"Wow this place was great! and not what I expected..\n\nI've never eaten Tunisian food before so after reading a lot of great things about it on yelp I figured I'de check it out. I was thinking it would be more middle-eastern - not far from egyptian style middle eastern food. I was way off. Its much closer to moroccan food (but different). There is definitely a marked french influence on the food.\n\nThe first thing about this place is how small it is. You sit at a table and you see the guy preparing the food right there. the kitchen is completely exposed. Kinda cool. For a time the cook had no help so he would have had to stop preparing my food to get me more water :P\n\nMy friend and I started with the Calamari. The guy said it was not like any other calamari dish and he was right. It came in this spicy sauce which was great.\n\nI ordered the trout in coriander sauce. It came with potatoes and eggplants. Everything was grilled (over hot coals i think) so it had a great grilled flavour. I love when they grill meat first and then put the sauce on it. Thoroughly excellent and very reasonable for a fish entree at $15. \n\nMy friend had the merguese which I think has been written about at length here. Its lamb sausage. I tried it. Extremely flavourful and tasty. Also has a really nice sauce.\n\nI will definitely be back. This neighbourhood is a hidden treasure of awesome north african restaurants!"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . .
