"Petit endroit typique tunisien très charmant. Un business de famille dont le fils a pris la relève mais toujours accompagné de son père. Accueil très chaleureux, et le propriétaire est attentionné. La simplicité du menu est ce qui donne le charme aussi, le couscous était très bon, le thé toujours un délice! Les prix sont très abordables et les quantités généreuses. Demandez aussi de la harissa sur le côté fait maison ça vaut le coup! Merci encore"

"javais essayé de venir une première fois et effectivement les horaires sont assez aléatoires il faudrait les mettre à jour sur google, mais une fois que jy suis allée et que c était ouvert j’ai été super bien accueillie!! Les boulangeries orientales ne courent pas les rues à Arles donc je plaçais beaucoup d’espoirs dans ce lieu! et je n’ai pas été déçue, le gérant est adorable, les pâtisseries sont délicieuses, meme si il manque de غريبية à mon goût, et le thé était incroyable pour 1euro50!! je recommande ça m’a fait du bien de manger ces petites pâtisseries en terrasse au soleil!"

"Accueil très chaleureux, portions généreuses et terrasse bien située sur une agréable placette au coeur de la vieille ville. Un bon plan pour un tarif plus modeste que les restaurants alentour (et ils ont aussi plein d’alléchantes pâtisseries)"

"Einfaches Lokal mit 2 Hauptgerichten (Couscous und Brique) in 2-3 Variationen. Mehr nicht - gelungener Minimalismus! Man wird schnell und freundlich bedient. Wir hatten den Couscous aux Légumes (11 €), dieser schmeckte schön scharf , das passte zu dem heißen Tag."
