A true taste of Tunisia. The food is the most authentic Tunisian cuisine I have had in Canada. They have all of the classic dishes on the menu even down to the lemonade. The service is great, all of the staff are Tunisian ensuring the culture & heritage is preserved through the most authentic experience you can get. All of the food is halal & a great option for anyone who wants to explore a beautiful culture through its cuisine

Oh my goodness!!!! I wish this place was in nyc because I would so be a regular!!! I got the chicken slow cooked inside the clay jar for 6 hours & oh my god!!!! The juiciest yummiest chicken ever!!! I loved the flavors & spices used. Also this restaurant is super cute!! The window seats you can sit on the ground & felt so authentic. The owner came & spoke to us & you can just tell how passionate he is about the food & his culture. Phenomenal experience & if I have coming back to Montreal I'm deff hitting this spot up again!!! Also HALAL & CUTE

First time having Tunisian food & definitely won't be my last! The staff was welcoming & passionate about authenticity. The brika was pleasantly flaky & light & should not be skipped! I had the chicken gargoulette & it was so juicy, it literally falls off the bone. Perfectly balanced in flavour. The pistachio creme brulee was not terribly sweet, which is to my taste 👍 I can't emphasize how much I enjoyed the presentation. I "wow"ed so many times that the staff giggled at how ridiculously amazed I was with the food & service.

Our first time trying Tunisian cuisine. Nice authentic restaurant. Food was very good. Portions were big. For entrees we had the bricka & the trio of salade or dip. For main we had the lamb gargoulette & seafood gargoulette. It needed a little salt but sauce was flavorful. Service was fast. The menu was hard to understand but you could see pictures of the plates on instagram. Seems to be very family friendly. Menu has many pasta dishes & sandwhiches. Music was a little loud & around 8h30 there was a live singer. He was good. Vibe was festif.but It was too loud for the small restaurant. It would have been fine maybe at a bigger restaurant or the sound system could be rearrange. some tables were too close to the stage area. We felt too crowded, servers had not enough space to circulate. Maybe have less table. Food had unique méditerranean flavors. It has potential.good for groups. Entrées can easily be shared. We would go back to try different dishes. But maybe going earlier in the eveneving.
