We saw all these amazing reviews & went on a Friday evening around 6pm, we were the only people at the restaurant. I'm sorry but we ordered their most expensive dishes & the food wasn't good at all & we couldn't even finish it even though it wasn't much. Whether I don't know cuisine or these reviews are fake.
Good food but I think the service could be better. The man is an older gentleman & slower & lacked English. It makes more sense to have the younger staff that are quick imho
Stopped in on our first evening in the city, the food was excellent & the servers helpful - I knew very little about tunisian food & was grateful for kind explanations of the menu & some cultural context!
Welcoming & warm space to enjoy wonderful Tunisian dishes with friends. Loved everything including the mixed salad, honey lamb & pistachio dessert. Will definitely be back!!
My family & I had a fantastic experience last evening. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy & welcoming-it feels like you've been invited into someone's home. The presentation was unique & everything tastes great. The staff were warm & attentive, explaining the menu with genuine passion. A must-visit! Highly recommended!💕
