Reviews

I sincerely recommend you this restaurant! Our meal was amazing and the service was particularly great

I ordered couscous with chicken and I enjoyed my meal a lot. I paid 14£ for this and I was hoping if I had more time to return back and try the tajin. Pros ● Great portions that I kept on eating the food over 2 days and I even invited a friend to try. ● The chicken was so tinder, well marinated, and delicious. ● There tables in the restaurant are comfortable and a big group can go to eat there. ● The bathroom was clean. ● I enjoyed using their plates a lot. Cons ● I couldn't understand which kind of vegetables are served as I'm somehow for example intolerant to chickpeas. I hope there are more flexibility with choosing the vegetables in the future.

Very good Couscous, extremely friendly staff, beautiful typical Algerian atmosphere as well as very clean place. We had a Couscous végétarien and Couscous du Chef with my wife tonight who actually is originally from Algiers and was truly delighted by the quality of the food. A must stop address in Marseille! Highly recommended.

Nous avons commandés 5 couscous à emporter et nous avons été très bien accueillis. La viande et les légumes sont séparés ce qui est une super solution pour les végétarien et à ce propos, c’est le meilleur couscous VG que j’ai jamais mangé ! Les légumes sont fondants et goûtus et la semoule est succulente! Je recommande vivement!!!
