the entertainment. It's also a popular place to host private parties, complete with personalized menus & service to impress your guests.

Editorial Review for Tizi Melloul – by J.P. Anderson

The Scene
Middle Eastern meets modern in this stylish space, where copper-plated tables, hypnotic sitar music and a decor rich with red, blue and gold blend to set an exotic mood. Black-clad beauties linger in the cool white bar and lounge area; diners sit at tables in the dark, blood-red dining room or on pillows in the funky Crescent Room, a festive communal dining area where you bathe your hands in rose water before eating a traditional five-course Mediterranean feast.

The Food
Tizi Melloul's Mediterranean menu starts with tempting appetizers like fire-roasted mussels with warm harissa butter and grilled calamari stuffed with merguez sausage. Baba ghanoush, zesty tapenade and tabbouleh add up to a flavorful salad course; entrees range from grilled lamb loin with artichokes and fava beans to marinated duck breast with lentils and applewood bacon and brine-cured grilled pork chop with spiced carrots, raisins, pine nuts and tomato marmalade.

The dinner we had was great! The flavors exploded in your mouth! I didn't expect this from Tizi, I have been here in the past (4 years ago)and was skeptical to come back--boy am I glad I did! The service was ok but the food and atmosphere will bring me back!!!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Went in for dinner last week and we had a blast! The room was beautiful, and the food was amazing. Service was fine, very attentive and friendly. My friends and I all had different dishes from apps to entrees and we were not disappointed! The pear salad, fantastic!!! We can't wait to go back!!
