My husband has a knack for picking the best little "Mom and Pop" ethnic restaurants that one would normally not look at twice from the outside. He looked at their menu online, saw that it was supposed to be the oldest authentic Tunisian food in the country, and it ended up exceeding our expectations. The service was attentive and the...

We love that little place. Does not look much from the outside but often, it is where you find gem! The couscous is fantastic. I had the vegies couscous and my hubby had the lamb couscous. Both were fantastic. Big portion, good flavor, good price! Also good as take-out.

This place looks like a little hole-in-the-wall joint that normally I wouldn't give a second thought to, but I decided to try it after reading the review on here. I was pleasantly surprised. The service was good, the atmosphere ok, but the food was great and very authentic. The prices were very reasonable too (I paid $8 for a dinner).... More

We tried this restaurant after reading some previous reviews. The food was good: we shared the Brika as an appetizer and it was very tasty. My husband had a Lablabi and I had the grilled lamb chops with rice and salad. Both dishes were flavorful and cooked properly. However, it appears the prices have gone up from previous reviews. The... More

We started with the appetizers sampler and nearly ran out if room for entrees. Sigara Boregi, omek houria, and hummus with malwi bread were all big hits with our vegetarian crew. The spices were delicate and flavorful. I wish I had room to try more. Highly recommend this special place.

We both had couscous, and it was wonderful. The portions are big and the food is dull of flavor. The service was excellent. Mohammed was our server and he answered all questions and did not let our cups get empty. If you are near you must go.

We find several places to eat using Trip Advisor, and this is one of our best finds yet! I had the Taste of Tunisia Couscous. It was amazing. I would ask for it to be a little spicier next time, but the flavor was excellent. Our waiter, Muhammed, was fantastic. We will only be I can the area for a... More

Wanted to try something new, and was not disappointed. The food was reminiscent of Greek and Persian foods-- fresh and very flavorful. The staff was friendly and helpful, explaining what the dishes were. It's a colorful, small restaurant with interesting decorations. There were hookahs on the windowsill, which may or may not be used on the premises. If so, I... More

We found Taste of Tunisia on restaurant.com for our visit to Arlington. Appetizer Tunisia Trio (my works) contained a large phyllo triangle with a raw egg inside that was then baked (I assumed). I will be trying this at home. Along with the phyllo, a mash of carrots very lighly spiced and a mash of eggplant. Server (lovely man) said... More
