👍👍 Great kitchen! Nice atmosphere, warm welcome by an ultra friendly staff. The boss is a pearl just like the waitresses. The dishes are delicious at a much more than affordable price! People often mention delicious, restaurant, dishes, staff, Tunisian,

The dishes are delicious at a much more than affordable price! (Original) Cuisine top ! Ambiance sympa, accueil chaleureux par un personnel ultra gentil. Le patron est une perle tout comme les serveuses. Les plats sont délicieux à un prix bien plus qu’abordable !

    Hidden in the souk alley is my favorite restaurant in Sousse. This family-run restaurant is a clear local favorite with dishes that are generously portioned yet cheap, such as the sardine coucous for 12 DH. The staff is also super friendly as well! I highly recommend this place as the place to eat in the Sousse Medina!

    Outstanding lunch option. People here were so nice. The food was great. 31 Dinar for a lunch for two including soda, less than €10. (Dec 22). Pretty much exclusively locals.

    Very happy with this restaurant. Here we had one of our best meals in Tunisia. We had couscous with chicken and calamari filled with rice and chickpeas and both were delicious. The service is fast and polite.

    I recently visited this Tunisian restaurant and was blown away by the amazing food and excellent service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff and made to feel right at home. The menu was full of delicious Tunisian dishes, and I had a hard time deciding what to order. I ended up going with the couscous with lamb, and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the couscous was perfectly cooked and seasoned. But what really stood out to me was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure that everything was just right. They checked in on me frequently to make sure that I had everything I needed, and they were happy to answer any questions I had about the menu. Overall, I would highly recommend this Tunisian restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. The combination of delicious food and attentive staff made for a truly memorable dining experience.

    Such a great find in the middle of the Medina. Friendly staff and delicious food at a good price. It seems that this is where many of the locals go ! Highly recommend a visit . I had the grilled sardines which were amazing !

    We have a great late lunch at Soffra. We’re randomly walking around when we sensed the aroma of delicious local dishes. We tried sardines, oxtail and more. Everything was delicious and we finished with water melon, which you could say it was even better.

    Had a "kamouniyya" with beef there. It was very tasty as if made at home! I highly recommend this place. The food is very delicious and the staff is so friendly!

    Nestled on a quiet side street in the bustling Sousse Medina, "El Soffra" is a true hidden gem that we discovered with the help of Google Maps reviews. Our culinary adventure at this charming restaurant was a delightful surprise. From the flavorsome lentil starter to the mouthwatering grilled calamari plate and dorade fish, we loved the authentic, no frills Tunisian cuisine. What the restaurant lacks in elaborate decor, it most certainly makes up for in hospitality and efficiency. The owner even let us pick our fish and walked us into the kitchen to view the other plates!

    (Translated by Google) Yummy, typical Tunisian cuisine, very clean and super nice. To get there ask anyone for the souk and he will accompany you or will tell you where it is :) (Original) Buonissimo, tipica cucina tunisina, molto pulito e super gentili. Per arrivarci chiedete a chiunque per il suk e vi accompagnerà o saprà dire dov'é :)

    This hidden gem tucked into alleyway is one of my favorite places to eat in the Old City. Several main dishes are prepared each day. Always filled with locals and always delicious.

    Tasty food and nice service! There was no menus (only written on the wall (no English)) but waiter managed to explain everything.

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    Simple restaurant for locals with excellent food at reasonable prices. We liked the food so much, that we went back again two days later; the food was great both times 😋

    The chef is very rude, we asked for traditional tunisian food menu but he answered rudely that this is today's menu, we then asked him to give us an overview of the dishes in the menu but he answered very briefly like he's doing us a favour and he left when we kept asking ! We ended up leaving the place right away, the place might be famous but we will never go back again, it was a horrible experience I won't recommend this place there are many best choices around the corner that will treat you like a king.

👍 Food and ambiance was good. The night we went was very crowded so the service was not as quick as it could have been. There was a long queue of people waiting when we exited. Ravioli and pizza were very tasty.

👍 Nice place with good ambiance. The salad is not really fresh, especially cucumber and tomato, the eggs have weird taste... the steak is tasty, I also like the baked potatoes. The price is quite high but it is adequate to the quality.
