So not only is the food a home run, but so is the service! \n\nI decided to hit Habbouz after the gym. I was starving for something healthy, so I popped open my Yelp app and out came Habbouz in the results. With rave reviews already, I HAD to give it a shot. Also, bear in mind, yesterday was Memorial Day, so I knew it was a gamble whether or not they'd be open, but I took a chance. \n\nThe restaurant is in an unassuming little strip mall. Sometimes, these are the best places to find great food, and this certainly was the case. Being Memorial Day, the parking lot was rather empty, so I decided to call first and see if they were open. Lucky for me, they were. \n\nIt's a simple place. Clean, but not a lot of flashy decor, which is fine, as long as the food is good, which it was. I had the chicken mechoui; and boy, was it TAAAAAAY-STY! A little on the pricey side, but they give you A LOT for your money. I felt it was a good value since I was able to get two meals out of it. I'd probably have gotten three, but I just couldn't stop eating it! The chicken was so tender and juicy, I couldn't put my fork down. \n\nThe owner and chef was so nice. She gave me recommendations on what to try. The only critique I would offer is the menu could be a little more descriptive, since most folks probably have not had authentic Tunisian cuisine before. Other than that, this place is a keeper, and I will be back for sure....with friends!"^^ . "6"^^ .
