First time trying Bambalouni — completely converted

I had never tried Bambalouni before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The deeply savoury taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. preserved lemon is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a market food stall setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. Tunisian cuisine is the spiciest of the Maghreb cuisines thanks to the importance of harissa. My server recommended fresh lemon juice alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Bambalouni. Outstanding first encounter.
